I deeply regret choosing Spangler Cremation Service to cremate my beloved mother…read more It was my wish to have a lock of my mother's hair and a copy of her fingerprints before she was cremated. I paid extra for the fingerprints and watched Kevin write my requests on one of their forms. I stressed to Kevin that this was very important to me. I had not heard from them, so after 10 days I called to ask if I could pick up her ashes. They called back and said that they had "dropped the ball" on getting a lock of my mother's hair and her fingerprints. This has left me devastated and has caused great emotional turmoil. It was very important to me that my mother's remains were treated with dignity, so we read many reviews for several cremation businesses in the area. We weren't even looking for the cheapest service. We just wanted her remains to be treated with care. Although they state that they provide "compassionate care," the fact that they did not review the forms with my requests (which I watched them write down on the form before we paid for the service) before cremating my mother gives me little faith that they treated her with compassion or dignity. There are just some jobs that you cannot afford to "drop the ball" on. It is not like this was a coffee order that they got wrong. This was my mother's remains and I will never get her back. I will never be able to have a lock of her hair or her fingerprints like I wished. Handling the remains of our loved ones is sacred work and it seems like this business has been de-sensitized to the gravity of the service they provide. It is difficult to trust that I even have the correct ashes. And, as I said, the result of their carelessness has caused me great emotional distress. There is absolutely nothing that they can do to remedy this situation as it has left me utterly devastated. Please consider using someone else who will treat your loved one with dignity.

But when that time comes, you are never prepared... so I lost my little furbaby a week ago and today Trent Snell from Compassionate Pet Cremation called and said Diesel was ready to go home. . From beginning to end Trent the owner and his worker Jose was all considerate and very caring. When Diesel passed and I called Compassionate Pet cremation , Trent informed me yes, they could come and pick him up. Jose came and he was very nice, cared for my Diesel and the whole process was a smooth one. Highly recommend them. I'm hoping not anytime soon, but if I ever have to go through this again with my fur kids- I will definitely call Compassionate Pet Cremation. Thank you Trent and Jose for giving me a few extra little memories of my Diesel.
