Our family was faced with making arrangements for our mom who was visiting the area and the staff immediately put us at ease. They responded quickly, communicated clearly, and handled every detail with care and efficiency. What could have been an overwhelming experience became much more manageable because of their guidance and genuine compassion.

It's really hard to find any kind of place these days these days that has decent service to the public but the office staff (I think they were called counselors?) went above and beyond for us. The grounds are beautiful and you can tell that the outside workers take pride in what they do. The office staff were helpful, and not pushy at all. They listened to us and were mostly concerned with helping us get what we wanted and not on what someone else might think we should have. The prices for the plots were a lot better than the other two places we talked to and we had a lot of nice areas to choose from. Only thing I don't like is that they lock the gate when it gets dark at night so I can't come visit after work. Most people wouldn't care but I work an odd schedule. Wish they would leave it open all the time. Thank you to the staff for guiding our family through what was a very hard time.

I spoke with them last week and was told they had it and would have it added to her marker!

Sorry for your loss: I lost my mother a week ago, and this business really lifted so much off my…read moreshoulders. I can't recommend them enough. My mom had been sick for years and was very isolated as she neared the end. She didn't want a big service or event. I had a friend who lost their son and used the company- cremation options. After a little research I found that all of the mortuaries and funeral homes in the Knoxville area use the same cremation facility. Ask for the price of the service in writing flat - no up charge - this company did. They were so compassionate and cut and dry; without any extra frills or add-ons (things like cosmetology or dressing or transportation) ... the experience we had with this family run company was... I hate to say but it was calming and uplifting. It was such a relief to know that my mother was is going to be taken care of with dignity and respect. The friends that recommended them were able to attend their son's cremation and put hand prints on the enclosure before he entered the cremation chamber (sorry to be frank). My grandmother, her grandmother and uncles were charged from $7,000 to $16,000 for a modest, simple service. Cremation Options gave us plenty of choices for urns or keepsake things but my mom wanted a simple but specific look. We were able to bring in our own boxes and keepsake 'holders' and for no charge. They happily transferred her ashes (and labeled) the vessels we brought in to them for all members of our family that wanted them. So here is the truth, bottom line. We had our mother cremated and brought home for $1,689.00. It would have been $1550.00 but we needed 10 notarized death certificates at $15 a piece with extra non- official copies. That is a fraction of the cost we were quoted from other companies. Please do your research and make the right choice for your family. Sorry for your loss.

We were quite impressed with the ease of discussion and how she answered questions that we didn't even know we had! She had a list of the services and the pricing readily available. There was absolutely no pressure to commit to anything today--which gives us more time to discuss the options with our families. You just never know what life will throw at you and we do not want to be making end of life care on one of the worst days of our life. We have a dog we would like to view our body after we pass and she had a solution for that. (we are in Knoxville, not St Cloud)
