When I called, Don expressed his sympathy and walked me step-by-step through the process and the overall timing. When I explained that I was out of state, he advised me everything could be done remotely. (This was not the case with some others I called.) The pricing was straight forward and competitive. I chose to use Compassionate Cremations and it was a great decision. They kept in touch throughout the process and everything was done by the timeline they provided. They made a difficult time easier. Thanks Ron and Don!

I HAVE NEVER had to deal with such incompetence, and in one of my saddest times. We called on…read moreSaturday of our loss and spoke to someone extremely helpful, gave us the estimated cost, told us just to list the name and number of the location we wanted. We did so. Then we started getting calls from their Clearwater location, their Tampa location, and their Spring Hill locations. Nobody understood where we were located despite numerous attempts to clarify. We went in to sign paperwork and the lady acted like we were picking out furniture rather than cremating our baby boy. The cost doubled from the original estimate. I had to call repeatedly the next week to figure out where he was and when we could come pick up his remains. No one seemed to know!! Every time I'd have to call it was incredibly painful to have his life so disrespected. Why didn't I receive any updates or proactive calls? Why did I have to work so hard to figure out where he was throughout the whole process? Heartbroken

I cannot imagine have done this without the LOVE and support Brewer and Sons funeral home has given to me. Emma the manager there is truly an angel. She has given me strength I didn't know I was lacking or needing. She completely took over handled everything. She listened to every detail I had and she made it all happen. The response time to any questions or comments I had was instant. She let me focus on healing my heart while she seriosuly took on everything. I am lost for words at what all to even say but I know the amount of praise still would not be enough expression of how helpful and truly blessed I am and my family is with the love and dedication she put into these arrangements for my nana. Emma thank you for making days better, healing quicker and taking this heartache into your hands and handling it with grace, professionalism and mostly love. You will forever be remembered for your love and I just thank you.

Our mother just passed on October 1, 2022 and we went back to Sandra. Again, Sandra helped us through the process. Unfortunately, we had to cancel the memorial and move it elsewhere due to our brother needing life threatening surgery. Sandra was so compassionate, telling us not to worry about the contract. She took care of the paperwork for the cremation right away. It was such a relief during a stressful time. If you have to go through the process, we highly recommend working with Sandra and the staff at Turner Funeral home.

Cemetary is beautful. Lots of trees and open areas. Mausoleums as well. Crematorium on sight. Lots of options avaiable to you. They even have an area for guests to have a catered lunch after the service!! One stop shopping. You can even be buried in a kayak!!! I love the dolphin statue. I'll be buried in NJ, but probably will have my service here and a memorial service in NJ by my grave. I'll be buried at the foot of my Dad's grave in the same cemetary as Tina and Nana. I took a lot of pictures too share.

Our family suffered a recent, unexpected loss of our father which catapulted us into the realm of…read morehaving to choose a cremation service. We received a list from the hospice nurse and, honestly, started with Florida Direct Cremation because of their location in St Pete. I have to say, it feels like it was divine intervention. From the very beginning Theo was compassionate and caring. He took the time to walk me through the process and helped answer all of my questions. I knew right away they were the right choice for our family's needs. Florida Direct Cremation is a small, family-owned business and you can tell by the attention and care they provide. Theo notified us when our father was in their care, he assisted with providing our father with honors given to a military veteran, and he stayed in contact with any updates in the process. I felt confident in entrusting them with our father. In terms of value, honestly, we did not do a lot of looking around since Florida Direct offered what we needed and nothing more. We did not need a big funeral home. We needed a service provided by someone who we could trust. I appreciate how Florida Direct Cremation does some of the leg work in notifying social security as well as mailing the death certificates to me (out of state). That and the wonderful customer service made Florida Direct Cremation a great value and great fit for us. Thank you, Theo. In this absolute dumpster fire of a situation (Google Florida "Free Kill" Law and schedule your surgeries out of state, you're welcome), Theo was a bright spot. He was compassionate, knowledgeable, kind, and patient. Theo, you made a terrible situation less terrible. Thank you.
