David Parente and his staff were responsive, caring, professional and fully transparent.

I felt at ease from first contact that my loved one (and I !) would be treated with care and respect. I appreciated the prompt response from the moment I reached out. Without hesitation, I would recommend Simple Choices for end of life arrangements.

I'm a year late writing this review, but it was recently the first anniversary of the death in our…read morefamily and it reminded me that we intended to share our glowing review of Simple Choices but didn't get to it in the months immediately after. At the time, I called around to at least 4-6 different places in the Albany area to understand the cremation options available, at a very stressful time obviously. Roy was BY FAR the most compassionate, patient, responsive, and clear about what to expect. Seriously, you just don't want to deal with the impersonal or callous attitudes that came across in my first phone call with some of the other places that offer cremation services. There wasn't even the smallest hint of anything other than the ideal level of genuine helpfulness from Roy. On top of that the prices were extremely fair, and the environment and decor in the Simple Choices funeral home is very comforting. Looking back, it also feels good to have supported a business & team that is committed to doing the right thing for people at their worst times. They live out ALL the values stated on their website. Oh, and I should also mention just in case anyone's looking for this detail in a review - our family isn't Christian, and Roy was nothing but pure kindness and understanding on adjusting the decor in the funeral home for our small family viewing. Roy & team, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for your excellence at serving us at such a difficult time. If we could leave you a 6 star review we would!

When a family is going thru a hard time with dealing with a death, the arrangements should be as least stressful as possible. We were extremely pleased with the work. I simply cannot begin to thank Benjamin enough. His passion and dedication to his craft and business truly shows and he is such a pleasant spirit. Hoping that I will not be planning a funeral anytime soon but it is hard to find reviews on funeral homes. Sturges is highly recommend for anyone who may be looking. Thank you for everything

This was the hardest day in my life and I truly feel God put Jeff into my path. He was wonderful from start to finish. He made everything so much easier and we knew Mom would be taken care of.

My family and myself will always be thankful. Sincerely, Kellie Nardin

I don't feel a review can put it all into words; but I can say, they were exactly what I needed and went above and beyond to provide for the needs I had. I live out of state and chose the chapel based on limited internet search (my brother lived near Albany), and they were "more than I could ask" which is all I could have asked. Recommend without reservation.
