Each change in the schedule reinforced the value of patience and adaptability, which are essential qualities in both writing and life's significant moments. My husband, Burrell Brown, passed away in late September. In handling the arrangements, I turned to Triad Cremations and Funeral Services. The funeral director, John McLendon, demonstrated exceptional patience as I needed to adjust the date several times to accommodate family members' attendance. His understanding made a challenging situation more manageable. The facility itself was pristine and welcoming, providing comfort during a difficult time. Many attendees remarked that the memorial tribute was among the best they had ever experienced. This speaks volumes about the professionalism and dedication of the staff, who were consistently kind, supportive, and accommodating. Having experienced such high-quality care and service, I have already made my own cremation arrangements with Triad Cremations and Funeral Services. My hope is to have a service that honors me in the same way my dearly departed was honored. I am deeply grateful for this place, which not only offers reasonable prices but also maintains a high standard of excellence. I wholeheartedly recommend Triad Cremations and Funeral Services to my friends and family. In addition to cremations, they also provide traditional burial services. Thank You Bonita Reid Brown

They told different stories on actually cremating the mementos to be cremated with our loved one, and then when I said I was going to leave honest reviews about them, they offered to give me my money back if I removed the negative reviews. Look on their other reviews on different sites for examples of dishonest dealings, one review said a wedding ring of the deceased was removed by an employee and the police tracked it down to a pawn shop. Be warned about this business. You owe your loved ones better.

I spoke to a few different people from various funeral homes and when I spoke to Kyle from Lotz Funeral Home I immediately felt comfortable and at ease when we were discussing my mom's creamation arrangements.

My mom's ashes arrived today in California safely and I am extremely grateful for the smooth and great service that Kyle provided for my mom and I.
