My Dad passed away a month ago. When he passed we were informed we had 72 hours to have him picked…read moreup from the hospital. We did some research and found Maryland Cremation Services and they came highly recommended. It was a holiday weekend but Brian answered right away and immediately helped us with everything. He and the rest of the staff were great! We spoke with Ed and he let us know when our Dad was picked up and he communicated with us throughout everything. Ed's daughter Rachel was awesome in assisting and making our beautiful prayer cards. Even though this has been an extremely difficult time in our lives Maryland Cremation Services helped reduce our stress by helping to guide us through the process. We also purchased some beautiful items and our boys love their necklaces. Thank you all again!

In the end, everything was done right, professionally and courteously. They promptly answered all my questions and emails, obtained all certificates and I got my sister's ashes.

When my mother was put into Comfort Care, I had researched cremation services and pretty much knew…read morewhat I wanted before I interviewed (in person) four crematories/funeral homes. Two of them failed to disclose all their fees until I asked additional questions (based on my research), one of them was double the price of the other three, and the fourth one was Direct Cremation Services. I met with a gentleman named Kip, who didn't try to upsell me, and gave me a package that met my requests. The costs were significantly lower than the other three places. He assured me that Direct Cremation Services would take care of everything, and explained both the logistical process and the paperwork/payment process. When my mother passed away, on a weekend, Kip returned my (notification) call, emailed me the link to take care of the documents, and immediately send his team out to transport my mother's remains. He told me the paperwork could wait until Monday. Thereafter, everything went as promised, and I picked up my mother's "cremains" yesterday. An unbelievably smooth process during a difficult time. I can't recommend this place enough.

I chose Direct Cremation because of all of the positive reviews. Unfortunately, my experience was…read morevery different from what I read. Having never been through the experience of managing the passing of a loved one, I didn't know what to expect. I arranged for DC to provide services. A few days later I bunch of emails with tasks assigned out of the blue. I called to ask about them and was directed to my funeral director who told me those were optional. A couple days later I got a contract and a payment link. Again, I called to question and let the director know we wanted to have an urn for the ashes and that I needed everything shipped to me. Shortly after, I got a new contract and a new payment link. Days passed and I called again to get status. Still waiting. A few days later, I called again. Should be done by end of week. See a pattern? No contacts by DC. Every call was made by me. The end of the week came and I finally got a call. My loved one was ready to be picked up. Wait, what? I paid for shipping. " Oh yeah, that's what I meant". Really?? Anyway, the company provided the service I paid for but communication was non existent. I don't think I ever got a "sorry for your loss" from our funeral director. Given the industry the operate in, I would have expected a little more.

He took action and arranged to have her immediately transferred to Harrisburg even though it was in the middle of a snowstorm. From that first contact until her ashes were handed to me, every aspect of care was handled in a totally professional and caring manner. I highly recommend Mr. Prusasky and the Cremation Society of Pennsylvania on Jones Rd. in Harrisburg, it is an excellent organization.

Sadly, my mom passed on March 20th at Penn State Hospital. The hospital accidently sent my mom's…read morebody here by mistake. Even though it was a mistake, it was meant to be. Let me say Mr. Chad is THE BEST HANDS DOWN! I chose to follow my mom's wishes and have a cremation with no service. Like some other families, mine had drama after death so the cremation took some time to complete, but Mr. Chad was patient. He actually kept me calm through the whole thing. Also, my mom was to be cremated in something specific, and even though I was not there physically, Mr. Chas made me feel as if everything I requested was completed. As far as pricing. VERY REASONABLE. Cremation, Urn, Shipping, D.C & all paperwork were less than 2400! I couldn't beat it as places around the area were charging more and would have to transport her body to a crematory. This place is a one-stop caring shop. Lastly, thank everybody, especially Mr. Chad for making the hard transition in life the least of my worries.
