I love this place and they helped me tremendously when my mother passed away. They provide cremation on site and the chapel was quite lovely for the memorial service. The funeral and admin staff was compassionate and professional. They worked with me since day 1 and helped me along the way when it came to funeral arrangements. THANK YOU! BTW, the building is art deco since it was built in the 1930s, and it's part of Miami history. It's an old bldg but it's modernize and well maintained. They have a small kitchen to prep food and drinks for guests. They have a decent size parking lot on site behind the building. There is street parking on the same block but not in front of the bldg. I highly recommend this place! read more

A BIG THANK YOU to the staff at Vans Orsdel at the Midtown location! I cannot say enough how pleased and extremely satisfied I was with the location, ambiance and to Randy, Bruce, Joanne and Frank. I loved the little chapel and the beautiful furniture. The staff were very helpful from setting up the refreshment to making sure that everyone signed the memorial book and grabbed a picture of my mom on the way out. They were very accommodating! A special shout out to David Gonzalez the director at the Coral Gables location. You made the transition of my mom so comfortable and soothing with your voice. I highly recommend Van Orsdel! read more

My father passed away and it was really important to me to find a funeral home with on site cremation. This little mortuary in midtown is gorgeous and peaceful. The little chapel was just perfect, my dad wasn't super religious. I really didn't think we would find a place that would've been right for my dad and even talked to them about a possible Home Viewing, but ultimately decided on the service at the chapel. Frank was really awesome, and Joanna helped on the day of the service. Everything was really great! My only advise is to come in a few days before hand to check your video and sound, they did warn us! Still it was perfect. The moment of goodbye and chance to be with our dad through the whole process was very comforting to our family. My friends and family could not stop talking about how beautiful this little place was and how perfect it was for my dad. I highly recommend. read more

I would highly recommend this funeral home and crematorium to anyone. Sadly my beloved mother passed away from a terminal illness in December of 2018, (right before Christmas) and I can say my family and I received the most professional and kind treatment from the manager Mr. Frank López and his staff. I made a lot of special requests on how I wanted my mother's funeral and body to be handled and they met and exceeded all my requests and expectations. My advice is: do your research, know what you want, ask lots questions and communicate your expectations. I will forever be grateful for the level of kindness, empathy and respect they showed to us. read more

My mother's unexpected death has been probably the worst thing that has ever happened to my family. The professionalism and compassion of the Van Orsdel Crematorium and Chapel was incredibly helpful. They were sensitive and paid attention to every detail. I can't thank them enough. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Our family had a horrible experience at this funeral home. My sister passed away recently and we decided to have her cremated here. I cannot stress enough, the uncompassionate, dishonest, and unprofessional behavior that we experienced while there. Lie after lie, one employee would say something and then would be contradicted by another. We were not given an itemized bill and we were under the impression that we had paid for a viewing in the chapel but instead were told that our viewing would occur in what was essentially a closet. Then, when we had gone to pick up the ashes of my sister when I was told they would be ready, I was confronted by rude and insensitive employees who not only said very disheartening comments but also were unable to tell me whether or not my sister was actually ready to be picked up like I was told the night before. I hope this does not happen to you, please avoid this funeral home if possible. read more
