After losing the best friend I have, Maryann McConnell and her staff completely made my life easier through this grieving process. I had so many things to take care of and Maryann made this aspect run flawlessly. I would highly recommend them as well as Maryann for your cremation process. Thank you very much for all you did. Respectfully

Michael B.

Bloomfield Hills, MI

I would like to personally thank William Randy Holland for taking such good care of the details needed to be completed for my husband's cremation. He handled each detail with care and compassion and I really appreciate his efficiency and kindness. Thank you, Randy!

Barbara S.

Riverside, CA

My mother had just moved to the area and only signed up a few weeks before her unexpected passing. Daren was able to make the whole process, for me, as painless as possible during this time. He kept me informed through every step. His compassion and thoughtfulness, as well as the services provided by National Cremation, were invaluable to me during this time.

Debra H.

Las Vegas / Henderson, NV

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Linda Haugen through my father-in-law’s passing. Linda was compassionate, thoughtful and so helpful in the cremation process. Linda, you are one of a kind in customer relations you were soft-spoken, caring never raised your voice or became agitated or upset. I can’t say enough nice things about Linda, she is a friend.

Anita C.

Phoenix, AZ

When there is the loss of a loved one. It is always a stressful time. With the help and direction given by Randy, it made everything so easy. Everything was explained in easy terms that made it understandable. I would recommend the service and Randy to anyone. Thanks, Randy.

Stanley T.

I greatly appreciated Mallory Johnson being so kind and efficient with the passing of my husband. She was also so time accommodating when arranging to pick up his ashes.

Donna A.

Cocoa, FL.

My husband and I had subscribed to your services a few years ago and hoped we wouldn't have to use it for many years. Your office was most accommodating, Meghan was a gem and the entire procedure went very smoothly. Thank you so much!

Teckie K.

Sarasota, FL

My Sister passed on Friday, November 16th. I primarily dealt with Lisa., the Funeral Director. She was very compassionate and went the extra mile towards me and helping me through this situation, for that I truly appreciate all her efforts to finally get the results. She does an exceptional job and remains on top of any situation. Lisa, I thank you for all your time and cooperation.

Rebecca

Clearwater, Fl

5 stars are not enough to describe the excellent care and service that Patrick Griffin gives. This is the second time I have had to call on Patrick for a family member. He always provides care, compassion, speed, and overall superiority when it comes to handling this part of the death process for you. I think cremation is the way to handle your end, and Patrick is definitely the man to deal with for this. Thank you, Patrick, for everything!

Frank K.

Chicago / IL

Lisa and her team are absolutely amazing! My grandfather recently passed and none of his affairs were in order. My mother and I finalized all of the funeral arrangements via phone and email from Colorado. Lisa walked us through every step with patience, kindness, and compassion. She assisted us in organizing all of the military honors for his service and she took great pride in making sure every detail was perfect! These are such difficult decisions at a terribly sad time and Lisa and her team made the entire experience much less painful. I highly recommend their expertise!

Ivy M.

Clearwater, FL

Randy is such a huge help and even going the extra mile to make it easier on us during such a grievous time. As a family, we were so impressed and relieved from the stress and pressure in handling such matters that we view him and his staff as a blessing and an answer from our prayers.

Mary H.

Carpinteria, CA

During this difficult and stressful time, Randy was truly a blessing. He took his time to make sure I was comfortable with the arrangements. Though the original arrangements were in PA, Randy confirmed it the CA laws so that we would get the commendations my father requested. Thank you for your service, Randy.

Darryl W.

San Francisco, CA

In a very difficult and emotional time of my life, Randy was both professional and compassionate. He accommodated me by meeting on Saturday when their office is normally closed. He was also careful to explain everything to me in detail and making sure I understood the policy and procedure. One of the things I appreciated most was his transparency and honesty. He did not try to take advantage of my emotional state and up-sell me things I really did not need. He let me know that it could take between 10 to 15 days for the cremation and the spreading the ashes at sea to be completed, after which we would receive the certificate indicating when the ashes were spread. He handled the paperwork with the Social Security office and was available for anything else I needed. At what is an extremely stressful time for most people, Randy was truly a Godsend.

Donald W.

Thank you, Josh, for following through with our wishes. My brother's ashes arrived today, as promised. He can now rest alongside our Mom & Dad.

Having to call here was the worst day of my life but I am thankful that I found this place. Randy was an angel!! My Dad and I were very thankful for everything he had done for my Mom. Randy went above and beyond for us and was just amazing. I want to thank Randy from the bottom of my broken heart, THANK YOU!!! I would recommend this place, they are kind, gentle, and caring people.

Randy, thank you for the kind heartfelt service you provide to us. This is certainly not something we think about during the everyday course of our lives, but we are very grateful that when we did need to, you were there. The service you provide is spot on and helped make a difficult time much less complicated. Thank You, Sincerely Mike and Connie

Mike G.

San Francisco, CA

When we were advised by the hospice to plan ahead, I reluctantly made the phone calls. I reached Paula, who answered the phone right away (as opposed to voicemail!) and patiently answered my many, many detailed questions. When my Mom passed, Patrick called me and took care of everything for us. He guided us through the paperwork and made everything very easy. He was flexible in meeting a special request and he came to our home. He provided us with a checklist of things we would need to take care of in the future and even notified social security for...

Bill J.

Katherine was professional, compassionate and helpful in my decisions on taking care of my mother's final wishes. No high pressure at a sad time just thorough in making me aware of my options. Final steps were handled in a timely fashion and our last visit was like talking with a friend that cared about how our family was doing.

Thomas M.

Randy at National Cremation Service was professional, helpful and kind. Our Aunt passed away in Riverside. Randy supported us through the cremation process as we are located on the east coast. It was very comforting to know Randy was taking good care of our aunt when we could not be present. Thank you.

On the evening of November fourth my Father, mentor and best friend passed away. Currently, I am stationed overseas. I went home to see my Dad in September where we discussed his wishes for when the time came. Randy and his team at National Cremation did more than just fulfill them.

On the evening of November fourth my Father, mentor and best friend passed away. Currently, I am stationed overseas.

Even being thousands of miles away, Randy made me feel as if I were there right beside him, my Mother and Sister throughout the entire process in fulfilling my Dad’s wishes. Omy and Damian were the two gentlemen who came out to pick up my Dad when they saw the Flag draped over him that my Sister and Aunt placed on his body, they played Taps out of respect for the Man they came to take.

Words alone cannot express the overwhelming gratitude and appreciation that my family and I have for Randy and his Team, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making an extremely difficult time go as smoothly as it could. May the Lord bless you and everyone at National Creation.

My mom passed away recently and National Cremation Society was very efficient in handling her affairs and helping me through the process. I would recommend them to anyone - it makes the process much easier for the grieving family members.

Karen K.

North Fort Myers, FL

Used NCS in 2011 when my husband passed. Lisa Lustig guided me thru with compassion, understanding,& support. Because of this experience, my family prepaid our Mother, then decided to do our own plans. This included travel detail for death away from home. This month we returned following Mother's death, and Lisa again was invaluable in guiding this emotional time.

Alice-Marie K.

Seminole, FL

My father recently passed away. He had prepaid for his cremation 20 years ago through National Cremation & Burial Society. We had no idea what to expect when we called and were most pleasantly surprised. Jeffrey Testerman was outstanding in his assistance and advice and we couldn't have been more pleased--and relieved--with how smoothly and professionally the whole process was handled. We appreciated that there were no sales pitches or pressure to do anything other than what Dad arranged. Many many thanks for a job well done.

Teresa J.

During such a difficult time in our lives, you made this matter as easy as possible for myself and my family. I am extremely impressed with your professionalism. You went above and beyond as you personally took care of my family in our time of need; it was noticed and greatly appreciated. Thank you again, for everything you did, as we said goodbye to a loved one. Sincerely, Peter S.Jr. & Family

My aunt lived in Florida most of her adult life. I live on Long Island in New York. My aunt had written me about prearrangements she had made with National Cremation. When she entered a nursing home at the age of 93, I called National Cremation. They were very helpful in explaining to me the steps they would take upon her passing. After she passed, I was contacted by Drew Johnson from Hudson FL. With phone calls and emails, Drew walked me through the necessary paperwork needed for the cremation. After the cremation, he discussed, with me, options for a... Read More

Drew was very helpful and thoughtful. I would highly recommend him and National Cremation and Burial Society. It was nerve-wracking planning a military funeral in conjunction with Bushnell Military Cemetery. Everything went beautifully and he even got the Deacon we requested to perform the ceremony. We are very happy with the way our loved one was handled. Thanks so much, Drew!

My husband passed away on September 26th of this year, we want to thank Tonya for her compassion and patience during this difficult time.

No pressure for extras at that difficult time. Everything was done the way we requested. Sincerely, Marilyn R.

Irene L.

NCS was chosen by my father roughly 20 years ago to handle his needs. I have to say he made the right choice. The whole group was most helpful and understanding of our family when he passed. Every one of our questions was answered promptly. Most of them were anticipated. I would also like to thank Lisa Lustig personally for her help and friendship. She is an outstanding representative of NCS. Thank you all for your unsurpassed care.

William S.

Clearwater, FL

The presentation by the National Cremation representative was thorough and easily understood. All the questions asked by me and my wife were answered and relevant to our particular situation. For example, our families live a number of states away from us. In addition, the representative was very personable and did not pressure us in any way. We signed a contract at this meeting and are confident that all our needs will be met when the time of death comes.

Randy, Thank you very much for all you've done in assisting my family and honoring my Father. I appreciate the kind words and the support, you made an extremely difficult time go as smoothly as possible.

I immensely respect and appreciate all you have done. God bless you and your team. Very Respectfully,

I grew up not too far from National Cremation and other people who had passed have used them before. Having used them before and not having any problems as well as always seeing that they had done an outstanding job made me automatically go to them without even considering anybody else. Also, my interactions with the staff of National Cremation are excellent and beyond my expectations. My experience was fantastic this time and better than I had expected. My father passed and I had never actually had to put the service together myself. I walked in, not knowing anything, and... Read More

My experience was fantastic this time and better than I had expected. My father passed and I had never actually had to put the service together myself. I walked in, not knowing anything, and I spoke with Jeffrey. He was amazing, basically held my hand, and did everything possible. My mother and the rest of the family were so pleased with his professionalism and his absolute kindness in dealing with the whole thing. He handled A to Z and everything we could possibly imagine. So, if you need a facility, I recommend National Cremation highly. They take care of the details and they allow you the time that you need to grieve.

Valerie G.

Cape Coral, FL

My parents signed up for National Cremation & Burial Society. They planned this, all they wanted was their body to be picked up, cremated, and sent to Arlington. We appreciate that nobody tried to give us any religious consult in everything as we’re atheists. When I called National Cremation, they came and picked up the body, they gave me all the information I needed, set everything up to go to Arlington, and they didn’t bother me. They were perfect, just the way I liked it. Simone was amazing. The interactions I had in West Palm Beach with her and her team were flawless. Everything was done correctly, honestly, and on time. My parents died within a year of each other and each time was handled professionally, quickly, expediently, and with very little chit-chat. I was happy with National Cremation at both times.

Pierrette C.

San Diego, CA

I liked National Cremation's location. The man that was there, Darren, was excellent. He was very understanding and kind. Don't hesitate to go with National Cremation. They were very considerate and thorough, and they handled everything. The pricing was very fair, too.

I would like to say what a wonderful job Jeffrey Testerman did in handling the arrangements and all of the problems that came with my very good friend's death. My friend had unusual items in his will, and Jeffrey, with his incredible knowledge, was able to work through all of the issues. Jeffrey is caring, knowledgeable and just a real pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend him high enough.

John P.

North Fort Myers, FL

National Cremation Society was recommended to us by friends who had previously secured their services. The local representative, Stephen Barreto was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able to submit the majority of information over the phone. Stephen had all of our paperwork ready when we arrived at the Oviedo office. He explained everything in detail. The kind staff at National Cremation is the major reason they have so many positive reviews. Thank you, Stephen and everyone at the Oviedo location.

Doug M.

Oviedo, FL

I cannot praise the entire staff enough during the difficult time of losing my husband. Professional, honest, answered every question, help filling out the mountain of forms and true compassion. Definitely would not go anywhere else.

Sally C.

North Fort Myers, FL

My parents bought a plan with National Cremation and my mother dealt with them when my father passed away 15 years ago. They were very helpful with my father’s burial as well as with my mother’s. When she was ill, I talked to Cindy, the gal in the office, who answered the phone. Indira, the agent, was outstanding and the information she gave me was very clear. If I made mistakes on some forms, she would notify me and send me the correct things to fill out. The experience with them was wonderful and they were great.

Nancy K.

Denver, CO

It was a pleasant experience with National Cremation. Everything went very smoothly. Everything that I asked for was done. We had a beautiful service at the National Cemetery for military and everything was handled. I’m a detail person, and I double-checked, and everything was already done for me.

Estelle M.

West Palm Beach, FL

We signed up with National Cremation four years ago and I have had an excellent experience with them. Their team is very good at their job. The pre-planned service was convenient and all was taken care of. They were very professional, low-key and not religious or sappy. They had a good personality and there was humor at times when it was necessary.

Susan S.

My Significant Other passed away on October 5. We went through this when my mother in law passed away last year. Jeffrey Testerman and the rest of the staff were wonderful during this process. Jeffrey explained everything and made sure I understood everything. He even helped me with some paperwork after the funeral. I couldn't ask for more. Many people said what a beautiful service it was.

My contact with this Business has been one of the best experiment in my life in a time of grief. National Cremation Service and Randy Holland guided me through some tough times in a world I knew nothing about. this company is top of the best in every way. Without Randy and his guidance, I would have been totally lost. Thanks to Randy I made it and things have worked out great. Thanks again, Randy.

Many thanks to Sarah and her team. Everything went smoothly with her help. We pre-purchased several years ago for peace of mind for the family when the time came. NCS is a very professional and caring organization. I have recommended them to others even before my wife suddenly passed. Thanks again to Sarah Franklin J.

Frank J.

Ocala, FL

Let"s face it, our dealings with Catherine Rawdin, of the National Cremation and Burial Society, was not during the happiest time of our lives. It was after the passing of our ninety one-year-old Mom, who arranged her own Cremation many years ago. Catherine made our ordeal surprisingly pain free being the kind and compassionate person that she is. Her thirty years plus in her line of work makes her really good at her job. We would highly recommend the National Cremation and Burial Society to anyone in their time of dire need.

Jim O.

Very understanding of the grief & needing information about what to do & how to do it. Sara & the other young lady were wonderful & very kind & understanding. I purchased some of the glass products as well as the heart because I saw them displayed. There was no sales pressure from Sara or the other girl. Thanks for the wonderful service.

My father passed away rather suddenly, although not unexpected. We had done no preparation for this. I called them because they were close to where my dad had passed. Jeff could not have been nicer and any more comforting. They had someone at the nursing care facility within hours and she, Jessica was lovely. The questions that had to be asked were done with consideration and empathy. When I had to go to the office to make cremation decisions I never felt as I was 'upcharged' for anything.

I couldn't have asked for anyone better than Catherine to help me through the process and arrangements for my father in law.

Everyone was awesome!

Chris with National Cremation in Oviedo made a very difficult time so much easier! Very genuine and caring. Funeral expenses were reasonable compared to others in the area. We were so grateful for Chris's knowledge and assistance with this difficult process. Everything went smoothly and with Chis's assistance, we were able to focus on celebrating our loved one's life instead of being burdened with overwhelming details.

From beginning to end the service the National Cremation Society provided was seamless. At a time, when you do not have the desire for complications, it was a pleasurable experience and the staff was more than cordial.

James E.

My family recently had the shocking and sorrowful task of making funeral arrangements for my brother. We chose cremation. By good luck, I spoke with Randy Holland at National Cremation Service in Riverside who assisted me in the process. He was very kind, considerate, knowledgeable and a genuine pleasure to work with. Anyone who works with him should consider themselves very fortunate.

Regine W.

Los Angeles, CA

My dad passed away in September and fortunately had purchased a prepaid cremation policy through National Cremation Society. The entire process was incredibly smooth from the time of his passing through the receipt of his remains. The gentlemen that came to the house were very kind and compassionate. We met with Simone at the office and she could not have been nicer. I am thankful that my father had the foresight to purchase the policy and thankful for the wonderful service we received.

Lisa W.

West Palm Beach, FL

Gloria was wonderful. I contacted NC prior to my father's death. I had never needed to make arrangements for a loved one or anyone else before. Gloria was gentle and thorough and explained everything. She coordinated with the hospice team. I was grateful for all her help and kind words. Meeting Gloria in person only confirmed my instincts that this was where I wanted my father to be cremated. She did not rush me through the paperwork; she again was gentle but thorough. I truly appreciated her guidance.

Simone and her office handled every aspect of both my parents' cremation and remains with the utmost of care, impeccable service and follow up and compassionate follow through. From the first contracts to the final resting place- they were flawless. I cannot recommend them enough as at time such as a death presents, the only thing you want is for everything to go as smoothly as it did with their service. Thank you for not putting me through any more than I had already been through with the death of both my elderly parents.

This isn't an easy review to write nor one that I want to spend much time on given the circumstances and my feelings about it (still quite raw), but the funeral director, Randy, asked us several times to review him, so here it is.

This isn’t an easy review to write nor one that I want to spend much time on given the circumstances and my feelings about it (still quite raw), but the funeral director, Randy, asked us several times to review him, so here it is. Plus, if it helps someone else during a tough time to be able to know what the expect, it’s worth it, so I hope this review helps someone else.

My mom passed away about 2 weeks ago. We knew it was coming and wanted to make arrangements ahead of time to ease the process, so I filled out an online request form for information and the next day I received a phone call from the pre-arrangement gentleman offering to come out and meet me at a location of my choice to make the arrangements. It was a simple process, despite the load of paperwork, and he was very helpful with a good demeanor. At the end of that meeting, he gave me some cards to give hospice care so that when my mom did pass, it was one phone call to them and it would be taken care of. The cost of everything was about $1800.

The next day, I discovered that my mom had passed. I called the number on the card and they said they’d be out there within 1-2 hours for the body and that someone would call me the next morning to make the additional arrangements. I actually received a phone call later that afternoon from the funeral director, Randy, offering his condolences and inquiring as to what would be a good time for him to either call or set up an appointment the next day. We gave him a time for the next day and met him there.

Again, the process was as simple as something like that can be. We were obviously not in a good place and made some mistakes with permit information, but Randy was very patient and continued to re-do the paperwork until we got it correct. He let us know that the cremation would most likely be 5-14 days away and that the death certificates could be additional time. He would call us when it was time to pick up the ashes.

About 10 days later I received a call from Randy letting me know the remains were ready to pick up. I asked to pick them up that weekend and he said although they were closed Sat-Sun, he would be willing to meet me there Saturday morning if that worked best for me which it did. We met Sat. morning, signed the last few papers and were on our way. He also had received the death certificates by that time which was, convenient, for lack of a better word.

There’s no good reason to go somewhere like NCS. No matter what, it’s a bad situation, but I felt comfortable with the service they provided me, and given the terrible circumstances, I would most likely use their services again. I felt Randy and his staff do the best they can in these situations and it’s definitely not a job I could ever do. I was happy with the service given a terrible situation. I would recommend them if asked.

I cannot say enough about how great Daren is to work with. He was so compassionate, respectful and professional. He is in the right profession. Perfect personality for this job. He made the saddest time for me and my family a good experience. I would highly recommend Daren and the National Cremation Society to everyone.

Many thanks to Indira and Cindy as they helped me navigate the paperwork and the process following my mother's death. They were able to answer all my questions and provide guidance as necessary, all done with kindness, compassion, knowledge, and attention to detail. Thank you for your expertise!

During a difficult time, National Cremation in North Ft. Myers has been extremely helpful and flexible. Jeffrey and Joshua have been very efficient and helpful. We are grateful for their guidance in this process. We made many changes to the obituary and Jeffrey was very accommodating and helpful. My family and I are very appreciative.

National Cremation Service was excellent. They picked up my father the day after he passed away. You can call NCS at any time of day. The cremation did take a little longer than it did with my mother 4 years ago, but it made it easier to plan services because there was no rush. My parents contracted with NCS many years ago, so my out of pocket expenses were only for the death certificates. NCS had copies of the contract, and so did I. NCS encouraged me to pick up both urns (purchased at the cemetery, not NCS. I am glad I did because the cemetery no longer had the urn that my parents had purchased. Also, NCS prices for the urns are much better than the cemetery’s prices. I was fortunate to work with the same people for both my parents, even though their deaths were 3 years apart. I would use this service again and I would encourage anyone who wants to be cremated to plan ahead.

National Cremation was great to work with in dealing with my father's death. Barbara in the Sarasota office was very informative and gracious. She made the experience that was overwhelming feel comforting. I would like to thank them for everything they did for my family.

When I first called National Cremation, it seemed to be the right place to go with, considering the young lady who answered the phone and a couple of reviews. Lorraine came and spoke with us. It turns out that it was the day before my mother’s passing, and we were able to fill out the paperwork and pay. Lorraine waited while we went to the bank to get the certified check, and I thought that was cool that they came to the house. The cremation wasn’t costly and there was no hoopla. Everything went as far as perfect could go... Read More

National Cremation has been on my radar and it has been part of the last thing we needed to do prior to the diagnosis of my husband's illness. But we never got around to it until it was done at last minute. We met Karen and she was an earth angel because of her compassion, her understanding and the way she dealt with my two adult sons. As a nurse, I know that having done this many times with so many families over the decades, it takes a special person to be able to handle people in all stages wherever... Read More

As a nurse, I know that having done this many times with so many families over the decades, it takes a special person to be able to handle people in all stages wherever they are.

She’s a gem and that’s one factor that made us decide to go with them. She presented everything from soup to nuts. It was a lot of information to take in but the way she did it in sections and just made sure that we understood each part before she moved on was amazing. We’ve also heard good things about other people that have dealt with them. I highly recommend National Cremation and the Sarasota office and when I get back from out of town, we’re also gonna do the preplanning for me.

Even though my dad was 98 and we knew it could be any day, you are never really prepared when the time comes. I was lucky that arrangements had already been made with the National Cremation Society for my father and they responded immediately when called about his passing.

Meghan was very personal as well as professional in helping our family with the passing of our dear Mother. She kept in contact with me and kept me up-to-date. We finally met when my husband and I went to Sarasota to pick up my Mom's ashes. After this, I received several emails with regard to grieving and the support they give to the family. I would highly recommend National Crematory.

After the sudden passing of my wife, Caren, I contacted National Cremation. They met me at the hospital and set up an appointment with Mr. Stephen Barreto. He was very professional, knowledgeable, caring and while treating me with the utmost respect, he very patiently explained all my options. Within a very short period, all the arrangements were made and only five days later I received the urn in preparation for a Memorial Service at their location. Although we had a larger than expected turnout, Mr. Barreto went out of his way to accommodate everyone. His assistance and that of the... Read More

Words cannot describe the care we received from the moment we entered the doors. National Cremation was recommended by a very close friend who had a great experience with a loved one and is we glad we made the call. Robin Wright is the kindest sweet understanding therapist sales person we have met. She explained the entire process, even the hard to hear stuff like dad will be in storage for a few weeks was easier to handle.

My mother had set up all the arrangements with National Cremation before she passed away. We dealt with Lisa and she was very good, professional, kind and understanding. She made it quick and easy for us so there were no uncomfortable moments which I was really appreciative of. National Cremation is definitely the way to go and is a much better way of handling affairs like that.

Luci W.

I and my family were very pleased with the care of the transporting of his body from our home to their facility. When we visited them in their office, we were treated with respect by Brenden and not made to feel like we needed to buy an urn or other products. I have recommended them to our friends and other family members. Thank you.

Josh at this location was amazing. He was very understanding with the loss of my mom. He listened to my situation, catered to my needs and walked me step by step through everything that was going to happen. He even followed up each step of the way to make sure my needs were met. I would highly recommend this location for your cremation needs. Thank you, thank you, thank you for exceptional service and for really making this very tough time so much more easier to handle.

Under trying circumstances, Lori Banes was sensational. She was quite compassionate, thorough, and knowledgeable. She continued to answer questions and concerns promptly even after the cremation.

A positive experience during this most difficult time. Lorraine came to our home to explain the entire process to us. This was very helpful as we were doing home hospice for our mother. Though time was of the essence, we did not know she would pass the following day. From the arrival of the funeral home to MaryAnn at the office finalizing the paperwork, everything was seamless.

Las Colinas, TX

I called National Cremation from the hospital when my wife unexpectantly passed away. A representative met me at the hospital within an hour to get the process started. A day later I met with Stephen ** who was extremely helpful in guiding me through the cremation process. He was very professional, knowledgeable, caring, and friendly which made the task so much easier. His help and that of the staff at the Memorial Service was simply outstanding.

Gerard G.

Orlando, FL

My dad had a contract with National Cremation and when he passed away, we called them. We spoke with Mallory and she answered all our questions. She was super nice about everything, knowledgeable and put us at ease with the process. She made the whole thing a lot better than it would have been had she been not as accommodating to our questions. Nobody was prepared for a tough time such as this and she made a difference as well as the receptionist who already knew my name every time I called. It takes a special person to do the job, and it takes an extra special person to do it well and almost change the tone of the situation from something that’s horrible to something that’s tolerable. There were quite a few little details that I wanted to take care of that I came up with later and Mallory always took my calls.

After everything was said and done, and when we already had my dad’s remains, she called just to see how we were doing to see if we had any more questions which I found to be absolutely beyond my expectations. National Cremation provided top-notch service. I have no complaints and only compliments to them. We were very happy with the service and the help. It was an excellent experience.

We had used National Cremation when my grandmother passed away and also with my father quite a few years ago. We had known about their services and what they had to offer before. We've taken advantage of their pre-planning services and we didn't have to struggle with what we were going to have to do when my mother passed recently. Things were taken care of pretty much in one phone call. The cremation team members were all very professional and very sensitive to what we were going through.

Karen Taylor is one of the most compassionate and professional people I have ever had to deal with during the darkest time of my life when my beloved husband passed. She was a miracle worker in getting the whole process done in less than a week so that we could have his cremains at his funeral mass. She is an earth angel and I am grateful she was there for me and my family. Thank you, Karen and National Cremation. Linda S Sarasota, Fl

Honestly the best place, Maryann the funeral director is passionate and loving and attentive to each families needs, she gets the job done in the hard times. She is always keeping in touch with the families to make sure everything is going as smoothly as possible and to take the burden off the family members so they can concentrate on what's important their loved ones. This by far hands down is a GREAT!! the place to come :-)

National Cremation & Burial Society had the most compassionate people ever. They were top notch and they were wonderful. I heard about them when I went to a funeral. A friend's son passed away from a motorcycle accident and his passing made me think that I don't have my cremation stuff ready. I don't want my son to deal with any of that stuff. So we had a woman come and chat with me and my mom about the end times and how you could pay ahead. We did the paperwork, made the phone call, and then National Cremation took... Read More

A friend’s son passed away from a motorcycle accident and his passing made me think that I don’t have my cremation stuff ready. I don’t want my son to deal with any of that stuff. So we had a woman come and chat with me and my mom about the end times and how you could pay ahead. We did the paperwork, made the phone call, and then National Cremation took care of it all.

When my mom passed away at a facility, a gentleman showed up within minutes and they whisked me out of the room because some hospice was there. Still, they were very careful not to make me feel like something weird was happening. I was still in shock of my mom passing right in front of me and they have the empathy and ability to show care and concern. It wasn’t made up or condescending. They have the most wonderful people ever, and the person who took care of me was so compassionate while I was having a meltdown. Her name was Barbara and she did the paperwork while I was bursting into tears.

During that time, she didn’t make me feel like I’m stupid or what. In fact, I felt that my mom went out with dignity with what she did. National made the transition for me easy. They even have something that they do, like the twelve stages of grieving, which was very helpful for me, that I wasn’t expecting. In closing, it’s been a big pleasure working with National. I would tell anybody who is thinking whether they’re gonna be buried or cremated about them.

Our family was very pleased with the service and product and care that was given to our love one Brittany. Maryann and the staff were caring, always there to answer any questions, helpful of with products we wanted to purchase. We chose Thomas Kinkade for mass care and thank you cards. They were beautiful. The guest book also had pictures, poems, and psalms. We thank you for your time, caring and the beautiful products. The Urns with the doves and all the jewelry. Beautiful keepsakes that keep our beautiful girl close to us.

Our family is so grateful that my father had the foresight to get a policy from the National Cremation Society for himself and my mother when they lived in Florida. When my father passed 10 years ago my mother was able to handle the burial arrangements without a hitch. When my mother passed recently she was in a nursing home in Michigan. Even though the policy had been originally purchased in Florida we were able to navigate the extra steps involved in the burial process with the help of Maryann McConnell at the National Cremation Society’s office in Bloomfield Hills, MI. Maryanne was a marvel, guiding us through the process in a caring, responsive and professional manner. She answered all our questions immediately, even updating us on her days off. We cannot thank her enough for the kindness she showed us during a stressful time. I would highly recommend The National Cremation Society as a smart investment for anyone looking to plan ahead and ensure peace of mind.

Donald A.

We lost my mom August 25, 2018. I can't thank Mary Ann enough for her compassion and professionalism through the difficult time. My mom had the foresight years ago to set up her own cremation with National Cremation Society so we would not have to make rash decisions upon her death. She said " It will be easy, just call them with my contract number and they will take care of me." As in life, she was right in death. Thank you for your ultimate care with my mom. She had a beautiful soul and will be forever missed.

A family friend recently used National Cremation & Burial Society for their mom and dad and they said they were very happy with them. We went right there after my mother passed away and Jeffrey, their rep, was very nice. He walked my sister and me all through it, and he was not pushy with any of the sales. We were very happy with everything.

Beth C.

I was looking for something for my mother and Jim, National Cremation & Burial Society's agent, gave me the information. I knew him and I trusted him. National Cremation had good reviews, I liked how long they have been doing business and their preplanned services are well organized. When my mom passed away, National Cremation did everything. I had the card. I called in and then in a matter of an hour and a half, they were at the hospice and then they took my mom. It was well done.

Marcelo P.

Miami, FL

My mom had prearranged her information with National Cremation & Burial Society. We had hospice services and my mom was staying with us at the time of her passing. I called National Cremation and I just wanted to check to make sure everything was in line and I knew what I was supposed to do. Then, when my mom passed, I called hospice and a nurse came who took over and did everything. She called National Cremation, and then the folks arrived about an hour later and took my mom’s body. Then the next day, I went into National Cremation’s office here locally and it was great. It was about a half an hour meeting with them. The lady came out and she said, “Here’s the deal. Everything’s paid for.” She knew exactly what the package involved. Also, she was awesome with her direction and getting everything we needed, and letting us know as far as the death certificates and how many death certificates.

Cindy W.

Seattle, WA

We used National Cremation for Dad's remains. They did a great job so we came back for Mom. They answered the phone in the middle of the night and picked up Mom's remains within a couple hours. Next day Ronny respectfully explained all the options, filed for death certificates and provided a competitive price. I thought I was prepared for this moment; I wasn't. How nice it is to have a loving professional like Ronny to help with such details. Thanks, Ronny!

The funeral director in the Ruskin location goes above what her job description reads in my opinion. She is just the individual I wanted to entrust my Dad too when his soul left his body on this earth. It's such a horrible day, to begin with, to make that call but she made the process as easy as possible and kept me informed at each step.

Although my husband and I had made arrangements for cremation a number of years ago, it was difficult when the time came to follow through on those arrangements for my husband of 76 years. At the National Cremation location in Ruskin, Florida, I and one of my daughters met with Indira ** who was not only efficient and knowledgeable but also concerned and very caring. Indira personally delivered the ashes to our church and met with me in my home. I am truly grateful.

After answering a lot of our immediate questions, we scheduled an appointment for the next day. It takes a special person to put you at ease at a moment as difficult as your father’s passing. Mallory did just that. My sister, my cousin and I had the whole process explained in detail and every one of our questions was answered with patience, compassion and a clear understanding of the pain we were going through. We could not have chosen a better person to help us get through what we thought was going to be a horrible process. With Mallory’s help, we understood exactly what was going to happen, who was going to be involved and when it was going to take place. With a job like Mallory’s you have to have a vocation and a deep love for what you do, and she certainly does. I also have to say that I was deeply touched by the fact that every time I called, Miranda at the front desk would greet me by name. That was a special and personal touch that I appreciated very much. You guys did a wonderful, special job that we will always appreciate and remember. You were all there for us when we needed it the most. Thank you so, so much. Scott, Michelle, and Jackie

Jeffrey Testerman is second to none in his field! Caring, compassionate, and kind are words that come to mind when thinking of his helping our family. I have formerly dealt with funeral directors and was surprised that Mr. Testerman did not push extra items to be sold for my husband’s burial. He merely pointed them out and left the decisions entirely to our family. Up north, I remember my husband’s mother’s dress was at a cost of $400! Her children were in a very difficult stage of grieving and agreed to everything the funeral director had put in front of them. I admired his courteous and pleasant mannerism throughout my dealings with him.
I was also impressed with the way National Cremation handled my husband’s exiting from the ER room. They did NOT slide him in a body bag! They covered him with a soft blue blanket and draped an American flag on top of his body. Workers in the ER who were not busy lined up and some ex-military saluted him. What a dignified way for a Korean War Veteran to exit the ER!!! Some of my friends’ husbands who were there with me were amazed at this gesture. They had also signed up with other cremation businesses and asked their wives if they also had the same procedure in place. They were not sure that gesture was in place.
Since my husband’s demise, I have been in contact with Mr. Testerman and he has always gotten back to me and answered any questions that I had. I did order additional prayer cards and they were delivered before I left for NJ. Mr. Testerman assured me of a smooth operation and he did comply in all aspects of the funeral directive. I would highly recommend Mr. Testerman and National Cremation for their caring and kindness. Having signed up ahead of time, I feel that I made this a little easier for me and my family at a time when things could have been really difficult.

I am so glad we pre-planned our cremation with this company. The payment plan was convenient and no pressure sales representative. My husband passed in June 2018 and I didn't have the worries and stress about what to do next. It was so nice to have it all taken care of at a time of stress.

Burnece S.

I was referred by one of our parishioners. Her husband received their services and was pleased. My wife had dementia and was in an adult foster care home. Right from the beginning, Mary told all that involved and I was grateful. The time came about a week ago and everything proceeded the way she had explained. The process was smooth, caring and enough time spent to know that she really cared. I highly recommend if her services are in need and you won't be disappointed. Thanks, May God Bless you. You get 10 out of 10 Nathan

My parents bought pre-paid National Cremation Services. Upon Dad's passing, Steven was kind and helpful to Mom. He was not pushy about asking Mom to buy services not covered by her contract. One possible improvement would be for Steven to have looked up the contract before we arrived.

Jill M.

After deciding on cremation, I attended an information session with a knowledgeable representative who answered all my questions and was able to offer a prepaid plan that is good anywhere. The cost seemed reasonable. After signing up I very quickly received my member card and memento box and urn. I appreciate the preplanning guide that was included. My daughters were informed, and I contacted my church to put things in place there, also. I'm glad that this decision was able to be made ahead of time, and that things are in place when they'll be needed. Thank you.

My mother signed up with National Cremation & Burial Society about 30 years ago. It was awesome because it saved us all kinds of money. It was predetermined, so we knew exactly what to do during a really difficult time. I couldn’t be happier with it. The people there were all extremely professional and compassionate. They were very easy to deal with.

Nadina P.

The team at National Cremation was wonderful. They did so much and explained everything. When I got there, the girl just told us what we have and there was no extra money except for the urn. She called and did what she needed to do. It was so smooth.

I had the best experience with NCS after my mom passed away. It took only a few steps to get all arrangements done and in a prompt matter.

The National Cremation team was wonderful. They took care of everything. I was less than a broken person and Gloria took care of me. She was patient, kind and she was not pushy. She did not try to sell me anything I didn't want or couldn’t afford. She let me change my mind. Gloria took care of contacting social security. She reminded me of everything I needed to do such as following up on my husband’s benefits and the other pensions that he got.

National Cremation is right next to a barbershop where I used to take my brother and it's up the street from me. I’m not even two minutes away from it and so I went in even without doing any research. The service was superb and I've had wonderful interactions with the National Cremation team. They all helped me with all the paperwork, even some extra paperwork that I got in. Since I’m down the street, Justin came to my house. So they went above and beyond the regular service.

My mom chose National Cremation and did the pre-planning services. I wouldn’t have known what to do, so she had it all planned. The National Cremation team was very good and informative, and everything was already done. They made it a good experience and I was comfortable.

My assigned representative, Carrie **, was a warm and caring person who allowed me to say farewell to my sister with respect and dignity. She is truly thoughtful and empathetic - you are fortunate to have her as a part of your organization.

Her presentation was excellent. She tastefully covered all of the aspects of cremation and death. When I requested a meeting with my husband, she scheduled it for the same day. We now have the peace of mind that everything will be taken care of when one of us passes away. She represented your company well.

We dealt with the North Palm Beach chapter of the National Cremation Society and found both their director, Lori Barnes, and staff to be both compassionate and efficient. This was the second time I have had to deal with the Society and been extremely pleased with my experiences during trying times.

Upon the unexpected fall and difficult to witness, suffering the death of my Mother, which took place in the 2 weeks following Christmas of 2017, I was grateful to be comforted by the kind and gentle staff who work with Jeffrey Dellatto at National Cremation Society of North Fort Myers.
My Mother had purchased her Cremation plan many years prior and I had been instructed by her to call the number on their card, given her, when the time came, long years prior. What I didn’t know was how simple it would be and just how much work they would be doing for me as it was months before her urn would be transported to Arlington National Cemetery where she would finally rest next to my Daddy, her Husband of 44 years.
If I could give them 10 stars, Jeffrey Dellatto and his staff earned them. We were treated as if family. My daughter and other family members are forever grateful to you at National Cremation Society of North Fort Myers, et al.

Lori was such a nice and compassionate person to speak and work with after the passing of my Dad. She helped make his Memorial Service a day that won't be forgotten. I would recommend working with her and the National Cremation Society during such a sad and stressful time. Thanks again, Lori!

My parents had arranged for their cremation services ahead of time, which made things much easier for me. My dad died in July of 2017 and mom in Aug of 2018, both cremations were managed by Darin who made everything easy for me. I would recommend Darin and the National Cremation Society to anyone who wants to set up the services ahead of time or are hit with an unexpected death in the family. The folks are warm and caring and really keep up to date on what's happening in the process.

The experience I had upon the very unexpected event of my father's death was difficult on many levels. I was so uninformed and unsure of myself in handling such affairs. Thank God I was given Michael’s name. I never looked back. I was guided gently and sensitively through the whole of the next few days. Irina made the connections easier with her extra care and perseverance on the weekend hours. There are actually too many moments to put here but all together they equal kindness and memories I will always have. The night of the memorial service. Micheal greeted my... Read More

There are actually too many moments to put here but all together they equal kindness and memories I will always have. The night of the memorial service. Micheal greeted my mother who has dementia and myself at the door, He was soft-spoken with a warm welcome. My mother was put at ease saying loudly “I like that man”. We were off to a good start for the rest of the night. One Thank you is not enough Norwegians say, as I want to now, “Many thousand thanks“.

I can’t say enough about the amazing experience I had dealing with my moms passing and her cremation and it’s all because of Patrick **. From the first phone conversation to emails to texts he was available, patient and so compassionate- during such a heartbreaking time, he seemed to make everything easier. This is the reason without blinking I turned to him to take care of my prepaid cremation as will my sister and anyone who slows down enough to listen to me sing his praises.

My husband and I decided to attend a seminar given by Sheila **. She was very informative. We signed up, received our boxes and cards. The experience was painless. I would definitely recommend to a friend. In fact, I have!

My parents signed up with National Cremation & Burial Society when they moved to Fort Myers area 36 years ago. I was continuously updating my mother’s address as she moved on a campus of a healthcare facility. My mother passed away on May 31st. I’m in Minneapolis, Minnesota and they're down in Fort Myers, so it was a lot of logistics and emails. The reps were always helpful especially Jeffrey.

Mike C.

When my father passed away unexpectedly, we used National Cremation. Then based on the positive experience we had dealing with them, we got to them a second time to prearrange for my mother. We worked with their Destin office and they were outstanding. Our rep was Michael and I contacted his supervisor to let him know what a great job Michael did in both cases. We liked that it was a one-stop shopping. We took care of my father’s immediate needs then we took care of my mother’s preplanning, so it was a seamless transition from family emergency support and... Read More

We liked that it was a one-stop shopping. We took care of my father’s immediate needs then we took care of my mother’s preplanning, so it was a seamless transition from family emergency support and preplanning for other family members. Also, I really appreciated the lack of pressure or upselling. And their service far outweighs its cost. It was very personable and handled in a respectful manner. The additional assistance with Social Security and Veterans’ Affairs Coordination was very helpful as well.

My father passed away but prepaid for his funeral with National Cremation Society. When we went in to speak to Joshua Shook we didn't know what to expect and he was very calming and gave us great service during a difficult time.

Ms. Kallevig was such a pleasant surprise because she made the whole process so simple and pleasant. I didn't know what to expect, but Ms. K. far exceeded anything I could have imagined.

I am going to make preparations with Ms. K. for my own cremation in the near future. Thank you for such excellence!

I looked at a few service providers and I thought National Cremation had the best price. Also, they seemed to take care of a lot of things and I was impressed by what they had to offer. Justin was our funeral director and he did an excellent job. My husband signed up first because he was older and he passed away last month. I liked the way the service was handled and I decided to sign up myself. I also recommended a couple neighbors of mine who signed up.

I required services according to a contract for my wife who passed away on 7/9/18. Tanya ** assisted me in finalizing the last details of the execution of the contract and was extremely helpful & non-aggressive in all the help I received. Five days later, I required service for my son who passed away on 7/13/18. Tanya ** initiated all the necessary steps needed to conclude the cremation & burial for an unexpected need for services. In both instances there was no aggressiveness used nor was anything but the kindest consideration for my needs displayed by your office in Hudson,... Read More

We liked the individual that gave the presentation about National Cremation at a seminar here in Venice. The interaction I had with their team was terrific. Every time they called us, they were very informational. They were very nice and tried their best to ease our pain. When our son died, we’ve already preplanned here in Venice but he was not here in Venice. He lived up in Pinellas County, and the folks at National Cremation couldn’t help us down here so they put us in touch with the individual that takes care of Pinellas County. We appreciated that they... Read More

I was referred to National Cremation and I liked the whole approach of the information I was delivered. I felt very comfortable. Their rep, Justin, did an outstanding job in presenting the information. I’m from California, so I also did a sector of the Scatter at Sea and that was wonderful. It was a little rocky at first but then when I met the gentleman in person, he was wonderful. I would highly recommend National Cremation. I’m gonna use the company for myself as well

Kisha K.

Justin Davis with National Cremation Services was awesome, he did an outstanding job working with my family and me during a very difficult time with the passing of my father, he made the services seem seamless and easy they took care of everything. I'm so thankful and grateful to Justin and his team for all the hard work they did on behalf of my family. Thank you all so much for BLESSING ME AND MY FAMILY.

My wife and I signed up in 2013 and soon thereafter were able to recommend a friend to use NCS. We were impressed with the service. And they had thought of everything that we needed so that we were in and out in good time. My wife died recently and again I was impressed with the organization and efficiency of how they handled all of the details. Thank you National Cremation Society.

When a parent puts his child to rest, there is no consolation. Millie and the entire team at National Cremation were the most professional and compassionate people I could have ever dreamed of. From the time I walked in the front door to the day I said goodbye, I was received and treated with sincere compassion. I will never forget these wonderful people and what they did for me to make a very difficult time a little easier on me. God bless each and every one of you with a special blessing to Millie. Thank all of you.

Ms. ** handled all aspects of needed services including setting up military honors at the National Cremation. There were opportunities for additional items (urns, pendants, etc) but there was no pressure to buy which was greatly appreciated. I called several times with questions to which I got prompt responses. I was extremely pleased with the handling of this pre-paid service

Our mom, Maureen Bashaw was well taken cared of by National Cremation. Jeffrey T. was wonderful. From start to finish, he took the time to explain everything to me. While I was not in the best condition following my mom's death (vertigo), he was very caring and concerned. I will refer all my friends and family to see him. Thanks so much!

When our mother passed away in Cape Coral no family member was living in Florida. I and a brother live in Minnesota, another in California. Mom had a contract with National Cremation that I had updated over the years but it was going to be a long distance management of her arrangements. Fortunately, Jeffery Testerman answered my call. Jeffery was professional, competent, patient and courteous as he guided me through the process, requirements, and completion of forms I had never seen. Jeffery arranged to hold the remains until we could coordinate travel and schedule the memorial service. It was a pleasure to finally meet him in person, fill out more forms he had ready for us when we stopped by the office and be able to thank him personally for the essential and long distance service provided to me and our family. Throughout this experience, we were in very good hands with Jeffery Testerman

I lost my husband on 7/24/18, I went to a National and was taken care of by Gloria Yanni. I can only say she helped me like I was the broken person I was. My husband’s services were absolutely beautiful. If I had to do this, then I need to thank Gloria for making it as easy as possible.

I can't begin to express the kindness and understanding given to me by Karen Taylor at the National Cremation Society of Sarasota.

Carl ** was very nice to work with, He came once and we asked him to come back another day as we wanted to talk about cost and process. Carl came back a week later and we closed the deal. The real test will be when there is a death and one of us will see if the plan lives up to its claims. We liked the price and payment plan. We are dealing with funeral arrangement now with a family member and we don't want our survivors to have to deal with the cost and hassle.

My mother did a setup with National Cremation and she did like the way that she could set up her final wishes ahead of time and make the process a little bit easier for me. I’m very appreciative of their services and it really helped our family. Everybody in Largo, on East Bay, was extremely wonderful and compassionate during that really horrible time. Dina was our main guide and she was extremely professional but very compassionate, and the front desk person was wonderful when calling to schedule claim and some things like that during a very bad day.

From the moment we arrived, Ron made us feel very warm and welcomed. He was not at all being a salesman, who is very soft-spoken and very nice. He made my dad look so so good. When I saw him he was on a bed covered with a big blanket, and a soft pillow under his head. The way Ron made him look – is so awesome, he just looked exactly like himself, and he had a little smile that I guess Ron must’ve put on him. He just looked happily sleeping, and very peaceful. The service was very nice and very intimate, and just close family. We did not feel any bit rushed out of there, even though there probably was a time limit. The whole experience went very nicely. We got the death certificates, and the urns very quickly. I would highly recommend this place. It was a great experience. I did not think with a cremation there ever could even have a viewing of your loved one. It felt very nice to see my dad look so good one more time. Ron did an excellent job!

Sharon P.

Houston, TX

Very Nice and caring experience after the passing of our Mother. Ron was so caring and kind to me and my brother who flew in from California. He and the team partners from office receptionist to guy who helped out at mom's funeral and loaded her coffin to the hearse did an over the top A+ Job. So Kind and very respectful! I would recommend them to anyone in need of this service.

Diana M.

Deer Park, TX

Initially, I came just to try out the restaurant and get the free meal. I had absolutely no intention of getting a cremation. After listening to the Representative and a few of the stories people in the audience were stating I realized that my brother who has a fairly high income might just get duped by some conman after I died because he would be in an emotional state of mind. I then knew that I had to take care of this myself to save my family from getting conned by some shyster.

David S.

The respect & dignity that was used talking about a delicate subject was wonderful. Also no pressure. It was all about what we wanted. M ** listened & answered our questions. Thank you for the thoughtful kind way this was handled.

Renee P.

There is nothing negative for me to report. We visited a seminar to discuss our final arrangements and I decided, to proceed with the plan for cremation at the time of my passing.

The quality of service provided to our family from your company and your employee, Mr. Michael Weakland are to be commended.

My mother made the after death arrangements many years before her recent passing. National Cremation Service picked up the body, performed the cremation and made the arrangements to have the body delivered to the cemetery in New York State. National Cremation also arranged for the obituaries to be placed as I had requested. Indira Lugo oversaw all of these arrangements and kept me informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend National Cremation and especially Indira for both the early planning and the not so pleasant task of putting a loved one to rest.

Tom F.

I would personally like to thank Brendan Barry for his professionalism and compassion during a very difficult time. My parents purchased their cremation "package" several decades ago and I was somewhat expecting to be waved off when my mother passed because of the pre-payment at the much lesser rates. That did not happen! I was treated with concern, respect, and professionalism. My concerns and needs were addressed and I was made to feel that my business was just as appreciated as any current client. If I ever had doubts about cremation, I now believe that this is worth considering and... Read More

My family recently worked with Pauline Grossnickle at the Port Charlotte facility. I was impressed with her expertise and compassion and given a short time frame to make arrangements, with her willingness to arrange her schedule to meet our needs. The entire staff was professional and kind. Everything happened exactly as Pauline had indicated it would, and I would recommend this office to anybody looking for cremation services for self or loved ones.

My dad passed in 2001 and my mom and I elected to call National Cremation to handle his cremation. Within weeks mom prearranged her cremation. Nobody gets out alive, as they say, and in June we had to call National to take care of her needs. The wife and I will be making our arrangements soon and will be calling on National to help make those decisions. Thanks to Brendan for making us comfortable when signing the papers for my mother's cremation and all the associated paperwork in dealing with the Bay Pines National Cemetery and the S.S. etc.

Chasity L.

My fathers passing was very unexpected as we were not prepared with arrangements and I was totally lost as to what to do. However, Korrey was extremely sympathetic and compassionate and helpful. She made herself available to me and call me back right away whenever I had any needs. This was my first experience with your company and I can say I will recommend you to others and keep you in mind in the future.

Nicole R

Lori Barnes was my first contact person, She was professional, personal, and made me feel I was in good hands for the preparation and resolve of my sister's passing. All the staff was very comforting and I felt they had my best interest for my loved one in mind through every stage. The best thing they held my hand from beginning to the end. I appreciated everything that was done for the cremation of my sister.

James K.

The husband of a good friend of mine passed away a couple of years ago and she used National Cremation. My husband and I went and picked up the ashes for her. We both agreed that it was a very professional place and that we would like to use them again when we needed them. Then I did and Wendy is in the office and she’s been great. There was also a young man who was so wonderful and helpful, and really took the time to sit with me and talk with me. He listened to me and my son, so I really appreciated that. They’ve been very sympathetic and understanding. Obviously, it was a very rough time so the nicer you are to people, the better the experience. Now, I am also planning on doing the preplanning services in the near future. National Cremation is the way to go and I would highly recommend them.

Dianne H.

St. Petersburg, FL

I was given a list by a hospice and National Cremation & Burial Society was in the middle of the list. I just went down the list and picked them. They were the first one that called and they were nice. They were very considerate for what I was going through. A young lady, the funeral director, took care of everything for me and did a good job. I was pleased. She gave me the paperwork for the preplanning services but I gotta pay off my bills first. National Cremation is very good and they know their business. I’d recommend... Read More

Lori Banes from National Cremation Society is absolutely amazing! At a time when I was trying really hard to hold it together, she was with me through the entire journey. From the first call about my father passing to set up his burial I knew I had I was in good hands and so was my father. I can't thank her enough for all of the work she has done to help me. A true asset!!

Kimberly G.

I was treated with so much kindness and compassion by the people at National Cremation Society that the grief and discomfort of the death of my father were softened.

When my brother passed away, the Arrowhead Hospital gave us a list of cremation centers where we can take the body. We called somebody that we always deal with and I knew it was going to be very high. A National Cremation location is in between my sister’s house and my house, and they gave us a very good quote. They were also very cooperative from the very beginning. They gave us all the information in the middle of the night and they got us in when we went to see them. I was very comfortable working with them and... Read More

I was very comfortable working with them and they didn’t try and push things on us. They understood what we were going through. Their rep asked us about everything else we needed and she emailed all the stuff. But we knew we were not going to have a service for him and we just had him cremated. And since I just buried my mom two years prior to that, I was already accustomed to what we were going to be going through but they were very, very helpful. I was happy we dealt with them.

The National Cremation team is speedy. I'm very comfortable talking with them and we had fantastic interactions. It was a pleasant experience and I didn’t have to worry about anything. It was taken care of and I was completely satisfied.

My father just passed and Drew at the Hudson office was amazing! Wendy and Becca were very warming anytime I called in to pester Drew. Drew did everything for me form getting his service site changed to helping with understanding all the long words and wording we could not understand. I would 100% recommend National Cremation Society for anyone's unfortunate needs. Rachel M.

The people at National Cremation were very professional and friendly. It is one of the hard times when someone passes, but they were very helpful. If they needed anything additional, they contacted us. They let us know everything we needed up front. It was very smooth and professional. I appreciate their help and there were no hiccups. It was very nice to deal with a company like this. I learned about them from a friend who had an experience with them.

Joe ** is a tremendous asset to National Cremation. As a former entrepreneur/business owner, Joe brings a host of professional skills to the table that inures to the benefit of your organization and its clients. Joe exemplifies "The Golden Rule" in action in the business setting. Without wasted motion or time, Joe expertly helped my wife and I acquired our Cremation Certificates.

Very much satisfied with the National Cremation Society Program. Just what we wanted and needed at a most affordable price. Our salesperson is very knowledgeable and professional in conducting business with company clientele. Highly recommended to those in need.

The agent (Ron **) was most professional, helpful, understanding, and most thorough in securing my contract. I greatly appreciated the "non-over-aggressive sales approach", but rather a sincere-concerning future planning approach. All was completed in a most timely and accurate manner with written confirmations.

Duane T.

It is such a comfort to have this part of our estate planning done. It is a relief for our children do not have to think about this when the time comes that it is needed. Your sales representative was polite and respectful in all ways. There was no pressure to purchase although it was made clear that doing at the time of his presentation was desirable.

Your representative Renae ** was very patient, explained things well and allowed us to ask questions. We were pleased with the quick way we received the urns. Thank you very much for providing a convenient solution for this need.

When dealing with a family member's death, the last thing you want to deal with is difficult decisions. However, the National Cremation Society was extremely kind, helpful, calm and compassionate. Dena was professional and wonderful and helped guide me through the process. I would highly suggest using their services. It is a kindness to your family members to leave them in the very capable hands of the NCS.

You never think your older brother is going to pass away suddenly to aggressive lung-cancer but that's exactly what happened. I reached out to Josh at National Cremation Services and he made everything happen quickly and as painlessly as possible. I will never forget how kind, compassionate he was. Thank you, Josh.

From start to finish, our experience was the first rate. It was such a comfort to know that everything was taken care of in a dignified and compassionate manner. I plan to have my own funeral arrangements handled through National Cremation Society.

Patricia P.

Many years ago as the guardian for my brother, one of the court-appointed tasks was to make the final arrangements for my brother. This was initially done in 2003 through the National Cremation and Burial Society of Florida. Fast forward 15 years later we had to follow through on these arrangements. We had to contact the funeral home on a Sunday. We got the most wonderful director name Barbara that followed and directed us through the full process. The remainder of the family is from South Carolina and had to travel to Florida to make the rest of the arrangements. Barbara went over and above to help us in every way to get the service planned and arranged. We held the service at the Bee Ridge facility and everyone was spot on. David was most kind to arrange a large number of artistic renderings and memory boards for us. Michael (location manager) stuck right with us when I locked keys in the rental vehicle, all the way making sure we were being taken care of by AAA. The facility is clean, calming and well cared for. My entire family and dear friends of my brother are most grateful for the services provided. Thank you, Barbara, Michael, and David for all that you did for us.

Friends of ours worked with National Cremation & Burial Society and we've been a member for probably eight years now. I was very satisfied with them because the first time that I talked to them, I went ahead and joined them. And then a year later, my husband did as well. They were very helpful and very considerate and they answered a lot of questions.

When my mother passed away on April 12, I liked that National Cremation & Burial Society was extremely professional and very considerate. My parents had made the arrangements with them and my dad is also ultimately going to utilize them as well. Since my dad was obviously in rough shape when my mom passed away, my brother, Mike, and I took over and took care of the arrangements, most of which had already been set up by my parents. What I really appreciated as well as that, when they were going through the different list of products and services that they offered with my brother and me, they were informative without being pushy. It was very important to us that we didn’t feel like we were being given a sales pitch at that time, with what we were going through, and it was refreshing and satisfying to not feel in any way pressured.

Stephen C.

Sarasota, FL

My parents were members of National Cremation and had already gone through the pre-planning. Their team was very smooth and easy to deal with and I just picked up the ashes. During the time when I had other things needed to take care of and was grieving, it was nice that all the details were taken care of and I didn’t really have to do a lot.

My husband and I were visiting Florida and we saw a National Cremation ad in a newspaper. We've talked about cremation so I made an appointment. We loved the presentation and signed up for it. It was everything we were looking for. I liked the opportunity to make payments with their pre-plan services. Sometime after my husband and I joined and started making our payments, we were staying at our son's home for a vacation and my daughter-in-law's grandmother and step-grandfather were there and I told them about National Cremation and they also became members.

My husband and I were visiting Florida and we saw a National Cremation ad in a newspaper. We’ve talked about cremation so I made an appointment. We loved the presentation and signed up for it. It was everything we were looking for. I liked the opportunity to make payments with their pre-plan services. Sometime after my husband and I joined and started making our payments, we were staying at our son’s home for a vacation and my daughter-in-law’s grandmother and step-grandfather were there and I told them about National Cremation and they also became members. In 2017, my daughter-in-law’s grandmother passed away and she was picked up by somebody from the National Cremation.

Then on the 19th of April, I was with my daughter-in-law’s step-grandfather when he passed away at my son’s home and the National Cremation was called and from the moment their two young representatives arrived in minutes after they left, I couldn’t have been more pleased and more proud of the way he was treated. They made the bed after they put him on their gurney, so when we walked back into the bedroom, it wasn’t visualized where he died. The way those two young men came and presented themselves, their dress and their personality were wonderful. And I have told numerous people just how wonderful the whole thing was.

The National Cremation rep came to our house and she was tremendous. Her name was Tanya and she was very professional and she kept communicating with us throughout the whole process. It was our first time doing it and we didn't know how long it was gonna take. She got back to us very promptly and she was very, very diligent. I do the National Cremation pre-planning services online. It's nice that the plan is all taken care of, all paid for, and there's nothing to worry about. It's easy for the family to deal with. They were excellent.

Barb H.

Amazing service, had service done for my grandmother and it was one of the best experiences I've had, dealing with this kind of situation. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a kind/helpful staff to help with your loss. They took special time and care to deal with my families needs.

Daren Dreiling and his staff at National Cremation Society of Henderson, NV were just wonderful in helping us. We had to travel across the country and make arrangements for my aunt & had limited time to take care of everything. These folks went above and beyond to expedite the process and to help us get arrangements made as easily and quickly as possible. They were also great about explaining the steps, the legal requirements, etc. and made time to return calls and answer all of our questions. I HIGHLY recommend them!

Rebecca M.

The folks at the National Cremations Society were kind, helpful and above all- so very sweet to our family- when my Dad passed unexpectedly. Lori answered all of our questions, took care of the necessary arrangements and followed through on all things she had committed to providing. During such a sad time full of turmoil and tons of things to take care of, Lori was so compassionate and made a difficult time more bearable due to her fantastic service.

Cindi M.

My husband was killed in a horrible automobile accident, but I knew his wishes and received kind and considerate attention from National Cremation. Michelle gave us her complete attention and walked us through each step of the process. She ordered the death certificates and took care of as much as she could for me. All of this was done with compassion and concern for me and my children. I would gladly recommend your service to anyone.

Our entire family is grateful to National Cremation and Burial Society in North Ft. Myers and especially to Joshua Shook. Last year, Joshua's kindness helped so much in the details of our father's death (John R. Fritz). He not only walked us gently through the cremation process, but he worked with the National Veterans' Cemetery in Sarasota to provide a touching and solemn military service for Dad's internment.

Losing a loved one is the hardest experience to go through. Drew and the staff at National Crematorium were caring, calm and great listeners. If you have to suffer a loss the last thing you want is pushy people trying to tell you what to do. This is not the way Drew and the staff are. I can't say enough about the service we received. Thank you, Drew and NCS for helping to ease the pain.

My wife died suddenly 3 years ago after a surgery. My son in law found National Cremation Society after first calling 2 other places that made him feel like he was dealing with a used car salesman. National Cremation Society was the first rate in every way. Last January my late wife's 101-year-old mother died and I did not think twice. I called National Cremation Society. No pressure, no pushy sales tactics. Just respectful and honest treatment. They take very good care of the client in the worst time of his life. Thank you, National Cremation Society

All the staff at National cremation were kind, compassionate and helpful. Able to answer all my questions during a difficult time and even able to assist with the purchase of prepaid cremation for the spouse. Dena handled all needs and followed up with every detail.

The service and support that our family received from Barbara Kallevig and the staff at National Cremation Society were outstanding. At an obviously difficult time, it really helped to be treated with dignity and respect and at the same time with efficiency and professionalism. I particularly liked how we were informed of the many products and services offered but in a way that was not aggressive or persistent; instead, it was informative and helpful. Overall the entire process was handled in an excellent manner and the entire experience was pleasant and productive.

National Cremation made the whole process seamless. I am so grateful that my father purchased a pre-paid policy. It took only one phone call to NCS when he passed.

I have had the need to use National Cremation three times in the last 5 years. My mom, my son, and recently, my dad. They were all cremated and as devastated as you are with facing the death of a loved one, they are there to comfort and assist with any issues that may arise. Each time they went through each step and verified all the information. Tanya was the last person I worked with and she was professional in every way with a kind and reassuring way. I would highly recommend National Cremation to anyone! Thank you for everything!

Friends of ours had signed up for the National Cremation services years ago and we signed up in 2010. It made sense because we like to travel and didn't want to cause people trouble. Signing up with National Cremation is a very thoughtful thing to do for my family and friends. There weren't very many cremation service providers and one didn't hear very much about cremation a decade ago.

Nevertheless, National Cremation was a good system, it was a fair price and it’s got everything planned out.

It took one phone call to pre-plan my cremation. It was a surprise but at least I knew the immediate issues were gonna get taken care of and would be done well. The first call was a little awkward because I had to call the Florida office and we were in Colorado, so I woke somebody up. But National Cremation got in touch with people here in Colorado and I only dealt with one person the entire time. He was really great and he was a fully trained mortician. And it wasn’t just the matter of taking care of the after services because he knew everything that went on and how to explain things. He was very empathetic but not sickeningly so and he was really nice. I recommend National Cremation all the time.

We heard about National Cremation & Burial Society from a neighbor across the street and they were highly recommended. When my daughter went there and spoke with Lorrie, she was very pleased with the facility and what Lorrie told her. I have dealt with Lorrie on the phone and through email but my daughter who did all the legwork is very particular and she had nothing but good things to say about her.

One of our friends had used National Cremation before and when I went to a seminar with Luncheon a couple of years ago and signed up for the National Cremation. Then I talked to my brother to sign up for it too. The man that sold the plan to me was very nice and he explained everything. Then when I went for my brother, Indira, the rep, was compassionate. She followed through and checked. Most of us had everything paid off. When I went in to talk to Indira, she had everything there so it was easy to take care of. I told her that my brother was a veteran and that here in Sun City, we have urns for veterans that are made here. I asked her if I could bring that urn in, instead of the one that the package came with and that was no problem. She was very helpful and nice and I would recommend National Cremation.

After my dad’s health was down, my father and mother looked into cremation, and they went to one of National Cremation's seminars.

It was night time when he came to the hospital ‘cause we were busy. And he was very professional and helpful. Once my dad passed, I took over for my mom dealing with National Cremation to get everything arranged and all I had to do was make a phone call.

I started dealing with Indira and she was at the crematorium. She came out and made special plans with my mom. She and my mom signed up also. National Cremation was awesome. The box that we got the urn was very pretty. Everybody was thoughtful and it wasn’t like everything was being pushed on us, what’s in time and important, especially we had enough stuff going on at that time. I had an amazing experience with National Cremation and I was very happy with it. It was very smooth and efficient. There were no surprises. I really enjoyed the process, especially for how difficult of a time it was for us. After I pay some of my bills, I’m gonna try to do it for myself. I’m a previous veteran. So, they said they would arrange me being buried at the veteran cemetery, and they would take care of all that for me. That would make it easier for my wife when I pass.

I was put in contact with the North Palm Beach Florida office of the National Cremation Society and was provided outstanding service and compassion by the location manager Lori Banes and her assistant Maria. I was under a lot of stress as I flew in from Massachusetts and although I needed to return to work, I wanted to fly back with my Dad’s ashes.

Lori answered every email promptly and with the updated status I needed on the proceedings. She reflects great compassion and understanding in her emails and phone calls. All contact with Lori’s assistant Maria were pleasant and helpful as well.

I could not have asked for better assistance during this emotional and stressful time.

In 2014 my husband and I. Joined the National Cremation Society, we talked to several friends regarding National Cremation Society. In 2015 they joined. On April 19, 2018, Mr. Church passed away in my son’s home, with many of us being by his side. After the hospice nurse came to pronounce his passing the National Cremation Society was called. My heart and mind are still overjoyed with the care and respect our dear friend received from the two men that came to retrieve his body 💕 They were dressed in black dress pants and soft blue long sleeve dress shirts, kind of matched our feelings. They spoke soft and kind and respectful. One of the men filled out paperwork and talked to family members kind of kept us busy while the other gentleman prepared our loved one to be removed from the home. We were asked if Mr. Church was a veteran and we said yes, we were then told there would be an American flag draped over the body from his chest down, the two men brought our loved one from his bedroom into the living room , face uncovered, the rest of his body was covered with a beautiful blue soft blanket, a small bouquet of flowers were placed under the blanket near his shoulder, and his body was draped in an American flag. We were offered to take as much time as we neede to say our goodbyes, when we were done with our goodbyes the men removed a section of the blue blanket that had been tucked under our loved ones head and covered his head ever so gently, the two men then took the gurney out our front door and placed it in a beautiful white vehicle, we were told the vehicles’ soft flashing lights would remain on until they were out of the neighborhood. The entire procedure was awesome. I am very happy to know my husband and I will be treated so kindly.

My family had an excellent experience with Abby Schilling. My uncle chose this company for his prepaid cremation. When I called to let Abby know of his passing, she was instantly helpful, kind, and accommodating. She has the heart to help families during this incredibly difficult time. I am very impressed with her compassion and professionalism. Abby helped us through getting the obituary to two different newspapers, coordinated arrangements with Ft. Snelling, and ordered state official documents. She was with us every step of the way and answered all of our questions, some before we even knew to ask. I never felt the pressure of any kind. If you are in need of this type of service, I would highly recommend working with Abby Schilling. She is excellent at her job and makes this awkward and painful time as smooth as possible. I am thankful we were able to work with someone so kind and professional.

Lori, I could not say enough good things about you and your services. I definitely feel I got exceptional service from you, especially with the respect you showed my mother when talking to me about what was going on. So much so I want to get a plan for myself now. Thank you very much.

My discussion with Quintin ** gave me the knowledge I needed to make a decision I was hesitant about. He presented everything professionally and thoroughly. He answered all my questions. I feel secure that my family won't have to make decisions that are difficult at the time of death.

Mr. Chris ** was very very good at handling me and my son, Howard, I could not ask for anyone better who was so passionate and caring. It was such a pleasure dealing with him. It made arrangements run smoothly at a time of grieving. I was very happy that I picked your company.

I was very pleased with the recent purchase of my cremation services! It is comforting knowing that all my family has to do with my death is make one phone call and everything is taken care of, to include the expenses involved!

I was treated respectfully by the entire staff, especially Jeffrey **, who thoroughly explained all the options available in a clear, concise manner. In no way did I ever feel pressured into purchasing services I did not desire. I was promptly kept informed throughout the process.

The National Cremation staff was very courteous and understanding with our loss. They helped with my Father's final wishes to be cremated. Michelle couldn't have been nicer explaining what we needed to do. Many thanks to her.

I was recommended to NC&BS by my mother's lay leader in N. Fort Myers. I am from Ohio and I came to the area to assist my parents during her illness. I've never had to handle arrangements before, so I was apprehensive, to say the least. As a family, we worked with Jeff Dellatto. He walked us through the process and answered our endless questions. Jeff is a true professional and I would recommend him and NC&BS to anyone in need of their services. Jeff went above and beyond for our family numerous times, seemed to anticipate our concerns, and... Read More

Lori Banes has been an angel throughout the entire process from the day I called letting her know my father had passed away until currently. She is helping me set up a Veterans Service graveside at a National Cemetary in Florida. since I live in another state, the care and concern provided to me have been invaluable.

I recommend this particular branch or location to anyone that is planning on a cremation for themselves or any family member. You will not be disappointed and you will be well taken care of.

Joshua, a very nice personality, and calming influence in a very difficult time were professional and caring. He explained everything I was doing and the reason for it and made the whole visit very easy. He has been quick to respond to any and all questions I have had, and I have found the whole cremation process very easy. National Cremation Society is a very well organized and professional organization, and I would recommend them to anyone needing this kind of service.

Even though I live in another part of the state, the service received by Indira Lugo for my family member was personal, always helpful, and consistent throughout our communications. I very much appreciate her professionalism and follow-up on all stages of the pre- and post-cremation process. Thank you

Lori Banes and her staff (Maria) were beyond helpful during my Dad's passing and transition. We were treated with respect and love during the planning process of cremation. Lori muddled through some difficulties with my Dad's various names from the military over his 89 1/2 years. She helped us with prayer cards, specific urns and the placement of his cremains is different vessels for family members. Lori went above her required duties as a funeral director. We are very grateful.

Michael Weakland was GREAT. When we met with him he was professional, comforting and prepared for the information and to answer all our questions. He kept in touch with us during the process. We went with him to the National Cemetry which he arranged. Everything took place perfectly and at the times specified...Our thanks to Mike because he must have worked extremely hard to do that g

My parent had a contract with National Cremation and we use those contract. I was very pleased with Lisa. She was very empathetic, very professional, and thorough in her job. I like the convenience of the preplanned service. It also saved some money in the long run. I would certainly recommend National Cremation to anybody. The facility in Largo, Florida could use some updating and some thorough cleaning, which I told the director that I worked with. It was not as clean as I would have liked. It was pleasant, but a little on the shabby side.

Nancy M.

Largo, FL

My parents, who are both deceased, pre-arranged with the National Cremation Society almost 30 years ago. This made the process for me much easier. When my mother who died recently, they contacted me to set up an appointment to finalize all the details. They took care of all the paperwork and anything else I requested them to do. They were very professional and comforting.
