Recent Testimonials

Given that this was a possibly very difficult time, I can't say enough about how helpful and kind and caring the staff at NCS has been. Russ Hendrickson has kept me apprised of all steps, gave me access to sources for help in related matters, and just was kind and caring.

Katie S.

Portland, OR

For me having to visit this place during such a sad, gut-wrenching time I was nervous about how to go through this sad situation after losing my husband. Mr. Holland greeted me warmly and led me into his office where he was professional yet caring as he knew the enormity of the situation. He made the process go easily as he conducted business yet kept the conversation as light and cheerful as possible. I really appreciated that. Once my husband was cremated, Mr. Holland called me to set up a time to come and pick him up at his office. Kindly he offered to deliver my husband’s ashes to me as he knew it would have been hard for me to return to his office and he had other business close to my home. His professionalism along with his caring manner really was compassionate and went above and beyond any expectations, I had and really make for a place you know you can go and be treated with kindness and caring when you are going through one of the most difficult times of your life. Thank you, Mr. Holland.

Your society has been extremely helpful for everything that I needed at this time of sadness. I had a lot of questions, and everyone I talked to was always very empathetic and understanding. They always called to check on me and make sure all was going as well as preplanned. I was extremely satisfied with everything.

I had no idea this would be so easy. I admit, since my husband passed at almost midnight on a Friday, my first call was surprisingly easy (local hospital does not have a morgue, so they were in somewhat of a hurry). I did take a few minutes to find out the procedure on Monday - but once I had contact with Mr. Hendrickson in Tigard, I was kept apprised of progress, helped with the needed legal signatures, and treated with care and respect.

I recently lost my husband, which was an extremely difficult time. National Cremation & Burial Society of North Ft. Myers made the process easy and took great care in helping us with the final transition. Jeffrey Testerman was exceptionally helpful, professional and sympathetic to our needs. Everyone that we dealt with was amazing. I highly recommend the services offered by National Cremation & Burial Society.

With the passing of my mother on January 31, all I really knew was she had pre-paid for her service with National Cremation Society. After making a few calls to various areas, I finally got an answer in their Tampa office who immediately told me that New Smyrna was in the Oviedo area. With one answer of the phone, NCS took over the entire situation with speed and professionalism. Stephen and his entire staff handled everything from pickup to shipment of the remains to Pennsylvania. My wife and I couldn't be more grateful and are now considering having NCS handle... Read More

This is the second time I have had dealings with National Cremation. In 2011 my mother passed away and in 2019 my wife passed away. I cannot thank this group for their concern, help, and professionalism. They made a difficult time a bit easier. Sara and the entire staff were great. Thank you all so much.

This funeral home was phenomenal. From the moment we arrived, they welcomed us and joined us in our pain. We were able to ease the pain smoothly with easy service planning. The day of them was VERY attentive. Stephen especially was a great gentleman always making sure if we needed anything. Constantly offering us water or napkins. I HIGHLY recommend this location to everyone. They touch everything with generous love and care and that is the best in such a difficult moment. They share the pain with you and help you along the way with both economic prices and create... Read More

Oviedo, FL

When my mother passed away unexpectedly, my siblings and I were shocked and devastated. She had previously said, "If anything happens to me, look in the hall closet." No one wants to hear or think about that, so the response was always "Nothing is going to happen to you!". Then one day it did. When we went in the closet and found a box with paperwork and an 800 number, the relief was immense. Now we knew, based on a contract signed by her, what her last wishes really were with no second-guessing. A phone call to an 800 number... Read More

A phone call to an 800 number on the paperwork led me to Maryann. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate all that she did for me. She patiently led me to step by step through the process and it could not have been easier. A couple of signatures from me and she took care of the rest. I would give her 10 stars if I could. So based on my experience, I would not hesitate to recommend National Cremation Services to anyone.

If you are thinking about pre-planning for yourself I will say I am so glad my Mom did it.

Valerie D.

Detroit / Bloomfield Hills, MI

After the unexpected death of a family member, we were overwhelmed with the process of laying her to rest. Like anyone on a budget, I started calling around to get prices. It felt like an insensitive thing to do but cremation/burials is a competitive business, and believe me, the costs are startling. But then I called Oviedo’s National Cremation & Burial Society and their direct cremation option were surprisingly affordable – literally thousands less than the other local providers. Our family member made it known she wanted her ashes scattered at sea so a direct cremation worked for us. They even had biodegradable urns for sea burials. I had made my decision. Elizabeth Franco was the service manager who held our hands through this distressing time. She was kind, informative, and efficient. She maintained communication with us throughout the process and ensured we knew about all the keepsakes/services that their business provides to help preserve a memory. When we opted in, she offered guidance. When we opted out, she didn’t push. She replaced our stress with a sense of calm and that in itself was priceless. Elizabeth exemplifies what it means to serve during a time of crisis and hardship. I highly recommend Elizabeth and National Cremation & Burial Society.

Note: As of March 2019, this business uses Woodlawn Crematory.

I received a call from Randy right away which helped me to understand what I needed to do next. When I met with him to finalize my mother's arrangements, he had everything completed and in order. The signing and completion of the details were quick and easy. Randy was helpful in answering all my questions, and he was knowledgeable and offered to help with any other resources I might need.

I give their service a 12-star rating. Tonya M.

This has been a journey I wish I didn’t have to take right now, however, I am so thankful for Justine White who showed such care and respect for my dad and myself. He was such an amazing person and I only wish you all could have known him. He took great care to make sure my part would be as less stressful as possible. I feel blessed to have Ben given Justine as my contact person. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Both dad and mom are finally together.

Mr. Joseph ** did a great job of caring for our daughter's cremation. He spent time with us talking about the care they gave her and that he would always be here for us if we needed anything. It was such a sad time for us (and still is) since our daughter passed away so suddenly. She was 21 but was on the level of about a 1-year-old. She was very medically fragile and a total care child.

Mr. Joseph ** did a great job of caring for our daughter’s cremation. He spent time with us talking about the care they gave her and that he would always be here for us if we needed anything. It was such a sad time for us (and still is) since our daughter passed away so suddenly. She was 21 but was on the level of about a 1-year-old. She was very medically fragile and a total care child. We loved her more than anything in this world and we will always miss her. She has left a big empty hole in our hearts but we know we will see her again one day. We adopted her when she was about 5 months old. She was always happy and smiling and singing. Thank you for your kind services for her and us.

The excellence of this organization and the kindness and efficiency they demonstrated made the most unbearable situation a blessing. Randy was stellar in handling the details for my husband. His recommendations were perfect and he understood our desires. Thank you to National Cremation Services. Your support was a blessing for my entire family.

When my dad recently passed, I was sure glad we were referred here by my brother-in-law. At first, I was skeptical not knowing what to expect but I knew I had to get ahead of it as my mom was obviously focusing on a plethora of other things. When I first spoke to William, AKA Randy over the phone, I was quickly overcome by his empathy. Randy is certainly a pro. His empathetic approach told me I was in the right place and our interests were his interests. Randy took my pertinent information and made arrangements to see my mom... Read More

Randy took my pertinent information and made arrangements to see my mom and I a few days later. Working with him sure turned out to be pleasant as we had to change the appt time because we were running late. Randy worked with us and even rearranged his own schedule to accommodate us. When we entered his office, we were made to feel comfortable by his offerings of coffee and water as we settled in. Randy proceeded to explain the entire cremation process from start to finish. We had so many questions and easily went over our time slot but was never made to feel rushed. I feel like Randy had a checklist in his head of things he wanted to make sure we were aware of and also took the time to make sure we had the answers to things we didn’t think of. This included the Death Certificates. Randy took care of that too.

Our experience was a very positive one at a not so great time. I believe working with Randy provided a level of comfort we needed at a difficult time.

Thank you, Randy and the team at National Cremation Services!

My family’s whole experience with National Cremation Society was effortless. They came promptly to collect my father’s body from hospice, met with us in a timely manner, explained the process very professionally and with some humor to help us feel more comfortable, and returned my father’s remains to us in a reasonable amount of time. I would trust them with any future needs and would recommend their services to anyone who has lost a loved one.

During the most trying and sad period of my life, they stepped in to make every decision easier. Karen was so knowledgeable, thoughtful and sympathetic. Matt was there to step in whenever I just needed a kind word. Their rates were established upfront and I never felt there was any petty back and forth over minor additions or changes. Losing my husband was devastating and they stood by me gently supporting me through the process and making sure I was able to honor him in a way he deserves. I would highly recommend them for cremation and memorial services because they are extremely competent, professional and caring.

From the time we spoke with National Cremation through my husbands passing and cremation, National Cremation was very responsive with their services and supplying additional resources during a difficult time. Sara Anderson went out of her way to make sure paperwork was collected and returned on a timely basis despite several snowstorms, cold weather, and poor roads. The cremation allowed the family time to prepare a memorial service. Thanks, Sara and National Cremation Society.

He ensured and coordinated the placement of my mother's urn in the same niche as her husband at Arlington National Cemetery VA. Not an easy task. He also helped with the updating and re-engraving of the memorial plaque. He is a kind and caring person. Always kept us informed and helped us through a very difficult time.

My amazing father passed away on January 25, 2019, it’s been incredibly hard as he did so much for us. But having the services of National Cremation has made this process so easy I am considering taking part myself. The kindness, compassion, and understanding Justine and her staff have is not only commendable but has been a pleasure to work with during this incredibly difficult time. When we picked up dad’s cremains, the only thing we had to pay for was a $10 disposition review fee (because my father passed away at Madigan in Pierce County) and 5 death certificates (Department of Health charges $20 for each and Justine took care of ordering them – another plus). I want to send a heartfelt “Thank You” to National Cremation, I don’t know what we would’ve done if my parents didn’t have the foresight to take care of this ahead of time.

When my husband of 38 years passed away, on top of being an emotional mess, I was apprehensive that planning his cremation would be met with disappointment and unnecessary expenses. During the process, I could see that my apprehension was unnecessary. Josh at the North Hollywood location was warm, patient, polite, informative, thorough, and accommodating to some unconventional wishes that my husband and I discussed before he passed. Josh made it ALL happen. I am a very satisfied customer of National Cremation Service. Also, their rates are unrivaled.

Josh catered to all our needs and followed up with me every step of the way. When my baby passed I called around to different cremation companies and everyone seemed insensitive about. On the other hand, Josh explained everything and was very compassionate about our families loss. He made our experience better than any other place would have.

We received great assistance from Catherine Rawdin from the Ruskin office. She helped my brother and me with the loss of our Mom which was devastating to us. We met with her on Christmas Eve and she helped us with the paperwork, answered our questions and offered advice. She was always there for us and kept us updated throughout the entire process no matter what day or time. Catherine's compassion was from her heart. Our family appreciates everything that was done for us by Catherine and the entire staff.

The process of managing my father's death was handled smoothly and with compassion. We are SO PLEASED with the process that my wife and I intend to utilize the National Cremation Society as we prepare our own final requests. Having everything arranged in advance reduced the stress of a sad time for us and we want our children to have the same positive experience with final arrangements when we pass.

Stephen Barreto was very helpful with all our needs. He made sure every detail was right and helped us every step of the way. He was pivotal important at a crucial time in our lives. He and the staff there are excellent.

People grieve in different ways, all the way from somber grief to celebration of the life of a loved one. Randy seems to understand that and picks up just how the grieving party is handling it. I was quite impressed with his ability to handle the process with sensitivity and yet some level of humor. It reminded me a little of the Mary Poppins song about a spoon full of sugar helps to make the medicine go down. He made the process a lot easier for those of us left behind.

Lori, Thank you sooooo much for reassuring me!!!!! That is a relief because being responsible for everything and so many total assets made me feel horrible if I had messed up. Thank you again, you’re an earth angel and the world needs more souls like yourself. It’s truly comfort and not all people are suited for such an emotional task! Muah 💕 Bonnie

Justine and her staff were exceptional. My mother was a Florida resident and had made all her arrangements down there. When she passed up here in Washington, we were at a loss as to what we should do next. We emailed a copy of the contact that mom had signed to Justine and she took care of the rest. Even though we had a tough time getting the death certificate signed, Justine stayed on top of it and eventually had success. We would recommend " National Creamation" to everyone. Thanks, Justine for a fine job by you and your staff.

The death of a loved one can be and is a very difficult time. Confusion caused by the flood of emotion can cloud one's thinking ability at a time when decisions need to be made. My family and I thank NCS for their concern for our loved one as well as the family. Our contact, Maryann McConnell, was both professional and compassionate. She helped us through the process from the very first phone call to her very last inquiry to make sure all things were taken care of just so.

I give special thanks to Barbara Kallevig for going the extra mile for my friend who passed away in September. Her cremains had to be shipped to Miami to be picked up there by a niece from Merida, Mexico. Barbara was kind enough to hold the cremains and legal documents at the Cremation Society until January when they could be picked up in Miami. She was always very polite and helpful and I appreciate the work she did for the family.

Darlene W.

Sarasota, FL

My mother passed away in October 2017. Barbara Kallevig assisted me in handling my mother’s cremation as I had no prior experience with the cremation process. Barbara is extremely knowledgeable regarding all aspects of the cremation process. Not only does she have a complete grasp of procedures, costs, notifications, death certificates and the handling of grief, but she is also always most responsive, accurate in all associated matters, sympathetic, comforting and kind. I was extremely satisfied with the care and services that Barbara and NC&BS provided. In December 2018 my father passed away. We immediately contacted NC&BS and asked for Barbara. My father’s remains were picked up expeditiously. Barbara was amazing again and we were provided the same great services as before. Barbara was a Blessing in our time of need and I highly recommend contacting NC&BS and asking for Barbara Kallevig to take care of your loved one. Thank you, Barbara, from the heart.

Randy expressed his sincere condolences and walked me through the process. He was there every step of the way and didn’t always just talk about my mom. We would talk about other things, which was comforting. He wasn’t that creepy funeral director that only talked about death, which was nice. He would check up on me and see how I was doing if he didn’t hear from me for a couple of days. My life was complete upside down and talking to him would make everything feel better as much as it could. He is just the regular down to earth guy that really enjoys helping families in their most difficult time, as well as his community. I defiantly recommend Randy to any family going through the loss of a loved one. Thank you, Randy, for being there every step of the way for me, my brother, and sister in law.

National Cremation & Burial Society seemed like a simpler and more streamlined operation. I went with them and worked with a gentleman there. It's hard to fool me as far as making me feel like people cared but then this gentleman did. He made something terrible a little less terrible. He put together a cost-effective package. It was very well done and tasteful. He went above and beyond. I recommend this service to anyone I deal with.

Peter S.

Given the difficulty of the situation, dealing with the death of a loved one, it is, of course, hard to be 'positive' when speaking about Cremation. All things considered, I was comforted by Lori's help, knowledge, and compassion, and the assistance that was provided in receiving the cremation remains and death certificates.

Wow, somewhere in the initial presentation I must have missed the advisory that my box would show up in the mail and that was a shock when with no warning I opened the carton and viola that is where my ashes will be placed. Quite a surprise!

Ron M.

Was exceptional due to abilities of Pre-Arrangement Counselor Anne **. Besides being outstanding in her job, I benefited from her wide, superior knowledge of other services a senior community member might need at that time of life. She was extremely helpful, had opinions confirming what I'd heard from others so was able to put my mind to rest, and invited me to recontact her if I needed further assistance.

The Clearwater center and especially Lisa Lustig is an outstanding group of company representatives who assisted us through this difficult process. Lisa followed up several times to coordinate the burial of both of our Aunts at the VA Bay Pines and we appreciate that high level of thoroughness. I would highly recommend National Cremation Services in Clearwater, Florida to everyone.

Robert S.

Sadly I have lost many loved ones over the years. The experience with National was the very best. The respectfulness, kindness, and professionalism were beyond my expectations.

When you say goodbye to a loved one working with someone who shows that kind of respect this operation did make life a little easier in those most difficult days.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 want to thank National Cremation & Burial Society for their compassionate and professional services with the arrangements for cremation of our loved one. Special thanks to Lori and Simone for helping me and my family by handling all the processes of final life arrangements for our Aunt. Thank you, thank you.

We had a good experience and were pleased with the professionalism that was used on a sensitive subject. The company response has been equally professional. All the literature and correspondence has been excellent as well.

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.

Many thanks to them for all they did for me and my family during this difficult time.

I couldn't have asked for anyone better than Catherine to help me through the process and arrangements for my father in law. I had other terribly stressful family circumstances happening and she was most understanding, like an old friend. I'm very grateful for everything she did and I thank the entire staff. Everyone was awesome!

My husband died after 13 years with Alzheimer’s. Barbara K. of the Sarasota National Cremation Society was compassionate and efficient in finalizing our plans. I so appreciate her assistance at this sad time for our family.

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.

I want to thank Lori, for all her help in my time of need with my moms' cremation. My Mom passed away at home and the only one with her was me. Little did I know what a mess I was in. Thanks to Lori with her calming voice and comforting way. You guided me through step-by=step. you were a God sent, you are a Blessed person. Thank you for everything. Isabella R.

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.

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.

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.

Daren was so kind, thorough and understanding he got me thru the worst time of my life when my son died. Can't thank him enough.

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.

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.

Molly S.

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.

Virginia V.

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 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.

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.

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

Robin Wright is the kindest sweet understanding therapist sales person we have met.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Sondra S.

Our daughter passed in Fla and we are located in Virginia. Lori walked me through step by step. She was so kind. She took her time to answer all of our questions. At such a difficult time for our family, I couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you, Lori.

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.

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.

The passing of a loved one is, of course, a very very difficult time. National Cremation in Ruskin helped me through the process with care and compassion. I am so grateful that both of my parents had the forethought to pre-plan their cremations and chose to work with this organization.

After my father's passing from an accidental fall, my sister and I were not only hurting profoundly but were very confused as to what was going to happen in the next few days. The day after his passing we reached out to Ms. Mallory Johnson with the Oviedo, FL branch of National Cremation & Burial Services. 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.

After my father’s passing from an accidental fall, my sister and I were not only hurting profoundly but were very confused as to what was going to happen in the next few days. The day after his passing we reached out to Ms. Mallory Johnson with the Oviedo, FL branch of National Cremation & Burial Services. 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.

Clearwater, FL

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.

WE WERE EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH THE SERVICE WE RECEIVED WHEN MAKING FINAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR A DEAR FRIEND. INDIRA LUGO ANSWERED QUESTIONS TO OUR COMPLETE SATISFACTION AND IN A CARING AND PROFESSIONAL MANNER. EXCELLENT SERVICE. THE PERSONAL FOLLOW-UP NOTE WAS VERY THOUGHTFUL.

Robert & Janice S.

Ruskin, FL

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.

Oviedo, FL

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.

Gainesville, FL

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.

Barbara H.

My mother had made arrangements with National Cremation years ago. Her taking advantage of their pre-planned services made it so much easier for us when we needed the services. Our interaction with their team was excellent too. They were very understanding, helpful, sensitive, and professional.

Tom F.

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 service provided by Lori Banes was great and helpful in moments like you wish they would never come. I recommend this company very strongly after my own experience.

Marcelo P.

Steven was very kind and compassionate...mom had pre-paid for arrangements which made it very easy for me..the day my mom passed away the team from National Cremation arrived to pick up my mom and they were so caring it made the process tolerable...all paperwork was done efficiently and everything was ready when I went to pick up her remains

Sharon M.

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.

This was the second time I have had to deal with the Society and been extremely pleased with my experiences during trying times.

Steven M.

Palm Beach, FL

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.

Cynthia D.

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!

David F.

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.

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“.

Georganna T.

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 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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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. My wife has still not decided what she wants to do. The company representative was extremely professional and personable.

Jeffrey, Thank you so much for all you have done. My Mom arrived yesterday and was delivered by a man who not only was our neighbor in our Ashaway house but someone my mom had in her Jiminy Cricket Nursery School!! A small world. He had also delivered my Dad’s remains a few weeks ago. They are together again and our family is all grateful for your attention, and certainly your kindness. I know it is your job, but there are some people that are just very good at it. You are one of the select few that have just... Read More

We recently had need of your company's service with the passing of my father followed by my mother 21 days later. Your representative Mr. Michael Weakland, Mgr. out of the Ruskin, FL office was incredible. He coordinated the requirements for my father's remains and the end of life requests with my mother as per her wishes. He effortlessly worked with my mom who was herself terminally ill, my wife and myself, ensuring everything was done correctly, timely and keeping us all "In the loop". Michael (Mike) could not have been more helpful; he coordinated everything from start to finish, including... Read More

Michael (Mike) could not have been more helpful; he coordinated everything from start to finish, including assisting in the VA Burial at the Florida National Cemetery.

The quality of service provided to our family from your company and your employee, Mr. Michael Weakland are to be commended. We will recommend National Cremation & Burial Society to our friends and family and stress the importance of prior coordination for these issues. Such quality of work and sincerity cannot be underestimated to the families you work with.

I can’t give enough praise for the service that I received from Justin Davis in my time of need. Justin went above and beyond my expectations. The service I received was exceptional and gave me a piece of mind.

The staff here is very caring, Mr.Davis gave exceptional service to make sure my family was well taken care of and made our experience worthwhile as we were going through our mourning of our loved one. I definitely recommend...If it had more than 5stars I would choose it!

Great service! We chose to have Mr. Davis perform at the funeral. Not only was our experience with this location wonderful, so was the sax solo.

Sydni W.

The staff was considerate and kind. I told Mr. Davis that Amazing Grace was a favorite hymn, and he was kind enough to play it for is during the service.

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.

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

Caring, sensitive staff. Made cremation preparations as easy as possible under the circumstances. No hard sell on products, however a beautiful array of prayer cards, guest book packages, jewelry and other remembrances of a loved one available.

Elizabeth B.

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.

Steve T.

Extremely courteous and timely. Helped take care of lots of loose ends we didn't know we had. Highly recommend!

My grandmother pre-arranged her cremation and when she passed away last month the process to have her cremated was very easy. Lori Banes helped me every step of the way and was professional, very kind, and compassionate. Thank you for making this an easy process.

Chasity L.

West Palm Beach, FL

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.

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.

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!!

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. They explained everything to me thoroughly and responded to my special requests efficiently and thoughtfully. I'm glad we trusted them during this difficult time.

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. It was a pleasure to meet with Joe.

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.

Russel S.

Belleview, FL

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.

Melbourne, FL

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.

Georgiene A.

Palm Harbor, FL

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.

Melissa G.

Lory and Maria are very helpful and provide us a very good service. They made the difficult situation much easier for us. Both did a great job! Thank you very much! Christian & Uli from Germany

Dealing with the details of my Husband's death is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Jeffrey Testerman and the staff at National Cremation Society helped to make the process extremely comfortable. The compassion and professionalism showed impressed, not only myself but my family members that assisted me. We were all pleased with the respectful, relaxing and compassionate way we were treated.

I used the National Cremation services for my father in 2012 and recently for my mother. Lori Barnes was an excellent service provider helping us successfully thru the full process and having the remains delivered to Upstate NY for burial services. Thank You.
