The staff was available weekends and evenings to answer questions and concerns. Our mother's remains were handled and presented with dignity and compassion.

I attended a viewing recently for a close friend and I could not believe how beautiful and accommodating the funeral home was. The last time I attended a funeral at one of the other funeral homes in town there was no parking, the funeral home was very outdated and the staff was not near as friendly. Everyone in attendance noticed the attention to detail, the comforting environment throughout-especially the hospitality suite downstairs which provided a place for friends and family to relax and regroup during a stressful time. I can not say enough good things about my experience at Simple Alternatives

Losing a loved one is a difficult time regardless of your age, race, religion or financial status... Simple Alternatives is compassionate, caring staff was more than accommodating for our family's needs. We wouldn't take a loved one any other place for service.

Simple Alternatives made my family's loss an easy process to manage. The staff was very kind and everyone that we experienced was helpful and kept our family's best interest in mind. It was a relief to feel like someone cared and took the time to get to know our family and let us share stories of our loved one to make the experience personal.

They helped my mother to make all of her final arrangements well ahead of time so that there wouldn't be a burden on the family. When the time came, she didn't want a service or anyone making a fuss over her, which would have been difficult as there were already COVID-19 restrictions in place. They kept me informed of every step, from cremation and the creation of her obituary to the interment of her ashes. They helped my family get through a difficult time and I highly recommend their services.

Simple Alternatives Funeral Home was thorough and caring. I am not from the area and they handled everything for my sister’s cremation.
We are very thankful.
