Thank you for the service you provided for my father's funeral. Since the very first call to the funeral home the staff made us feel like my father was "The ONLY" client there not "ONE OF THEM". The staff was very attentive and compassionate. They never tried to sell us any extra bells and whistles and they were very respectful to our requests and wishes. Special "THANK YOU" to Chris, who made this experience as smooth as possible from the time we met him on the first day. Chris was very polite and listened to every single detail and request that we wanted to include into my father's service: he

We picked up my father in laws remains today, my mother in law was to upset to do it so i went. Got home and they had him in the wrong urn... called them, they came and swapped out his ashes. How horrible. Then we realized his wedding ring and bracelet where not returned. Called them.. they completely denied them being on body even though hospice verified they where on him. I guess the driver Harey got a nice gold perk. So sad and unbelievable.

I highly recommend City of Oaks Cremation and cannot say enough great things about them. My mother passed away on Christmas Day. I called, Somer promptly answered and patiently gave me easy to follow next steps. Customer service was outstanding because in the background I could hear kids opening presents and she clearly forwarded the phone to take calls. She followed up with me later that day as if it was a regular workday - but made me feel like this was her biggest priority. Also, they worked with me on a few delays that had arisen and were very accommodating.

Beyond awesome to my mom. Because of Covid there are a lot of restrictions. They said, "The night she passes call us." So we did. EVERYTHING we needed to know was online. The staff was wonderful. Sooner was compassionate and professional. Would highly recommend

This is the ONLY funeral home and crematory that I recommend for folks in the greater Raleigh area. The facility, the staff, the attitude, the availability of staff fluent in other languages...I could go on and on. Absolute best prices in our entire area and very transparent about costs and choices.

My mother passed away unexpectedly in April with no end of life plans in place. I was then put in a place of what to do, where to do it and how. I reached out to City of Oaks and they walked me through every step. I felt a calm of relief as I now had people to help me with this step. Everything was completed by phone and computer due to COVID-19. I was impressed with the compassion shown by staff that made them feel more like family and not a business.

We did not have a formal service due to Covid (I'm shocked by the people giving bad reviews over something City of Oaks can't control). I was very pleased with the reasonable, upfront cost, the coordination of pick up from hospice and the communication about all details.
Somer was very friendly and professional. She was easy to deal with and answered all my questions. Everything went smoothly.

I lost my mother to breast cancer last month. My mom chose City of Oaks when she transitioned to home hospice. When my mother passed, Kelly walked me through the entire process (even working on a Saturday). I was treated with dignity and respect throughout. I highly recommend City of Oaks.

The compassion and kindness and generosity shown by Edward and Trey to my family and me during a really sad time made the cremation process more bearable. It was important to us to know that our loved one was being received and cared for in a respectful and loving way. They took time to let us share with them about our loved one and we felt comforted. They were very thoughtful with their suggestions and showed us they genuinely cared about how our loss affected each member of our family. They were truly a blessing to us!
