Services
During the time of loss, an easy-to-understand process and secure system that helps you order simple cremation arrangements online can provide two things: 1. convenience 2. time savings. Our family business built this secure system with those elements in mind and we serve all of our neighbors in Humboldt County.
At Ayres Family Cremation, we specialize in simple, convenient direct cremations and direct burial services. You can quickly arrange needed services securely online from the comfort and privacy of your home or office. Or call us to make an appointment to come into our office. Our arrangement services are offered through a website for your convenience.
To plan a cremation, review and select the cremation services or package preferred. Once you have chosen the direct cremation package, go through the options below and make your selection in the order process. Press 'continue' to choose the container and urn (which are required) and any keepsakes (which are optional).
If you've ever had to arrange a funeral without knowing the wishes of the one who has died, you know how difficult the decision-making process can be. Do they want to be buried or cremated? Do they want a religious or secular service or perhaps no service at all? Do they want their ashes scattered, and if so, where?
At Ayres Family Cremation, we're here to support you during this time of sorrow and new responsibility. We are qualified and happy to answer all of your questions directly and clearly. We will walk you through each of the necessary steps (as outlined below). Once we've been notified of your loved one's passing, you can arrange the chosen cremation or burial via our website.

I am incredibly grateful for this family owned business! Unfortunately, I have had to utilize their services twice in the last year when I had to put down my 2 dogs. I spoke to both the owners and their manager to organize the drop off after such a heartbreaking experience. The first time I had to put my best bud down, I was a wreck and was doing it all alone. The Owner, came and met me in the evening and helped me get through the experience with compassion and heartfelt sincerity! It was very comforting to know my dog was in good hands. They called me within a week and I went to pickup his ashes

They misprinted and failed to correct my Father's death certificate. My father recently passed and pre-paid for the basic services here. Office staff and directer were very friendly, empathetic, and professional. What we are upset with is the fact we went over how the official death certificate would be printed- they failed to state my Dad was in the service, had a college degree, his marital status was incorrect. We made the changes and initialed with the funeral director and he promised he would make the changes before the official death certificate was printed. Unfortunately that did NOT

I met with Ayres to discuss my pre planning options regarding my end of life. I was very pleased with his compassion, his honesty and ability to help one with giving the gift of a plan to our loved ones. Even though, I do expect to live a long life, his low pressure, cremation vs. burial options was full of informative valuable information. I recommend this local business 100%!

Not a service you necessarily look for but in terms of what we needed they were helpful and courteous. I have not received the death certificates yet, but baring any issues I'd make this 5 stars. I don't think they're part of a national network if that matters but I'm sure they will work out whatever local needs.

I give Ayers top rating for their caring, gentleness and professionalism.
From the time that my dad and I went there to prepay, and plan his cremation, to the time when I went to pick up his death certificates, I have found everyone to be so kind as I went through the most difficult time in my life.
When my dad died out of the area, they were willing to go get him from the nursing home, where he had passed, and to bring him home (for a nominal fee).
To me, that is going above and beyond regular service.
They gave me all the time that I needed to spend with my dad after they brought him home

My family had my mother Cremated there about a month ago they did a good job on on having my mother's ashes put in the container and box. But i was upset when i saw the hospital gown on her still and the hospital tags on her wrist and the smell of decay when we got to view her one last time before the cremation . Don't even know if they had her in a freezer box when she was brought there from the hospital. It would of been nice if they could of had us bring one of her nice outfits so they could of dressed her in before the cremated her and if they could of put some nice makeup on her when we got

I found them to be lovely, they opened up on a weekend for a 'vagrant' even though they were closed, they cremated my brother basically on demand so I could get home in time to be back at work.They catered to my wanting them to hold my brother until I could see him even though they're not really set up for it. They took one of the worst moments of my life and made it ever so slightly more livable and I thank them deeply for it. I have read some of these other reviews and would like to point out that problems with the death certificate would be by the person filling out the vital statistics paperwork

If I could give half a star I would. My experience with this business was absolutely unbelievable & completely shocking. I'm not really sure where to start. They got names wrong on the death certificate multiple times. I had to send pictures with correct spelling in an email. Which required addendums to my mothers original certificate. Which slowed the process of closing accounts. I had to call multiple times to make sure things were being done in a timely manner & to get updates on a pick up time for my mothers ashes. When I did come by to pick her up. This is what I heard come out

Recently a dear friend of ours passed away and we were in need of making arrangements for our friend. We turned to Ayres family cremation. They came out immediately and was very professional and caring of our needs at a difficult time. Complete follow through on their part down to the death certificate was done on a timely and orderly manner. We found them to be most comforting during this time. I would highly recommend their services at such a difficult time in one's passing. Their pricing was straightforward and reasonable. Many thanks to each and every one of them a at Ayers family cremation

The respectful, compassionate and professional care our family received by Ayes Family Cremation will always be remembered. Brett Huska and the entire staff are top notch. We're extremely grateful to the palliative care team at Saint Joseph's Hospital and the Just for You Board and Care facility in Eureka for recommending this company.
