Any additional items that increase the cost will be discussed with you in advance and provided in writing.
My brother and I want to thank the staff at Local Cremation for their skilled handling of our father's death. They informed us clearly about the cremation process and various options from very simple cremation to more elaborate procedures. When our dad died, our requests were carried out quickly and competently.
Arranging and directing a memorial or graveside service at the location of your choice (details). I would not hesitate to recommend the use of Local Cremation. The staff were very helpful and thoughtful and made this experience as easy for me as possible. If the deceased is located outside our service area, additional transportation costs apply.
Create a treasured memory that honors your loved one. A tribute video is a wonderful keepsake that can be shared at a memorial service or funeral and then shared with family and friends. Share your video with others. Too often we hear that it is used at the memorial or funeral and then put in a drawer or keepsake box.
Coordinating veterans graveside service with DFW National Cemetery, Military Honors, clergy, etc. The Local Cremation staff is kind, compassionate, and professional. They handled all aspects of my father's cremation and memorial service at the National Cemetery. Since my father had served in the military, we chose the Veteran's Package.

Audra is truly a God send blessing. I loss my baby and found out 11 weeks into my pregnancy. The hospital was giving me a hard time to get the baby sent to the funeral home to be cremated. Audra kept reaching out and contacting them for me so I wouldn’t have to. It has been a stressful and emotional time for me and my family. I am so grateful she stayed on it for us. Thank you so much I truly can’t express how grateful I feel!!!! Now I will have my little angle baby with me forever!!❤️❤️❤️

Frank is a first class guy, a man of his word and has an outstanding staff! The service he provides is top notch and at a very affordable price. They took over and handled everything after my mother passed 01/01/2021 and the funeral home wanted to charge 22k for a small grave side service/burial, and that didn't include a casket or the plot! Frank's quote was exactly what I paid...no hidden or "gotcha" fees. The only option was how many death certificates did we need which come from the state. Only the price was discounted, the service was stellar in every way! If you are considering using them

Frank and his team are absolutely amazing! They handled every detail in a way that was seamless for our grieving family. The process was completely transparent and we were informed of every step that was being made, what to expect and when. Most importantly, we were treated with respect and great compassion. I’m so grateful that we found them.

Extremely helpful, professional and caring. They took care of every detail from start to finish for me. I had no reason to worry or question anything. I was well informed on every step of this journey, what to expect and how, when and why They would take action. Could not have asked for more. I was so at peace because of their great service.

This is more of just a thank you from the bottom of my heart to Frank and Audra. I don’t know how, but they made a traumatic time in my life more peaceful. They always spoke of my brother with the dignity and respect he deserved as if he were still with us. We had a couple issues arise on our part and they were more than accommodating and when I needed his death certificate right away and was unable to come into the office, Audra offered to overnight them to me and I had them to next day. They took a lot of the stress away and seemed happy to do so.

The last thing you think in the first hours and days after you have lost a loved one, especially your Mom, is that there is anything that will be easy or positive. Especially not making the final arrangements. I can whole hardheartedly say Frank and his team did just that, it was EASY. I have planned several funerals and the stress was always in the details. Not the case with Frank's team. I had spoken with Audra earlier in the week not knowing it would be just days before I really needed their service. I had made no arrangements only answered some questions. When I called the office and told them

Before my father-in-law passed, his wishes were to be cremated. Once I spoke to Audra, I knew this would be the group that would be the best to take care of his wishes. Audra answered any question we had and was able to allow us to take care of the preliminary paperwork online. Once he passed, they were there within two hours to take him to their facility. The entire process went smoothly & professionally and was completed within the time frame Audra estimated. I suggest that you give Audra a call and hopefully have a similar experience that we have had during this sensitive matter. Thank you again

I HIGHLY recommend Local Cremations and Funerals. They were one of three places recommended by the hospice team that was taking care of my mom. I am so glad I chose them as I can't say enough good things about them. I wasn't sure what to expect as this was the frist time I have had to make arrangements like this, but Local Cremations exceeded… any expectations I had. They employ some of the most caring, understanding and beyond helpful people. They offer many options to suit your family's needs and help make recommendations you may not have thought of. They keep you informed every step of

We had the unfortunate event, last week, of having lost my brother in law.
I called Local Cremation and Funeral services the night of-- after hours. Although, the girl on the phone couldn't tell me in full detail about pricing, and the different types of packages/services. She did assure me that if I called back in the morning, the funeral director would answer all of my questions.
My family and I, lost and grief stricken, showed up at their Greenville location at about 9am the following morning, not having scheduled any appointments, or had talked to anyone. As soon as we showed up (unannounced

I could not be more pleased with how the folks at Local Cremation handled my fathers funeral service. From the initial calls with Frank, the in office visit and follow-up emails with Audra and Brittany and the actual service coordinated by Lonnie, every step of the way we felt like Local Cremation had it covered. Awesome job from the fine folks at Local Cremation! Thanks for everything guys.

Scott answered our call on a Sunday and was very helpful explaining the process. Very considerate and professional. We went in on Monday and met with Wendell. He and the staff were very accommodating and patient as we asked our questions and made our choices. We even changed a couple of things as we went along through the process of them picking up my brother and making arrangements for the cremation. They were all very courteous and professional. Pricing was very reasonable and I would definitely recommend using them. Strange to click five starts - says I loved it. While I didn't love the event
