A much needed service in Asheville. They are kind, compassionate and ready and willing to help. Mr. Combs is great, they were every bit as good as a funeral home, providing death certificates promptly, cutting through red tape with an insurance company, and fulfilling a request for a document copy, even after the cremated remains had been delivered to our funeral home. I highly recommend them, you won't be disappointed.

Mr. Combs is very kind and considerate. He takes the time to ensure that everything is done correctly. Many years ago I used a different, very expensive funeral home that showed very little consideration for the family. If you want to pay a fair price and be treated well, go to Asheville Area Alternative.

My dad, Harvey Jenkins, funeral was taken care of by Ashe. Area Alternative. They performed a fantastic service for our family. Everyone was most courteous and professional. We spoke with two other facilities in town before choosing this company. No regrets. Thank you for making this as easy as you possible.
