Our Dad passed away after a long battle with cancer and my sisters and I reached out to Marcels cremations in Miami. Diane was very professional and available at all times for questions and concerns. Would highly recommend this business. Thank you Diane for the prompt and kind service you provided to our family in this situation.

Allen & Shaw Cremations is our family's crematorium. They have been there for our family since 2000. They truly take care of both the family and the member that has passed. Always very caring and respectful and not out to take advantage of a grieving family. We won't go to anyone else. They are the very best!

Tammy and Team were very kind, respectful, thorough and helpful through this process. No one ever wants to think about cremating their loved one, but its something we will all have to do at some point and they are nice people that are not trying to steal your money and do an honest job. Thank you so much for your help during our hard time.

We have used Allen and Shaw a couple times and we're very pleased with how helpful and kind they were to us. My mother is 92 and had already chosen Allen and Shaw to take care of her when the time comes. She trusts them and that means a lot.

The tragic passing of our 16 yrs old Jackie happened accidentally therefore very traumatic. The day after Monica Lopez accepted to do Jackies private cremation. Because it is a lucrative business I was fearful of the next steps. Indeed it is a painful process but Monicas genuine honest passion for her work made it all peaceful, compassionate, loving, and humane for Jackies cremation process. Jackie, Richard and I will forever be greatful for Monicas heartfelt very professional services. Without a doubt I highly recommend dog owners resting rainbow services. Thank you O Monica. Evelyn

Perfect place despite imperfect circumstances. Monica is the sweetest woman and helped make my process of saying goodbye much better. Please go to this place if you are in need of this service. No place will help you better.

Let me just start off by saying that losing my baby girl Zephyr was one of the hardest things I have ever had to experience. Resting Rainbow made this delicate moment a little easier on us. We opted for the private cremation with a viewing. As soon as we arrived Monica was expecting us and greeted us with such kindness and compassion. She gave us as much time as we needed, was incredibly accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. Lit candles for our baby and let us use whatever they had available. When it came time to take my girl for the cremation, the gentleman that cremated her treated her with such respect and dignity. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else in charge of that task. They allowed us to wait in the viewing area so we can take our girl home the same day. You guys are really doing such an incredible service and for that we are very grateful. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. - Zephyr's Family <3

Pocas veces se dejan rese�as en estos negocios debido de que preferimos no recordarlos, pero sinceramente Valles nos ayudo a que este proceso fuera menos dif�cil ya que en nuestro caso nuestro ser querido estaba en otro estado y el tan solo el hecho de escuchar a Yoli decirnos "no te preocupes dime donde esta y de aqui para alante me ocupo yo" nos libero de un poco mas de dolor, y claro que le pagamos pero no se aprovecho de la situaci�n por el contrario nos dio un preciorazonable!! Gracias y ser�n muy bien recomendados.
