We cannot adequately express how wonderful Stephanie, David, and Overman-Jones were when our mom recently passed away. Stephanie sat with my sister and I just two hours after getting the heartbreaking call that Mom had passed. She was so incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely compassionate as she gently guided us through the decisions and steps necessary to make the arrangements. She listened, suggested, and worked to plan a beautiful service that was exactly what our mom wanted. It was indeed perfect! And David showed the utmost respect and kindness as he escorted our mom to Overman-Jones later that morning. My sister and I sincerely thank them both. They are very special people who have answered a special calling. We will not hesitate to recommend Overman-Jones Funeral Home and Cremation Services.

They go above and beyond to treat you like family. Losing a loved one is never easy but they are there for you. From the first meet to traveling to the cemetery, the upmost respect and care was provided to us. I recommend this funeral home.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Krystin at a difficult time. All I can say is God directed me to call Hart Cremations. I was dealt with such concern, kindness and detailed directions as to how to proceed after my husbands death. Krystin gave all of her time to help me through all issues, and was always available for my calls and even the ones she initiated to me keeping me informed every step of the process. A wholehearted thank you to Krystin.

Kristin was so amazing. We lost our son stillborn in December. She constantly kept us up to date on where our son was and that she was personally taking care of him. We got the gift of a lifetime from her as we were able to say goodbye to him one more time before he was cremated. Thank you for everything Kristin <3

I hated having to come here but I couldnt have asked for a better experience! Krystin and her mom are amazing and treated my family with so much respect and care when my dad passed away recently. We really appreciated the transparent pricing, modern atmosphere that made the service a little bit less gloomy, flexibility and ease of accommodating us. Krystin was in touch with our whole family every step of the way and made the process seamless, which was perfect as we were grieving. She was also super flexible as we planned a military service and allowed us to customize it however we pleased. She kept us informed every step of the way on what was happening with dad. I felt very comfortable trusting him in their care. I cannot recommend Hart Cremations more for those who have lost a loved one.
