I give these folks a five star.Review they took care of our family very well and our mother out of all the funeral homes that I call these folks right here are awesome i was really disappointed in some of the other funeral homes. And their prices? I'm not made from money. And neither is my family. So to have our mother cremated, and at some of the prices that these other places are charging, it's nuts. These folks right here took care of my family. They took care of my mother. I got to bring her home today. I love these folks

While I have never experienced a funeral here, I work with them indirectly, and listening to the way that Kim spoke with the family of someone who had just passed told me everything I needed to know about who they are. She took her time, asked questions and gave condolences, and was able to help a grieving man on Christmas Eve feel like he was cared for. Having lost a partner myself, I wish I would have had the team at Affinity working with me

Google Reviewer

If you need a funeral home that makes you feel like family, Affinity All Faith's Mortuary is the one you need to contact. When my wife passed away I asked them to take her into their care. Pam and her staff helped me make the arrangements and find a Pastor to do the service. Pastor Dale helped us with arranging the service that my four daughters and son wanted for closure. After the service, I was told that if I had any question's, that I could contact them and get answers. This showed me they care about you like family after the service was finished. My wife was the 8th family member that Affinity has done services for. Will not consider any other funeral home to do my service.

Cruz made the task of planning the unexpected plans for my daughter a lot easier. He helped figure out what we wanted the obituary to say, helped us find a church to hold her service and even did his best to keep everything done within the amount of money we had available. The compassion that he showed was so comforting during this horrible time for us!

This was my third time using Advantage (Dignity). Brandy Evans did a fantastic job. We had a little bump along the way but Brandy went above and beyond to correct it. They never rushed us even though we had late flights come in. They worked around our hiccups. Brandy allowed me to take control which is important to a control freak like myself. I am forever grateful and will always use Advantage (dignity). Thank you Brandy and team.

PPPPP I cannot thank Veronica and Michael at Cochran Mortuary & Crematory enough for the compassion and professionalism they showed during such a difficult time for my family. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel comforted and supported. Veronica was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive to every detail, making sure all of our questions were answered and that we felt at ease. Michael was equally thoughtful, guiding us through the process with care and respect. Their warmth, sincerity, and dedication made a very painful situation so much easier to manage. It was clear that they truly care about the families they serve. I am deeply grateful for their guidance and the dignity they brought to the entire experience. If you are ever in need of funeral services, I highly recommend Cochran Mortuary & Crematory, especially Veronica and Michael  they will treat you and your loved ones with the utmost compassion and respect.

Excellent customer service from Veronica Estrada! Really above and beyond from the whole team.

Google Reviewer

Our family decided to go with Cochran based on the initial phone call we had with them. We asked a lot of questions (of them and of the couple of other places we called as well) and Michael was the most professional, detail-oriented, attentive and respectful. And from there, the rest of the experience with Cochran upheld those standards. Veronica was super helpful and provided us with bilingual services and helped my family understand everything. For going through an emotionally painful time that no one ever wants to go through, this team made the process as smooth as it can possibly go and I can't recommend them enough. They weren't the cheapest of the places we called, but they're priced very fairly and the worry-free experience was SO worth it. Thank you both!

I can't thank Mike, Michael, Allison, and the entire staff enough for their incredible kindness and support during one of the most difficult times in my life. My Dad, who was my person, passed away a week ago, and they made the process not only manageable but truly beautiful. Their compassion, understanding, and flexibility allowed me the space to grieve while knowing my Dad and my family were being cared for with the utmost respect. They handled everything with such grace and professionalism. I give them my highest recommendation and deepest gratitude.

In a time of grief, Resthaven Mortuary lead the family through a comforting process of planning the final arrangements. Everything was discussed down to the last details of obituary, psalms and songs. Execution was flawless. The family could not have been happier. Mom received the funeral she had asked for, down to her last details. Cruz and the others at Resthaven were excellent to work with. I highly recommend.

Christopher & his team did a fantastic job making sure everything was perfect for my mother's funeral. I'm so glad we chose to use them. Their chapel was a beautiful place to hold the service. Thank you for all of the hard work you put in to making sure my mother's final wishes were carried out.

After Mom passed, we wanted to have a quick cremation service for her. After talking to Christopher on Wed, he was able to help us set that up that Sat, whereas another funeral home said it would take 10-12 days. We had lots of questions pop up along the way and the Elaine was able to explain our options and let us decide what to do. Reflection pointe was helpful and compassionate in our time of need, thank you so much, we really appreciate it.
