What a fantastic place. They were so helpful at the darkest time of my life and helped me make all the decisions. Just a fantastic caring group of beautiful and wonderful individuals. I can never thank them enough
Last week I got the worse call ever my sissy/cousin passed, I was devastated confused and lost, I live in Jersey and my family member lived in New York. I called so many different places in NY and was not satisfy with the way I was treated. Then I called here, wow!! The first 5 seconds of my conversation with Jennifer I knew this was the place. She was so kind and mostly so understanding and made me feel so much better she explained everything step by step, took all my calls and if she wasnt available at the time , I would leave a Message and she would call me back immediately to answer all my questions and concerns. I couldnt have picked a better place for my sissy/ cousin to be handled to be laid to rest peacefully. As she deserved . Thank you guys so much. And lastly the price was so reasonable thank you so much. dddOOO Jennifer you are a blessing &.

They allowed me to throw a dog in with my wife at no extra charge!!
I lost my Mother about seven years ago and called Crestwood Company. Peter the owner answered the phone directly. One can imagine the mental state you go into when you lose a loved one. When you hear someone on the other side of the line just say five simple words "We got it from here." And they show up so quickly and prepared. Your mind and emotions have an immediate sense of support. You can take a sigh of relief and know you're not alone, you have a team of support behind you. The rest of the arrangements went on easy and without any problem. Why do I tell you this short story? because I recently lost my father. Without hesitation Crestwood was my first phone call.
If Cremation is the choice that your loved one has chosen or has become your choice, Crestwood Direct Cremation is the place to go. The owner Peter De Luca and staff could not have made it more SIMPLE. What ever we spoke of in making these arrangements was EXACTLY what we received. The cremation was VERY affordable and was the TRUE price in which we were quoted. I highly recommend Crestwood Direct Cremation!
