Our family has had the misfortune of using the services of Asheville Area Alternative Funeral and Cremation Services twice in less than three months. From the first contact we found staff to be very responsive, available and concerned. I've never had to make any kind of funeral arrangements before and no matter which staff member I had to deal with, each was courteous, kind and polite and answered all of our questions, but they were incredibly accommodating, kind and patient with the natural burial of my husband, who died suddenly.

Excellent staff and service, well organized. A pleasure to work with, especially when difficult circumstances. I highly recommend.
