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!
