My mother was only a day or two before death when I preplanned her cremation service. I contacted All Faith Cremation Service and spoke with Dan. He was very compassionate and understanding as he walked me through the process of the online planning and what to do when she did pass. I contacted him 2 days later, on a Saturday at midnight when she passed at home and he took the call and told me that my mother would be picked up soon. The staff that came were very professional and caring and took the time to explain what they would be doing to take her to the funeral home etc. There were no surprises with any of the services, as it was exactly as planned. Dan told me when she would be cremated and when she would be ready for pickup. As I am farther away he even offered to meet me with the cremains. I met him and his wife, when he met me with my mother's cremains and he again explained all the paperwork. My mothers cremains were delived in a nice wood box that can be displayed until burial

Dan was absolutely amazing! He took care of us in an emergency situation and he was on point! During the time of grieving and lack of preparedness, Dan took such a load off and handled every single detail! He went up and beyond. He is very compassionate and professional in one little package. Thank you Dan! You have no idea how much you blessed us with your support, kindness and thoroughness. Highly recommend.
