I had the best experience getting all the arrangements for my brother. Robert is the best.
My experience with All Boro Cremation was excellent. During such a difficult time, they were compassionate, respectful, and very professional. They explained everything clearly, were always available to answer questions, and handled everything with care and dignity. Their kindness and support truly made a hard situation a little easier. I highly recommend their services. Thank you Monica.
I called All Boro to have my mother cremated this week, and from start to finish the staff was amazing. Monica, Yvonne, and Rose answered every one of my questions and I had many. They were incredibly patient and truly went out of their way to make sure everything was handled with care. My mother didnt want a service, but we still wanted the chance to see her. They offered a simple ID viewing, and it was perfect exactly what my mother would have wanted. For something so devastating, I cant express how grateful I am for the compassion they showed. Robert, the funeral director, was also a true gem. They made sure I would have no issues traveling back to Florida with my mothers ashes, which brought me so much peace of mind. And the cost was an added relief during an already difficult time.
