Erin Reece
The staff at Affordable Cremation Services were very kind, helpful, and understanding of our family’s specific needs. They worked with us over the phone and email since we live 3 hours away. I was also able to save several hundred dollars compared to the prices at the crematory closer to where our family member lived. Lastly, their catalog of urns has a good variety of choices and we are pleased with the beautiful urn when it arrived by mail.
