Great place especially under the circumstances! Everyone was very helpful and sincere. They took care of my mom's ashes in Feb 2021 and my dad's ashes in Jan 2022! I hope I'm done coming here for awhile! Would definitely recommend!

I was truly not prepared for today. 3 years ago the county did my husband's ashes and he was fine sand. My son was accidently shot and killed. I expected his ashes to be the same they weren't anywhere near it. I wasn't even walked thru any process except paperwork. No discussion on anything. They weren't even clear with the pricing. They ordered the wrong pendant for the father and the last thing I wanted to see was the toetags for a white male when my son was clearly black. Mr Locke was very in depth when I received the call back but stuttered stremendously over the pendant deal. As Mr Locke says

I highly recommend using Cremation Services of Mid Florida. Recently, my father in law who was a Korean War Veteran passed away. The folks here, such as Tom and Cheryl made this such an easy experience. Not only did they explain the entire process, but were also very supportive. Tom went above and beyond and was able to schedule a funeral time with a military honor guard. I cannot thank these people enough for their support through such a difficult time!!!

I am happy to rate this business with 5 stars. I wish there were more. Such an amazing group of compassionate people! Tom was particularly helpful as my Mom was passing. No sales pitch, no pressure. Just an authentic desire to help those in need during one of the most difficult times in life. I could not recommend this company more highly. Thank you all so very much! And thank you, Tom, most of all!
