Direct Cremation Of Maine made what was a difficult time in our lives a very comforting experience. Amy was wonderful! I couldn't have asked for a more caring and helpful individual to guide us along the way. I feel she went above and beyond what one should expect and their services are very reasonably priced.

Even though we lost a loved one, Direct Cremation of Maine made the process seamless. I would highly recommend them and if the occasion arises again, I wouldn

Direct Cremation of Maine, and Amy who assisted us, made the process easy and less stressful than the local funeral home in Ellsworth made the process for my husband when his mother passed away in August. I will proudly recommend Direct Cremation of Maine to everyone.
