After making an initial appointment and meeting with Simplicity staff, I decided to move forward with their services. After three messages left to return my phone calls, no one bothered to call. If I can't trust them to return a call to move forward, how on earth can I trust them with my final wishes?

I decided to utilize Simplicity's services since I could fill out all the paperwork online. It took quite a while to do so because you even have to fill out the death certificate with grandparents places of birth. Not their fault, but I filled out all the paperwork and got a confirmation email that I was all set. I even had to give my credit card. Then when the hospice service called them to come remove my dad's body, they wouldn't come because he died of COVID and he was in a nursing home. The very first thing you put on the paperwork is where your loved is located and I had

Trust the reviews you read, and attention to the way Simplicity responds. We're talking of the business of caring for our loved ones and our families after death and Simplicity simply doesn't get it. Go somewhere else.

Simplicity Cremation made this difficult chapter in our life a seamless transition. We were met with care and tenderness that made Deshanna and Jennifer feel like family helping us along the way with each difficult decision in this process. My mother-in-law and husband had nothing but praises for them for all their help. It really is the simple things in life that make all the difference, especially in times such as losing a loved one.
