Jessica & Ellie were the two ladies I had the pleasure of speaking with, and they were both so personal, compassionate, and incredibly sweet. This was my first time ever having to deal with a funeral home, and honestly, I had no idea what to expect. They made an incredibly difficult experience feel a little easier and made me feel completely comfortable knowing they were caring for and handling my baby with such gentleness and respect. I will forever be grateful for the kindness and compassion they showed during such a heartbreaking time. Thank you, Jessica & Ellie, for treating my baby with so much love and care. ❤️

Ascend was the right choice during a difficult time. Most places take advantage of a person’s emotional situation, Ascend did not. They are very affordable with multiple options and most importantly no hidden fees. They were extremely compassionate, respectful and easy to work with. Highly recommended.

Ascend cremations went above and beyond! They answered every question we had and communication was excellent. Thank you so much for handling my dad with such care. Thank you Valerie and Ellie for your patience as we had no idea what we were doing.

Ascend Cremations was just top notch helping us with arrangements for our loved one. They are low key, very professional and never pushy. Their package prices were very good, too. They were also excellant communicating both by phone and on line. Good experience for us during this sad time.

Simple, quick, no hassle. We just needed a cheap and easy with no frills cremation. I spoke with several others who pushed big packages with a bunch of things we didn't want or need followed by so many calls it was annoying. Ascend had other options and packages available but listened to what I wanted, didn't try to pressure me or harass me with calls and emails, and they were by far the easiest to deal with. Took me maybe 10 minutes to review and sign everything and was done. They took care of all the permits and death certificate as well.

One has to possess a unique amount of passion, consideration and empathy to be in this business. A cousin, whom I was not close to, recently passed. Valerie, Ellie and thier staff were patient, assisting me WORKING BACKWARDS how my cousin arrived at their location: county coroner, where he passed, hospice, and an assumed power of attorney; sometimes calling and visiting several times in one day. Prior to departing for a previous planned mini vacation, I thought it a good idea to view the body... as there were so many variables. That could have been any schmuck off the street. They pulled the body out of the refrigerator, and had him presented with a white rose laying on his chest. I express my sincerest gratitude for the assistance, Ascend Cremations provided. Sincerely, Gregg J. Popovec
