They were very professional in handling my brother's cremation. Thank you Georgia Cremation Centers for making things so simple.
Gerald W. about Leaf Cremation, 5/13/2014
I met the folks at Georgia Cremation Centers on the worst day of my life. Many things about that day and the next few days are a blur, but what I do remember was how they took care of what many would consider insignificant details, how they honored my requests, and how they kept me informed along the way throughout the whole process. They were everything I needed them to be: patient, honest, punctual, compassionate, and caring. I recommend them without any reservation.
Jonathan C. about Leaf Cremation, 05/03/2014
Having to use the services of Georgia Cremation Services was my first experience of this kind. Everyone was so supportive, helpful and sincerely interested in helping me. This made such a difficult time so much easier. Absolutely no pressure, only reassurance that we could get this done with as little distress possible. I had to use their services over the phone and email. It was still amazingly personal and heartwarming. Thank you so much for everything you do for those of us during what is such a terrible time of life.
Maggie M. about Leaf Cremation, 06/15/2017
Bryan helped me with my brother's military honors service and he did a wonderful job. I didn't have to do anything but go to the cemetery wonderful caring people. Then I lost my sister 2 months later and Cris did a fabulous job. I am very grateful for their help.
Daniel H. about Leaf Cremation, 06/16/2017
My wife's mother had a very short and intense terminal illness and we were looking for a service that would perform her final wishes with the utmost care. We definitely found exactly what she wanted with Georgia Cremation Centers. From Cris who set up all the early arrangements, to Kenny and Edie who took her into their care after she passed, we were treated with the utmost respect and compassion we needed at that very vulnerable time. They were also very helpful in letting us know some things we would need to consider and do in those first few days after her passing. The price was a huge plus as well. Thanks for helping us in our time of need!
Tom W. about Leaf Cremation, 02/11/2017
They were very nice and let me spend time with my loved one
Tasha R. about Leaf Cremation, 02/10/2017
They were professional and very helpful when my father passed away suddenly. My mother and I were glad they helped us with cremation. I will continue to refer people to them.
Therese R. about Leaf Cremation, 01/05/2017
They were absolutely wonderful. They took the time to explain everything and ease my worries. They walked me through the process and offered sympathy and a shoulder to cry on. I was so impressed. I prepaid for my cremation through them.
Jerry W. about Leaf Cremation, 12/20/2016
Georgia Cremation Centers was very professional and sensitive to our grief. They were reasonably priced and performed in a timely manner. We were very satisfied and recommend their services.
Gabrielle R. about Leaf Cremation, 12/19/2016
Our father wanted to be cremated when he died. Georgia Cremation Centers made the process extremely easy at a difficult time. When they picked our father up, they made sure that we were ready to let him go, and gave us extra time to say goodbye. Every step of the way, they provided guidance and support to our family. His cremains were available in plenty of time for his funeral service. Bryan was our contact person. He was very courteous and answered all of my questons. He followed up with me to be sure I understood every step. Thank you so much for the wonderful care that you took.
Gene F. about Leaf Cremation, 12/19/2016
Thank you so much, I don't know what I would have done without ya'll. You handle everything and I did not have to worry about trying to take care of it myself. May God Bless!
Mike K. about Leaf Cremation, 12/17/2016
My partner had passed away and Georgia Cremation Centers was so kind and professional helping me deal with things during these trying times. They were very easy to work with and were always available to answer my questions.
Lisa H. about Leaf Cremation, 12/17/2016
Professionally handled, with ease, care and compassion.
Chris G. about Leaf Cremation, 12/15/2016
Wow I'm so impressed. What I couldn't see initially because of my grief is very clear to me now. The unexpected death of my father was overwhelming on top of that I needed to somehow get him to his birth place in Europe. From the start their service was outstanding, compassionate, patient and affordable. I had so many questions from is cremation OK in my dad's faith? all the way to how do I manage to send his Cremains overseas? The staff was friendly especially Kenny who had to do a lot of research for me and ultimately the whole event went very smoothly! Even though the service is affordable nothing is sacrificed as far as service and quality. I feel like I would have come undone if not for all the help from Kenny and his staff.
Philip W. about Leaf Cremation, 12/11/2016
Very nice service. Georgia Cremation Centers was compassionate, professional, and their quality service was reasonably priced for any budget.
Cathy H. about Leaf Cremation, 12/10/2016
Our daughter died unexpectedly in June, and the complete help we received from her arriving as a "Jane Doe' to picking up her ashes was not a total nightmare because of this company's understanding of the process and its kindness in suggesting solutions. Thank you.
John B. about Leaf Cremation, 10/05/2016
Extremely caring, helpful, professional and efficient. A compassionate group of people who helped us through a very tough time.
10/03/2016 about Leaf Cremation, Lee E.
I have nothing but the highest regard for the services Georgia Cremation Centers performed for my brother. They were absolutely professional and responsive without being intrusive, at a very traumatic time for my family.
Juanita C. about Leaf Cremation, 09/28/2016
I would like to thank Georgia Cremation Centers for their kindness and consideration when my Son passed. Kenny made a difficult time for me much easier as I reside in Florida. They were so helpful and handled everything for me in a caring way. I will be forever grateful.
Delores S. about Leaf Cremation, 09/27/2016
Very kind and helpful
Greg T. about Leaf Cremation, 09/28/2016
I live in Snellville and used Georgia Cremation Centers in Acworth for my brother's remains. They were great. Picked up the body from the hospital after midnight. No unexpected charges. Not hard to get too. Just off 75.
Richard W. about Leaf Cremation, 09/27/2016
They were very helpful, understanding, and professional.
Paula A. about Leaf Cremation, 09/27/2016
Wonderful, caring, compassionate people. They provided quick service and helped talk me through what I needed to do and what to expect. I really appreciated their sensitivity and low-pressure approach.
Zetta L. about Leaf Cremation, 09/24/2016
As an only child, suddenly losing my 90 year old mother, just two days before my Birthday, was totally devastating to me, to say the least. However, Kenny and the entire staff at Georgia Cremation Centers really helped me to get through this extremely difficult time in my life. First of all, Mike, the transport Driver, drove over 200 miles round trip, to transport my Mother from the Nursing Home in Macon, GA (where she transitioned over), to Georgia Cremation Centers in Acworth. He was very courteous, kind and professional. He assured me that they would handle my mother's remains with the utmost of dignity and respect. Kenny stayed in close contact with me throughout this process. He explained the entire cremation process to me, and he really helped to calm my anxiety and uncertainty. Several days later, when I drove to Acworth to pick up my mother's Cremains, I discovered that they also owned and operated a beautifully landscaped, full-service Cemetery, right there on the premises. It consisted of rolling hills, the lawn was very well manicured, and the gravesites were extremely clean and well maintained. So, whether you are in need of Cremation Services for your loved ones, or if you are in need of a full service traditional Cemetery burial, please do not hesitate contacting Georgia Cremation Centers to assist you and your family. They really did an outstanding job for me, and at just a moment's notice. They have totally earned all "Five Stars" from me!
Becky L. about Leaf Cremation, 09/21/2016
I lost my son due to a car accident on October 6th, 2015. I did not find out that he had passed until October 7th, 2015. He had no vehicle and no drivers license therefore he was sent to the Atlanta crime lab for identification purposes. Once they learned who he was everyone was telling me not to view my son, that he was so badly damaged and beyond recognition and i should not view him. I knew in my heart that i just had to see my son on this earth one last time even if it meant his body was destroyed. When we (my daughter and his sister) went to view his body we were prepared for the worst but got a BLESSING from God above. Georgia Cremation Centers had prepared his body for us and he had no makeup on and was like he was laying asleep. He had a smile on his face and this was not due to Georgia Cremation Centers but was God's plan to let me know my son was ok and home!!! Barry, Kenny, and Edie were so good to us and we THANKED them for allowing us to view my son and doing such a great job. When i went back to get Ben's ashes I was given a even better surprise. Barry's mother (Edie) said she had something for me. Then she took out Ben's cross that he had been wearing and all i could do was THANK GOD for my many many blessings and THANK her for giving me something so special and close to my heart. I will be forever grateful for the way they made me and my family feel the whole time during the loss of my son. THANK YOU GEORGIA CREMATION CENTERS
Michelle O. about Leaf Cremation, 09/21/2016
It is surreal to reach the point to contact someone to deal with the remains of a loved one who is at the end of their time here on earth. Georgia Cremation Centers made it all very easy. They collected all our information in advance so when the day came, they came and got Mom with ease. I will absolutely use them again because it was affordable and they handled absolutely everything - which is EXTREMELY helpful in such a horrible stress filled time.
Elizabeth S. about Leaf Cremation, 09/07/2016
When my father went on to be with the Lord it was one of the most difficult times in my life. Emotionally, I did not know what to do when someone passed, but Georgia Cremation Centers guided my husband and I through the entire process in such an empathetic and understanding way. I would highly recommend there services to anyone.
April W. about Leaf Cremation, 09/03/2016
Compassionate, straightforward, affordable. After having to handle final arrangements unexpectedly within 4 months for my uncle and then my father, their service was above and beyond what I received with the previous cremation service provider. They cost less and delivered my father's remains to my doorstep in very nice packaging. Thank you, Georgia Cremation Centers for making a terribly difficult time a bit easier.
Sue M. about Leaf Cremation, 08/20/2016
When I called Georgia Cremation Centers I knew my Mother was going to die within a few days. I wasn't really sure what the process was going to be as she was going to die at my house on hospice. Kenny took all the information and made it sound so simple. He was so calm, and that in turn helped me to remain calm. Mom died at 12:57 a few days later and the hospice nurse called Georgia Cremation Centers. I live all the way in Conyers, but they got here quickly to pick up her body. The 2 men who came to get her could not have been more respectful or careful with her remains. They treated her with dignity. They did not rush us and kept telling us to take all the time we needed. Although I try not to think about having the need to use a cremation center again anytime soon, when the need arises, I will definitely be using Georgia Cremation Centers.
Michelle G. about Leaf Cremation, 08/20/2016
I have nothing but good things to say about Georgia Cremation Centers. Barry whom handled my 16 year old son's cremation did a wonderful job. He is a very caring man. Then 3 weeks later when my mom died Kenny & Barry both did a wonderful job with my mom's cremation. I would not send anyone I know to any other place other than Georgia Cremation Centers.
Jean K. about Leaf Cremation, 08/16/2016
I have nothing but the highest praise for the service I received from Georgia Cremation Centers. My husband died unexpectedly at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, and while he had told me that he wished to be cremated, we had not made any arrangements. I found Georgia Cremation Centers online. Their price was very affordable and their service was flawless. Any contact that I had with their representatives was both compassionate and professional.
CJ B. about Leaf Cremation, 08/15/2016
In such a sad and fast paced end to my mother's life here on earth, it was a heart filled relief to work with these folks in such a time. You guys were so easy and concerned for our family's grief and need to hurry through this process. Thanks to them for all they did for our family.
Morna B. about Leaf Cremation, 08/14/2016
Truly a wonderful organization! They take great care of your family member and make sure you have everything you need. Everyone there was very nice and they answered any questions my sister and I had. I just can't say enough about the company and staff. You really made this easier for us. Thank you!, so much!
Neil D. about Leaf Cremation, 08/13/2016
Easy to deal with, very reasonably price. No pressure to buy extra stuff. Respectful and genuine. Recommended.
Lindy T. about Leaf Cremation, 08/12/2016
Thank you. I give you a five star for a very painless process during a very painful time in our families life. Thank you thank you thank you. I have referred to your company to several family and friends and they have decided to set things up with you.
Linda F. about Leaf Cremation, 06/01/2016
When my husband died, the service from Georgia Cremation Centers was very good. They were sensitive and easy to work with. I appreciated their help very much.
Sarah N. about Leaf Cremation, 01/07/2016
We lost our daughter in 2014. I have wanted to share my experience but it's been a painful one so I'm just now getting to it. Anyway, our pastor arranged for a cremation for us and donated $200 from the church fund to help cover some costs. Well aside from what Was donated from our church, my mom was handling all the paperwork and getting it all worked out so my husband and I could grieve. When she spoke with Georgia Cremation Centers, they explained that because we lost our baby and that they knew how painful it was they were going to wave all other costs. We ended up getting our entire service done for just that $200 and received a little silver heart urn with her name engraved on it. They were extremely kind and understanding. Thank you guys so much.
Wayne K. about Leaf Cremation, 01/06/2016
I can't say enough how much I appreciated the assistance from Kenny and Georgia Cremation Centers. During our difficult time, their assistance made things so much easier to deal with.
Josef V. about Leaf Cremation, 05/14/2015
I really appreciate all your help. You helped me and my aunt tremendously through a difficult time. You took care of my uncle and I appreciate that you didn't try to upsell and that your prices were incredibly reasonable. Thanks for all you did to make this difficult situation a little easier.
Michelle S. about Leaf Cremation, 05/13/2015
My experience with Georgia Cremation Centers has been professional, efficient, very polite, and extremely helpful during this time. Any question I had by e-mail was replied to quickly. Thank you GCC!
Chris C. about Leaf Cremation, 05/12/2015
I cannot express how truly grateful we are. In the most trying time of our lives you made the worst part absolutely seamless and very respectful. What else can we say but Thank You so very much!
Rebecca H. about Leaf Cremation, 05/12/2015
I was very pleased with the Georgia Cremation Centers. I would recommend them to to anyone who is need of this type service. They answered all my questions and handled everything in a dignified way which was comforting to me mentally and emotionally. Describe how everything would be handled in a timely time frame.
Lolita M. about Leaf Cremation, 05/11/2015
I was impressed with Georgia Cremation Centers and would highly recommend them. During such a difficult time for families, it is nice to know that an organization can provide a valuable service, provide excellent customer service, and give people a fair price. Most of all, their staff was respectful, kind, and very attentive with excellent follow-through. There were no unexpected or hidden fees from Georgia Cremation Centers and the fact that everything could be handled over the phone and by email saved us a lot of driving around during such a busy time. We're so glad we found this place. It saved us several thousand dollars over the exact same service offered by a prestigious funeral home. My uncle asked for a simple cremation and scattering, so it made no sense to pay the upcharge from the funeral home.
Elena A. about Leaf Cremation, 05/10/2017
When my mother passed away last month, I chose Georgia Cremation Centers to take care of the cremation services. They were supportive and professional at all times. Shane kept me up to date as to the status of the process. He was friendly and very professional throughout the whole process. My family is very pleased with Georgia Cremation Centers. Highly recommend them for cremation service of a love one.
Clarke J. about Leaf Cremation, 05/10/2015
Georgia Cremation Centers is tops in our book. We had two (2) deaths in our family this past year of 2014. Death is not something easy to deal with at anytime. Kenny and his team were so thoughtful, considerate and kind as we made arrangements for their service. The follow up and addressing details was excellent. My family is extremely happy that we used them and would recommend their services to all. Whoever reads this will not be disappointed.
Dennis L. about Leaf Cremation, 05/09/2015
Everyone was extremely helpful at a very difficult time. Since I had never had to handle funeral decisions before, I was totally lost, especially about the legal matters. Georgia Cremation Centers took me through every step, and handled the entire thing very smoothly and with compassion. And the price was very affordable.
Meredith N. about Leaf Cremation, 05/09/2015
Extremely happy with Georgia Cremation Centers. Professional, sincere, handled all the arrangements efficiently. The cost was quite competitive also. I would definitely recommend Georgia Cremation Centers.
Jean M. about Leaf Cremation, 01/08/2015
My husband was recently diagnosed with cancer and came home from the hospital under hospice care. We were told that we would have about 2 months. He died one week after coming home. This was a very difficult time, while being blessed that he did not suffer long, we had expected more time together. Georgia Cremation Centers was a blessing in that they showed compassion and understanding for our loss and were extremely professional and helpful in taking care of him. I don't know how I would have gotten through his death without their help. Wonderful team of people.
Ron M. about Leaf Cremation, 01/08/2015
Shane and Kenny were very professional and courteous for my mothers passing in June. From my initial contact throughout the entire process of grieving they were always there.
Gwynne M. about Leaf Cremation, 01/07/2015
I could not have asked for better service, more professional and compassionate assistance than I received during the time when my son died. Some people have the ability to plan for this step but we did not. I was so relieved to find GCC and to receive the kind of support and guidance that I did at this most difficult time. Everything was explained to me with patience and concern for how I was doing. I am so very grateful for this company and would highly recommend them to anyone in need.
Chad C. about Leaf Cremation, 01/07/2015
I cannot say enough good things about how professional and courteous GCC was when my father passed away very unexpectedly last month. I am extremely grateful of how genuine both Kenny & Shane were to my mother and brothers from the minute I spoke to them to the time they took my father away. I had brothers coming in from out of town and they made arrangements for them to come say their goodbyes before my dad was cremated. Thank you so much for making such a difficult time as painless as possible.
Steve Y. about Leaf Cremation, 04/03/2015
They made it so simple for me! I wanted to honor my mother's wishes to be cremated. As the primary care-giver for my mom, I had enough stress to deal with. The staff at Georgia Cremation Centers, and especially Kenny Miller, was so kind to lead me through the entire cremation protocol. Kenny answered all my questions and even answered the ones I hadn't thought of. This is a first class operation with 5 star service!
Justin U. about Leaf Cremation, 04/05/2014
This is a difficult time for all families to deal with but a bright spot during all this is how Kenny and the whole staff at Georgia Cremation Centers handled everything I recently went through. I never would have imagined using a phrase such as "good customer service" when dealing with death but they not only did everything in a timely manner, they explained everything and were always so kind no matter how many times I had to call back. I also encountered a very difficult county coroner who did everything he could to delay getting the death certificates signed since we decided against using his outrageous prices not to mention never once saying "sorry for your loss" but that is a different story. Kenny stayed on top of helping my family out and really showing he cared. The healing process over losing a loved one is never easy as many new obstacles come from it but Georgia Cremation Centers really helped us and now we can begin the healing process, thank you for everything and I recommend them to anyone who needs this type of service.
Dinah B. about Leaf Cremation, 01/18/2014
We lost both of our parents in one year and Kenny was great at Georgia Cremation Centers. The other crematory we used in Marietta for my father charged for every single thing and did not deliver. Georgia Cremation Centers was just as they said. Great technology and beautiful office. I would recommend them.
Ted H. about Leaf Cremation, 01/18/2014
We were among the first few families to use Georgia Cremation Centers for a memorial service and they handled the entire process with utmost professionalism and compassion. From finding the right plots to satisfy our needs with Mike to exploring all our pre-planning needs and expectations with Kenny and Clift to performing a beautiful service and burial. I feel that even in GCC's infancy they went well beyond the norm to accommodate us in every way. We will be GCC clients for life!
Nima G. about Leaf Cremation, 01/17/2014
The last thing you'd ever want to do is have to make funeral arrangements for a loved one; especially after having to fly in from out of state b/c of a sudden passing. Kenny and Shane were very professional and compassionate in my father's cremation process from taking him into their care from the medical examiner, to working with us on scheduling the viewing and cremation on a day so that traveling family could arrive to see dad one last time. They were even kind enough to hold my father's remains in their possession until I was ready to fly back home a number of days later. While you hope never to have to utilize a service like this, I can not say enough about how the whole process was handled in a dignified and professional manner for us in such a difficult time.
James C. about Leaf Cremation, 01/17/2014
Kenny and his team were very professional and caring throughout this difficult time. Our family felt they treated our loved one with respect and dignity throughout the entire process. They listened to our needs and addressed them promptly. Pricing was very clear and we experienced no hidden fees or surprises. It feels strange to write this -- but I would highly recommend Georgia Cremation Centers when you are in need.
Megan F. about Leaf Cremation, 01/16/2014
I can't say how much Kenny and the whole staff helped my family after my father passed away last fall. They were so supportive and professional, and sincerely "there for us" during all of the arrangements. They provided so much information, things I hadn't even thought off, I'm not sure without their help I would even have known where to start.
Lisa S. about Leaf Cremation, 01/16/2014
GCC helped me make the final arrangements for my mother in a dignified, sensitive and professional manner. They answered all my questions and multiple emails and reassured me throughout the whole process. What a blessing that the costs were reasonable! The staff maintained great communication with me until the entire process was finished and we had the death certificates and cremains delivered as promised. I have nothing but good things to say about the experience.
Nancy Z. about Leaf Cremation, 01/15/2015
My experience with Georgia Cremation Centers was a very positive one during a very stressful time. I wanted some of my two nieces ashes buried with my husband ashes. They came to the house and picked them up and then delivered all the ashes back to me to give to my minister. My husband died Thanksgiving week, which made everything more difficult to arrange, but Georgia Cremation Centers managed to get the obituary in the paper. The Death Certificates were delivered to me in a timely manner. Having planned many family funerals, this one went without a glitch and was handled very professionally.
Roger L. about Leaf Cremation, 01/15/2014
Kenny said they wanted to make everything as easy as possible for me when we had the first planning conversation. Georgia Cremation Centers did exactly that. I shopped around for the best price, got it, and received the best possible service too.
Ronald S. about Leaf Cremation, 01/14/2014
Rather short notice but everything was handled well. They offered great assistance with my wife's obituary and later offered to drive an hour to deliver my wife's ashes. The price was a plus. Couldn't be more pleased and would recommend. Thank you for helping me during a difficult time.
Elaine P. about Leaf Cremation, 01/14/2014
Angels in the face of sorrow. We had done our research and knew who we were going to call. We based our decision on courtesy and price. We had no idea how helpful and caring the staff was going to be. I am so grateful we had them handling and taking care of details.
William S. about Leaf Cremation, July 27, 2015
Fantastic! Caring! These are fine people. Highly recommend.
