My dad was in hospice. They said I had to pick a mortuary. I said my dad was going to be cremated and they said I still had to pick a place. I looked around and spoke to a lot of people. In all honesty they were pretty much all the same. The prices varied a lot. Some were really cheap, but I got a bad vibe. Some were really expensive but I felt I was getting a big upsell. I called Ferrara on a Tuesday afternoon and the person actually took the time to speak to me like a human being. I came in the next day and they handled all the preparations and paperwork. I just wanted a cremation with no frills. They didn't push me to do more like some of the other places which I appreciated. Money is tight and my dad wouldn't want anything fancy. My dad passed a couple of days later and they came out right away. His ashes were ready afew days later. Very simple. The price was right as well.
Pros: Good price and service
Cons: Off the beaten path
