Very responsive and caring during a tough time. A good alternative to the predatory funeral home industry if you are able to handle your own arrangements. Much, much, less expensive than those options.

My mother passed away recently and Green Cremations took care of her remains from the time of death to the time of her cremation. Marlena Gonzalez is compassionate and walks you through the process and the online forms. Green Cremations is affordable, respectful and courteous!

Green Cremation Texas took care of my mother’s cremation, and I would highly recommend their service. The person I was in contact with, Marleana Gonzales, explained all the details I needed in a calm and caring manner. She made a hard situation much easier to deal with.

When my grandmother passed away, my family and I wanted a burial that respected her traditional cultural and religious burial rights. Eric and his team were understanding, and transparent during the entire process. They swiftly recovered her remains from the hospital and were able to expedite her burial. It was a great sense of relief to know that she was taken care of and preserved her dignity till she was laid to rest. A big thank you to Eric and the entire team at Green Cremation Texas.... not just cremations you know.

Green Cremation Texas - central Austin was the most professional, receptive, efficient business I have dealt with in at least the last five years. They were such a blessing during this trying time. Marlaena Gonzales at the central Austin location was sooo professional, kind, and compassionate. I do not readily give good reviews, but this place was truly amazing.

These were the nicest people!! I had to cremate a friend who had no living relatives. I had the legal documents to assist me but all other funeral homes gave me a difficult time, NOT Green Cremations!! They were very patient especially Marlena!! I can't thank them enough.

Everything went smoothly. Marlaena did a good job of laying out expectations. There was one charge that we were not informed of ahead of time. That is the fee to pick up at home. They apologized for not informing us of that. The fee makes sense because they have to come out right away and they did. They were professional and so very sensitive to our grieving through out the entire process. Everything went smoothly and as expected.

I used Green Cremation for a close family member recently and was impressed with everything about the service. They were always responsive, kind, and helpful. They really made a sad situation so much easier. Also, I love that they're "eco friendly", and also very affordable. The affordable price allowed us to have a wonderful memorial. I highly recommend them, and Marlena was great to deal with.

The staff at Green Cremation of Texas were very kind, responsive, exceedingly respectful of my family and my loss. The process was done completely online. I only met them when I dropped off my burn and picked it back up later with my mom safely inside. They treated the filled urn with care, dignity, and grace. They helped me with paperwork and understanding the process. They were there to greet me curbside both times. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the unfortunate position of having lost a loved one.

We were treated with the upmost respect and kindness by Eric Neuhaus and the staff at Green Cremation.

From the first phone call until pickup day, Eric was a pleasant and understanding voice during our difficult time. He explained all of the processes and forms that were needed and worked with the Medical Examiner and County officials to finalize the process and care for our loved one.The online process for filling in information and sending payment was near flawless and very convenient for us as we are in San Antonio, making multiple trips to Austin unnecessary, and really streamlined the process and easing the burden on our family.The pickup of the remains was simple and easy. Curbside and safe during these odd times.Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better, more convenient process during this pandemic and difficult time for our family. Thanks to Eric for the wonderful support and outstanding customer service.

Ellen S.

01:02 20 Aug 21

My thanks to Eric Neuhaus for making the heartbreaking experience of losing a loved one less difficult. I had called several months earlier with some questions, and Eric was very thorough and responsive. When the time came that his services were needed, he didn't let us down. Everything went smoothly, and even though I called back several times as the situation evolved, he always took the time to speak with me and patiently take care of our needs.In addition to being caring and helping us through this tough time, Green Creations pricing is much more affordable than any other cremation service offers. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone.

During the time when I really wasn't in the mood to meet with people to make last arrangements, it was nice that Green Cremation allowed everything to be taken care of on line. Deciding which services to use was quick and easy.When the death occurred, they were notified and they very quickly arrived to take care of the body.A few days later, they notified me that the remains were ready for me to pick up. It was nice that there was no pressure to get the remains.If I need such services in the future, they will be at the top of my list for who to call.

Jenny T.

19:04 04 Aug 21

Losing a family member is so very difficult. Finding how to care for their remains shouldn't be. I searched through every single cremation service available in the Austin Metro area and Green Cremation beats them all hands down. No, really, they do. From the very start, Eric Neuhaus made us feel less stressed, confident, and comfortable with our decision in choosing Green Cremation. Their entire process is SUPER easy and done completely online. Green Cremation's price list is very straightforward, their prices are reasonable and, most importantly, there are no hidden fees or charges. Eric and his team communicate with you throughout the entire process and are always available to answer any questions. I never once felt like I was being a nuisance and they were always very sensitive to our family's pain. I've told my family that Green Cremation is the only place I feel comfortable handling my remains when the Good Lord calls me home.

The staff member that gave me my daughter’s ashes was so very professional, kind, and took her time with the process. She really was amazing; allowing me space to process and grieve while being supportive. She had me sit down,. She sat with me and went over everything, then just allowed me to talk before she placed my daughter’s ashes in the car for me.

Eric and the folks at Green Cremation were exemplary in every single way.Communication was constant and every aspect of the process was undertaken with total dignity and respect.When a loved one passes suddenly in another state, the process can be frustrating to say the least. Eric minimized the confusion and made sure every detail was addressed.The professionalism and care that Eric and staff displayed was more than appreciated, it has helped us tremendously in beginning the grieving process, after the sudden loss of our son.My family and I highly recommend Green Cremation.

When my brother died unexpectedly, I knew he had wanted to be created. However, he lived in Texas and I live in Virginia so I was somewhat at a loss of where to turn. I found Green Cremation online. They made everything so easy. Eric responded quickly to my initial call and help walk me through the process. All the paperwork was completed quickly online, including the paperwork for the desth certificate. There was no pressure or any attempt to "upsell". They told me what options were available and let me choose. They made every step of the process as stress free under the circumstances.

During such a depressing and emotional time in my life, Green Cremation was the least stressful part of laying my Father to rest. I had zero experience with losing an immediate family member and had no clue how the cremation process worked. Eric of Green Cremation was compassionate, professional and patient with the long list of questions I had. His team provided frequent status updates and their online platform for selecting the cremation options, urn type, death certificates, delivery method of ashes etc. is very easy even if you are not tech saavy. Eric even personally delivered my Father's ashes to my Mother's house, took the time to explain in detail all the documents I was receiving and encouraged me to talk through the emotions I was feeling upon receiving the urn. He is truly an Angel.I have already recommended Green Cremation to two friends that unfortunately had family members pass away recently and will continue to recommend their services any chance I get. Thank you so very, very much Green Cremation for all you do.

From Start to finish, GCTx was helpful, available, & in contact at all times. The urns are good pricing and right sizing for being interned in niche.The Death Certificates came in orderly manner. GXCTx contacted SSA & received a timely letter from them regarding changes. Each person I dealt with was very professional, respectful, reassuring, & courteous. Thank you, GCTx

When my mom passed away, they were clear on what they could do to help make this difficult time less stressful. They followed through with all tasks that they said they would do. They handled all the transport details and kept me informed. The delivery of the ashes was smooth and Eric was clear about how the process worked and what he was providing to me. Highly recommend them.

Recently my elderly mother passed away at rehab center. Thru one of our church members’ recommendation we turned to Green Cremation for handling my mother’s cremation. We had such a peace of mind leading by your organization throughout the whole process from picking up my mother’s remain to refrigerated location, selection of the cremation method, and clearly itemized charges and finally delivered the ashes in the urn we chose. Your staffs’ courteous attitude, caring of family’s emotions made us feel that you’re part of the family. We appreciated very much. I’m sure my mother will rest peace in heaven. I would be no hesitation to refer you to our friends for future services.

There aren't enough words to show our appreciation for Eric and Sara and how extraordinarily helpful and forthcoming they were during the entire funerary process. They were absolutely amazing, and my mom and I would have been lost without their guidance and patience when handling the sheer complexity surrounding my late father's death. My family is forever grateful for their services and for the gracious people at Green Cremation. It is without reservation that we highly recommend them for their compassion, professionalism, and knowledge in caring for your loved ones' needs.

My father was put on hospice care 2 weeks ago. I called several funeral homes to get pricing on a direct cremation. Initially, my family wanted to go with Green because of the price, but when we called back to confirm everything, suddenly there were extra fees. Over $200 more if he weighed over 200 pounds (he was 206 pounds) another $250 if he died in his house, which was NOT initially disclosed. How can you say youre transparent if youre suprising people with extra charges? On top of that, my brother drove by the facility and it's literally in a storage building. DO YOUR RESEARCH! SO GLAD WE DID OURS!

My husband and I live in South Carolina and his brother passed away in March in Austin, TX. With Covid, we could not travel to Texas for a funeral or to make any arrangements. We used Green Cremation Texas-Austin and were extremely happy with their services. Sara was great to work with long distance and everything was handled in a very professional manner. In my husbands' time of need, they were a great help.

Recently our family experienced a death and we contacted Green Cremation Texas, the Pflugerville branch. Eric was our point of contact. He was the consummate professional. Everything, including full costs, were disclosed on the front end. All arrangements were easy to make and they did exactly what they said they would do when they said they would do it. There was not a single burp anywhere in the process.Our family had a lot to deal with and it was great that the cremation, death certificate, obtaining the ashes, etc were all so easy to do via Greens. Eric did a superb job and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs their services. Their pricing is quite reasonable and their service and caring attitude can't be beat.

I was extremely distraught when my brother passed away. Eric was there for me every step of the way. The entire process took longer than expected due to Covid and the unexpected freeze. Eric was very kind and compassionate even when I wasn’t. I had to choose a funeral home in Austin from Louisiana on the spur of the moment and I chose a different one. After doing some research I called Green Cremation and they moved my brother immediately. The cost was much better, too. He walked me through the online process and answered all of my calls. I highly recommend Green Cremation due to my experience with them during this very sad time.

Very pleased with Green Cremation Texas. Had some confusion about transportation costs for the water process but that was resolved quickly and satisfactorily. The Snomageddon interfered with the normal schedule but the delays were unavoidable. A traditional funeral was not what my wife wanted and this has allowed us to process things at our own pace and plan for a future celebration when is is safer for people to gather.

Alexander M.

We will definitely recommend "Green Cremation Texas" to others. You brought us peace of mind & comfort. Thank you, for taking care of everything!

Very professional, Eric handled the creation process from start to finish. He thoroughly explained the process, and any costs involved in minute detail. There were no surprises, and considering the covid crisis AND a brutal winter storm at the time, that was very helpful. I highly recommend them. And the raku urns i chose are gorgeous art pieces.I’m very thankful I googled ‘green cremation Austin Texas area’ that night. They saved me a lot of funeral home drama and price gouging.

Our daughter passed away, very unexpectedly 12/2/20. Eric Neuhaus with Green Cremation is who helped us from start to finish during this incredibly difficult time. He was very professional, compassionate and patient with us throughout the whole process of getting things taken care of for our daughter. She lived in Austin TX and we live near Waco TX, so all of the planning was done via telephone or online. Their processes were very easy and Eric made himself available to us anytime we had questions or concerns. We were disappointed with the fact that we had to pick up her ashes and personal belongings "curbside" due to Covid19 restrictions, it was very impersonal, but beyond Eric's and Green's control. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is I purchased 3 locks of her hair at $50 ea. Per their website, it showed that they would each come in a nice glass tubular container and each lock would be tied with a small ribbon...this was not how I received them..the locks of hair were tied with a white string and each lock was in a small cardboard box---I contacted Eric and expressed how disappointed I was and he refunded the cost ($150) no questions asked. Thank you Eric for your all of your help, kindness and compassion during this extremely difficult time for our family.

Eric and Melissa were so wonderful with us during this incredibly heartbreaking and difficult time. He was extremely patient and compassionate. We actually received a list of dozens of funeral homes comparing prices, and Green Cremation was among the most reasonable. Some funeral homes take advantage of people in their most difficult times. Not the case here. Great people. Great company. Thank you, Eric and Melissa for easing this process for us.

I had not confirmed anything with Green Cremations, but was impressed with talking with Eric. My mother passed about 10:45pm and I was at a loss. I called the number Eric gave me and to my surprise at 11:15pm, he answered! After a brief conversation, he asked me to hold the line. He quickly came back and said his guy was on the way to get my mom's body. We are an hour away, he got here very quickly. Dan was warm, caring and carefully thorough in attending to every detail. Eric kept in touch with me by email and phone every step of the way. He even made picking up her ashes easier. This company is so impressive, so caring. I highly recommend them to anyone having to go through this. They deserve more than 5 stars.Thank you Green Cremations, you are the best!

Just by chance (or Divine Intervention), the night before my husband passed away in December, I learned about Green Cremation. A dear friend, who had used their services recently, told me about them and she was So Pleased. The moment I spoke to Eric on the phone, I felt comforted. All I had to do was put my trust in him, and he took care of the rest. It was such a Blessing during that terrible time.I hope more families will learn about their very economical, special service.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Green Cremation!

It’s hard under the circumstances of losing someone you love to even think about the processes involved, Green Cremation however made it so much easier to grieve and get things done at same time. Melissa went out of her way to make sure My loved one, my family and myself were able to understand the process and get to say goodbye to my beloved husband. I highly recommend Green Cremation, they really made sure we were taken care of and actually made us feel like we mattered and our feelings did too. Thank you Melissa and Green Cremation for all you’ve done and even continue to do for me. If you’ve made it this far to have to look up reviews please consider this company; I am so sorry for your loss(es) as well!

Melissa was very professional and available to answer all questions, even those indirectly related to her own services, before and after my mom passed. I honestly don’t know how we would have gotten anything done without her.

When my best friend died, we wanted to honor her with a natural burial. I am so thankful we found Melissa and were able to have a home vigil and green burial. This was the least stressful part of losing a loved one. Thank you, all, and pet your sweet Therapy Dog Kermit for me.

When we needed a funeral home, we knew we didnt want traditional or stuffy. Finding Green Cremation Texas was everything we didnt know we were looking for when grieving. No pressure arrangements, digital paperwork, and we were kept informed thru every step towards cremation. Thank you for your service and kind hearts.

This was the absolute best experience at the absolute worst time in my life. I lost my mom last week and reached out to Texas Green Cremations. I can’t possibly express what an amazing experience this was. So compassionate, professional and reasonably priced. Melissa took such good care of all the details. I can fully recommend them and will be prearranging for my husband and myself. Our local funeral home was going to cost over $3000.00 and we took care of everything for under $1000.00. Call them, you will not be sorry.

You never want to make this call but when you need to please call Melissa at Green Cremations. This was the most professional, compassionate and easy transaction. Everything from start to finish was handled with care. I truly couldn’t be more pleased. Will most likely prearrange for my husband and myself next.

I keep trying to write this review and I’m at a loss for words. Death takes the life out of everything around it, not just your loved one, and feeling “brain dead” while trying to plan how to take care of mom for the last time, it just feels like too much! Melissa has been the most present, patient, and intuitive funeral director I’ve ever met in a way that was organic and full of warmth. She let me be as involved in the process as I wanted to be even taking as much time needed to explain all my questions about the logistics and paperwork. It never felt like I was separated by some door and secrecy. I recommend Green Cremation Texas because they weren’t just a funeral home, they became my tribe. For the first time in my experience with death, I didn’t just get a funeral home that helped facilitate closer, I was given an experience that planted the seeds of healing. Thank you.

Green Cremation Texas helped us through a very difficult time. Specifically Melissa. She was there from start to finish throughout the whole process. Was very flexible with our timeline, and very thorough with the details and communicating with the funeral home. I couldn’t recommend these folks enough. She even checked in with us after the entire process was over and made sure everything went smoothly.We’re so glad we found Green Cremation Texas. I don’t know what we would have done otherwise. Thanks Melissa.

My daughter died VERY unexpectedly at 24 years old. So there i was trying to figure out what the heck just happened and the medical examiner wants to know if I've picked a funeral home yet. All i knew was that my daughter loved the environment so i started with Google and it led me to Melissa. I cannot stress enough how WONDERFUL this woman is. When i called her all my thoughts were a mess inside my head. I cried and rambled on about my daughter and about what i thought she would like and Melissa LISTENED to me. She then helped me with what i wanted to do for my daughter. She wasn't fazed at all when i wanted to change something, she just made it happen. Melissa always answered any questions i had either by texting me back or emailing me. I'm so glad i found Melissa and her services.

Melissa helped our family when we were in need. A funeral home that my extended family had chosen was overcharging and my family didn’t have that kind of money. Melissa came in and walked us through each step, informing us of all details, and never once making us feel like we were bothering her. She treated us like we were her family. My family will be using her services from now on. Thank you, Melissa!!

On May 19th, I had gotten a call from my sister in law telling me to fly immediately to Orlando (I am away for work). Halifax Health Hospice had let her know that my father was going to be passing soon and it was imperative that I fly in immediately - she wanted to contact me before hospice called me. We flew out that sameday to see my dad. My father passed away on Thursday May 23rd at 11:59 pm.

I have known about Melissa Unfred and her advocacy for a while. I wanted Melissa Unfred to be handling my father's post mortem care because she is translucent about her services, she is professional, and she went above and beyond to ensure that my father had the best possible treatment - that he had a dignified death.

My father was located in Deltona, Florida and she is in Austin, Texas - but that was of no concern to Melissa; she helped me even though she was out of state (I was located in Florida) and in a different time zone - she worked with my family and I on 24 hour call - all hours of the morning (especially since my father passed away so late in the evening).

She never upsold me on services that weren't needed and was very upfront about the costs. A lot of traditional funeral homes seem to take advantage of grief (trust me we did our research on pricing) during this time, Melissa did not. She treated my family and myself with dignity during this difficult time.

My family and I chose to have my father water cremated and I am eternally grateful that Melissa provides this service and orchestrated everything with timing and precision.

Her professionalism and courtesy are exemplary - I cannot express how she went above and beyond to ensure that communication was clear and precise. It is remarkable in this day and age that this service exists.
