Swift, knowledgeable, and professional they treated my mother's remains with reverence. They were also the cheapest out of several other places I called if that is a big concern to you.

Living out of state and having to take care of arrangements for my mom was going to be a challenge. After some research and talking with Marlaena, we felt very good about using Green Cremations. Marlaena was polite, professional and comforting to talk to. The process was very easy and trouble free. Thank you Marlaena for making this process go smoothly.

I recommend Green Cremation Texas and the water cremation process.Marlaena is calm, kind, and informative, staying in frequent communication with me throughout the process. Her business partners provided the same level of service with equivalent kindness and compassion. I am impressed with the business model.We were able to spend time with our loved one in a private and comfortable setting which was extremely important for me. Our requests were accommodated without question where possible. If they were not possible, we received an honest and appropriate explanation as well as alternative solutions.

They were very nice courteous and answered when needed something. She was very sweet and handled my mom with the upmost respect and care. Her ⚱️ looked gorgeous along with her lock of hair I got. Definitely recommend them as I was recommended when she did my aunt's cremation as well.

She were very professional and we really found them to be very helpful. She even allowed us to stay with my husband at least 45 minutes to to say goodbye to him and I thought that was very comforting . I would recommend them .And they were fantastic and although this was a process that was very hard to us she was very comforting to our family. So we would really recommend this crematoria because of the professionalism and the kindness and compassionate that she has shown to our family in this time of need. ❤️

She was always available to answer questions, anytime, anywhere.They did not need “Prepayment” to avail their services.I highly recommend this place if you ever need straight cremation services for you loved onesVery affordable, too.

Green Cremation was very helpful with handling my loved ones services. The transport arrived at the nursing home in about a hour and began the transfer to Austin. Marlaena Gonzales was extremely helpful with all the documents and other paperwork needed to handle the cremation. I have passed on the information about Green Cremations to others who have a loved one in similar situations to come.

Green Cremation Texas provided excellent service across the board, from the first communication via Facebook Messenger through shipping of the cremated remains. Marlaena always struck the perfect note between sensitive and professional; I received responses to all messages and e-mails within an hour or two; I never felt pressured to purchase any extra "bells and whistles"; and the service cost less than half that of other funeral homes contacted. I highly, highly recommend this company.

It was hard to pick a funeral home for my son who died out of state. Green Cremation fit in with my son's love of nature. Marlaena was sincere in her emails and calls. She answered my questions very quickly and nicely. She updated me on each procedure about what was about to happen, which was comforting. I would highly recommend Green Cremation.

GC provided prompt responses to all inquiries. The fully online application and e-signature capability made it a breeze to take care of the “paperwork” end of things. They were kind and considerate when they discussed the management of my family member’s remains. Excellent pricing as well. Thanks GC.

Marlaena and Elizabeth at Green Cremation took very good care of our family during a very difficult time. They made everything so easy and stress free.

During a very difficult time, Green Cremation Texas made things a little easier. We first used them for our mother when she died in December 2020 and then again for our father when he died in May 2022. In both cases they were responsive, professional and caring. They also have a wonderful selection of urns that allowed us to pick ones we felt would suit our parents -- a raku pottery urn for our mother, a wood crafted one for our father.

I've been fortunate never to have had to make arrangements for a family member but have had enough second hand exposure that I was absolutely dreading it as my father's life was winding down. Suffice to say, Green Cremation lived up to all the amazing reviews. They were always available whenever needed, kept communications simple and always compassionate, and have made a difficult process a straightforward and affordable matter. I did have some issues with the website when trying to select and pay for my father's cremation, but Marianna was very responsive when there were glitches. Thank you Green Creation, for making this an unexpectedly pleasant and easy experience among the many less than easy experiences to do a loved one's passing.

Marlaena and co. took great care of us from start to finish. We lost our dad in a tragic way and we were always treated with empathy, kindness, and care.

No hidden costs. Very upfront and answered all my questions, concerns ect..Very professional and courteous. I am glad to have been served by them. Only wish is I wanted a little more time with my loved one before pick up by funeral home... not their fault. I would have waited a little longer for them to pick up...Very pleased with the experience

Green Cremation was so amazing during such a hard time for my family. The way they handled my grandmother with such dignity and respect was so appreciated by our family. I would recommend anyone that unfortunately had to face losing a loved one to use Green Cremation. To know that it is one of the most eco friendly cremations and the choices they provide for your loved ones remains. I received a scatter tube covered is my grandmothers favorite flower…..Beautiful Roses, but I also will be planting two trees, and they even provided seeds to plant wildflowers in her memory. Although it was a very hard decision to make, Green Cremation provided the most amazing support. I am forever grateful to Marlaena and others ❤️

After reading numerous positive reviews about Green Cremation Texas, I chose to reach out to them and make all the necessary arrangements for my mother who recently passed from Alzheimer's. It turned out to be the perfect choice.I had phone conversations with Marlaena many times and she answered my numerous questions with such kindness, patience and compassion. The way she spoke to me always had a very calming effect and being as stressed and sad as I was, that was exactly what I needed. Marlaena walked me through the process in a way that simplified things. Giving her information about my mom over the phone and filling out a few online forms was really quite easy.Also, I must give recognition to Ron and Samantha, the two Green Cremation Texas employees who did the pickup and transport of my mother's body. They were so kind and respectful in the way they talked with me and my brother, answering various questions we had. Not once did we feel rushed. Before she was transported, we got to say our final goodbyes to our mom.Green Cremation Texas has my absolute highest recommendation. They came through in every possible way for our mom and our family. Kindness, compassion, respect and thoughtfulness... during a very difficult time of loss, Green Cremation Texas will come through for you.

It is hard to lose a loved one. This year I lost 2. My dad in April and immediately there after, my mom, on Mothers Day. My dad had pre-arranged all his plans. My mom, living in a nursing home, had not and I, being the only child remaining, ( my brother died years ago) was tasked with handling all the finals involved. She had already indicated to me she wanted to be cremated so I knew that much and nothing more. Mainly because I hadn’t seen it coming so I was unprepared. I couldn’t afford the conventional funeral home where she was transported so I had to get my search on while also being in a dazed and shocked state of mind. I hope this little explanation sets up the scene of understanding what I was going through. I hadn’t even gotten to the mourning point for losing dad and now mom? Whoa. Anyway I started calling around and thought I had discovered the people and company I would use but it turned out they were more concerned about getting as much money as they could before hand with their fakery sad voice which turned to anger when I said they wouldn’t be getting her insurance policy up front. Not to mention it was a debilitating small amount. It was just a burial plan. Their attitude scares me to say the least. So back to drawing board I had to go all the while stressing out that mom was laying in a lonely cold freezer draw somewhere. (That is a weird type of stress.) I googled the same sentence I had used before and scrolled the listings of “Cremation Co’s.” I can’t say how long I was staring at the page when I realized I wasn’t even reading just blank staring when a word caught my eye. The word was GREEN. I honed in that for some odd reason. GREEN CREMATIONS TEXAS. The next thing which caught my eye was, Call or TXT now. I clicked and was absolutely fascinated. The whole premise of this company is relaxing, inviting, easy and somehow comforting. A “green” cremation is just that. Environmentally friendly. It is also emotionally friendly. I can’t explain it but I just knew it had to be GreenCremationsTexas. Spiritually speaking it just makes sense. So I texted. And met Eric and Marlaena. I cannot tell you the depth of their true goodness. In the world we live in today we do things differently. We txt instead of call. We do our research first, read reviews and such but I can’t tell you how amazing it was to do business with GCT. No hassles. No hidden agenda. No slimy attempts to extract as much $$$ as possible. And most importantly no fakery. During a time of grieving you need simple, straightforward steps. And you will find it with GCT. Each and every step was modern and SO user friendly! What you are quoted is what you pay. No joke. Eric and Marlaena took care of everything. EVERYTHING. With all the grace, respect and condolences of a family. They are beautiful. All handled by phone calls or txting all arrangements done through email and online. Plain, simple and truly stress free. Which means a whole lot when you are going through it. Then to top it off you don’t have to drive anywhere to pick up anything, it is all done discreetly through the mail. Green Cremations Texas is beautiful. It feels right. It was an honor and a blessing to be served by Marlaena and the team. They are a true blessing to all the communities they serve. The process they have captured reflects the world we live in today and they do it with such finesse! Somehow they are able to take your hand and help you like a loving family member and that is how I feel about them.

When our son died in Austin his body was taken to the city morgue. We flew in 2 days later and got a hotel room so we could close out his apartment. We searched the web and found Green Cremation. They were great. We were able to handle the whole process, from choosing what we wanted to signing the legal documents to paying for the cremation, on a cell phone in our hotel room. We really appreciate the ease with which we were able take care of everything due to the great people at Green Cremation.

My parents were the most important people in the world for my family. The caring spirit that we received from Green Cremation for my beloved parents and for all of us, made this difficult time bearable. My dearest Father was a proud WWII veteran and Green Cremation honored him in the most respectful way. It meant the world to us. God bless you all for all that you did for our family. We will never forget.

I really feel from beginning to end Green Cremation did an exceptional job handling my sister's needs. From the first time I called and asked about their services because I was in another city than that which my sister passed, I knew they were the one I wanted to use. They handled all things from picking up my sister to handling the services we requested in a timely and professional manner. Was walked through the whole process. It felt like they held my hand and gave the comfort I needed through out and answered all questions. I would totally recommend them to anyone needing their services, plus I felt they were very affordable

Never thought I would be writing a review for my Father's services, but I have to say that Green Cremation Texas was very empathetic and caring for our time, emotions and provided the best care for my late dad. They kept the line of communication open and honest, which I appreciated. They answered all my questions with detail and outlined their processes from start to finish. My dad was returned to us with protection and care by the staff. Thank you for making sure my dad's wishes were fulfilled!

Thank you to Green Cremations for making the entire process easy. I liked the fact that everything was done online and I didn’t have to go in and make arrangements in person because it’s something so difficult to do during a time of loss. However, this doesn’t mean that the process is impersonal, that there is no one to help. You can send a text directly from the website, which I did and Marlaena replied right away and took care of everything. Thank you, Marlaena, for making this part easy, when there is nothing easy about losing a loved one.

My wife’s mother died a few weeks ago after being under the care of Hospice, she was 96 1/2. I have given Green Cremation 5 stars because they deserve it. They were caring,empathetic and reasonably priced, in a business that is known for taking $ advantage of people in their time of loss. Marlaena was exceptional. Her calm and respectful demeanor was comforting while helping us navigate the final resting state of my Mother in Law. Very knowledgeable and kind.

I really appreciated how easy Marlaena and Green Cremation were to work with. During such a stressful time it was a BIG deal that I could do everything by phone and online.

We were also comforted by their 'greeness' in everything they do!!

I am so grateful my children found Green Cremation Texas as we had no plans in place. It was my first experience handling the death of a loved one unexpectedly. From the very beginning they made it so easy for me and they were so caring. They were extremely patient with me. Also to find an Eco-conscious place was very important to my family and they filled that need!Marlaena and her staff were so compassionate and helpful at this difficult time. Marlaena guided me through everything with great professionalism and courtesy. The price was very reasonable too. The Urn I picked out from them is beautiful and was presented to me in a very special and caring way. I can’t say enough good things about Marlaena and Green Cremation Texas. Thank you for going above and beyond at such a difficult time.

The staff at Green Cremation were supportive and professional. They guided me through a daunting process that we all avoid. I am living in New York and my brother passed away in Austin Tx. They educated me about the process and helped me navigate systems with the medical examiners office. They also made it possible to pick an urn that would be perfect for my brother’s remains and kept me in the loop from beginning to the delivery of my brother’s remains to New York. The staff at Green Cremation we’re excellent and I was happy to have their help.

Green Cremation was great in taking care of my mother and being there for any questions I may have. They even reached out to check on me months later to make sure I’m okay in the grieving process and letting me know that they are there for anything they can help with. I appreciate their communication, assistance, and overall ease of the process. Highly recommended. Thank you, Green Cremation!

As with all of the other reviews of this nature, no one wants to be writing this review. We had a family member pass in December and the team at Green Cremation of Texas were incredibly caring, professional and communicative.They were able to help coordinate all of the required documents for death certificates, post an obituary, and of course provide marvelous care in regards to the cremation.In hard times like these it's so crucial to have a business like this be supportive like they were, and I cannot thank them enough.

When my son died in Austin, TX, we were very distraught. We live in PA and did not have any idea who to contact to care for him. My daughter found Green Cremation on the internet. We liked the way they perform the process, so we went with them. Everything was so easy for us. We had a contact with Green Cremation and everything was done on line. Every contact person at Green Cremation was so very kind. They truly treated me with the understanding of the grief I was experiencing. They kept me updated, gave me good recommendations for what I needed to do and kept in touch with me very often. They shipped my son's ashes to me. With all of the travel to Texas and settling his affairs, having Green Cremation in charge of his remains really was a godsend. I highly recommend Green Cremation. You will not be disappointed or overwhelmed during your time of need.

I called and talked to someone who explained the entire process to me with kindness and understanding. Throughout the entire process, whenever I called, I always spoke with the same person. Kindness, compassion, efficiency, and professionalism are words that define my experience with this company. Thank you for making a tough situation much easier.

Green Cremation Texas, and in particular, Marlaena Gonzales, was professional and very kind.

Timely and compassionate communication is so important when faced with a difficult situation, such as managing the logistics of loss.

Because of Covid-19, the entire process was remote, which was fine with us. Except of course, the removal of my husband's body from our home, which happened within a few hours (under 3) of his death.I selected the options I wanted from the website, and it was well within what was affordable to us. The process suited our small family perfectly, it left us free to experience the death of our loved one in our own way.

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.

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.
Dawn M.
13:23 10 Nov 21
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.

They were extremely considerate and very respectful. With communication of what was happening and how long it would take. It took a while cause the hospital wasn’t doing their job. But they did everything they could to move along with the process so my mom could come home. I’m very grateful for their service.

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. What was a most difficult time losing a loved one unexpectedly, Eric made easier by his attention to detail and making sure every question was addressed along the way. Our family is extremely grateful for the level of service we received throughout the process.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

She were very professional and we really found them to be very helpful. She even allowed us to stay with my husband at least 45 minutes to to say goodbye to him and I thought that was very comforting . I would recommend them .And they were fantastic and although this was a process that was very hard to us she was very comforting to our family. So we would really recommend this crematoria because of the professionalism and the kindness and compassionate that she has shown to our family in this time of need. ❤️

She was always available to answer questions, anytime, anywhere.They did not need “Prepayment” to avail their services.I highly recommend this place if you ever need straight cremation services for you loved onesVery affordable, too.

Green Cremation was very helpful with handling my loved ones services. The transport arrived at the nursing home in about a hour and began the transfer to Austin. Marlaena Gonzales was extremely helpful with all the documents and other paperwork needed to handle the cremation. I have passed on the information about Green Cremations to others who have a loved one in similar situations to come.

Green Cremation Texas provided excellent service across the board, from the first communication via Facebook Messenger through shipping of the cremated remains. Marlaena always struck the perfect note between sensitive and professional; I received responses to all messages and e-mails within an hour or two; I never felt pressured to purchase any extra "bells and whistles"; and the service cost less than half that of other funeral homes contacted. I highly, highly recommend this company.

It was hard to pick a funeral home for my son who died out of state. Green Cremation fit in with my son's love of nature. Marlaena was sincere in her emails and calls. She answered my questions very quickly and nicely. She updated me on each procedure about what was about to happen, which was comforting. I would highly recommend Green Cremation.

GC provided prompt responses to all inquiries. The fully online application and e-signature capability made it a breeze to take care of the “paperwork” end of things. They were kind and considerate when they discussed the management of my family member’s remains. Excellent pricing as well. Thanks GC.

During a very difficult time, Green Cremation Texas made things a little easier. We first used them for our mother when she died in December 2020 and then again for our father when he died in May 2022. In both cases they were responsive, professional and caring. They also have a wonderful selection of urns that allowed us to pick ones we felt would suit our parents -- a raku pottery urn for our mother, a wood crafted one for our father.

I've been fortunate never to have had to make arrangements for a family member but have had enough second hand exposure that I was absolutely dreading it as my father's life was winding down. Suffice to say, Green Cremation lived up to all the amazing reviews. They were always available whenever needed, kept communications simple and always compassionate, and have made a difficult process a straightforward and affordable matter. I did have some issues with the website when trying to select and pay for my father's cremation, but Marianna was very responsive when there were glitches. Thank you Green Creation, for making this an unexpectedly pleasant and easy experience among the many less than easy experiences to do a loved one's passing.

Marlaena and co. took great care of us from start to finish. We lost our dad in a tragic way and we were always treated with empathy, kindness, and care.

Only wish is I wanted a little more time with my loved one before pick up by funeral home... not their fault. I would have waited a little longer for them to pick up...Very pleased with the experience

Green Cremation was so amazing during such a hard time for my family. The way they handled my grandmother with such dignity and respect was so appreciated by our family. I would recommend anyone that unfortunately had to face losing a loved one to use Green Cremation. To know that it is one of the most eco friendly cremations and the choices they provide for your loved ones remains. I received a scatter tube covered is my grandmothers favorite flower…..Beautiful Roses, but I also will be planting two trees, and they even provided seeds to plant wildflowers in her memory. Although it was a very hard decision to make, Green Cremation provided the most amazing support. I am forever grateful to Marlaena and others ❤️

After reading numerous positive reviews about Green Cremation Texas, I chose to reach out to them and make all the necessary arrangements for my mother who recently passed from Alzheimer's. It turned out to be the perfect choice.I had phone conversations with Marlaena many times and she answered my numerous questions with such kindness, patience and compassion. The way she spoke to me always had a very calming effect and being as stressed and sad as I was, that was exactly what I needed. Marlaena walked me through the process in a way that simplified things. Giving her information about my mom over the phone and filling out a few online forms was really quite easy.Also, I must give recognition to Ron and Samantha, the two Green Cremation Texas employees who did the pickup and transport of my mother's body. They were so kind and respectful in the way they talked with me and my brother, answering various questions we had. Not once did we feel rushed. Before she was transported, we got to say our final goodbyes to our mom.Green Cremation Texas has my absolute highest recommendation. They came through in every possible way for our mom and our family. Kindness, compassion, respect and thoughtfulness... during a very difficult time of loss, Green Cremation Texas will come through for you.

It is hard to lose a loved one. This year I lost 2. My dad in April and immediately there after, my mom, on Mothers Day. My dad had pre-arranged all his plans. My mom, living in a nursing home, had not and I, being the only child remaining, ( my brother died years ago) was tasked with handling all the finals involved. She had already indicated to me she wanted to be cremated so I knew that much and nothing more. Mainly because I hadn’t seen it coming so I was unprepared. I couldn’t afford the conventional funeral home where she was transported so I had to get my search on while also being in a dazed and shocked state of mind. I hope this little explanation sets up the scene of understanding what I was going through. I hadn’t even gotten to the mourning point for losing dad and now mom? Whoa. Anyway I started calling around and thought I had discovered the people and company I would use but it turned out they were more concerned about getting as much money as they could before hand with their fakery sad voice which turned to anger when I said they wouldn’t be getting her insurance policy up front. Not to mention it was a debilitating small amount. It was just a burial plan. Their attitude scares me to say the least. So back to drawing board I had to go all the while stressing out that mom was laying in a lonely cold freezer draw somewhere. (That is a weird type of stress.) I googled the same sentence I had used before and scrolled the listings of “Cremation Co’s.” I can’t say how long I was staring at the page when I realized I wasn’t even reading just blank staring when a word caught my eye. The word was GREEN. I honed in that for some odd reason. GREEN CREMATIONS TEXAS. The next thing which caught my eye was, Call or TXT now. I clicked and was absolutely fascinated. The whole premise of this company is relaxing, inviting, easy and somehow comforting. A “green” cremation is just that. Environmentally friendly. It is also emotionally friendly. I can’t explain it but I just knew it had to be GreenCremationsTexas. Spiritually speaking it just makes sense. So I texted. And met Eric and Marlaena. I cannot tell you the depth of their true goodness. In the world we live in today we do things differently. We txt instead of call. We do our research first, read reviews and such but I can’t tell you how amazing it was to do business with GCT. No hassles. No hidden agenda. No slimy attempts to extract as much $$$ as possible. And most importantly no fakery. During a time of grieving you need simple, straightforward steps. And you will find it with GCT. Each and every step was modern and SO user friendly! What you are quoted is what you pay. No joke. Eric and Marlaena took care of everything. EVERYTHING. With all the grace, respect and condolences of a family. They are beautiful. All handled by phone calls or txting all arrangements done through email and online. Plain, simple and truly stress free. Which means a whole lot when you are going through it. Then to top it off you don’t have to drive anywhere to pick up anything, it is all done discreetly through the mail. Green Cremations Texas is beautiful. It feels right. It was an honor and a blessing to be served by Marlaena and the team. They are a true blessing to all the communities they serve. The process they have captured reflects the world we live in today and they do it with such finesse! Somehow they are able to take your hand and help you like a loving family member and that is how I feel about them.

When our son died in Austin his body was taken to the city morgue. We flew in 2 days later and got a hotel room so we could close out his apartment. We searched the web and found Green Cremation. They were great. We were able to handle the whole process, from choosing what we wanted to signing the legal documents to paying for the cremation, on a cell phone in our hotel room. We really appreciate the ease with which we were able take care of everything due to the great people at Green Cremation.

My parents were the most important people in the world for my family. The caring spirit that we received from Green Cremation for my beloved parents and for all of us, made this difficult time bearable. My dearest Father was a proud WWII veteran and Green Cremation honored him in the most respectful way. It meant the world to us. God bless you all for all that you did for our family. We will never forget.

I really feel from beginning to end Green Cremation did an exceptional job handling my sister's needs. From the first time I called and asked about their services because I was in another city than that which my sister passed, I knew they were the one I wanted to use. They handled all things from picking up my sister to handling the services we requested in a timely and professional manner. Was walked through the whole process. It felt like they held my hand and gave the comfort I needed through out and answered all questions.

Never thought I would be writing a review for my Father's services, but I have to say that Green Cremation Texas was very empathetic and caring for our time, emotions and provided the best care for my late dad. They kept the line of communication open and honest, which I appreciated. They answered all my questions with detail and outlined their processes from start to finish. My dad was returned to us with protection and care by the staff. Thank you for making sure my dad's wishes were fulfilled!

Thank you to Green Cremations for making the entire process easy. I liked the fact that everything was done online and I didn’t have to go in and make arrangements in person because it’s something so difficult to do during a time of loss. However, this doesn’t mean that the process is impersonal, that there is no one to help. You can send a text directly from the website, which I did and Marlaena replied right away and took care of everything. Thank you, Marlaena, for making this part easy, when there is nothing easy about losing a loved one.

My wife’s mother died a few weeks ago after being under the care of Hospice, she was 96 1/2. I have given Green Cremation 5 stars because they deserve it. They were caring,empathetic and reasonably priced, in a business that is known for taking $ advantage of people in their time of loss. Marlaena was exceptional. Her calm and respectful demeanor was comforting while helping us navigate the final resting state of my Mother in Law. Very knowledgeable and kind.

I am so grateful my children found Green Cremation Texas as we had no plans in place. It was my first experience handling the death of a loved one unexpectedly. From the very beginning they made it so easy for me and they were so caring. They were extremely patient with me. Also to find an Eco-conscious place was very important to my family and they filled that need!Marlaena and her staff were so compassionate and helpful at this difficult time. Marlaena guided me through everything with great professionalism and courtesy. The price was very reasonable too. The Urn I picked out from them is beautiful and was presented to me in a very special and caring way. I can’t say enough good things about Marlaena and Green Cremation Texas. Thank you for going above and beyond at such a difficult time.

The staff at Green Cremation were supportive and professional. They guided me through a daunting process that we all avoid. I am living in New York and my brother passed away in Austin Tx. They educated me about the process and helped me navigate systems with the medical examiners office. They also made it possible to pick an urn that would be perfect for my brother’s remains and kept me in the loop from beginning to the delivery of my brother’s remains to New York. The staff at Green Cremation we’re excellent and I was happy to have their help.

Green Cremation was great in taking care of my mother and being there for any questions I may have.

As with all of the other reviews of this nature, no one wants to be writing this review. We had a family member pass in December and the team at Green Cremation of Texas were incredibly caring, professional and communicative.They were able to help coordinate all of the required documents for death certificates, post an obituary, and of course provide marvelous care in regards to the cremation.In hard times like these it's so crucial to have a business like this be supportive like they were, and I cannot thank them enough.

When my son died in Austin, TX, we were very distraught. We live in PA and did not have any idea who to contact to care for him. My daughter found Green Cremation on the internet. We liked the way they perform the process, so we went with them. Everything was so easy for us. We had a contact with Green Cremation and everything was done on line. Every contact person at Green Cremation was so very kind. They truly treated me with the understanding of the grief I was experiencing. They kept me updated, gave me good recommendations for what I needed to do and kept in touch with me very often. They shipped my son's ashes to me. With all of the travel to Texas and settling his affairs, having Green Cremation in charge of his remains really was a godsend. I highly recommend Green Cremation. You will not be disappointed or overwhelmed during your time of need.

Green Cremation Texas, and in particular, Marlaena Gonzales, was professional and very kind.

Because of Covid-19, the entire process was remote, which was fine with us. Except of course, the removal of my husband's body from our home, which happened within a few hours (under 3) of his death.I selected the options I wanted from the website, and it was well within what was affordable to us. The process suited our small family perfectly, it left us free to experience the death of our loved one in our own way.

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.
Dawn M.
13:23 10 Nov 21
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.

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.

What was a most difficult time losing a loved one unexpectedly, Eric made easier by his attention to detail and making sure every question was addressed along the way. Our family is extremely grateful for the level of service we received throughout the process.

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.

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.

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.

Eric and his team were very professional and helpful during the funeral arrangement and natural burial of our father.

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.

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.

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.

I recommend them for their up front, no bs, approach! Laid it all out, with no fluffy sales pitch or pressure. I feel so much better knowing that my family will be taken care of professionally, as I was. One less thing to worry about. I am particularly thankful to Eric, who carefully and thoughtfully took me through the entire process. He was also very conscientious by providing follow-up to make sure I was satisfied.
