Very compassionate, patient, and helpful. I could not recommend them more highly. Also, there was no pressure, guilt or attempt to upsell,... which unfortunately happens at other funeral homes. A wonderful experience at a very trying time.read more

One of the most difficult chapters in life is planning for and trying to respond to the death of a parent. My Dad's wishes were to be... cremated and in the last week of his life, I tried to find out how to honor and respect his wishes. I cannot speak highly enough of Melissa at Green Cremation Austin. She was compassionate, candid, and so very helpful. She and her staff were so kind on the day my Dad passed and helped make a difficult time go a bit easier. She responds quickly to calls, texts, and emails. Her dog is so sweet and therapeutic and helped my stress when the time came to receive my Dad's remains. I truly highly recommend.read more

We lost our daughter in a motorcycle accident. Our only other experiencewas with a local very expensive funeral home, they were so... uncaring, it was like buying a car. Didn't want to do that ever again, called around to two crematories here in Austin, that sounded like an assembly line. Found Green, loved Melissa, she was a good communicator, kind and she did a great job. First thought she would be a little more, but she gave us a much better deal on the urns we wanted. She treats your loved one like they are her loved one. Definitely recommend.read more

Melissa with Green Cremation was incredibly helpful and compassionate throughout the entire process. I had no idea what to look for when... we had to search for a funeral home after my father unexpectedly passed and we wanted to transport him home to Austin for the cremation. Their pricing and offerings are transparent and upfront, and they worked tirelessly to handle the burdens of this process and to be available for any questions. I’m very grateful that I entrusted the final care of my father in their hands.read more

Hospice Austin called Green Cremation from our home, once my mom had passed. One of Green's staff showed up to our home early in the... morning (about 6:00am) less than an hour of having been called. They were caring, respectful and handled my mom's body with care. The remaining arrangements were handled efficiently by email. I met someone at one of their offices on Reinli St to pick up the ashes without any problems. They made a painful process as painless as it could have been. I highly recommend them.read more

My grandmother died with no plans for her funeral other than a burial plot in Houston.Melissa worked with our needs and helped us navigate... what could have been a very expensive burial. With her help, we were able to get Granny from Austin to Houston and buried for under way less than any other funeral provider quoted us, plus our family was able to decorate the casket and have a small home vigil before burial. It was perfect and we could not have done it without her.read more

Before my father passed, he said for me to look into other places that may be more affordable. That is how I came across Green Cremation in... my search. I didn't know that funeral services could also be environmentally conscious. I gave a call to Melissa in the late evening to speak with her of their services. She was very nice and understanding and said to call her back with any further questions. After doing a few more calls to other funeral homes, I came right back to Green Cremation. Having my father pass was hard enough and Melissa, Kermit, and her team did an excellent job in ensuring that the paperwork and taking care of my father did not add any further stress. The most touching was sending Dan to pick-up my father's body at the hospital. Seton Hospital did a Veteran Salute and Dan turned out to be a veteran of the US Air Force. A veteran escorting and caring for a fallen veteran....If you want honest, affordable and caring people to take care of your loved ones, I highly recommend Melissa Unfred and Green Cremation.read more

My husband's sudden death was the worst day of my life so far. My sons and I had no idea how to handle his arrangements following his... passing. After checking on-line for recommendations, my son Mark called Green Cremation Texas, and we talked to Melissa from the company. She was kind, compassionate, and made the decision easier for us. She was available 24/7 by text, and returned texts and phone calls promptly. In addition, I was able to review documents and sign everything electronically, which was very helpful. I highly recommend this company.read more

My baby wasn't supposed to die. I wasn't supposed to be faced with choosing a funeral home for my firstborn at age 35. Yet... here I was.... We used google from my bed in the hospital, and my husband began the arduous task of reaching out to a few funeral homes for information. After a few calls, he seemed to struggle and took a break... he stated they felt cold on the phone, and emulated false empathy. Then, in that next round of calls, Melissa answered. From that first moment to the morning she brought the tiny Glass Orb containing our beautiful baby's cremated remains home was like dealing with a friend we had known for years. She even surprised us and had taken a casting of our darling's tiny foot... my husband often cradles it to his cheek when our heart's are aching.Thank you Melissa, Kermit (they have a therapy dog, he is the most soulful lovebug!), and Green Cremation Texas for being who we needed at the most heartbreaking times of our lives.read more

We were given a list of funeral homes by hospice from the Funeral Consumers Alliance.

I admit that when I was told I needed to select a funeral home for my Mother, I was completely lost. Just looking at the list was... overwhelming. I researched the list one by one and Green Cremation was the first and only one that did not have one, not one negative comment.And I have nothing but praise for them. I'm not sure Melissa ever sleeps. She responded to every email, phone call and text promptly with compassion. This is not an easy life event to go through. Melissa makes it as easy as it possibly can be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.read more

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.

She was the one I called at 12:00 midnight when my mother passed. Melissa also delivered my mother’s ashes personal to me. She communicates well and is efficient.

This is a difficult topic, but as we get older there are 2 things consistent, Death and Taxes. Needing to make arrangements to have our... bodies cremated was never a question, but finding a place that would take care of the final arrangements was. I searched numerous sites and options from Online to funeral homes. The cost was astronomical at other locations. I made contact with Green Cremation of Texas and the process was quick, the staff was caring and the cost was affordable. I will not be around to give you a review of the final outcome, but if it is anything like the prearrangement I have no doubt it will be easy for my family. Thank you Eric!read more

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.read more

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.read more

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.read more
