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.read more

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!read more

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!read more

I have to say Eric @ Green cremations was truly the best. He took the time to communicate even though it took extra time of his. In a sad,... tough time like this we all need the excellent customer service that he provided. The prices were very reasonable, and his concern for getting things done right was a testament to his geuine caring. If i could give 7 stars I would. You wont have a second thought about using his services. Well worth it. Do research if it makes you feel better like we did, but you will be back to him because of his professionalism.read more

I can not express my gratitude to Green Cremation. Eric and Melissa, worked meticulously to honor our wishes for the last rites rituals for... my nephew. They went above and beyond their call of duty, with timely communications and up-to date information regarding paperwork and flow of actions associated with cremation of our loved one. Even with delivery of his ashes to us followed by a personal phone call about our well being literally was beyond humane. During these trying times with restrictions in place and an unfortunate heartache due to loss of a young life, could not be handled any better. We are thankful, grateful and feel blessed. Additionally, even though it is a business they are in, but payment was never an issue, and charges are much bearable than other available choices.We wish them continued success with their healing.read more

I was very impressed with Melissa at Green Cremation! It was a very difficult time for me and my family, my brother’s remains were found in... Austin and I called Green Cremation and they were the answer to my prayers. Melissa took care of everything, from working with the city to get his remains, keeping me posted at the progress during this COVID epidemic, to advising me of the actual date and time she was going to actually do the cremation so we could honor him at that exact moment! I am in San Antonio and she hand delivered my brother to my doorstep! The love and courtesy she showed me and my family was above and beyond her obligation and I will forever be grateful!

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

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

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 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

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

Eric at Green Cremation Texas provided wonderful service in making an overwhelming process so much easier. My father's final resting place... was to be out of state, and Eric handled coordinating all of the various parts including destination funeral home, mortuary, airline, casket vendor, cemetery, etc., taking those to-do's off our hands so that we could focus on other matters. He responded immediately to calls/texts/email during the whole process and kept us continually updated. I would absolutely recommend Green Cremation Texas to anyone needing cremation or burial services.read more

Made contact and heard back from Eric later that afternoon. He's a fine listener. Asked compassionate questions. Never felt pressured. Secondary tipping point were the stellar reviews. Eric walked me through the engagement process easily, with grace and professionalism throughout. Please accept my unqualified endorsement for your service.

I highly recommend Green Cremation of Texas. My father passed away two weeks ago, and my mother was given a sheet with names of local... funeral homes and cremation services by the staff of the skilled nursing facility where my father had been a resident. Green Cremation Texas was one of the names listed.Melissa at Green Cremation Texas could not have been nicer, more respectful or more helpful during a very difficult time for my mother and my family. She went out of her way to answer our questions and to be there for my family. While price might not be the most important issue in a decision like this, the prices at GCT were also much lower than other Austin area funeral homes/cremation service companies.I will not hesitate to call Melissa if my family is faced with this situation in the future.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

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.

From the first phone call, the staff at Green Cremation Texas were so very wonderful. Melissa is the perfect balance of true care and... professionalism. I contacted Green Cremation before my father passed, and Melissa let me know the steps that we would need to take. So when I called to let her know he had died, we were prepared with the paperwork and everything went so smoothly. Melissa and her co-worker were remarkable, handling the collection of remains with tact and warmth. Letting go of my dad's earthly remains was easier because of them. They patiently answered my own and my mom's questions, ensuring we were ready and understood every step of the transport. Payment was simple and easy, with an itemized list accompanying the invoice, and several options for how to proceed with acquiring death certificates, receiving the cremains, etc... Honestly, I could continue to write about how continually impressed I have been with my family's experience working with Green Cremation, but I'll just close my review by saying that I cannot imagine anyone being able to do this difficult work any better than Melissa and her team at Green Cremation. I am grateful that they choose to serve their community in this way.read more

If you want environmentally conscious death care and/or a home funeral, Melissa is awesome. I had been following her on social media for... some time, and when my husband was in his last days on home hospice, I contacted Melissa and asked if she would be willing to take me on as a client. She responded very quickly, within a few hours, and gave me her cellphone number so I could message her when my husband died, anytime day or night.I had already done a lot of research on home funerals, natural burial, etc. so I was fairly clear on the basics of caring for my husband's body and natural burial sites in the Austin area, so Melissa didn't spend a lot of time on educating me about options, but I imagine she would go over options in more detail with anyone who wanted/needed that information. Melissa was super helpful in clarifying the legalities, taking care of paperwork and filing for death certificates, delivering extra cold packs (to cool the body) and the cardboard casket in time for the home wake so family/friends could write messages and decorate it. She kept in touch frequently through text messaging (less intrusive than voice calls) to send me updates, and to check to see if I needed anything. After the home wake, she arranged for transportation of the body (and casket) from home to her facility for refrigerated storage until the burial. Melissa helped facilitate the initial connection between me and the then-brand-new owner of Eloise Woods Natural Burial Park, and also worked behind the scenes with the new owner to coordinate delivery of the body to the burial site, and decorated the site with palm fronds. She stayed for the entire burial service (discreetly in the background) to make sure everything went smoothly.All in all, I'm so glad Melissa was available. She's friendly and down to earth, professional without being stuffy or formal, super conscientious, and knows her stuff. We wanted a home wake and green burial, and I'm so glad her services were available to help facilitate that. I didn't have to worry about legalities, transportation, etc., and could focus on taking care of my husband and my family.read more

She even went so far as to help me with some keepsake jewelry and a glass rose I wanted made.

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
