It is often more devastating when they take their own life, as Jay did. At these times it is so comforting to work with compassionate and caring people, when making those final arrangements. I was blessed to have Tom and Adam work with me through this process. The have the experience and knowledge that is needed. As I was by myself taking care of this, they made sure I was ok, provided tissues and water, and made sure they explained every aspect of the process. If you are in need of any type of services, the staff at Coastal Cremations are the best choice. read less

I sat down with Cheryl and was discussing pre-need which I will be setting up for my family. The one thing I really liked about her is she seemed very genuine and there was no pressure. I was emotional as I was sitting with her and she had patience and I probably asked her the same questions three times and she took her time to explain everything to me thoroughly and how everything worked. I will definitely be recommending Cheryl to friends and family read less

He is a very polite, well mannered and well spoken gentleman who knows what he is doing. We appreciate all he did for us. I was impressed that he was handling everything by himself today. I did not feel like he neglected us in any way at all when he had to excuse himself to take care of a delivery or what ever was happening. Job well done Tom. Thank you for your kindness! This is a great place if your ever in need and do not want to have to think about every little detail, Tom will do that for you! read less

Tried looking into and couldn’t get onto the website so I just called the Jacksonville office and talked to Tom and he said that he would personally take care of us once my dad did end up passing which I thought was really nice.
When my dad did end up passing where he was at contacted coastal cremation and they came and got my dad and brought him I’m guessing to the facility and did what they needed to do and I contacted Tom and we set up a time to go over the paperwork.
The day we went in to go over paperwork and what not was obviously a hard day but Tom made it easy and showed us our options and was very reasonable with us as this is and was a hard time for us! Went today to pick up my dads urn and Tom carried him out to my car and buckled him in for me.
Would definitely recommend Coastal cremation for your needs when the time comes!! read less

The prices were extremely reasonable and about 1/2 the price of other places around EXCEPT the memorial cards and bookmarks we feel were over priced; but chose to pay for the convenience.
We did have some issues, however, David, the owner, called me ery quickly and personally to discuss the problems we had. He treated me with such compassion and respect. He took the time to discuss things with me and never rushed me off the phone. The things that happened, he explained are not their policy and he was saddened and disappointed they occurred. They are things he planned to address and handle personally.
Let me state, the issues that occurred had nothing to do with the handling of our loved one. That was all handled exceptionally well.
After speaking with David, I felt very happy with the results, the plan of action in rectifying the situation, and the fact they he came to my home personally to take care of things.
No matter where you go or what you do, nothing can be perfect. I feel that if something positive happens from a mistake than it is worth it. David's opinion was those things should NEVER have happened and I love that he expects his clients to receive top-notch care. I'm very pleased and will definitely recommend Coastal Cremations to others. read less
Great, professional and Mr. Blalock was very kind and took alot of time with me to explain my various burial options.
