I was a devastated lost soul trying to maneuver my way through complicated arrangements due to my son's sudden passing.

I was told that I could not do anything at that time to just enjoy my mother and when she passed to call. She just wanted me off the phone basically stating it was her day off. So needless to say I wasn't prepared at the worst time in my life.

I immediately felt - this was the place. I made a pre-arrangement appointment as we were days away. Norma and Veronica were kind, gentle, patient and allowed light hearted memories to fill the room. After my father died, Marilyn and Amber (home removal) arrived at the absolute perfect time - not too fast, not too slow. These ladies - their kindness their gentle demeanor and efficiency - I will never forget. Highly recommend -5 stars. Thank you all for a lovely kind gentle experience. 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

We met with Scottie Garcia at a very difficult time for my siblings and I, and we were very pleased with how much easier he made this difficult and emotional process. We chose to have my father cremated so that we could transport his remains to Mexico City, but Coastal told us they can also arrange for a full burial and memorial service if that's what we wanted. If you are looking for a professional and reasonably priced organization to help you through this challenging time, give them a call. I highly recommend them. read less

She immediately emailed me with a list of information that I would need to provide for the death certificate. I was prepared for the day my Mother did die. Because of Cheryl, I felt a lot less pressure than if I had to research all the information right after my Mother died.
Cheryl and John were wonderful with all of our family members who contacted them. On a Saturday without warning my sister came to the location on Grand Blvd in New Port Richey. Cheryl arranged a viewing of the ashes for her and her husband. Now that is service particularly on a Saturday with no warning!
I recommend Coastal Cremation & Funeral Care to anyone seeking caring, compassionate and professional people like John and Cheryl during one of the most difficult times in life. read less
