We have nothing but great things to say about this organization. They assisted us in arranging a small service at their Niagara Falls location and also a church service. They even coordinated with the cemetery so everything could be done in one day as we have family members that live out of town.
If you are looking for a non ostentatious, worthy way of paying respects to a family member that has passed, reach out to Essentials and you won’t be disappointed.
Thanks Essentials!
Krystal is amazing! She made it all so easy and stress FREE when my mom passed away. Every detail was covered and taken care of
Recently I contacted Krystal to assist with my best friends. They could not praise Krystal enough.
Death is stressful and painful. It was so nice to have this amazing support
We were truly amazed with the quality of service that Krystal Riddell provided us right from our first conversation. She took care of everything... from dealing with the retirement home... the cremation process and the paper work required by the government.
Krystal's professionalism and caring demeanor made this experience as painless as possible and we are sincerely appreciative of her services to our family.
