On behalf of our entire family, I cannot praise the staff at the Niagara location enough. Kayleigh went over and above navigating us through an already difficult and painful time. The obituary she composed about my sister read as though she had known our beloved for years.Krystal was extremely kind to my niece and both these ladies were compassionate and empathetic. Highly recommend their services to anyone who has lost a loved one. <\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Not only is Krystal an exceptional and dedicated professional in her role, she also clearly understands the importance of being compassionate, patient and empathetic at a time when it\u2019s most needed. I am so thankful that my dad made the choice to partner with Essentials Cremation and Burial Services Inc. to fulfill his last wishes. On behalf of my Step-mom Sandra and our family, I want to sincerely thank Krystal and her team for helping us through a very difficult time. Krystal put us at ease by handling all the details exactly as my dad had requested and clearly explained all stepsof the process, confirming with each step that we were comfortable and understood what was happening . She gave us full confidence that we were in good hands. She is extremely responsive, and made herself fully available to us now and going forward, which brought a true sense of comfort. I can\u2019t say enough about Krystal and her team and I would highly recommend Essentials Cremation and Burial Services Inc. to anyone making decisions for themselves and their loved ones for their final disposition. <\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

It's easy to be skeptical when the reviews of any service are unanimously great -- but from my recent experience with Krystal and Essentials, the great reviews are well deserved. There was no attempt to promote a more elaborate and expensive ceremony, just a sensitive and pragmatic approach that I much appreciated. <\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Kayleigh and her staff could not have taken better care of us. Kayleigh honoured our sister Liz Beth with a wonderful obituary. She listened as we spoke about our sister and captured her essence in what she wrote. We were so pleased. Essentials Cremations took care of our every need. We were so impressed and satisified with the service and support provided. They made everything easier. We cannot thank them enough. <\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The care, compassion and patience our family received while going through an extremely difficult time was more than I can describe. Before, during and after my father in-laws passing Krystal and her team were exceptional! Thank you so much!! <\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

We are so happy we went with Essentials for my father's final wishes. Josephine was so helpful and kind every step of the way. They are knowledgeable, caring, and affordable. We will definitely be using them in the future as we felt so comfortable with the whole process through them. Thank you again for everything. <\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Krystal and her team are compassionate professionals who helped us greatly throughout the entire process of arranging a cremation. Krystal's experience, knowledge and care for her work, as well as her dedication to helping families, was on full display in all of our interactions. She is genuine and respectful, and truly wants to help people and their deceased loved ones through this difficult time. She worked tirelessly, including into evenings, to help support us with questions and arrangements. We could not recommend her services more, and are ever grateful for her kindness and guidance over the past days. <\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our recent experience at Essential Cremation & Burial was outstanding. This was our first experience and Krystal Riddell was very caring, respectful and compassionate. Her extensive knowledge helped us to make informed decisions for our loved one. Her aftercare session explained everything and more that will make the final details easier to complete.Thank you to Krystal and her entire team. Well done!Julie & Sandy <\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Highly recommend the kind, empathetic and professional service provided by Kayleigh Peterson and her team. Essentials Cremation & Burial Service includes so many imprtant details in taking care of government required paperwork etc. It\u2019s done verbally and also supported by paperwork as it is challenging to take this all in with the grief a family goes through. I\u2019m so grateful to Kayleigh for the patient and kind care she showed towards my father 💕 <\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Crystal was extremely kind when helping me plan my brothers celebration of life. The staff were there to answer any questions throughout the entire process and never made it seem rushed or too much. On the day, Kayleigh and Krystal were helpful and thoughtful. Many guests mentioned how tasteful the rooms were and it was the perfect size for 50ish people. I couldn't recommend their services more. Thank you for everything! <\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

It's a rare thing these days to find people who care so much about their work and also about your experience. Krystal and her team are truly amazing, kind, efficient humans. She helped with many aspects of my brother's passing that made our sad time a bit easier. They were also the most affordable option, in part because they care about helping people. I highly recommend her and her team to anyone. <\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

They took excellent care of my family member from the moment they passed away right through to the very end. They were fantastic at helping with the arrangements and providing us information. Krystal was very knowledgeable along with the rest of her staff. My family can't thank them enough for all that they did. <\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
