"Garrett was amazing during a very difficult time. He took care of the entire process and informed us of each step as it occurred. It was really nice not to have to worry. Thank you to Southwest for your compassion and respect."
Bethani D. · Springfield
"My husband's last wish was to be cremated. I called a couple of places about Southwest Cremation. The comments were nice. I filled out the form online and they called. They were really nice and helpful. Thank you for making it as painless as possible at the time. They have checked up on me and was happy that I had great support."
Laura R. · Springfield
"My wife recently passed away and it required a complicated procedure in order to bury her in the veteran's cemetery in another state far away. Garrett had to obtain an out of state burial permit involving state authorities and the local health Department and took some weeks for the bureaucracy to respond. Garrett persisted and completed this and other aspects of her internment recently and it went flawlessly. I recommend his services very highly."
