Even though a visit to a funeral home because you have lost your husband is one of the saddest days of your life, Sydney made it as easy as possible. She is so professional but also so compassionate at the same time.

I don't imagine when one walks into a mortuary/funeral home that it's even' in the back of your mind that 'luck' will find you there. But that is exactly what happened at Bucktrout of Williamsburg Virginia. We (my son and I) had found ourselves living in another city, not our own, but quite alone after the too-recent death of my husband and my son's dad.

Luck walked in with a terrific elegance and yet there was something so kind in his face that it reached his eyes, and all of a sudden we felt safe. Not from scams or poor quality service (the place is clean, lovely -- nay, beautiful -- but it was still a mortuary.) No the 'safety' came with the luck.

'Luck' was our particular Mortuary Director, Trevor Hutson. Whether we (my son and I) looked like we were still terribly sad (we were) and broken (on the verge) there was something in Trevor Hutson that said, no worries. Just no worries.

And there were none. As soon as he spoke, with a solemnity that was edged with sweetness, we sensed we were in the right place. It only got
better. I can only guess that most people can take an hour to get a sentence out because all one's thinking has become skewered, and questions that were so necessary to be asked, were no where to be found.

Trevor picked up on this immediately: he was obviously no stranger to broken hearts and unclear thoughts trying to be said in an understandable way. He never lost eye contact. He never looked away. He was the luck we needed so badly: with the death of a sweet, kind and terribly helpful man, the fates delivered a sweet, kind and unbelievably helpful man. He was able to answer anything we were sputtering to say.

I would be foolish to think that Bucktrout didn't have others like
Trevor. I would be foolish to believe that a place so clean and beautiful
didn't have the reputation of 'being the ONLY place in Williamsburg Virginia to utilize when death comes to one's house' -- Bucktrout would be
the place I would want even if I lived in France! I mean this: it was a full-service heart-mender. And for my son and I personally, most of that was
due to Trevor himself. He made every long minute of the process of saying goodbye lighter than we thought possible, and yet more dignified
than any experience i've had before. I didn't feel like a stranger in a strange and new place: i felt like I was in an extension of a family, my
family. I don't think it possible for me to recommend it more highly. And
perhaps luck will be with you as well, and Trevor Hutson will be the man
to see your situation through from beginning to -- well -- the end.

Justin Counts and the affordable price. Thanks to his service responsiveness and knowledge I believe I received more for our family during this difficult time of losing my father. Justin's help made things a lot easier. He went above and beyond for our family. I now intend to use Simply Creation for my homegoing someday and I plan on including this in my will.

Bucktrout Funeral Home provided excellent customer service during our difficult time when our mother passed away last August 29, 2021. We are so grateful of Sydney's Southard services. She explained everything to us clearly and very patient with us as well. On behalf of my siblings we HIGHLY RECOMMEND BUCKTROUT FOR YOUR FUNERAL NEEDS.

I rated Simply Cremation in that way due to the fact that they were prompt polite expressed sympathy and answered all of my questions. I want to recognize Ms. Christine Crews who was our funeral/cremation manager. She was excellent. She answered all of my questions and was extremely responsive via phone and email. One one occasion she actually called me outside of her working hours on a Saturday afternoon. She went above and beyond and it meant a great deal to my family and I.

I really appreciated being able to go online and choose the services my family wanted in advance. I felt comfortable with my choice of Simply Cremation so when my husband passed it was easy to let Hospice take it from there. From the first time I spoke with Christie Crews one of the directors I felt respected and cared for. Any questions I had were answered promptly and completely. This has been an extremely difficult time for me and Simply Cremation made the process very smooth and easy.

Even though the price was low Christie always promptly returned my phone calls and/or emails with answers to my questions. The hospital staff was slow to sign documents and Christie was on top of that issue and kept me informed. Despite my lack of computer knowledge Christie straightened out all of my mistakes making the process as easy as possible. I am grateful to her.

Simply Cremation and Justin handled my father's and my mother's remains and Justin did an outstanding job taking care of all the necessary details. I was totally at ease dealing with Justin both times and was treated with the utmost respect when both my father and mother passed. My dad died in a local hospital and my mom died at home and the Simply Cremation employees who came to pick up my mom were very respectful both of my mom and the family who were here the afternoon she passed.

Taking care of services from another state. From the first phone call with the arranger Justin Counts I felt like a load was lifted. He was kind compassionate knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I was getting the run around and high pressure sales tactics from the local funeral home that we had dealt with in the past and Justin put my mind at ease.

Services provided were excellent and the price was excellent. Nearest competitors price wasn't even in the ballpark. Pick up of the remains from the assisted living facility was timely and dignified. Assistance in getting the military honors was well done. Cremains were returned in a timely manner and all the necessary paperwork for the cemetery was provided. Christy answered any questions I had and was very helpful.

My brother and I live out of town. When you do not live local it is concerning of all that needs to be done where to turn and who to use. We were able to confer with hospice and with their recommendation we were able to pre-arrange online. When our father passed hospice called Simply Cremation and all was taken care of for us. In a difficult time we didn't have to worry about what needed to be done. We did all online however still received communication from Justin to put our minds at ease.
