Essentials Cremation and Burial Services Inc.

I would like to thank Krystal and her team for making this part of the funeral process as easy as possible. Everyone at Essential Cremation were very professional and I would highly recommend their services. If anyone has not been through this process before it can be a extremely stressful time with planning arrangements and finalizing paperwork. Krystal and her team looked after all this and provided after care services to make sure that required documentation was filed with all the required organizations.

Beyond 5 stars. In our time of mourning Krystal, Nicola and the entire Essentials team was compassionate and beyond accommodating through the whole process. Unbelievably accommodating. They were reachable and responsive literally all hours of the night, weekends and even Christmas Day. You will simply not find better service elsewhere. Very knowledgeable and will even take care of the things you wouldn't think of needing. Krystal - I wish you and your team the best. Your service and friendship were absolutely perfect

We had a situation and we were blessed for this. Very passionate, quick and thoughtful. Closure i needed. I am very thankful we met Crystal and definitely recommend her services. Crowe family.

Testimonial – Essentials

The day the hospital notified us that my father was being placed in palliative care and that my family needed to start making arrangements for once he passed, I had googled funeral homes in Niagara Falls and stumbled across the website for Essentials. Having never had to go through the process of making such arrangements or even really knowing what I should be doing, I was impressed with both the services Essentials offered as well as the family testimonials I had read on their site. It was not until that night when I had a chance to speak to my mother that we realized without knowing it that we had both found the same funeral home and had decided to use same, feeling that they would be the best fit for our family.

My father passed on August 19, 2020 and my husband contacted Essentials to assist in removing my father’s remains from the hospital as with the pandemic the hospital was very short on space, and were insistent that his remains be removed promptly. Hannah contacted us and we were very impressed with how quickly they arranged to take possession of my father’s remains, helped us to make arrangements and assisted in the preparation and publishing of the obituary to their site. Due to the pandemic, we were unsure if we would be able to have a viewing before cremation took place but Essentials was able to accommodate us and the service was beautiful, down to the smallest details such as playing my father’s favorite band during the service.

Their warmth, compassion, integrity and the way they personalized my father’s service especially during these uncertain times went way above and beyond expectation and we are incredibly thankful for the team at Essentials.

I would highly recommend Essentials Cremation and Burial Services Inc.

My experience with Essential Cremation and Burial Services has been outstanding. Krystal was very passionate and efficient. From the moment she picked up the phone to beginning the process to the final steps. She assisted me making this more of a celebration of my father's life with honoring the upmost care and compassion. Losing someone is not easy, especially when they had to journey back home. Krystal and her crew allowed me to enjoy my last moments with him comfortably.

Thank you very much for everything.
