Simple, Affordable Cremation & Burial
Death is difficult. Making arrangements for your loved one shouldn't have to be.
Wise Choice was exactly the way you would hope for a Funeral Service to be. I was assisted by Nicole and she was so attentive and helpful. This is a time in your life when you feel lost to start with and for me it is the first time I have had to deal with a funeral. Nicole walked me through it step by step. Each option was discussed completely and each choice was provided to me with an exact dollar amount. I did not feel rushed or pushed to choose anything based on grief or money. Every option was straight forward. There were no hidden fees and no exorbitant fees. As you have probably guessed by now I highly recommend "A Wise Choice Cremation & Funeral Services". This is business you do not look forward to needing but it certainly is a business that you should know about and have an idea of who you would call if you have the need. I am very thankful Nicole and Wise Choice were there for me.
The dealings and services I received were kind and compassionate always very helpful. I have recommended Wise Choice to other family members
The name says it all...A Wise Choice. They were very helpful, knowledgeable, and took care of details. I would, and have, recommended them for cremation needs.
We had attended a funeral service there for a family member that was so touching that it was without a doubt that they would be who we would use if needed. Then my Father passed and they guided, helped, took all kinds of calls and questions. Could not have asked for a better place to handle it all. Thank you, NicholeTerry Jennings
Very kind, compassionate people who were very willing to help and do all they could for our family.
Nicole and Debbie were exceptional in not only taking the time with me that I needed, but also listening to stories of my parents without making me feel like we were just a transaction.We had used A Wise Choice a couple years ago and Nicole was kind enough to move my Dads ashes to a different container so that I could fly with him and my moms ashes. ( in addition to filling as many various mini urns from Amazon - as a courtesy)They also texted me a couple months later, just to see how I was doing and to let me know that they are available if I needed anything else.In such a time of sorrow and unknown processes, I couldn’t have asked for nicer people to make things just a little bit easier????
Excellent experience with A WiseChoice Funeral Home. You won't regret going with them.
Every step of the way, their kind and professional staff kept us informed and walked us through everything.
They helped with my dad's arrangements after his unexpected passing. They were very kind and patient and helpful answering all of my questions.
I want to recognize the excellent team at A Wise Choice. Everyone on the team is compassionate and helpful. The team puts the family first and makes the final arrangements as simple as possible during a time of grief. Frankly, I just cannot image a better experience. They have now helped me with both my father and 4 years later with my mother and in both cases they did an excellent job.
Wise Choice was very good. Gave me all the information I needed and answered all my questions. Very respectful also. Kept in touch with me even after I picked up my brothers ashes. Highly recommend.
From the moment that I contacted A Wise Choice, they were empathetic, caring, understanding, and patient. They took care of everything quickly. We had a private viewing and they made it really special for our family. My daughter looked beautiful. They were very informative and affordable with several different options. They have followed up several times since just to see how we're doing. The experience was wonderful even when the situation was so tragic. I highly recommend them if you ever need these types of services.
I am truly grateful for the experience we had with A Wise Choice Cremation and Funeral Services. From the moment we connected with the staff, we were impressed by their knowledge, patience, and professionalism. Marybeth's support and guidance were invaluable to my family and I. She went above and beyond to fulfill every request we had and walked us through each step of the process, which made it more bearable and less overwhelming. Knowing my daughter was in good hands eased my mind and brought my family much needed comfort. We are so appreciative of everyone at A Wise Choice for their time, effort, and exceptional service. Highly recommend!
Everyone I came in contact with were sympathetic yet professional about their business. Up front pricing with no surprises or hidden fees. I highly recommend this company to handle your loved ones final arrangements.
Everyone was so helpful to me as it was a sudden passing of my loved one and I was in Missouri. I called several Funeral Homes and A Wise Choice just felt right in my heart. I was so thankful I chose them as they answered all my questions and handled everything with grace and compassion.
It was a smooth, easy process with A Wise Choice, for both my mother 6 years ago and my father just months ago. I highly recommend them if you're in need of their services!!
I have never met more compassionate, loving people in my life!!! It was so hard losing my mother, yet everyone I met at A Wise Choice Cremation and Funeral services helped me - not just through the physical process but with emotional support beyond description. The words. Thank You, just don't cover it.
AWiseChoice was the best decision I made when it came to handling the death of my wife of 52 years. I don't know what I would have done without the help of Nichole, she was a godsend. She had the right personality of someone to talk to in my and my family's time of grief. During our conversation with her she brought closing to me and my family.
I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the kindness and compassion shown by the staff at the viewing. It truly meant a lot to all those involved. Thank you for your kindness
I normally don’t leave reviews but this one i had to. I lost my father tragically unexpectedly and walked in on him in his home, he was in the middle of the kitchen i grew up in and had been there for a little considering there was purge fluid everywhere. I’m 22 with three kids and thankfully all of them were in the car while i came in real quick to see my dad, enough of my story but that kinda gives you a little visual of my situation. My dad was my BEST FRIEND so when he died my world fell apart and i was so uneducated on what to do when someone passes, since i was responsible of my father i freaked out on where to go for his funeral/cremation, thankfully my husband took charge and chose this place and i just had to trust him. I am so glad that i did, everyone who works here is so so so very kind and supportive. A woman named Nicole really knows how to do her job, she let me be with my father and do a hand casting and didn’t even count that part as part as my time with him, he died a week before christmas and two weeks before my birthday and made sure i could pick up his ashes on my birthday, she went out of her way many times even off the clock to help any questions me or my husband had. Completely professional, sweet and overall a good person.A lot of people warned me and my husband to be careful with funeral homes because they will get you at your most vulnerable times and try to get as much $$ as possible but i didn’t have that problem with a wise choice they kept trying ways for me to save money. When i was there they kept giving my kids things to do and snacks.it’s very nice inside and doesn’t smell weird like most funeral homes, it felt welcoming and peaceful.I didn’t feel like i was getting jipped whatsoever! It doesn’t even stop there i had a woman named debbie text me privately and just send comforting messages to me, literally just reaching out to ask if im okay. like what?!? i barley had even my own blood ask if im okay!! Made me feel good knowing some people do have hearts. They have taken very good care of my dad, let me give him keepsakes, and i had a very difficult urn for them to put his remains in and that made it possible. I feel so comforted knowing my dad has been in good care with good people who aren’t just out there for the money. I honestly am going to recommend this place to others.i just had to make sure i wrote this review, this is a very good place to trust for someone you love. i could keep going on and on about this funeral home, i am very pleased with the experience ive had with them.
The only home I will consider for future needs. They are fast, efficient and make the whole process seamless. Marybeth has been above and beyond thus far in answering any and all questions and is beyond kind. They are incredibly affordable compared to other facilities.
My husband passed after a long, difficult journey starting with a serious stoke leaving him non verbal & advancing to vascular dementia over 13 years. As his wife & only caregiver, it was unexpected that he passed only a few months after I placed him in Memory Care. He was on hospice and all was so well handled and coordinated with Wise Choice. Nicole called and went over the process very gently, empathetically and clearly. Of course I was in shock and very emotional. Nicole set a meeting for two days later which our daughter (who came immediately from Texas with her husband) All was taken care of so easily and expediently along with documents I didn’t even know I would need. I couldn’t be happier or more confident using A Wise Choice for these arrangements. Can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t also feel comfortable knowing their loved one, and you, are being well taken care of ????
Caring and courteous. Reasonbly priced without any pressure to “upgrade”.
Great place. From the list At the hospital, they were the ones that were more affordable from anybody. Not only that but their service was exceptional. Nicole was very helpful and very understanding and comforting in a horrible moment. They know how to run their business. My dad’s urn turned out beautiful.
They were so kind in this extremely stuff time for me & my family. Would use them again
They were kind, patient and understanding during our time of grief. I would definitely use them again in the future when it is needed.
I had no knowledge of the process and work it takes when a loved one passes away. Nicole made this process as easy as possible for our family. I would recommend A Wise Choice, I felt they treated us the most caring and respectful way. No pressure at all and they were affordable compared to other places. We are very thankful.
A Wise Choice came to me via word of mouth. I reached out on a Saturday morning & by Saturday evening Savannah reached backed out. Once I was able to figure out my funds I reached out again, and A Wise Choice was able to pick up my deceased wife by evening time. A Wise Choice was able to make the process comfortable & even after I picked up my wife's ashes A Wise Choice still checked in on me during my grieving process.I seriously recommend A Wise Choice.
I want to be express the gratitude I have for A Wise Choice. My late father recently passed away and all while trying to scramble my thoughts and get things sorted out Nicole was there to assist us. I couldn’t have prayed for a better service without them. They were very much loving, kind, compassionate, and generous to the care they provided not only for myself and my family, but also my father who was in their care before his cremation. They assisted us with giving my father his military honors which was my biggest concern and they were very helpful to make the calls to make sure he received them. They were even helpful enough to give us a quote which later got reduced! If I could give them a 100star rating I would without hesitation. Thank you A Wise Choice for providing the best service possible!
The folks at A Wise Choice treat you and your loved one with respect and dignity. Nichole and Mary Beth were very professional and yet their gentle kindness made you as comfortable as possible throughout this difficult process.
At a time when I felt so sad… filled with grief… I found A Wise Choice… My Mom passed away February 8th…Mary Beth had so much compassion! She went above and beyond!! She truly takes time and is there for you!! I highly recommend A Wise Choice!
When my brother passed unexpectedly, not only was my world turned upside down, but I was overwhelmed as to who best to call for the next steps. The name alone, “A Wise Choice” drew me in because at that monent, I needed some wisdom. From the moment I called and Marybeth answered to making further arrangements with Nicole and Debbie following up and checking on me after I returned home, this family-owned and managed mortuary epitomize the highest degree of professionalism, compassion, understanding and support when you need it the most. I will always be grateful to them and highly recommend them to anyone who is going through the loss of a loved one.Mischelle Townsend, Pismo Beach, California
Marybeth was professional, and patient with us as we made it through this tough process. Not every funeral arrangement goes seamlessly, however Marybeth made every effort to. We could not have been happier with A Wise Choice. Affordable cremation options! Thank you again
In one of my families darkest hours we were given a rey of sunshine. Our husband/father passed away. Due to the unconditional love our parents have shown us our entire life they had taken care of their final arrangements. We were greeted with compassion, understanding and professionalism, not to mention MaryAnn going above and beyond! We thank you for all you did for us and the lives you will touch in the future with your true commitment to excellence.
I cannot express enough gratitude for the compassionate and professional care provided by Marybeth at Wise Choice Cremation & Funeral Home. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, Marybeth was a source of comfort and guidance after my mom's passing. My parents were originally contracted with a large corporate funeral home company that was anything but good. After contacting A Wise Choice Cremation & Funeral Services, Marybeth was able to reach out to the other company and bring my mom back into good hands. Not only did A Wise Choice alleviate the stress caused from the other company, they saved us over half the money the corporate business was charging. Every detail was handled with such respect and attention, making the process as smooth as possible with excellent communication through the entire process. Marybeth was incredibly supportive, showing true empathy and understanding in all our interactions. She took care of everything with a level of dignity and grace that we will never forget. I highly recommend A Wise Choice Cremation & Funeral Services to anyone in need of their services.
A Wise Choice was incredibly caring, supportive, knowledgeable and accommodating with my husband’s cremation. They helped us have a nice viewing ceremony prior to his cremation, which was very important to our family. I’m grateful there are people in the world like the ladies at A Wise Choice to help during difficult situations. Thank you.
They took really good care of us and were so kind, the staff answered any and all questions we had. The staff was very professional and personable. We would go back for sure.
Wonderful, caring service. I am truly happy that I chose Wisechoice. Marybeth was kind, professional and went out of her way for us.You can trust her.
I used A Wise Choice for my husband’s cremation and was given great care. It was such a difficult time and the whole group helped with every step along the path. I highly recommend A Wise Choice Cremation & Funeral Services.
Wise Choice is a place worth remembering when looking for a place to have your loved one cremated. The main reason is their attention to details, inexpensive choices and truly caring hearts. I had called many other funeral homes and this one was the perfect choice for my mom.They didn’t try to upsell me with expensive urns or other unnecessary things. Nicole helped me through the whole process and took care of all the details. She was very helpful and continued communication until it was time to take my mothers ashes home,, she also allowed me to bring my own smaller urns and jewelry and filled them up for me at the time of pick up. Having my mother die unexpectedly was hard enough to handle on its own and Nicole made my experience with them easy and fast. Thank you so much Nicole for all of your help and caring attitude.
They were so kind. They picked up my Mom on a weekend and took very good care of her. I highly recommend them to take care of your loved ones.
Wise Choice is a name you should remember, the main reason is their attention to details, inexpensive choices and truly caring hearts. They have an office on main street that’s not extravagant but very nicely put together. I had called a dozen other funeral homes and this one was the perfect choice for my mom.They didn’t try to sell me all the urns and jewelry that I’ve experienced in the past. Marybeth stayed very practical with me and made sure when i was going to take ashes home, all the paperwork was all done and the container is one I can open the top and reseal it . Having a mother die unexpectedly, she was instrumental in guiding me through the process .Thank you Marybeth for all you do.
Nicole and Mary Beth were both amazing to work with. I had no experience in dealing with a death in the family prior to this. They were very compassionate, responsive to all my questions and made the entire process from the viewing to cremation very seamless. Thank you to the staff for everything. Highly recommend this place.
Lovely people in times of greatest need..made everything simple and painless. Never want this to happen to anyone but, if it does, these folks were fantastic
I first contacted A Wise Choice on a weekend night at 10pm thinking I would have to wait until Monday morning to actually speak to anyone. We had just lost my nephew unexpectedly and my sister asked me to contact a few places to ask about cremation. I left a message with the answering service and within 15 minutes MaryBeth called me back. I checked out a few other places, but knew this was the place. It truly was a wise choice. Everyone there was so respectful and made what was such an unthinkably difficult time so much easier. My family and I agree that we will go back to them when the time comes that my 94 year old mother leaves us. Thank you so much to the entire staff for your kindness.
The service was very efficient and Savannah was wonderful and sensitive to our loss! They thought of everything that was needed.
Staff were amazing. From the young man who came for our dad in the middle of the night, who was so caring and patient, to the staff at the facility who helped us with his ceremony. There were very sensitive to our budget, and at no point did we feel pressured to spend more than we could.The building was very nice inside. Would highly recommend them.
My family requested specific details for my loved one. Every member of my family were satisfied. A Wise Choice was even able to complete their service date earlier than expected. Thank you for your service I will recommend you to everyone I know.
I have used the services of Wise Choice twice in the last three years and have been very impressed with the staff and services provided. During a difficult time they were profesdional, caring and did not push or do any up-selling that is unfortunately common in the industry. Highly recommend.
I cannot say enough good things about the people at a wise choice. They were caring and understanding. They did not push at all. They were wonderful. My only complaint was that my son was being cremated, and I got to see him which was so important . But they did nothing to smooth out the redness in his face. I would have liked to have seen the face of my son and not the face of my son who had been laying there and turned bright red. That is my only complaint, otherwise, everything about them was perfect. They were gentle and kind
Great customer service, very caring staff help explain the process to you. Follow up was a nice touch
We recently lost my mother and my Aunt within 2 months of each other. The folks at A Wise Choice helped make their final arraignments a less painful process.They were caring and sensitive throughout the whole ordeal. They were very easy to work with and always concerned with our feelings.
My mother passed away unexpectedly on a Sunday and we called at least 10 funeral homes which either no one answered or called back ! I finally called Wise choice, cremation and Funerals got to speak to an actual person and within an hour they picked up my mother from the funeral home. The staff is very kind and caring and very patient during the time of grief. Remains came back very quickly! I recommend them to anyone in need for a funeral or cremation with affordable options great staff and fast service!
They were all so exceptionally dedicated to my needs. Kind compassionate and offering words. I would recommend any one to go see them if you need their services. They won’t disappoint you and for your loved one
I wanted to thank Ms. Savannah for all her kindness and sensitivity for what i had to endure through in this tough time in December after having to travel from Texas to Arizona. I was not looking forward to what i had to go through but Savannah was so sweet and kind and made this heartache just a little less painful ..Thank you Savannah for everything..
My wife’s brother passed away unexpectedly in Arizona. The rest of his family live in Texas, so you can imagine the difficulty getting him home to us. Mary Beth specifically was so wonderful to work with. She made the process seamless from the beginning, with my mother in law as well. We are forever thankful for her and her dedication to our family during this hard time. If you are in the Arizona area, I highly recommend using A Wise Choice for your funeral and cremation needs.Thank you all so much.
Savanna, the director was so amazing in my process to finalize my grandfather’s life on earth. I absolutely recommend this facility. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and kind.
A Wise Choice was very helpful, considerate and reasonably priced when my mother passed away. I highly recommend them.
Have used twice, once 5 years ago and again a few months ago. Both experiences were excellent….Kind, compassionate, informative service. Have already made plans for myself through the same organization.
Outstanding service from Wise Choice. Extremely considerate and compassionate of my family and me.
I was very pleased with the services I received at A Wise Choice recently. They are very compassionate and sincere. The timelines I was given were upheld. They gave me everything I needed and things I didn't know I needed such as the certificate to travel with my husbands remains. I would recommend A Wise Choice for your funeral and cremation needs. They make this difficult process easy.
Savanna and the team were experts at the business, very knowledgeable and professional with notifying social security and providing required documentation; I was even sent a checklist of whom to notify following the death which was immensely helpful..likely the most helpful document.They are truly on call 24/7 and respond in kind. The reason (and only reason) I chose A Wise Choice is simply because they responded immediately. Other entities either ignored me or, ignored me!!The cost is reasonable for the service and follow through. I was worried my mom resided in Chandler and their location was Mesa and they would charge for transport but they took care of EVERYTHING at no additional cost.I highly recommend A Wise Choice for any need related to an expired loved one. I am directing my own loved ones to take care of myself in my own demise through this business.
There’s no way round the sadness of losing someone you love, and in those moments you need grounded capable people to help guide you through. A wise choice did just that, every step of the way. Kind thoughtful and professional. I am grateful for the way you looked after us. Paul Abbott.
We've used a wise choice three times in the past for our mother father and my husband we are very satisfied with their services we couldn't have made a better choice to go with your Wise choice
I visited with the staff when I came to pick up my brother’ s Urn. They were very professional yet personable and dedicated. One young woman told me her story about her aunt that inspired her to be a funeral director. It was her dream since she was a child!
My experience with Wise Choice was the BEST! Can’t say enough good things about these people. Brings a tear to my eye to write this. When my uncle passed they helped me with every step in the process- so understanding and comforting!
Five years ago, my husband and I planned our final wishes with A Wise Choice. We were very impressed with how friendly and professional everyone was. Not pushy at all. Just very helpful. Last month my husband passed away suddenly and A Wise Choice was there to take over. They were compassionate, and efficient. They knew exactly what his wishes were from our file, and they took charge when I needed someone to. They even checked up on me a couple times to make sure I was doing ok. I will never forget their kindness during the most difficult time in my life. Jan M
My Husband just passed away on the 11th of April. A friend of mine just lost her best friend and used Wise Choice for her Cremation. She said she was very happy with the way every thing was handled. So I got their number from her and called. They were very friendly and courteous to family and me. The prices were wonderful and the care they took with us in making all the arrangements put my mind and heart at ease. The after care has been wonderful. They put my Husbands ashes in different Urns that I provided for the family. I would suggest them to anyone in times of sorrow and heart break of your Loved one. Please visit Wise Choice Crematory before you check anyplace else.
No Need to Sacrifice Quality for Affordable Cremation Cost
