“Would recommend Hughes Cremation and Alternative to anyone. Jon was the nicest kindest man you could ever meet. Thank you for what you did for my daughter as she said good bye to her father. Can't thank you enough for all you kindness at such a sad time.”

Heartfelt Reviews

The Hughes Funeral Alternatives LLC difference

“Kindest, most caring service a person could ever ask for. This family offers the greatest support imaginable when you are dealing with the most heart-wrenching thing you experience in this life. They cared for my precious mom like she was part of the family. And they are currently caring right now for my wonderful husband in the same way. I cannot even consider what this time in my life would be without them. Sending a💙 because my husbands favorite color was blue. If you have never researched the kind of service Hughes Funeral Alternatives at Hillcrest Abbey Cemetery offers, I encourage you to do so. It is truly an amazing process.”

“I can't say enough good things about this company, Jonathan was so caring and went above and beyond for us and our family. Obviously you never want to have a loss, but when you do it's so comforting to know that your loved one is being taken care of. We went with the flameless cremation and I think it was the right choice.”

“I would highly recommend Hughes Funeral Alternatives to anyone who has the unfortunate task of planning a funeral or memorial service for their loved one. My mother passed away in April and John made the process so simple and less overwhelming. He was open to all of our ideas, kind, & considerate. He helped me plan the perfect send off for her that was both beautiful and unique to her. I can't thank him enough.”

“It honestly would take too much space to express what a blessing Jon and his wife and their team are to my family. I wanted aquamation for my mom, like I had had for my dad a few years ago. Hughes Funeral Alternatives is amazing. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an alternative to tradition cremation. They offer compassionate, professional service and take the utmost care of your loved one and the needs of the family. Contact Jon and his team for information about this process. They can help you make the right decisions.”
