"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"

I came to know Amitahba during his Ph.D. studies at the University of Houston. He was such a warm and personable human being, as well as a talented scientist. I am honored to have known him. I send my sympathies to those closest to him as I share in their sadness that we will not see the light in his eyes again. My heart hurts for his family and also for the many, many people in his personal and professional life impacted by his passing. He is deeply missed.
Mr. and Mrs. Bhakta and Masha. I wanted to express my sincerest condolences to you and to share just a few thoughts about your son/husband.
I had the honor of managing Amitabha during his tenure at Genentech and I want you to know that not only was he an incredible employee, he was an incredible person. I have not met many people in my lifetime as kind, considerate, smart and humble as Ami. I visited him in the hospital right after his surgery and his biggest concern was that he did not want his wife and parents to be stressed about his situation. Not once did I hear him utter a word about feeling sorry for himself. I am a better person for having known Amitabha and I am certain I will never forget him. May he rest in peace.
I will miss you, Mithun.
You were the best. A kind, generous, friendly, helping, polite person, a great athlete, adventurous, photographer, always energetic, always smiling, a brilliant mind and inspiration.
There were so many countless memories and happy moments with you from our childhood, college time and thereafter.
Wish we could go back in our childhood and play, enjoy together again. You will be always in my memories and heart.
Rest in peace my brother, my best friend.
Dear Masha and Family,
Amitabha was a student in the graduate program at UH that I administer. He was so bright, and such a kind and gentle spirit. He was so loved by his classmates and friends. For me, I was very proud of the jobs that he did able to do after training with us. I also was grateful that he always thought to say hello at scientific meetings and let me know about his progress. I am so very sad for him and you that his life was cut short. His memory will live in all who knew him and thought so highly of him.
Best to you,
Laura Frishman
My Amith, we did not talk for too many years. But you were an inspiration for me. Countless times, I told you that I was proud of you for many reasons. One of the best human beings, I had ever met in my life. Bright, kind, generous, caring, and loving. You barely said a “no” to me when I was expecting a “yes”.
I just found out that you passed almost two years ago. I just wanted o say that I am so grateful for the moments you gave me. Each of then a gift from you to me….I will always have you in my soul.
Un dia te dije que te adoraba y hoy te recuerdo que si te ADORE…
