    I know well of Ed thru the many lovely stories Maureen would relate of their life together. What a fine man and what a great companion for Maureen and all their furr babies. It’s hard to believe he’s gone and I know he is greatly missed by all his beloved family members and friends and coworkers.

    Maureen and family….
    I am heartbroken for all of you. Ed was an amazing man that took care of others and was so much fun to be around. He was the life of the party at our Christmas parties and was always so happy when I frequented his office for therapy! Maureen…I think about you often and hope you and your family can remember all the fun times with Ed. Take care and know you are loved by many. Marilyn

    I’ve only known Ed for about a year and a half at work, but he was always so friendly and kind. He also saved me about a hundred times when my computer had problems. Such a good sense of humor. May he Rest In Peace!

    Maureen, my heart goes out to you during this time. Ed was my dearest friend and one of the kindest souls I’ve ever been privileged to know. I honestly can’t do justice to his memory with words alone but rather I can say with humility that it was an honor to have him in my life and I know all of his friends and family would say the same.

    Ed was always smiling. And genial. And we exchanged chatter about some course or other was taking. It is shocking to hear that one so young and full of life has left. I commend the family to peace and strength.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"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!!"
