Yelp Review-Northwest Highway

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.

Rose, Please accept our condolences. Ralph was a good friend and a great help to me when I was Grand Knight at St Ann's council. I really appreciated his help during his many years as a member of the Knights of Columbus. I will remember him as a good friend--even though he was a Cowboy's fan.! Regards, Paul Bladl

Ralph made a powerful contribution to our program to help the village of Boileau in Haiti become self-sustaining. He went to Haiti with us on several trips to achieve a better understanding of what was needed and how well programs were working. His combination of compassion and wit and energy and practical assessment was invaluable. We will miss him, but he has already left his mark on the lives of hundreds of Haitian villagers. His impact will live on. Also, he will remain a vital part of our organization. He helped shape our structure and strategy as well as the successful application of 501(c)(3) status. But mostly, we enjoyed his presence. We will miss him, even as the marks of his help stay with us. Mike Frost, Director, Haitian Pilgrims
