Yelp Review-Northwest Highway
5 stars
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.

I met Jerry in 1973 when I went to work for his firm, EDI. He was my boss and I loved him... what a generous, funny and intelligent guy he was. I will miss him a lot!

Jerry, my friend for 52 years, and business associate for many of those years. You are one of a kind and the best. I will always miss you, but know you are now with the Lord and will be exhibiting your wonderful smile and sharing your wit forever.

Jane and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Jerry passing. Jerry was a very special gentleman. He was my boss but also my friend. We left St. Louis many years ago but Jerry remained a friend that I thought of often. Lots of great memories! Kathy
