    “My friend, thou art my friend, but how shall I make thee understand? My path is not thy path, yet together we walk, hand in hand.” you will be forever in my heart.

    We miss you, we love you- you were a great person we’ve been so privileged to have had in our life. You were so nice to Shelly, our daughter, and we appreciated the friendship you extended to us. We will be there Sat. To say goodbye. But it’s really to say we’ll see you later. You were so loved.

    Papa I am sorry that i couldn’t be there on the day you left or the day they laid you to rest. I was told about it and it sounded like one u deserved, (salutes you) I know that I will miss hearing ur back in the day stories and going to all the places you used to take me, miss ur jolly laugh that would fill the room, I know the last few years u were in pain but the pain is no more and though you’re not here anymore I know ur in a better place with everyone we know, missed and loved. Could you hug them and tell them hi for me. I always asked u to come fishing with me one day I know you were scared to death of going out to sea, but now there is nothing to fear so everytime I go out come with me. The other night I heard you’re voice as a was falling asleep couldn’t make it out though so come back and tell me again. I love you papa and miss you greatly. Jonathan Jenkins (aka Rocky)
    To all who showed up to the funeral of my grandfather thank you so much. Love you all

"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!!"
