Genesis Cremation and Funeral Services

never ever would i recommend genesis cremation and funeral services. Unfortunately there are times when you are not next of kin and even though the next of kin authorized cremation they drop off the face of the earth. I have lived with and loved this man for 14 years. Three non-​existent kids are required to sign authorization papers but after that they wash their hands of it. I have been the only one in contact with Ms Bryant and she loves to keep reminding me that Im not the next of kin. As I keep reminding her I am the only one who calls. I found out that the death certificate was indeed issued. She claims she doesnt know. I warn you please dont use this facility unless you like being jerked around.

If you are looking for simple cremation help — Genesis is a great choice. Francine was extremely helpful, kind, and professional. She is very knowledgeable and helped walk us through everything we needed to know. Everything about this whole process went exactly as Francine said it would. Francine has a different business model (e.g., not a big staff on the payroll), and Mike G. is right — there are only a couple of crematoria in the area that all the funeral homes use. When you need this kind of service, it’s already a tough time in your life and you just need someone professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. We appreciated Francine and Genesis, very much. (Genesis does accept credit cards, but there is a surcharge, so we just wrote a check.)

If you need a cremation in DC go here. Francine is thoughtful, helpful & kind. As it turns out everyone in the DC area goes to the EXACT SAME PLACE to get cremated. So your loved one will follow the same process no matter what, it’s the law. So you need a good person and Francine is that. BTW, it seems odd to speak of money when grieving, but no sense in wasting it. There are fancy funeral homes in DC that will charge you up to $ 8k for a cremation. Francine charges ~$ 1.5k. That is one of the best deals in DC, at least that is what hospice told us and they were right.
