I ordered a custom urn for my brother to showcase his love for Drag racing. It came out beautifully. During such a hard time & having to make such an unexpected purchase I am definitely thankful to find Green meadow. The price is so much lower than the $400 the funeral home was asking & I am glad I did some research and found this place. It came very fast as well even during the pandemic, I received it in 4 days. I would definitely recommend this company
I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted but I found Green Meadow Memorials with Google and called them. Working with them over the phone was easier than I thought it would be they were very friendly and knowledgeable and never once did I think they were trying to sell me something that wouldn't fit my needs. They helped guide me to a beautiful rose cremation urn and I was able to get it engraved and delivered very inexpensively compared to what I was expecting from the funeral home. Thank you for helping me find a real tribute for my mom.
I contacted Green Meadow Memorials after discovering that I had received my mother in a plastic container in the mail and was upset about not having a proper urn. Not only did Nat take the time to walk me through options and tell me about how the cremation process works and how I would easily be able to move my mothers remains into a proper memorial, he helped me find something that matched my budget and still allowed for the name and artwork options so I could make it truly hers. Thank you Nat and thank you Ryan for doing a great job on the engraving. It is very clear. I am thankful you were available to me when I needed a calm voice and clear guidance.
The morning after my Family member's death, I sat with my sibling discussing the funeral arrangements. I did not want them to bear the expense of an urn from funeral home. I went online and searched for an urn with a golfer and found the Green Meadow website. Even though it was early in the morning, someone responded to my chat message within minutes. And in less than 2 hours I received a picture in my messages of the engraved urn. We had the urn delivered within 48 hours. The quality was very nice for a price 1/10th of what one would pay in a funeral home. I would highly recommend Green Meadow as they made this task an easy one at a very sad and difficult time
