Funeral Services & Cemeteries in Kent

“Recently, our family experienced a great loss — our father passed away. We did not want him to be cremated and instead decided to send his body home to Belarus. We called several funeral homes, but none of them had experience with international repatriation to our country — and no one could guarantee it was even possible.

Calvin was the exception. He impressed us with both his professionalism and his compassion. He not only gave us hope but immediately took on this challenging task. There were many bureaucratic hurdles along the way, but Calvin was always quick to respond, contacted embassies, resolved issues, and stayed in touch even late at night. He supported us every step of the way, went above and beyond, and never let us lose hope.

We chose Personal Alternatives and never once regretted it. People and professionals like Calvin are rare. We are deeply grateful to Calvin and his team.“

“I only have positive and amazing things to say about my experience at Marlatt Funeral Home. My family and I were lucky enough to work with Melissa who was patient and great to work with from start to finish. She helped answer all our questions leading up to the date. Our friends and family said the entire service was beautiful. We were also able to live stream the event which was really special for our out-of-state family. Marlatt has great pricing and even better staff. You can tell that they really care about the people they work with. I will always be grateful that they helped give my mom the celebration she deserved.“

“Rachel was the gift we needed after my husband passed away. I had no idea which funeral home to use and I randomly ended up choosing Edline-Yahn & Covington Funeral Chapel based off location. Rachel, our funeral director, was heaven sent. She was born to do this work. She has a keen eye for detail and treated our family with such care and love. She is professional, respectful and genuine. She created a safe space and experience for our sons when it came time to say goodbye to their father. She paid attention to the little things I mentioned and created the most touching memorial items for us. I appreciated how she cared for my husband and helped me feel more comfortable with each step of the process. Losing a loved one is tough and Rachel has dedicated her life to helping ease all of that for families. I am beyond grateful for her. Michelle and Vanessa were amazing to work with as well. If you ever need a funeral home I highly recommend this team.“

“For me, this is a very painful time, but this place made me feel closer to my daughter. Thank you so much for your empathy and for being so attentive.“
