Allen Andrew Sales | Southern Cremations and Funerals

Our experience with southern cremations and funerals was great. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to us in arranging the internment of our mother’s ashes. A heartfelt thank you to Jason and the staff.

We had a wonderful experience with this funeral home. From beginning to end, the service was professional, compassionate, and very friendly. The staff was extremely helpful, respectful, and made us feel comfortable during a very difficult time. The facility is beautiful, clean, and well maintained, creating a peaceful and welcoming environment for families. We truly appreciate the care and attention provided to our family and would highly recommend this funeral home to anyone looking for excellent service and a caring team.

I am so happy that my husband and I chose Southern Cremations and Funerals for our funeral needs. The location was convenient, the building is very nice and welcoming, and the chapel is beautiful and large. The grounds are beautiful and kept in pristine condition. The staff were so kind, welcoming and sensitive to me and my family. They were so caring! I was so blessed to have Tiffani that helped me and walked me through the entire process. She exudes care, concern and love. Because of her, I was able to better deal with my husband’s sudden, unexpected passing. Her support was very comforting and helpful. And It didn’t stop after the service. She continues to check on me and give encouragement. I highly recommend Southern Cremations and Funerals for your funeral needs. They will do you good.

I am deeply grateful to Southern Cremation & Funeral Services for the extraordinary care, compassion, and professionalism they showed during the service for my beloved wife. During such a difficult time, their team treated us with incredible kindness and respect.
A special thank you to the person who led the service on the day—your leadership, grace, and heartfelt care brought so much comfort to me and my family. Every detail was handled beautifully. Thank you for guiding us through this with such dignity. I highly recommend their services.

Southern Cremations is a wonderful place. Beautiful and serene with a feeling of peace and serenity. The staff is amazing and offers a feeling of joy in a time of incredible sadness.

- Carol Grizzle
In the midst of so much pain, I can say that it was the best service and the best farewell I could have given my husband. There are no words to describe what I feel knowing that my beloved received the best care and is in such a beautiful and special place. Both the funeral service and the burial exceeded my expectations; I couldn't ask for more. The staff was highly qualified, respectful, and attentive at all times. My heart is so grateful to all of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

- Jackeline Vargas
They met our request with love and support.

- Teresa Knox
Wonderful staff. Very caring and informative; helped us understand the various options available (financing, veterans information, etc.). This is the second time we've used their business; my father died in 2019 and my mother just passed. Extremely helpful getting us connected to the Veterans Cemetery also.

- Delisa Wilson
I cannot recommend Southern Cremations & Funerals highly enough. During one of the most difficult and emotional times for our family, they gave us something we desperately needed: peace of mind.

From my very first phone call, they treated us with patience, compassion, honesty, and respect. When my family and I arrived in person without an appointment after my initial inquiry, we were welcomed and cared for without hesitation. Mercedes, the Multicultural Liaison who assisted us, was especially wonderful. She took the time to reassure me and explain the entire process of preparing and transferring my grandmother’s remains internationally to the Dominican Republic. What initially felt incredibly overwhelming became much more manageable because we knew she was in capable and caring hands.

Even more importantly, their communication was exceptional. Miracle Randall, Funeral Director, communicated with me directly by email throughout the process and kept me informed every step of the way regarding the death certificate and Fulton County’s timeline. Those updates were essential because obtaining the necessary documentation was a critical step before we could begin arranging my grandmother’s flight to the Dominican Republic. I never felt like I was left wondering what was happening or what needed to happen next. The team helped keep our family informed and coordinated a process that involved loved ones both here in the United States and in the Dominican Republic.

The care and dignity they showed my grandmother meant everything to us. The columbarium where we held her viewing was absolutely beautiful, peaceful, intimate, and worthy of the farewell we wanted to give her. We were able to gather as a family, pray, grieve, and honor her life in a beautiful setting.

If you are reading reviews because you are trying to make arrangements for someone you love—especially if you need to transport your loved one internationally—I hope this review gives you some reassurance. Southern Cremations & Funerals treated our grandmother and our entire family with dignity, professionalism, compassion, and genuine human kindness from beginning to end.

We will always be grateful to Mercedes and the entire team for helping us bring our grandmother home to the Dominican Republic with the respect and dignity she deserved. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

- Jessica Ortiz
Everyone was amazing when my mother passed. Miracle was so informative on all our options, handled the tears like a pro, and went above and beyond to make sure that my siblings and I got time with her before the cremation! I am forever grateful for the staff at Southern Cremations! Patience and compassion are 2 of many things I can use to describe the team there! Thank all of you! ❤️

- Tina Opalka
Southern Cremation & Funerals provided exceptional service for my family during the passing of my daughter. The staff was very professional and comforting towards us and assisted in our every need.

Death hits ~ no final goodbye ~ just waking up day after day and dealing with him being gone ~ my little brother/cousin ~ then you have to deal with the finals ~ the final song ~ the final good bye ~ the final everything here on earth ~ we met Franchesca ~ and the finals were made a bit easier ~ having to think k and plan and mourn ~ hard ~ Franchesca made it more bearable ~ she made it easier to just show up and not have to deal with the rest of it ~ and for that I will forever thank you ~ our home going for him was made so much easier ~ thank you for showing up the massive way that you did for his mom, the rest of our family and friends and especially for me ~ I hope I never have to see you again in this light ~ but should we have to go down this road again, and I’m sure that we will ~ we will choose you again and again and again ~ tasha

- Telma Cade
We would like to thank the staff at Southern Cremations for their professionalism in providing funeral services for our beloved son, Alejandro. We also thank Mrs. Mercedes for her support during this difficult time. Victor and Rosario Reyes.

- VR
My family and I were completely satisfied with the services provided for my sister by Southern Cremations. Their prices are listed so you know exactly what you will be paying. Everyone was very nice during the process. This was our first time using Southern Cremations and we have already decided that we will use them again for our future needs.

- James Reilly
Exceptional care and professionalism during a very sad time. The team at Southern Cremation and Funerals was incredibly respectful and helpful in making arrangements for our mother. They were affordable, transparent, and compassionate from start to finish. We are forever grateful for the dignity they showed our family and would highly recommend their services to anyone.

- Sherry Jordan
The staff went above and beyond to support my family during this difficult moment. Very professional. They arranged everything beautifully.

- Gabriel Lopez
Excellent service! We recently entrusted this cremation service with the care of our loved one, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the compassion and professionalism they showed during such a difficult time.

They handled every detail with dignity and care, ensuring that our loved one was treated with the utmost respect. Communication was clear and consistent, and they were always available to answer our questions—no matter how small. The facility itself was clean, and thoughtfully maintained, which brought us an added sense of comfort.

What truly stood out was their genuine empathy. This is not just a business to them—they truly care about the families they serve. Their support made an incredibly painful process just a little bit easier to bear.

I would highly recommend this cremation service to anyone in need of compassionate, professional, and trustworthy care during one of life’s most challenging moments.

- Pilar Fernandez
Losing a loved one is just unbearable. Choosing Southern Cremations to take care of my father's arrangements was a relief and a God Send! From the first call to director Sondra to every dealing with Franchesca and her team, no question was too trivial and no ask was too much. They helped us stay in our budget, while providing a service that my dad would have been more than happy with. I am glad we selected them. Though no one wants to face the loss, none of us can avoid it. I cannot imagine a more compassionate group of people to rely on during this tough time.

- Michelle Vollmer
I would like to take a moment to commend the lady who assisted us with designing the headstones—if I recall correctly, her name was Michelle. She was truly exceptional in her care and demeanor toward my mother and me.

From the moment we arrived, she was warm, welcoming, and sincerely kind. It was evident that her concern for others was genuine. During our visit, she noticed my mother becoming emotional and beginning to withdraw. With great sensitivity, she gently turned the laptop aside, offered a comforting smile, and suggested we take a short break.

She then engaged us in light conversation, asking about our plans after the appointment. When we mentioned we intended to go to lunch, she inquired where we would be going. At that point, my mother shared that she was quite hungry. Michelle excused herself briefly and returned with two granola bars and a cup of water for my mother, which was deeply appreciated, as my mother struggles with low blood sugar.

We spent nearly an hour and a half with her, and throughout the entire time, her attentiveness and compassion never wavered. The level of care she showed us was truly remarkable. It is rare to encounter someone so dedicated and thoughtful, and I only wish there were more individuals like her.

- Susan Thompson
Very kind considerate and we appreciate the attention to detail.

- Debi Stewart
My brother Fred Wright Jr services were held here, we the family loved the relaxed special expert attention given to my brothers arrangements, the people here were so nice and caring, They helped us from start to finish on throughout the services which were held in their Chapel. The 2 assistants that helped us were very very kind and professional, which we appreciate very dearly. I would recommend Southern Cremations & Funerals to any and All. You'll be very satisfied,I promise.🌹🌹🌹

- Wanda Wright
I could not be more pleased with our choice of Southern Cremations for this painful experience. Kevin Baker’s empathy and patience and Miracle Randall’s handling of details were extraordinary. I will add that our choice of arrangement was respected from the outset without pressuring of any kind. Thank you from my heart!

- Alice Ramsdell
Had an amazing experience. They took such loving care, time, and patience with my mom’s remains and always kept our family informed. I would recommend them without hesitation. Miss Miracle is the best, and the entire staff is the epitome of sincerity, caring, love, and attentiveness. Thank you all for taking care of my mom from preparation to shipping. I am forever grateful.

- Carolynette LaGana
Hi LaFaith,

I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help and especially for making my mom look so good, I was so suprised to see her looking like she did before she got sick. It meant so much to me and my sister for that to be our last vision in our head, she looked beautiful and she woud've been so happy that her nails were done as well and even the pink you chose for her nails and lips would be her exact color. Also, the service was lovely and everyone was so helpful! I hope you enjoyed your day off!

Thanks again for everything! You are amazing!

- Lori Edwards
From the first contact and many calls in between-I had all my questions answered ...I was coming from out of state and they made special arrangements to meet my requests..they presented my Son with so much dignity and I can't thank all the staff involved enough..what a beautiful place and respectful staff..thanks for going out of the normal portal for me and my son. .

- Kimberly Priggins
This one took me a while to write due to the circumstances. This was the only place we needed to visit. From the first call, the staff accommodated and serviced our family well. We did both (funeral service and traditional burial), and throughout it all, they had people to take care of almost everything. The grounds are well kept, they genuinely care, and work hard to make things easy in a very hard moment.

- Hector Delgado
I can't say enough good things about Franchesca, Mary and Leshawn during a very difficult time when my brother passed away recently. Their care and concern I know went beyond what their job calls for. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart.

- Cathy P.
This was a beautiful place to attend the memorial for my Auntie. The rain was most unpleasant, welcome to Georgia. The sign placed out front was most welcoming to know we were at the correct location, even the sign placed in the front was most helpful. We arrived at the wrong building first but the water fountain there was beautiful. The interior of the correct location was beautiful and the glass window was pleasing yet the screen hid the beauty. The glass cases niche inside were beautiful. The coffee for guests was nice my husband appreciated that. The slide presentation was nice put on by her nephew. Overall I believe her daughter was pleased with her care for the service of her mother. As an attending person the service was beautiful. We traveled from Florida to pay our respects . ~ may she rest peacefully

- Lisa R.
Cheatham Hill is a beautiful, well kept cemetery with outstanding facilities

- Tom Crawford
A wonderful place to celebrate and say goodbye to loved ones. Shane and the entire staff were so thoughtful and accommodating during a very difficult time for our family. They have several choices of venues for services within the park, which is very well maintained. They have many different pricing options too to fit any budget. No one really has it together when a family member dies but my husband and I left the day of the service for my father in law thinking that they made it a little bit easier. Definitely recommend.

- Tasha Smith
Southern Cremations & Funerals at Cheatham Hill was my first and only stop as I searched for a burial park. After the very courteous receptionist, I met John Baranchak who was very professional and genuinely caring as he presented the burial services offered at Cheatham Hill. John and the entire Cheatham Hill staff were committed to providing comfort and support during this difficult period of time.

- Vernon Vereen
I had the pleasure of doing business with this wonderful facility. You simply couldn’t ask for more compassionate and friendly people. Mrs Lisa Barker, Mr. Jose and Mr.Tony Parker you guys were great!!!

- Heather Jeffery
Everyone, from the first day we entered their offices was so professional and yet at the same time so kind, sweet, and treated us with heartfelt sympathy at the sudden and tragic death of our Mom. The funeral was over 250 people and Michelle, Ashlyn and Sandra treated us with respect, and such kindness. I know this sounds crazy, but if you are in the Cobb or Paulding area and are looking for a funeral home or a cemetery I can not recommend Cheatham Hill enough. They were all so sincere and even the gentlemen at the graveside, were respectful and kind. They served us with dignity and made our last moments with our Mom just what we would have wanted to remember her.

- Madeleine Monson
Service was wonderful. Staff was very helpful and attentive to our needs. Everything went smoothly and exactly as we wanted. Communication was perfect. We are very thankful for CHMP for helping our family in such a challenging time

Today, I purchased a marker for my mother from Tiffani. She answered all of our questions, and there were many, made changes, and helped us get it ordered. She is extremely knowledgeable, quick, and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend Holly Hill for your needs. She is the BEST! Thank you

- Larry Bassett
The staff at Southern Cremations was so helpful from the very beginning. They showed great respect from removing his body to the final cremation. They took care of getting everything completed for his final military internment.

- Karen Alexander
I can not express my appreciation enough for the care and direction that was provided to me and family during a difficult time.

Words can not express how grateful we are to Southern Cremations and Funeral! They went over and above for us as we navigated the loss of our father! From the beginning Sabrina held our hands the whole way through the process making it so much easier than we could have ever imagined. She guided us through the process with so much compassion and kindness! Thank you to Sabrina and the entire staff for all that you do!

Thank you for the care and concern shown to me and my family. All our needs were fulfilled. Thank you for the warmth shown to us during this trying time and the good job of preparing our loved for his final resting place.

- Alma E.
The death of a loved one is always hard. Open caskets are common here in the south and often times the loved one you are having the service for is unrecognizable. This place did an excellent job with my grandmother and we are very thankful. She would have been happy with how she was presented she looked beautiful. She was a beautiful person in life and they showed that with the care and detail they put into everything from how her nails were done to how her makeup was made. I was around her quite often and she could have passed for sleeping in a casket in her Sunday clothes and makup on. Staff was friendly, sympathetic and supportive. I would highly recommend this place from my experience. Job well done grandma. Job well done southern cremations thank you.

- Justin Jones
No one ever really knows what it feels like when a loved one passes away, especially when her death was unexpected. Such was the case when I lost the love of my life, my high school sweetheart, my life partner and the best wife, mother and grandmother any husband and family could ever hope for. Her final resting place was paramount to her and to our family. Her final wishes included being buried in a cemetery which was beautiful, well kept and family friendly. Southern Cremations & Funerals, McDonough, GA 30253, fit those requirements without question. My daughters, son and I were treated with kindness, sympathy and in a highly professional manner from the moment we entered their facility. My family and I want to thank the entire staff at Southern Cremations & Funerals and highly recommend their funeral services to you and your family when Our Lord Jesus Christ calls your loved into his internal and perpetual care. May God bless them. May He bless you and yours in your time of mourning and loss and may He continue to bless Southern Cremations & Funerals for their professionalism and services.

- Wally Marchant
Southern Cremations and Funerals treated my family really well and provided an excellent service during this difficult time. We worked directly with Kashia. She was patient and understanding. All of our questions were answered and we could not have been better taken care of.

If you are looking for caring and professional service at the most difficult time. Southern Creamations are the best! This was my second time using them. Once for my father and again for my nephew. Ashton in Mcdonough treated me and my family with so much care, and helped with everything we needed. Their cremation service is very affordable as well. If I could Gove #20 stars, I would. God bless you all, and Thank you for all you do! Mrs. Banks

- Gaylor Banks

- Cheryl Frogucki
The people here were so helpful after the passing of my father. They made sure we had everything we wanted for his service and were so accommodating. I will recommend them to all my friends and family.

- Dawn Burns
This was the first time in my life that I have had to plan a funeral and I had no clue what I was doing, but everyone at Southern Cremations & Funerals was so helpful and patient with my family and I while they walked us through the complete process. Everyone that I came into contact with from the people that answer the phones at the answering service was respectful, considerate, comforting, and made this process a little bit easier. I had to plan my moms funeral from another state, and everyone made the planning process easier, they explained every single step and helped us make choices that were the best fit for our needs and budget. I would recommend Southern Cremations & Funerals to anyone who has lost a loved one, because even now over a month later I am still receiving calls from the staff checking in to see how I am handling the loss of my mother and asking if there is anything they can do to help. I want to thank each and everyone of you for all of your help and support, with the planning of the services and everything that came after. My family and I deeply appreciate all of you.

- Centoria Coffil
Southern Cremations and Funerals in McDonough made a difficult time so much easier. They handled my father’s cremation and Memorial service. The staff was professional, caring and provided a sense of peace and reverence to my mother and family through all the decisions and final service. My funeral director, Ashton, was awesome. She was never more than an email or phone call away, answering my many questions and keeping me on task. Many thanks from my family.

- Andrea Baker
My husband and I arranged the prepay cremation about 18 months before we needed to use one. The prepay was almost effortless. We never had to leave home and the person on the phone was very helpful. Then, when my husband died, we had absolutely no problem and no issue other than waiting 2 weeks for the death certificates(which could be partially the coroners office's fault). Anyway, I do recommend using the services of Southern Cremations and Funerals. They are professional and easy to work with.

- C. Wells
This cremation services was on point. Mr CJ was very much professional and helpful. Now that after all my family and myself went through. I just received a pleasant call from Ms Julissa comforting me and I am very grateful to finally have a wonderful funeral business that cares about their clients more than anything else? Well deserved

- Michele T.
Southern cremations has been there for our family a couple of times this year alone. Customer service has always been top notch. Excellent communication. I would highly recommend two friends and family.

We are so thankful for the compassionate and professional care we received from Southern Cremations & Funerals in Fairburn.

Her guidance made a very difficult time much easier for our family.Thanks to their support, our loved one’s final wishes were carried out exactly as intended. We highly recommend Southern Cremations to any family looking for thoughtful, dignified care—especially if you’re considering pre-planning. It truly made all the difference. — The De Haven Family

- Mallika BD
My 103 year old mother had specific wishes and ideas. Southern Cremations met them all with understanding and compassion. Dealing with them during the planning stages was a pleasure. After my mother passed they took control of the situation and there were no surprises. They managed all details professionally and smoothly. Thank you Southern Cremations.

- Robert De Haven

She is extremely knowledgeable, quick, and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend Southern Cremation and Funerals for your needs. She is the BEST! Thank you. I would like to add that the marker is now down and was done on time has Tiffani stated. No problems what so ever. Another great job done. Thank you
