I have want to thank Lindsey from affordable she was so awesome she made sure my mom was taken care of it took me a month to receive my moms remains back after cremation but only because the price was $2600 for a simple cremation and I had bought my moms urn off Amazon and had it shipped to affordable Lindsey did everything she could for me so I could have my mom back I live in Oregon and my mom and I was on a trip to California to see my dieing aunt who had recently been given a time limit on her life my mom ended up passing that night at our hotel room in the bath tub that night was the most horrific night of my life the funeral home my mom originally was going to wanted $2800 which was outrageous I had only paid $900 for my dads Creamation almost 3 yrs ago here in Oregon so California was ripping grieving families off but Lindsey went out of her way to help me in every way possible even tho they are still a bit pricey I would definitely recommend them just because of the caring services I received from Lindsey she made sure my mom was ok until she got cremated so definitely go to affordable in Chico if u have a loved one that has passed
