I’m incredibly grateful to the manager- Donald and the entire team at the funeral home. During one of the most emotionally overwhelming times in my life, their support meant everything. Donald’s calm presence, steady guidance, and quiet strength helped me stay grounded when I was carrying a lot. The entire process—from planning to the day of the service—was handled with professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care. The space was clean, organized, and respectfully prepared. I also really appreciated the reception room—it was the perfect place for us to display artwork and meaningful items that represented my friend’s life. That brought huge comfort to her family and friends, and made the service even more personal and healing. Thank you for helping us honor our loved one with such dignity and compassion.

The Distinctive life team are super folks. From my first conversation with Logan, I was warmed by her concern for my loss. Their care and professionalism made the burden of making decisions for the care of my wife much easier. Dealing with the loss of a family member, or in my case, a spouse, is always full of difficulties and sometimes emotional decisions. The care both leading up to our celebration, and beyond has been nothing short exemplary. My heartfelt gratitude to Logan, Lily, and Sarah for their conscientious, respectful care is huge. I would entrust my loved one to their care without hesitation.

Planning a funeral while grieving for a loved one is an extraordinarily challenging task. The team at Distinctive Life provided exemplary service to Jim and me during this trying time. Logan Roberts and Cristela “Crissy” Edwards demonstrated exceptional compassion and attention to detail, truly honoring my brother Tom. Crissy was instrumental in helping us plan and execute the necessary steps for Tom's cremation. She displayed the utmost professionalism and care during our time of mourning, ensuring that Tom was treated with respect and dignity. Her meticulous approach and thoughtful gestures, like arranging a personalized tribute and coordinating with the crematorium, made a significant difference. Distinctive Life's commitment to excellence and compassion in funeral planning is evident through the heartfelt work of Logan Roberts and Cristela Edwards. We are profoundly grateful for their dedication in making Tom's farewell a meaningful and dignified experience.

After several years of prepaying for our mom’s cremation we couldn’t find our paperwork. My mom was unexpectedly in hospice care and we were in a panic. As soon as Eric and the staff took our call they immediately found our records, assured us everything was taken care of and made sure to give compassionate support during and after our mom’s passing. Such a relief during such a delicate time. Absolutely recommend.

Everyone at Distinctive Life is genuinely kind and caring. They are very helpful, and I am so grateful for their support when my father passed away. I appreciate how they check in with you even after the funeral to make sure you are okay. They also email me a daily affirmation to help me during my grieving. I really appreciate it because it is an email and I don’t have to talk to anyone about it unless I want to. They really do their best to support my family.

Lisa Vanek January 11, 2025

The beautiful and caring people who work here are not staff, they are family. They are a family who love their work and love you through your journey of loss of a loved one. I talked on the phone several times with Cristela and when I came in the door I knew we were going to hug. She was after all a friend now. Someone who loved me and wanted me to feel love. There are funeral homes that do excellent work; however the loving family approach of Distinctive Life Cremation and Funeral Services is beyond working with a family, they love your family. They love their work! When you love your work and truly love caring and serving people, the people you care about and serve can feel the difference. The journey you may have wondered how about it would go is now in the hands of new loving friends who assure you things will go well and it does. Thank you again, Cristela and Sarah.

These are the most professional, compassionate, understanding, accommodating, organized, and most of all caring individuals I've met in a long time! They not only took care of the arrangements for dad, but our family through this difficult time as well. I highly recommend Distinctive Life! Cristela (Crissy) personally walked our family through literally everything and took care of things we would have definitely missed along the way. After everything was done, they still reached out and extended additional assistance if we needed it. Top notch... we love them!! God bless!💜

Terri Wakham August 24, 2024

My aunt died unexpectedly and I was in shock. I was closest to her when she passed and I was in a desperate situation. The officers who found her explained that I needed to have a funeral home come immediately because they could not leave until her body was properly claimed. I had never dealt with a death or a funeral home before and didn’t even know who I should call. Thankfully, I chose Distictive Life Cremation and Funeral Services because they had a wonderful rating. Those reviews are not wrong. I was so concerned about the financial aspect as I blindly asked them to come without even asking about pricing, but I was relieved and surprised how inexpensive everything turned out to be. They came immediately to take my aunt with dignity and kindness to me. The sweetest woman, Rebecca, walked me through EVERYTHING with such warmth and gentleness. No pressure, no answer I gave or emotional response was wrong to her. I would not hesitate to use their services again.

I recently utilized the services of Distinctive Life in Dallas for the cremation and out-of-state shipping of my husband's remains, and I couldn't be more grateful for their support during this difficult time. Ana, the funeral director, was exceptionally compassionate and professional throughout the entire process. From our first contact, Ana took the time to explain all the options available to us and guided us through each step with empathy and clarity. She ensured that all the necessary arrangements were handled seamlessly, which provided immense relief during a period of immense grief. The cremation was conducted with the utmost respect and dignity. Ana also managed the logistics of shipping my husband's remains out of state, ensuring everything was coordinated perfectly and arrived as expected. I highly recommend Distinctive Life in Dallas for their exemplary service and the genuine care they provide. Ana and her team made a profoundly challenging experience more manageable, and I am deeply thankful for their support.

I can't express myself enough about how great Distinctive Life and especially Cristela Edwards treated me and my family. They took great care of my mother through the whole time under their care. They are wonderful and great at helping through and through from beginning to the end. I had some last minute issues with the cemetery just days before the service and Crissy took over like a boss and got everything situated for me. She treated everyone with kindness and was very professional within all aspects. I am truly blessed that they were recommended to me and I am forever grateful to them and especially Crissy!

Kim Holmes January 25, 2024

Well,this review is the hardest one and has taken me over a year to think about even attempting to write it, Mom is gone, died while on vacation in lake City Colorado. What else is there to say, if you are going to voice out loud amongst witnesses that you are so very happy with your life and your family, you are ready to go when God is ready to take you to Glory, you might want to make sure you mean it and you are not just making a joke joke about it, cause my mom said those very words and within 10 hours of voicing her feelings, she was gone. Mortician in Grand junction Colorado said my mom was one the couch complaining of heartburn one second and the next second she was with her beloved husband and God in heaven. Distinctive life funeral home has been there for me for the two most important people in my life... Mom and Dad. Mom passed away 3 years and 1 month to the day after my dads passing. They passed away within the same hour of time on a early Monday morning. Masha and Crystella were just as shocked and blindsided by the news of my mom's passing as all of her family and friends in her church and in the Model A club they had been apart of for so many years. I felt so much heartache I could barely answer questions about anything, Masha and Crystella just took that simple cue of absolutely falling apart and handled me and my family and the service and told me that nobody can tell you how to grieve and nobody can tell you that you are doing it wrong. Everyone grieves differently and I my mom would say I never did anything normal, why start now at age 50. Lol My mom m was running circles around me at age 76 and she was going to go on vacation whether we wanted her to go or not go. She was an adult and I am not her mom. She was treated for afib the day she was supposed to leave for Colorado the first time and she was gone within 12ish days after being cardioverted from afib to normal sinus rhythm.. listen to your Body when you have heartburn. Don't ignore the biggest symptom of heart attack for females Heartburn. She was at 12,800 feet elevation in Colorado during the few days of her trip that she was alive for,,, paramedics worked her as a full code and if she didn't come back after all the medications, the thumper machine doing chest compressions, defibrillated, chest tube... She was not going to make it back... It was her time. As hard as it is to type it, it is a fact. Masha and Crystella picked up my mom. From the airport and brought her back to the funeral home. They let me see her only when she was ready and they had done everything they could do to make her ready for viewing and prepared me for the rest of the coming days plans that they had just handled. They are truly amazing women with gifts and talents that very few people are allowed. I thank God for distinctive life funeral home and there entire family of staff that continue to check in with us to see how we are managing life even after over a year after my mom's passing. Thank you ladies for your hearts and prayers and support throughout the last several years.

Kyle and the staff of Distinctive life Cremation Funeral Services are truly incredible. From the beginning of our contact with Kyle, he really went above and beyond for our family after the sudden passing of my Mom. He were able to make my Mom really look like herself and at peace as our family said our goodbyes at her ID viewing. This was my first time needing to plan arrangements for a loved one so close to us and Kyle facilitated this process with ease. Kyle was extremely accommodating to all of my requests. He consistently checked up on us during ID viewings to make sure that things were going smoothly and to see if we were okay. Thank you to Kyle and his staff for your wonderful services during this difficult time in our lives. Gemma B

Gemma Bezeau June 05, 2023

We lost our baby girl in March and Distinctive Life was one of the funeral homes Children’s Medical Center recommended. I was extremely worried about handing over my baby to just anyone. But as soon as I got on the phone with Cristela, she made me feel at ease. Once she picked her up from the hospital she called me and kept me informed about the required paperwork and cremation timeline. When I finally went to pick up her ashes, I broke down while she listened to me. We were able to relate to some of our experiences and I felt understood. We also felt that doing other services besides cremation would feel too depressing and “off” for our little angel so we opted out. But their place would be perfect for anyone looking for a funeral home that doesn’t have “old creepy and depressing” vibes. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in. The interior is very modern and feels peaceful. I will always be grateful for the women who brought her into this world and for the women who took care of her after death… 💜

I have had the privilege and blessing to work with Masha Harris and Distinctive Life for several years now. Not only have my husband and I worked with Masha in preplanning our services, but as a Minister I have had Masha Harris come and talk to my congregation about the importance of preplanning. She is knowledgeable, easy to talk to and very helpful. Every member that has had to deal with a loss has been treated with kindness , compassion and dignity. I have never hesitated to recommend the caring staff at Distinctive Life.

From the gate, everyone at Distinctive Life has been wonderful.

Losing your spouse puts tremendous pressure on you as the survivor and I don't know if I could have done everything needed at the time without the help of the ladies at Distinctive Life. I greatly appreciate the aftercare that is part of their process. The periodic emails, notes in the mail and phone calls have been a Godsend for me in helping to deal with the loss of my wife.

I am writing to express my appreciation and share how Kenney went above and beyond my expectations! First, I must say this is my first time to lose a loved one and on the evening my mother passed I was given a list of funeral homes to choose from. After calling 3 places that had answering services, I tried a fourth and Kenney answered. Within minutes she had put me at ease and gently walked me through the process. There are no words to express my gratitude for how she helped me and took some of the tasks off my plate. From meeting me at my home to complete the paperwork to helping me find Bird’s of Paradise on a 24 hour notice, and then coming back to drop off the memorial pamphlets. I kept saying that this amount of personal service couldn’t possibly be normal business practice and she assured me it was! I am a sharer by nature and had this been a restaurant or hotel experience I would have given a 5 star rating and posted on Facebook. I can without question say that I felt cared for throughout the entire process on a level that will leave a lasting memory.

We were very lucky to find Distinctive Life Funeral home when our beloved mother passed away a month ago. With such a sadness and difficult time, Donald, Sarah and all staffs provided us with kindness, support and understanding; we felt like we were dealing this unknown process and heartbreaking time with our friends, not to mention with a very reasonable price. I felt my mother had received respect and care that all of us would love to have when it would be our time. It is hard to recommend a funeral home as it is for a sad moment, yet we need to write this review to help others. Distinctive Life, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We also used them for my Sister in ‘2020 & again they did there absolutely best to take care of everything…We put our trust in them & they take care of everything!!!

Distinctive Life did a wonderful job as I was going through the very sad time of losing my mother. Everyone there was very caring and kind. They reached out on several occasions to check on me and my family during this time of grief, and they took thorough care of the details surrounding my mother’s passing.

I was informed about Distinctive Life when my mother went into hospice care May 3, 2024. I told the hospice nurse to use them when the time came. She passed quickly, May 4, at 10:20 pm. Distinctive Life came out to get her. They have been a pleasure to work with. The staff is great. They brought her back from the holding center at my request so I could see her a last time. She was nicely arrayed in a robe, on a nice table in a nice room. Everything went perfect. I would recommend them and would use again. Thank you

My husband died in Houston, 1,100 miles from our home. The hospital gave me a list of places where I could send his body for cremation. I called several places. Even over the phone, Distintive Life stood out. Someone picked up his body quickly after being called by the hospital and Rebecca messaged me to let me know that he was at their faculty. I went there the next morning. I was even able to sit with the body for a short time. Rebecca did everything I asked. She treated me like a valuable family friend. Things were done swiftly in order to get me back home. When I picked up my husband's ashes, Jane treated me and the ashes with the upmost dignity and respect. Sarah has called and messaged to make sure I was doing okay and had everything I needed. These ladies were a genuine comfort to me in the hardest time I have ever faced. I really feel like God was watching over me when he sent me to them. I am so grateful for all the have done.

I would say they were very caring and comforting and professional. We have used them before for my dad‘s funeral in 2015. This time we used them for my mom service. Their prices are reasonable and they don’t try to sell you anything expensive. Eric was knowledgeable and understanding. Also Margaret was helpful. I like the fact that they don’t try to sell you anything expensive?. I would use them again if I ever needed their service

This is the second time we have used Distinctive Life and they are absolutely wonderful. Cristela Edwards was knowledgeable and so helpful with all of the details. They were able to pick my brother up from the VA Hospital very quickly after he passed away. I’ve recommended them to others in the past and will continue to do so. Their competent and compassionate service makes a very difficult time a little bit easier. Thank you.

Distinctive Life Cremation and Funeral made a very difficult time in our lives, with the loss of our sweet Mom, a more manageable and caring experience! Never over bearing, not trying to sell us more than we needed, just respectful, clear, professional, extremely helpful with paperwork issues and so much more. I want to say that this company is a hidden gem but maybe it is just a rare and wonderful gem! Highly recommend!

Ana and her staff have been so helpful following the unexpected passing of my mother in September. Especially with such a quick turnaround with their communication. Ana was so helpful with answrring our questions and being flexible with some of the changes or questions we had regarding the funeral service (cremation) we chose. On the day of the private viewing Ana did reach out to me a head of time to give a fair warning about my mother's appearance, since we decided not to do enbalming as, she did not want us to be more distressed than we already were. I really do appreciate all the help Ana and her team provided and still provides during these tough times.

Great experience working with Distinctive Life for my father's (Navy veteran) cremation. Worked with Kyle Ko, and I cannot say enough great things about him and his services. Very prompt, always went above and beyond, very honest and up front. Everything was great working with Kyle Ko, he handled the passing of my father with so much respect, and provided everything in-time for my father's funeral service. Additionally the urns selection is fantastic, we love how ours came out.

My experience with Distinctive Life was perfection. The attention and care that Cristela provided gave me and my family such relief. Laying a loved one to rest can be a daunting thing, Cristela made sure that everything was as easy as possible. We were able to have a personal and memorable ceremony and the location was versatile and welcoming.

My son died in Dallas; I live in CA. Our family had no idea of what funeral home to select. The hospital gave us a list of funeral homes and I called four to better understand the process. I liked Distinctive Life Cremation and Funeral Services. The representatives were friendly, informative, caring and professional. I decided to go with them and the whole process was handled very, very nicely. The people there were so helpful and considerate. They guided our family from start to finish. They efficiently handled all the paperwork required . In spite of the difficult situation we were in, they made it a very pleasant experience for us. A week or so after my son was cremated, I received an e-mail from one of the representatives again expressing their concern for our family, and what struck me as really nice, was their offer to help in any way they could as we moved forward. As I said the funeral home was special to us and extremely nice to work with. Walt Lloyd

I have been honored and blessed to have worked closely with Masha Harris and Distinctive Life for several years now. Masha has worked with many members of my church with preplanning and in times of loss. My members, without fail have been treated with courtesy, kindness, compassion and dignity always. I will never hesitate to suggest that anyone in need of funeral services or preplanning do so at Distinctive Life. Rev. DeAnna Golsan Disciples Christian Church

I cannot recommend this group highly enough. After my father passed unexpectedly, I had to begin making arrangements from out of state. The funeral director I spoke to on the phone was so incredibly compassionate and helpful. I informed her that I would be calling a few places for comparison shopping and she did not hesitate to offer guidance, information about what would be needed for anyone I ended up moving forward with, and compassion for what I was going through. I never felt like I was being pressured or upsold. I chose them based on their clear pricing, great communication and clear dedication to the families they worked to support during a time of loss. Throughout the following days and weeks, they made sure I knew what needed to be taken care of and made it as simple as possible for me. Their flexibility, professionalism and support made the situation much simpler than it could have been and I genuinely appreciate the empathy they showed. They coordinated working with local family to finalize all necessary documentation required and reached out to check on me. A simple act to let me know someone else was thinking of my family and what we were experiencing was very meaningful. I still receive emails from them to help me navigate the legal, financial, and emotional steps that come after losing a loved one. Lydia and Natalie gave me great comfort and I felt like interacting with them was more like having a conversation with a supportive friend than with a business. Their service is beyond compare and I am very glad that I trusted my father's final resting arrangements to them. I felt comforted knowing he was in their care.

Losing a love one is hard but losing someone by an accident is harder and suddenly you don't know what to do. Distinctive Life came into ours lives by a friend and there is not enough words to thank them. They took care of everything and helps with things we did not know we would have to deal with. Lydia Marruffo is an angel, she is kind and caring and we could not have made through this sad time without her. Our son has been gone for several months and Lydia still calls every once in a while just to see how we are doing. We are so thankful for Distinctive Life and people like Lydia.

We needed to use two different funeral homes to bury our loved one in another state. Distincitive Life was recommended to us and they were amazing every step of the way even though the actual funeral was elswhere. They showed so much care and compassion and were always available to us and continued to be even after the funeral. In fact, their aftercare is remarkable, providing checklists of things that need to be done after a death and support in the grieving process. They have provided superb service and I would not hesitate one second to recommend them.

The thoughtful caring staff at Distinctive Life have made a very difficult time so much easier. They were truly kind, always available and helped us coordinate a lovely service. I Recommend Masha and Lydia most highly to anyone. My family and I had a million questions, and they managed all of us so kindly. They took care of my father respectfully and also created a wonderful service program and were there with us at the service providing an additional seamless virtual stream for family that was wonderful. The website they provide for well wishes and remembrances is also a wonderful benefit.
