"Excellent customer service, they made you feel like you were their only customer. Very helpful and explained what we should expect during the process. They basically took care of our needs during this time. They contacted DFW National Cemetery for us which made it a smooth experience. Definitely will use them again."

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"

I am very sorry for your loss. I have had the privilege of servicing the home of Eddie and Nancy French for several years. He was always very kind. I will keep you in my prayers as I know how difficult a time this is.
Oh, Nancy—I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose your husband. It sounds like he was an amazing man! Please know you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Love-Margret Wood❤️
My Dearest Nancy, I have shared part of this journey with you and have watched your courage, compassion and love for Eddie. He was so lucky to have you. And we in our FTD group are honored to know you. You have been an amazing caregiver. I wish you peace now. I will make a donation to The AFTD in lieu of flowers. Love, Doris
Eddie was already a gentleman when I knew him at Adamson. Sincere condolences to Nancy and family.
Rest easy, Eddie, secure in peace with the Lord. For you, Nancy, I wish quiet strength, gentle peace, and steadfast love and support from your family and friends. You’re on my heart and in my prayers. Marty

Nancy so sorry to hear of Eddie’s passing. Eddie was a super guy. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I will always be thankful to Eddie for his support in my Golf career. He helped get me started in my first Head Professional’s job at Denton Country Club in 1984 and for that I will always be grateful. I met Eddie while working at The Grapevine GC under our mutual friend Jim Smith. After Jim retired in 2012 an I became the Director of Golf; Eddie continued calling on our shop. Always one of my favorite sales call. Eddie always looke out for the best interest of the golf professional . For that I will always be grateful. RIP Edible . You will be missed.
I remember Eddie coming over to our house a lot and he and Glen would go play golf. I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and all of the family.
Nancy, Saddened and shocked to hear of the loss of Eddie… One of my longtime friends, we spent many years in the Golf industry together, with several Fun vacation trips with you and Eddie. Take Care Nancy, RIP Big Guy!!!
Nancy, you and your family are in our prayers during the sad time. You were always there for Eddie and what a great man he was. We love you –
Laura and Charles
Mike, I am so glad to hear from you. I could not find your phone number. I did not think to send a FB PM. Eddie loved you and Marla. And so do I. YES, we did have some very fun times!

Memorial Service Honoring Eddie French
July 30 – 11:00am – Worship Center
Thank you LaBetha. I agree, Eddie was a pretty super guy :o) – even as his health and memory declined over the past few years. He forgot a lot, but never forgot winning the Adamson All-Alumni Golf Tournament one year at Grapevine Golf Course that you help organize.

Tom, thank you for your kind words and prayers.
Margaret,
Thank you for your kindness and prayers. You understand. Miss you.
Dear Nancy,
Prayers of peace today and always. Eddie was so blessed by you and your care. We were connected for reasons, which for Eddie and Kirby had to have been “golf on my mind” They are doing that now. Healed, Happy and Holes in One in Heaven.
There are not enough words to say to make the pain to go away. My door is open if I may be of comfort.
Love,
Cathy Huffington Hall
