"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!!"

To Claudia, Amy (and all of Bill’s family)Bob and I are sad and very sorry for your loss. We send our love and wish you peace while remembering your lives with your loving husband and father. May you Rest In Peace Bill.
Your sweet daddy was so fortunate to have such a beautiful loving family that adored him. All of you did your very best to make sure he was very well taken care of through his struggles with Parkenson’s and I know he passed knowing how very loved he was and that’s such a gift.
We are so very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family
Much love to all.
Claudia, Amy, and family,

Claudia, Doyle and I are praying for you and your family. Praying that you find comfort and peace as the Lord sustains you during this transition in your life. Doyle and I grew up with Billy and met you when Doyle was in seminary in Fort Worth.
We are so sorry hearing that Beil has passed to the other side. We will always remember him as a great guy and as Amy’s Dad. We offer our condolences. Even that he is gone, he will be by your side.
I am so sorry to hear this news but know he was well loved and appreciated by so many.
Claudia and Amy Beth:
Dee & I were so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. I had kept up with Bill through mutual friends here in Killeen. I had the privilege of working with Bill at Lott, Vernon & Company for many years. I enjoyed fishing with him, along with other coworkers, on the Colorado River and the gulf bay at SeaDrift. God bless you Claudia and Amy Beth.
Claudia and Amy,
I was saddened to hear of the loss of one of my most favorite people in this world. Bill was one of the finest, most caring, and gentlest men I’be had the privilege to know. I also remember him as an encourager. He always saw the bright side of matters. ANed what brilliance. Whwnever i had a question or concern about anything ralated to money he was always ready to sit and talk me through it. I will miss Bill but look forward to the day we will be reunited in Heaven.
I grew up on James Avenue next door to the Clarks. So sorry to hear about the death of Billy.
