One of the nicest facility and very flexible to meet your funeral process. Staff is exceptionally well train to go above and beyond. We had to do funeral and cremation with Indian ritual amid of covid crisis with several limitation under safety guideline of local and Florida health dept. , Anna (funeral Director) was very accommodating to our family for entire process. I admire the management and entire team with sincere appreciation how they manage during the pandemic.

My husband died in January 2009. The funeral director at that time could not have been more compassionate. He worked with me in conjunction with my Church and spared nothing! I would recommend Serenity Meadows to any family for their needs at such a vulnerable time. I have already prearranged my own funeral with Serenity.

This was my first experience with a funeral home. I was beyond impressed with Serenity Meadows. Most of my dealings were with Jennifer & Ana but every staff member was very kind and courteous. I can hardly find the words to express how pleased I was with their kindness, compassion, and professionalism.
Jennifer handled all the funeral arrangements and was very accommodating and helpful. I was very appreciative of the way Ana handled the cremation process, telling us exactly what to expect. They handled my mother's body with the utmost dignity and respect. I highly recommend them!

Nothing but nice things to say about these folks. Jeanie was so sweet helping us pick plots, and Jennifer handled the arrangements. They were kind, supportive, and helped us keep the expenses fair. I was very worried because it seems to be a business that has some unscrupulous folks. That was not the case here. They were very open and honest, and the facility was great.
