Thank you for assisting our family bringing our loved one to his final rest. Been to many many services, and by far the warmth, caring and professionalism was outstanding. My family could not have handled the steps through the funeral process without them. Did not feel we were rushed through a corporate endeavor like most funeral homes. God bless you abundantly.

EXCELLENT SERVICE! The passing of a loved one is so hard and having to deal with all the responsibility of everything that comes with it is even harder. Sarah and Brittany do such a great job at making everything so simple and not as overwhelming as it can be. I highly recommend this place. The pricing is realistic and better than other places in the east Orlando area. I love that its one family at a time as opposed to other funeral homes. The space is a bit limited inside but there is plenty of parking. They have a kitchen available and one bathroom for both sexes. Overall, highly recommend!

Words cannot describe what an amazing experience the staff made this hard time for me. I had my father funeral services held at Good Life. Every interaction I had was personal, it never felt like business and was very comforting. The staff took the time to listen to my needs and concerns, they never made me feel like it was a business deal, or pressure me in any matter. They made me feel like family.. Each visit ( bringing my dads clothes, making arrangements, picking my dad up, picking up the death certificates and picking up “thumbed”) was personal. They took me inside and spoke to me!!! They asked me, how I was and listened. Never rushed, never made me feel like I was just another customer. They made me feel as family. I have been to other funerals BUT this experience was different!!! The loss of a love one is traumatic, for me it was. You want to give the final farewell as special it can be without being taking advantage off. Good Life funeral home made my father farewell memorable. Thank you so much for everything. I can’t thank enough Good Life Funeral Home for making this difficult time for me so smooth and comforting. I highly recommend them.

In our time of sorrow and pain at the passing of my wife’s mother Ramona Cruz the funeral director Sarah, and Angela, and all who worked with them were very loving and caring. Thank you so much for all the many things you did to make Ramona Cruz services so very special, she looked beautiful and the room and all the arrangements for the wake were beyond compare everything was perfect. Everyone was so appreciative of the video it was moving and touching to us all . Your extra attention to all the many details and many extra things you did will always be in our hearts Angel and Maria and fam

The Good Life Community Funeral and Cremation were very, very helpful in my time of need. My oldest son passed in his sleep and when I was told to call a funeral home to assist I could not think. I went to google and started looking. They had a 4.7 out of 5 rating and that is what made me contact them. I was so pleased with their kindness and compassion. They were prompt and very accommodating. When I went in to set up everything I found out that they also furnished a no charge obituary on their website. Then when I picked up his remains, again they were so understanding. I know this is part of their job but I dealt with all 3 ladies there and all were outstanding. I know it is a hard time when you have to do this but I totally recommend Good Life Community Funeral and Cremation. Again I thank you ladies.

I have utilized the services of Good Life for both of my parents and they have exceeded my expectations both times. They are prompt from start to finish, they are thorough, providing great information and answering all questions, and the staff inform you of all your options without pressing you to do anything more than you wish. I find this refreshing, particularly at an already difficult time. The staff are friendly, comforting and helpful and I would highly recommend them to anyone I know.

Its been 6 months since I lost my first born son Roger, Jr. and I am finally able to deal with writing my review of Good Life Funeral Home. If there was one bright spot in going through the ordeal of losing my son and best friend in life it was dealing with Sarah and the staff at Good Life.They all know what you are going through at this dreadful time in your life and do their very best to make your experience a caring and respectful one. They make you feel like they are part of your family and are going through the same feelings you are. They are pleasant, respectful, and offer the sincerest sympathy you so need and deserve.Sarah explains the entire process step by step, including different products and services and the price for each. She doesnt push things on you but rather leaves it to you to decide what you want. Their prices are very reasonable and their service is excellent, handling only one funeral service at a time.I want to thank the entire staff at Good Life Funeral Home and Crematory for making my sons service a beautiful, sacred one and my experience as pain free as possible. Thank you so much, Sarah.I would highly recommend their service and expertise to everyone. It is definitely a five star experience.Roger HartOrlando, Fl.

Sarah you brought comfort and compassion to our entire family at a very difficult time. You may say that is your job; however, I feel you went above and beyond that in answering questions, filling my requests for many items, and handling our large family with so much kindness. Your thoughtfulness and consideration are very appreciated. I have received so many compliments on how beautifully everything was handled - in every aspect. Your service is impeccable. I am so happy that we chose to use your services. —Jasmine

I had the hard task to find a funeral home when my brother suddenly passed away. A family member recommended Good Life Funeral Home. This was the first time I had to make funeral arrangments and had no idea what to do after we were notified of his passing. I called Good Life and spoke to Brittney. She explained to me the entire process from what to do next with the Sheriffs office through receiving his death certificate over the phone. Although I checked other funeral home for prices, there were no other that beat their prices and that were as clear and open with their prices and information than Good Lifes website and through our phone call. I arrived the following morning without an appointment, but Brittney and Sarah took care of us even though they had another family there. They made the process so easy when we met and were accommodating even when we had to switch the viewing time at the last minute to accommodate our family coming in from out of town. They even allowed my brothers barber go there to fix up my brother before the viewing. We were so honored and floored by their grace, professionalism, and the compassion they showed. My brother looked so good and so natural. I could not get over how great he looked on his final day with us. On behalf of the Cruz Arenas family, we want to express our sincere thank you to the staff of Good Life Funeral Home.

It has been several months since we lost MOM. As with most families we are missing her very much. Her death was a trying time for us as large family with lots of parts and pieces so to speak. I say that because Moms passing was somewhat unexpected.No plan, no preparation and no clue. We called a multitude of funeral homes trying to get help. Most were polite but something lacking. Then we called Good Life. What a pleasant surprise amidst such stress. Warm compassionate, understanding and most of all patient!! Personal service, a full explanation of process and costs without pressure. Scott and Angela were outstanding!!They also took great care to understand our financial situation and worked with our insurance company for a quick resolution of the cost issues. Death is not a pleasant experience but Good Life made everything much better.Thanks Scott and AngelaRandy P.

These people are horrible. When me and my sister had to say goodbye to our father who passed away from committing suicide after our mother passed from breast cancer they would be rude and have an attitude against us and they would make the process of making his memorial harder on us. They were judgemental and secretive. We had to have the memorial here because it was the closes memorial and that’s where they took his body while we were still on the road, rushing from California to Orlando driving. I wish all of your employees the worst. I’m saying this in the most hurtful way possible while having tears from my eyes. Childish

Our family chose Good Life Funeral Home after the passing of my father this year (2017) for cremation services. The whole staff made the process so easy for us in this difficult time of our lives by fully explaining every detail of the process, all costs and our options for services and ceremonies, and what was needed to complete his cremation. Their services were affordable for our family when we didnt have much financially. They even went above and beyond and helped us with burial services at the National VA Cemetery, which even included a flag folding ceremony with a 21-gun salute for my father, a US Navy Vet. This meant everything to our family and we would definitely recommend Good Life to anyone. Thank you all so much for your help, patience, and kindness when we needed it most!

Bad attitude. Unprofessional. When people are grieving maybe you should not take out the trash in front of everybody. People where parking their cars on the grass wich I understand that they dont like but I think its better to put up a sign instead of interrupting people since its obvious it has happened before. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

Death is never a welcomed experience. I am still heartbroken over the loss of my wife to cancer. The team at Good Life Funeral Home were so compassionate and helpful to me during the worst time of my life. I want to thank everyone for your care, patience and integrity with me during this time.

I cant say enough about the people and our experience with this funeral home. If I could give them a higher rating I would. I had the task of finding a funeral home as my Mom was admitted into hospice home care. She was still with me but still I had to make decisions about what we were going to do when that dreaded day came. I called the Social Worker assigned to us through Kindred Hospice. She supplied me with a list of local funeral homes to contact. I thought it was going to be a one shot deal. I called the first one and was so disappointed with the entire conversation. Although very nice it just didnt feel right. So I continued to call more on the list and felt the same way. I gave up on the list and went to google. I found Good Life Funeral Home and Cremation. A girl named Brittany answered and within 3 minutes of speaking with her I found what I was looking for and felt what I was needing to feel. The comfort level was there. This was my Mom I was looking for. Brittany (from Good Life) has a job that few people want but it was clear she loves her job and is very good at it. My Mom passed after a few weeks and I was once again on the phone with Brittany. She had given me all the information I needed during that first call so all I needed to do was make an appointment with her to make the final arrangements. She made it so easy. I would not use any other funeral home. I cant say enough about how great the staff is here at Good Life. Its a 5 PLUS from us.....

Its not often that people exceed your expectations but the Team at Good Life certainly made a difficult time better through their care and understanding. Sarah lead the way and I cant say enough about how pleased I was with her and the other team members and their services. This is not a service that you would think about using again or often but as it is an inevitable part of life I would simply share that while it was clear that other providers use the vulnerable state of their customers grief to their advantage, I felt I was in good hands with Good Life and give them (and Sarah!) my highest recommendation and gratitude.

My brother recently passed away and I had the duty of finding a funeral home as my mother was in no mental or physical state to do so. I called the place we used for my fathers passing in 2004, and a few other East Orlando locations. One location made me feel like I was buying a car in the way they priced things out and gave a discount. Goodlife overall made my mother feel confident in choosing them. The ladies were very kind and informative when it came to price, and had different levels of service we could choose from. My mother was very pleased with how much time they provided for family time and service and their flexibility. They had the option for us to bring in our own music, photos that they uploaded and did a slideshow with, and an area to bring food or drinks if we decided. Overall, the facility is renovated and very clean. I give the women at Goodlife 5 stars for their help in this unfortunate time in our lives. Thank you!

It’s going to be pretty difficult to write this review but I’m so passionate about the experience that our family received with this business that it simply couldn’t wait.We had a funeral home planned but were unable to use them due to them having too many clients when our family member passed. We called several funeral homes but finally got to The Good Life Funeral Home.Brittany answered our call immediately (quite literally first ring). I explained our situation and she offered sympathy and comfort. She walked me through what everything we had planned would be with them and their process. I felt so at ease after talking to her that it really cushioned the blow of our family member passing a couple hours later.Again, we knew this was coming so we had hospice at home who called to pick up our family member. Brittany and Omar showed up at the house almost immediately and greeted me with the warmest welcome you could imagine at a time like that. Being that it was December 30th we were fully prepared to have to wait until after the holiday to do anything. However, since we had to get our family member to Puerto Rico immediately Brittany met us in their office the next day (On a Sunday; New Year’s Eve nonetheless).Brittany greeted us again warmly and made everyone feel like they were at home. She was kind and more patient then I would expect anyone to be with that many opinions flying around. She walked us through the funeral home and explained how everything would work.Brittany continued to work behind the scenes to help us sort out all the little details (death certificate, travel itinerary, etc.).Now we get to the day of the service. We were warmly greeted by Pamela, Sarah and Angela who helped us manage the ceremony that day. They had a beautiful book, prayer cards and everything else set up and ready to go. The funeral home also provides coffee and allows you to bring whatever snack items you’d like.Everyone there that day truly helped make the experience so unique. We had people commenting to us that they had almost forgotten they were at a funeral but felt like they were at someone’s home.I especially appreciated the demure approach of managing details behind the scenes. I made them aware that I would be the point of contact for the event. Any time a question needed answering they privately pulled me to the side and no one was the wiser.The very next day I got a call from Angela to come pick up the death certificates. She was so kind, warm and professional through the whole process, and this was no exception.Fast forward now to transporting our family member home to Puerto Rico. As you can imagine, things on the island are still a mess from the hurricane. The funeral home/cemetery that our family uses as a final resting place is in a remote part of the island. They had to contract another home to store our family member and had a VERY small window in which they could pick her up on January 5th. This presented very unique challenges in getting her to the airport departing Orlando.Initially, there were a lot of issues getting our family member accepted at the airport. Brittany, Sarah and Angela did not let this stand in their way. Upon being denied at the initial time we were quoted, everyone worked with me to figure out the issue and get it addressed. Then, knowing the incredibly tight timeline we had the next day, they went above and beyond to transport our family member to the airport well after the close of business.While this is beyond their job description, they quite literally took every opportunity to ensure this transition home was successful. I have had the unfortunate opportunity to work with several funeral homes in the past. I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that this experience will forever change my perception of the experience.I can’t thank Brittany, Sarah, Angela, Pamela and Omar enough. Should you and your family ever need to find a funeral home to really take care of your loved one don’t hesitate to contact The Good Life Funeral Home.

I want to give the most sincere thanks to the Director and Angela for all the attention they gave us and for having had patience in every question we had. They always treated us with respect and a lot of love. They are very professional with their work, every detail was taken into consideration, and everything they offered and talked about was deliverable and much more. The place was perfect for what we were looking for; We wanted something very personal and at home. In addition to how clean everything was. They never rushed us or put pressure on us while we were in the middle of moms death, since we did not have funeral arrangements ready when mom died. We will always be grateful for our part and our family. Thank you!!!
