Shelbyville, KY Cremation Services

Patty Marguet

Our family managed the arrangements for the cremation of my father-in-law after we decided to hold his tribute at Locust Grove rather than at a funeral home. Princessa Rios was our primary contact at Magnolia Cremations, guiding us through the process of filing the legal paperwork to obtain the death certificate, selecting an urn and personal keepsakes, and helping us arrange for the vault that will be used by the cemetery to bury his ashes. Abby Elliot helped with the initial paperwork and posting the obituary I wrote on the Magnolia website. Both Princessa and Abby were thoughtful, kind, and patient with our emotions, our grief, and all of our questions. I highly recommend the services provided at Magnolia Cremations. They helped us orchestrate a sweet, memorable tribute to my father-in-law, bringing us some closure to his passing.

Magnolia cremation has been a bright light in a dark time. They have gone above and beyond for my siblings and I. Princessa has answered every question with kindness and the utmost care. She has been compassionate, caring, and supportive. We wouldn't have been able to get through this without her help and the help of the entire magnolia staff. They definitely went above and beyond for us. I would 100% recommend them to anyone thinking of cremation for their loved one.

Magnolia has taken care of me and my many family members since 2020. Princessa Rios is a new addition to an already wonderful group of people. She put up with my many changes and requests with a smile. I totally trust Magnolia for all my “dying” needs.

Josie Powell

Magnolia cremations as a whole and their team of Princessa and Abby truly went above and beyond for my family. They helped me every step of the way and were so kind a patient. Communication was top notch. I was told to call anytime and was always answered immediately. I was never rushed to make any decision and was honestly surprised as to how affordable the cremation was as my family member did not have life insurance.

Princessa is like a person of royalty. A true Princess of kindness, compassion, and love. Her gentleness in presence, her peaceful nature, her big warm hugs made me feel like I was not alone but I was amongst a true sister and friend!! I could not have asked for a more Perfect Princess to receive me and help me with receiving my loving husband of 30 years. She was able to help my remember the joy of my husband by sharing some of joys of our life. Plus we listened to some great music that made it even better!!!

Magnolia Cremations were fantastic to work with during a very difficult time. The price is right, it shouldn’t be expensive to have a loved one cremated with no additional services. Every person that we spoke with was absolutely as genuine as could be with their condolences. Princessa was so kind and patient to speak with and gave us some very valuable information that we didn’t realize we needed for transport of the cremains to New York State. Thank you so much for your help and your kindness.

Princessa was one of the sweetest, most caring persons I have ever met. She was very attentive and caring when I arrived at Magnolia. She needs to be recognized as this. I felt she was just adorable.

Cecil Asberry

Lost my wife and had no idea where to turn to for help. I contacted Magnolia Cremations & spoke to Princessa. She walked me through every step with the patience of a saint. Very sweet and caring young lady. She was a God send in my time of need. I will always be grateful. After the whole process she still doesn't hesitate to help in anyway. God Bless their whole team especially Princessa. Thank you.

Our needs were completely met and exceeded by Magnolia. Every time I called the phone was answered promptly and all my requests were taken care of. When I visited in person they were very caring and personable. I highly recommend them.

Jake Stewart

I spoke with Abby and Princessa on different occasions and both ladies were very helpful and so compassionate. Our loss was unexpected and they both made this difficult time a little bit easier for us which I didn’t think would be possible. They are both wonderful. I can’t recommend Princessa, Abby, and Magnolia Cremations enough. Thank you for everything!!

Aleecea Ledford

Magnolia Cremations were helpful during an obviously difficult time. Princessa and Abby assisted our family quickly and compassionately as my uncle was 2 hours drive away and needed arrangements made from the facility the same day he passed.

My Mother’s passing was a shock and I was left to figure out her details. My husband found this place for me and they were a true blessing. I thought this was going to be stressful during such a difficult time, it was nothing but a smooth process. I worked with Abby and she was truly a gentle person handling my mom’s details. Thank you Abby and Princessa.

Wow, I couldn’t have asked for a better group of ladies, especially Abby Elliot!
I’m even impressed with the cost of what I needed! They handled my mom with such care and respect! They did everything I requested the way I wanted and the way my mom told me she wanted. The loss of my mom is insurmountable but I know she’s watching from above and I will see her again one day!
If you’re experiencing such a loss and are looking for a great company, reasonable pricing and awesome staff please look up Abby with Magnolia Cremation!
Thank you all so very much for everything!!

Abby from Magnolia Cremations is such a kind, caring person, who goes the extra mile for her clients. We are so very grateful for her extra effort and her big heart. Thank you for bringing the DNA sample to the lab, Abby.

Professional, timely and courteous during a difficult time. We appreciate Princessa and the entire staff.

Kurt Schultz

It isn't really ever an enjoyable thing when you have to pick a crematorium, but these folks were the best. We had a pretty horrible experience with a different "affordable" business a few years back that made the situation go from sad to mad over five weeks. Magnolia Cremations let us do everything online, they were very upfront about their costs and prices and were very prompt (less than 5 business days). By far the best crematory experience I have ever had. Very professional staff and handy location.

Steve Kahl

Princess’s was very helpful through the whole process we couldn’t have done this without her help.

I can't begin to thank everyone especially Abby for all the help and assistance with the passing of my husband. The kindness and compassion showed me made this experience very easy. I highly recommend the services provided.

Sarah Smith
