About Personal Alternative Funeral Services

Personal Alternative Funeral Services is an independently owned funeral home in Kent, Washington, which may appeal to families who prefer working with a locally rooted provider rather than a corporate chain. They offer full-service options including both cremation and traditional burial. Their pricing is notably affordable, with direct cremation starting at $690 and traditional burial starting at $1,289, placing them at the budget-friendly end of the local market. They hold a 4.3-star rating on Google, though with only 19 reviews, that sample is relatively small and may not reflect a wide range of experiences.
