My daughter was visiting family in Clearwater in August and suddenly passed away. We lived in Orlando and had no idea what we were going to do. I called several funeral homes needing help right away and every funeral home of course took advantage of our situation as far as the charges and could not accommodate our needs. I finally found Sunset Point Cremation and Funeral Services and spoke to Daren on Sunday August 30, 2015. We had no idea how we were going to begin to handle this I spoke to Daren and explained our situation. My oldest daughter, son-in-law and also best friend drove from Orlando to be there for me through this time and that I really needed to get things handled right away. Daren who actually was off and mowing his lawn took the time on his day off to come into the funeral home and guide me in what could be done. He made arrangements to pickup my daughter from the Medical Examiners office and brought her back to Sunset Point and prepared her so that the family could have a private viewing that afternoon. Daren held my hand and guided me with respect and care through the most difficult time in my families life. He was a God send and I cannot say enough about the services they provided without taking advantage at such a sad time. I will never forget what he did for me and my loved ones. God Bless you all at Sunset Point and I will be forever grateful. Pamela Heaney

My brother and I recently used the services of Sunset Point Funeral Home after the death of our mother here in Clearwater. While I am local, my brother lives out of state, and the two of us stopped in while he was here visiting to speak with Ron Mees as we knew our mothers "time" was nearing. Ron was very helpful, professional and made the two of us feel very welcome! At no point was there any "pressure" of a sales pitch - which we HAD received just in making phone calls to other local facilities. When our mom passed a very short time later, both Ron and Daren Sternad made the process as easy as possible from my first phone call to them. My entire family was treated with such compassion and care, it was quite a refreshing experience. One of the most amazing aspects of their service for myself, was the wonderful preparation that Daren delivered of my moms appearance for us for our viewing. He not only captured her true essence, but our last moments spent in our mothers presence we were able to view her having such beauty, dignity and grace....that was a true blessing for me. I will HIGHLY recommend the services offered at Sunset Point to anyone in need during the death of a loved one.

Sunset Point Funeral Home was a life saver. My dad passed away March 12th and he ended up at a "BIG" funeral home in Clearwater. I called the "BIG" funeral home and they told me it would take two weeks to cremate him. I thought that was crazy, since we live in South Carolina and have never heard of anything like that. We started calling around and we got the same answer from several other funeral homes. Then we called Daren at Sunset Point at 6:21 P.M. on March 13th a Friday and he said he could get it done by Tuesday March 17th or Wednesday the 18th. Daren took a very complicated situation dealing with a VA doctor and the local state officials and he personally did all of the really difficult, next to impossible, leg work. Daren came through for us and got everything done by Wednesday March 18th, even with all the government offices being closed on Saturday and Sunday. We were able to come in from out town and have a funeral for my dad on Thursday the 19th of March. My whole family was all able to get the closer we needed in three days rather then three weeks the "BIG" funeral homes told us. We are so grateful for Daren simplifying such a complicated process for us during such a difficult time.

With the passing of my father, I knew we would need to work with a funeral home including the purchase of a casket and funeral services. Admittedly, I went into this encounter with some preconceived ideas about the funeral industry and the high-pressure sales pitches to spend a lot of money when the customer is grief-stricken and in a position of vulnerability. For that reason, instead of sending my mom to do this on her own, my two brothers and I accompanied her. What a pleasant surprise we were in for. Andrew was professional, not pushy in any way, and he truly listened. He did not steer us at all toward the most expensive options. He simply pointed out the pros and cons in the various decisions to be made. I felt like he would have done the exact same thing if it were his own mother he was dealing with. From that first meeting, to the funeral itself, to the graveside service, its clear that Andrew knows exactly how to handle every situation so that the family bears no extra burdens during this difficult time. My mom and our whole family can happily recommend Andrew and the Sunset Point Funeral Home to anyone.

My sister passed away on Christmas Eve. As her sister I was trying to organize services on Christmas Day- which as one might know on Christmas is extremely difficult. My sister lived in Florida while the rest of us are from Boston, which just added another layer of difficulty. Andrew immediately answered the phone and got all of my questions covered when I spoke with him on Christmas. He was very transparent about cost and there were no hidden expenses. Andrew was very comforting to myself and my parents who were having a very tough time throughout this traumatic experience. He also was very clear in what needed to happen prior to the cremation process, and talked us through all of the steps. Andrew helped us figure out the logistics of getting my sister back to Massachusetts, and he knew we were on a tight time frame. Andrew was very quick and always kept me updated on everything that was going on. Thank you to Andrew and everyone at Sunset Point Funeral Home for an amazing job well done.

My Uncle, that my two children and I were taking care of, passed away after living with us for a year. The very next day, my 19 year old son was killed by a hit and run drunk driver, coming home from the movies. This has been the darkest time of my life, and the Funeral Director - Andrew Winterkorn - at Sunset Point Funeral Home was so wonderful. I found great comfort knowing that, in this end stage - after they both have left me, the earthly vessels of my son and uncle were cared for by someone who displayed such caring and respect. Andrew made this difficult time as easy as he possibly could for me, and the entire time I honestly felt as if I was his only patron. Now that everything is complete, I feel as if I have gained a close family member. Everyone who uses Sunset Point will experience this same warmness in a time when it is most needed - as he AND his staff are amazing.
