After a terrible experience with another funeral home that rushed us and showed no respect for our…read moregrief, we found this place through a friend whose family they had previously served with dignity. The difference was night and day. They understood that saying goodbye can't be rushed and gave us all the time we needed with my father. Their staff was genuinely compassionate, never pushy about costs, and worked around our timeline rather than forcing us into theirs. They treated my father--and our family--with the reverence and care we deserved during our most difficult time. It's clear they see their role as serving families, not exploiting them. We're grateful for their kindness and professionalism when we needed it most. This is how funeral services should be handled.

Ponderosa Valley Funeral Services was recommended to me and my sister by the pastor at her church. When we arrived at the funeral home, we were met with such warmth and compassion. Steve, the funeral director, is very soft spoken and was very empathetic to our situation. Never having planned a funeral before, Steve walked us through each step and was extremely patient with us and all of our questions. He made us feel so comfortable. We felt like our mom was in really good hands and being treated with the respect she deserves. He mentioned how she had a warm blanket, a pillow, night light and music playing in the background. Even though my mom might not know the difference, it was just comforting to us to know that she was well taken care of. At the private family viewing, Steve and his wife Nanci set everything up so beautifully. We were actually surprised at how good they made our mom look, given the circumstances of her death. I was afraid I wouldn't recognize her, but I did. She looked beautiful and as much like herself as she possibly could. They really did a great job and are definitely perfectionists at what they do. Even though we had the actual funeral at a church two days after the viewing, Steve and Nanci took care of our flowers and brought them and the photos from the funeral home to the church. It was one less thing for us to worry about that day. They even offered to take and donate any flowers that we didn't want to take home. Because this is an emotional time for anyone going through it, it's nice to know that your loved ones are taken care of and that you feel cared for as well. I really love the fact that it is a small, family owned business. We really felt like we got the personal attention that we needed. Every time we called, we always got Steve or Nanci on the phone. Whenever we would pull up to the front door, Steve would come outside, greet us by name and help us with anything that we needed to carry in or out. I believe it's the little details like that that really make a difference. I felt like they treated us and our mom as though we were their family members. Thank you Steve and Nanci for taking such good care of us and our mom and for putting our minds at ease during this difficult time.

However, I was caught off guard when she died on January 1 and I got the call from her nursing home at 5:30 a.m. Her body had to be moved that morning. I called 5280 at 7:00 am on January 1.

I would use them again in an instant, but hope I don't have to anytime soon. BTW always remember to order enough certified death certificates! You will need them

I will tell you my story and how I came to know about Be a Tree Cremation. My son passed away…read moreunexpectedly on 9.16.21, 12 days before his 32nd birthday, we were making plans to celebrate him, we had just talked on the phone the day before and texted before he went to bed. I will never forget the call, my life changed forever, he was my only child. I would have never thought that my healthy 31 year old son would go before me, go to sleep and never wake up. I never thought I would be seeking any type of burial services for my 31 year or old son, never thought about pre-planning for myself, just never thought about any funeral planning at all and had not talked to my son about any of this, why would I, he was young, healthy, active, outdoorsy and full of life! What I did know was that he would not want to be buried, that he loved the environment and would do anything to save it. My son loved the outdoors, nature, hiking, rock climbing, camping, white water canoeing, ice climbing and nature in general and he loved Colorado and all of its beauty. When I learned of water cremation and Be a Tree and it's founder Emily Nelson and what Be a Tree stood for, no carcinogens to pollute our air like a traditional fire cremation, I knew my son would approve. Emily and her staff at Be a Tree, were so helpful to my family, they were patient, they helped guide us, helped set up a small visitation prior to cremation, worked with us on the ceremony, my sons Celebration of Life, gave us some ideas for a venue and a Celebrant, they held our hand during the worse time of our lives. My family and I also got to know Half Moon Farm in Lakewood, after the water cremation, the liquid byproduct of water cremation is a nontoxic solution of amino acids, peptides, sugars, and soap, which makes a wonderful fertilizer that Be a Tree calls "Tree Tea", families may take some Tree Tea home to water trees and plants in their personal garden or donate to Half Moon Farm to be used on flowers and other non-edible plants; this is the option I chose. For this reason Half Moon Farm will always be a special place for me to go as well. We had some really nice bouquets of fresh cut flowers from Half Moon Farm at my sons service, they were absolutely beautiful. I will never forget the kindness that Emily and her staff showed to my son and my family; they took broken people and lifted us up with love and light and helped us navigate the darkness of death. Special shout out to Emily, Sheree and our Celebrant Erin, with love always
