My grandpa's graveside funeral service was held at Maple Leaf Cemetery after he died in 2006 and…read morehis ashes were buried in his and my grandma's gravesite. The graveside funeral was easy to access though limited parking restricted the number of attendees. Since the funeral I have visited the cemetery with my family including my grandma a number of times to visit his grave. The cemetery is well maintained and there are enough roads run to make it a short walk to graves not immediately on the road, which is nice for those with difficulty walking. Deer occasionally roam through here, so my grandma and I have come on occasion to check to see if the flowers on grandpa's grave have been eaten by the deer. My grandma is not so fond of the deer, I find it poetic in a sense because deer also visit her house in Oak Harbor and eat her flowers there. The deer look after both of them and are wildlife comfort for my grandma who is coming on being a widow for 15 years now.

Super bummed that they asked me if I wanted a fingerprint of my mother's before cremation and I…read moresaid yes. After writing them for the ID number to order something on the brochure they gave us, they informed me that their scanner was broken at that time and there was no print. And they couldn't have told me that before they cremated her? I am so sad that the one thing I was looking forward to holding dear to my heart was taken from me. This is a small thing to miss, but would have meant the world to me. I would have had her finger put on ink had I known I would not be able to attain this from them.

I sat down with my family at Solie Funeral Home and immediately felt like I was in loving hands. Our funeral director, Heidi walked us through the process and eased all of our concerns, anxieties and questions with her gentle and informative guidance. We were so lucky to have her take us through this difficult path step by step along with some of her great colleagues like Len that I have gotten to know more from my father's viewing which also was so beautifully and tenderly done. While the passing of a loved one is a painful process, everyone working at Solie are truly the real angels as they tirelessly help families on a daily basis while providing a welcoming atmosphere. I can say my family and I are truly grateful for their support.

They should advise us that they will not help with the death certificates. I will not use or recommend them. No family should have to go through what we are enduring.

He comforted me by telling me to take my time in deciding when I would like to hold the cremation and if I wanted to make special arrangements. I was treated with respect and compassion with every phone call and visit to their office by the staff. I ordered a gold necklace with a fingerprint and quote which took about 6 weeks and it was beautiful. I am grateful for the recommendation from Evergreen Hospice. I highly recommend ACCA to those in need of this type of service. Thank you, ACCA!

We made the decision to prearrange our end-of-life care to help our family at that critical time…read more For us, the idea of terramation, sometimes referred to as human composting, was the most natural and gentle way to go. Once we made a visit to Return Home, the choice was easy. The staff was kind, compassionate, and professional, all with a sense of moderation that made discussions comfortable. We signed our prearrangement with confidence we took a step that will make things easier for our family. Little did we know we would need to make funeral arrangements a son of ours before our own time came. Our phone call to Return Home was answered immediately, and Director of Family Care, Brie Smith, took care of the logistical tasks, then worked with us to set up a memorial service for the family that we conducted in a lovely space on site. Following the memorial service, we made visits to our son as he was undergoing his terramation journey. We sat with him and admired the decorations and pictures so lovingly placed by the family during the service. Now, he has returned to our home and continues to be a part of our lives in our garden. Thank you Return Home for the great care of our dear son, and the kind attention you paid to our needs. Everyone we encoutered at Return Home on our visits treated us with the same considerate manner we experienced with Brie. We now have first-hand knowledge of what our own family will experience when they work with Return Home on our behalf. We could not be more pleased.
