Obviously this is emotional, my mom died. I was referred to…read moreTulip and at first they were super. I had a specific outreach person to go to, they were kind and explained to me what would happen. They said I could get the death certificates myself, or they could do it but it would take six weeks. When she died on 12/14 they were contacted and i was told she would be cremated within a couple weeks. around 12/18 i got an email that she had been intaken and the cremation would happen within a couple weeks. the next monday I got a notification from USPS that she was being delivered that week, in the middle of the holidays, well before i was emotionally prepared for it. I called Tulip and got a lot of apologies, they assume the Crematorium wanted to get it done before the holiday; i did not appreciate it. then, although i did all the paperwork correctly, the county sent back my request for death certificates. not Tulip's fault, but when i said i'd just wait six more weeks at this point and could they please do it, is when they let me know there was a $100 charge. I asked if they wouldn't wave it, since they sent my mom's ashes early, during the holidays, and they said no they couldn't. considering i'd already given them so much money and they'd made my holiday's worse, it would have been really kind and i would not be here writing this negative review. find someone who cares to take care of your loved one, this company only cares about money. oh they also told me they had resources for the bereved, but it's just a page of articles. google is better.

I cannot thank the team at Honor Cremation enough for the care they showed my family during my…read moremom's cremation and memorial process. Losing a parent is incredibly hard, but they handled everything with such a high level of dignity and grace that it truly eased some of the burden for us. Communication: From the very first call, I felt heard and supported. They were incredibly patient with all of my questions and kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind. The Process: I found their approach to be very modern, transparent, and straightforward. There was never any pressure or "salesy" feeling, just genuine empathy and a focus on what my mother and our family needed. The Memorial: They helped us navigate the details for her memorial with so much respect. Everything was handled professionally, allowing us to focus on honoring her memory rather than worrying about the logistics. I am so grateful to have had their guidance during this time. If you are looking for a team that treats your loved ones with true honor and provides a seamless, compassionate experience, I cannot recommend them highly enough. I also really appreciated the honesty in their business model. I know it could technically be cheaper if they did every single thing in-house, but they intentionally use outside sources for certain steps to ensure everything is handled by specialists. I actually felt like I got more value this way because I knew I was getting the best possible care at every stage. It's also worth noting for other families that they don't have an embalming service; they focus purely on a dignified, natural process which was exactly what we wanted for my mom. I am so grateful to have had their guidance during this time. If you are looking for a team that treats your loved ones with true honor and provides a seamless, compassionate experience, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Honor Cremation, for taking such wonderful care of my mom.

Customer service: 5/5 Value: 3.5/5 Execution: 5/5 From a service standpoint, they excellent. The team is available 24 hours via phone and text. For the majority of my work with them, they were extremely responsive, had good pass downs between shifts and team members, and worked to meet all our needs and timelines. They never pressured us into anything or upsold us. They just wanted to support whatever we needed. My family needed an expedited cremation and memorial all within a week of my family member passing and Honor Cremations was able to make that happen and get the paperwork done with the county in that timeframe. Honor's paid casket option was cheaper than other crematories and was a very nice, presentable casket. Honor does not embalm in house but has embalming providers they can work with. The only reason I would hesitate to select Honor again is because other crematories were more cost effective (up to $1000 cheaper for our package selections), but Honor did what they could to reduce costs and provide flexible options and offerings. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others if service and empathy is a top priority.

From the very first conversation, Olga made an incredibly difficult time feel manageable. She was…read morethorough, attentive, and genuinely cared about taking care of our loved one and us. What truly set her apart was when we needed to relocate our loved one's remains to another city. This is not a simple process, and Olga became our true advocate every step of the way.

Olga treated our family with dignity and compassion throughout, and her dedication made an already painful experience far more bearable.

Potential tax fraud! Extremely terrible service. Don't go here if you love your passed away…read morefamily. We came here for my grandma who passed from covid19 Dec 2021 since we were recommended as this was a sudden death cost and this place was said to be CHEAP. Apparently, you get what you paid for. Initially, everything was promised and a pretty picture was painted to getting the tombstone done etc. Fast forward, months later (nearly half a year) POST-burial..we check, and no photo or inscriptions written on the tombstone. We are already going through so much torment during this period. Yet we had to constantly call them asking many times to follow up, and they had the audacity to yell at us, & ignore our calls. Half-done job (months later), and then tell us they don't want to do it anymore and give us some money back. Really? We told them that we need receipts to claim for covid19 burial services, yet its almost been half a year, and they are still ignoring us and so I cant proceed with the claims. Still waiting now, and still getting hung up on the calls by Cynthia Yang (director). Very shady & unprofessional service. Don't come here. They might have some tax fraud going on, so they won't give us proper receipts. Now we are worried about retaliation, yet I believe this is something righteous to do and everyone should be able to see the truth to make a well informed decisions for their loved ones. If I could turn back time, I rather pay double the cost and not come to this place. If I could give this place negative stars, it is what represent their business. (1st time I feel this way about a business which really says a lot)....

Capt Ron and Jim made sure my family and I were well taken care of and walked us through the scattering of the ashes. We were able to pinpoint where exactly we wanted to scatter my uncle's ashes and Capt Ron and Jim provided us with a card noting that latitude and longitude of the location for a nice memory and keepsake of my uncle. While Capt Ron drove the boat, Jim the deck hand conversed with us all and directed us on how to properly scatter the ashes on the bay water. Both Capt Ron and Jim were very knowledgeable regarding the safety rules when on the ship while also making sure we had a sweet memorial service for my uncle as a family. 10/10 recommend Marin Memorial Services!

As I walked in, I was greeted by someone who was eating Panda Express at the front desk and wrapped in what appeared to be a blanket. It was hard to feel like I was in a professional environment, especially while grieving. I chose Driscoll's because they are known for their professionalism during sensitive times like this. While the rest of the staff were kind, respectful, and presented themselves well, this particular employee stood out for all the wrong reasons. She later helped guide my family into the chapel, and it was disappointing to see that she was dressed in tennis shoes and a casual sweater -- not attire I would expect from someone representing a funeral home. Several members of my family commented on how out of place and inappropriate it felt. I truly appreciated the kindness of the rest of the staff, but I hope that management addresses the importance of maintaining a professional and compassionate presence, especially at the front desk.
