I arrived just after 4:30 only to discover they were closed. So I went to see if they had posted hours by the door. Just then some guy rolls up tells me they are closed, thanks captain obvious. Then proceeds to ask me a bunch of questions which i was in no mood for. Not very tactful so I did not respond kindly. I hope to god this is not the beginning of a regretful experience. From the looks of these reviews I am quite concerned. People are mourning their loved ones, don't berate them with a bunch of questions just because you geniuses don't have the common sense to post your hours anywhere online. Do better!!!!

When my cousin, who was my best friend as well, passed away at the beginning of the year, my family…read morewas really having a hard time with his death. We heard something good about this funeral home and thought we would try them out to create a wonderful service for our loved one. I just wanted to warn some people before you waste your money at this place, these people are very fake and two-sided. They seemed nice off the bat, but during the reception for my cousin's service, as I was coming out of the restroom, I overheard two of the staff of this funeral home speaking ill of my late cousin. I was so appalled and didn't want to make a scene, and I had to go sit in my car and take a few breathers so I didn't go smack somebody. If you want a funeral home that will take care of your loved one until they are in their final resting place, DON'T GO HERE! If they are happy to speak in such negativity towards their clients, they deserve to have an honest review here. Once again, I am absolutely appalled. What they need is new management and a whole new staff.

First we drove into Gate 1 which must have been the original entrance. There was an old, beautiful building that was locked - we were told later that it used to be the main building but they now have a new building that is more updated. We did drive around at the first area which was absolutely beautiful. There were many trees and old graves. We exited the park and drove around to the main entrance and noticed how very large the park is. We were there during the summer where they limit water use. Very much like the other cemeteries we visited, most of the grassy areas were brown. In the fall and winter the rains apparently make it lush and green. We met with Jesze Moloney who was so very kind. He drove us thru the park, showing us the different areas and pointing out the plots that were available and we went over prices. It was very clear to us which area our father would have picked - the Imperial area complete with a pagoda and water fountain - the area was apparently designed with the help of a Feng Shui expert. Jesze walked us through the whole process and bent over backwards to help us thru everything. We are so grateful to him for making the process as smooth as possible. On the day of the funeral, they did a lovely set up in the pagoda per our request. We appreciated the individual tissue packages on each chair. Jesze made sure that our flowers remained on the grave site and sent us photos. He's a true gem of a human and having him by our side thru this difficult time was a true gift.

We had to chase them over and over again. When we did get a call they said they would be here 615 or 630. They finally arrived at 730pm without any sort of notification. I know things happen and come up, but even on a Saturday one would expect some sort of dialog between Neptune and my family about my Mom's remains. Let alone that my 87 year old Father had to wait in limbo while the love of his life lay motionless in the next room. They made an already difficult day even more stressful. Again, nothing against the lovely people who did show up. But this is a service that we are paying for at a time of distress and sadness and this felt like a big fail. A simple phone call to say that they were behind schedule would have made all the difference. I only hope the rest of the process with Neptune is better.

The Willamette National Cemetery is a resting place for deceased military and their spouses…read more The administrative building is near the entrance. You can pick up a map here and get information on where your loved ones are buried. It is also the starting point for setting up services. We were here on a Monday morning for military funeral honors for recently deceased Air Force Lt Col Keith McCormick. His remains had been cremated, so the ceremony was slightly different than what you might have seen on television since there was no casket. We were given a map and directed to drive to a staging point sign where we were to remain in our cars until the director showed up. Once there, he guided the car procession to a covered pavilion where the ceremony took place. The wood pavilion was on a steep hill. This was challenging for some friends and family who used canes and walkers. We were told to be sure to have individuals with walking limitations ride in the first few cars so they wouldn't have as far to walk. November in Oregon is beautiful with the changing colors of the tree leaves. The pavilion was surrounded in gold and red trees. It was a cool, clear day, but the covered pavilion would have offered us shelter from the rain and the cold had we needed it. There were a few benches for the primary family members to sit on. The rest of us squeezed into the structure lining the back wall and beyond. In front was a small table where Keith's remains sat. Two airmen (both women actually) walked in formation to the front of the pavilion where they did the unfurling, folding, and presentation of the US flag. Off in the distance about 50 yards to the left of the structure, there were 3 airmen dressed in ceremonial uniform. They held their rifles in the air, discharged them and did the final gun salute. An airman also played taps on the bugle. It was a very quick, dignified ceremony that took less than 30 minutes. Apparently this is provided for FREE to all active military and veterans. This is a valuable benefit and only take a small bit of preparation and completion of forms to reserve ones plot, to have a headstone made, and to organize the military honors ceremony.

My only complaint would be that my loved one died on a Saturday morning. I tried to contact them on Sunday during business hours and spoke with someone who said a funeral director would call me back, but no one did. However, once I called on Monday and spoke directly with a funeral director, everything proceeded smoothly from there. All the paperwork is done on-line. Their prices are good, a big part of this is likely because the office on Millikan (in the City Hall Building in the Beaverton Round) is apparently just a small office with low overhead. The cremation is done through Riverview Abbey. It was done quickly and I was able to pick them up at the Millikan office (you can also pick up at Riverview Abbey). They can mail them to you as well. Obtaining death certificates through them was also easy, as was getting an obituary posted to their website. They are very professional, responsive, and happy to help.

For more background I contacted the Oregon cremation company shortly after my father died to arrange cremation. We had intended to donate his body to OHSU but due to his injuries this wasn't possible. We spoke with someone at the cremation company on the phone who was pleasant and sympathetic, and then paid online which was easy and straightforward. Almost one month later, after repeated phone calls and status checks we finally received confirmation my father had in fact been cremated, and his remains. When we contacted the company for more information, we were shuffled off to the "director" who was supposed to be handling the case. He was apparently a contractor, not an employee, and the Oregon cremation company made it clear it was was essentially up to him to figure things out. And if he couldn't or dropped the ball...well "just try giving him another call." At a time when when we needed to focus on grieving, we instead had to follow up and remind the "director" to get the body, and do the cremation, and get the death certificates. Where was my dads body in between when he died in the hospital and when he was cremated? They certainly couldn't tell me, and they certainly didn't seem to feel any sort of responsibility to help us through a process that we were not familiar with or to treat his remains with some sort of dignity. They did have a decent website and search placement on google, so kudos on that.
