If I could give negative stars I would…read more After being sold to another company years ago (Dignity Memorial, based in Houston Texas, which happens to be the world's largest funeral/cemetery/crematory chain), Cascade Memorial became focused on profit, not service. Not alerting families of this change or giving them any chance to go over new or "needed" paperwork (on their end), when they sold out. While this may have been a smooth transition for most, for others, it's caused upset, acute distress, frustration, extreme anxiety and overwhelming emotional dysregulation. At a time in families lives, a company like this, should be helping guide and ease their grieving process... not add to the heartbreak and worsen the pain. Being in this business requires a level of compassion that Cascade Memorial clearly lacks. Staff have lied to both families and state offices about paperwork needing to be filed. Lack of accountability is an understatement. Email threads, phone calls, paper trails and learning the history of this company being sued for similar reasons (they will be hearing from more attorneys and possible news outlets soon) has been beyond shocking and traumatic. Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult challenges someone will face, and to "hold" a body for over not just one but two months?! Is disgusting, shameful, abhorrent, evil and when it comes down to it, inexcusable. This company should be ashamed of what they are putting some families through and I will make sure that I never, ever recommend this place. Cascade Memorial and frankly, the other South Sound Region places Dignity Memorial owns (just to be safe) have been black listed from anywhere I will recommend patients and families. I am disgusted and disappointed and hope that someday, this place can change for the better... but for now, this review is to warn others to stay away, change memorials or at least be aware of the pain and suffering they are causing. The recent things they have said and done shouldn't be legal, and frankly, that'll be run by an attorney as well. I wouldn't be surprised if they have this comment taken down, because it doesn't just speak truth, but it threatens an image that they are failing to uphold and like most "big box" type companies, they like to make these kinds of "problems" (because that's all this seems to be to them, not about an actual PERSON) disappear. The deceased are not paperwork, grieving families are not problems to be managed, and human dignity should never become collateral damage in the pursuit of profit.

Angela helped us make all the arrangements and was so personable and caring. In the end, the cost was significantly lower than the funeral home in SLC who did far less.

The staff were very professional and helped the experience feel organized and streamlined.

We felt very respected and cared for during the entire event, and the tech (like mics, tv, audio) were prepared well and of high quality, and did not take away from the eulogies and mourning experience.

The person who died would have wanted extra money to be spent on helping living people, not an extravagant funeral or expensive coffin. We were able to donate some money with what we saved.

A loved one passing is emotionally devastating to say the least. Unfortunately when this happens…read morethere are many things which must still be handled regardless of one's grief, which are time sensitive. This includes finding a final resting place, or a place which will do the cremation depending on the wishes of a loved one. Having something pre planned is ideal, but not always done ahead of time. When my mother died it was within a few weeks after she moved from Santa Fe to Seattle. Because of this we were left scrambling to find a funeral home. I tried doing a Google and Yelp search of funeral homes and found that this task, which one would have thought would be simple, was anything but. You don't want to use some shady company, and it was amazing how many sketchy places came up in my search. I literally spent all night trying to find somewhere that I thought would be appropriate, but keep coming up with a lot of recommendations which I felt were anything but. Finally Cedar Lawns hit my radar and they were who I went with. Roxanne helped me through a very difficult time, and she did so in a manner which was both compassionate and stress free. They arranged to have my mom's remains transferred from the hospital to their care for cremation. Took care of notifying social security, handling the death certificate and answered innumerable questions. I know that this is something which all funeral homes are responsible for doing, but I am sure that many of them could easily use your grief to upsell you into services you don't want. This was not the case, and she never rushed me into making a decision. The details were handled smoothly and efficiently and I never once worried about how her remains were being handled. She was wonderful to work with and if you ever need to use a funeral home I highly recommend this one and Roxanne in particular. Although we had our mother cremated, if she had wished to be buried I think she would have approved of resting in their cemetery, which is well tended, peaceful and quiet despite being in Redmond. My father is 91 and suffers from dementia and prostrate cancer, so I am fairly certain I will be needing a funeral home in the near future as much as I hate to say it. At least this time I will know exactly where to go to make a difficult time less stressful.
