    Fernwood was the first and last place we looked at in our search because we fell in love with it (though you'd never think you can fall in love with a funeral home or cemetery). Everyone at Fernwood became like a family to us during this short but extremely vulnerable time there, letting us go through our grief while taking care of the transportation, cremation and celebration of life. Thank you Raymond, Jermaine, Alicia, Paula and Priscila. We will never forget what you did for us during such difficult time of our lives.

    I swear wish I could of done my fathers funeral service but due to covid regulations wasn't able to water fall just beautiful.

    I want to be buried in a pine box and silently rot away in Marin. My friends can find me via GPS tracker on their cell phone and hike around me and have a picnic. "A modern natural burial is an environmentally sustainable alternative to existing funeral practices where the body is returned to the earth to decompose naturally and be recycled into new life....Planting native trees, shrubs and flowers on or near the grave establishes a living memorial and helps form a protected wildlife preserve.....These sacred and natural places leave a legacy of care and respect for our planet.....Natural burial is a statement of personal values for many people who seek to minimize their impact on the planet. For people who are mindful of the cyclical nature of life, natural burial is a spiritually fulfilling alternative to the conventional funeral." Jessica Mitford would be proud.

    My mom chose the Green Burial (body to earth) burial, where Fernwood has an entire section amid beautiful trees and rolling hills.

    We had a truly beautiful experience with Valley Memorial Park Cemetery, Funeral Home, and Reception…read moreCenter during one of the most difficult times in our lives. From the very beginning, their team was patient, compassionate, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. After a previous experience with another funeral home where everything felt urgent, this was completely different. The atmosphere here was serene, welcoming, and allowed us the space to breathe, ask questions, and make decisions with care. We genuinely felt supported every step of the way. Because of this experience, I now feel inspired to plan my own arrangements ahead of time so my family can focus on grieving and being together, rather than navigating logistics during such a painful time. I am deeply grateful for the care they provided. 10/10, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of compassionate and professional funeral services.

I would have highly recommend ed and given them 5 stars even then. But now, I'd give them 10 stars if I could. They were amazing as I navigated through last minute, challenging complications with my mom's remains leading up to her burial.... and they didn't even handle her or cremate her when she passed (an East Bay mortuary did). They truly went above and beyond even coming to pick up my moms remains at my home and finding a way to ensure it would arrive safely close to her burial site since I could not take her on a plane with her urn. They were kind, compassionate, professional, thorough, and go above and beyond at a time when it's really needed. Thank you Eugene, in particular!

    Death can be overwhelming, especially the arrangements after. My guy was from SF and we lived in…read moreOakland. I wanted to return him home. Everyone knows about the Neptune society, and when I read about their process I looked for something else as they take you on large boat with other folks sending their loved ones off to sea and they only schedule monthly. We already had a celebration of life where tons of people showed up but we wanted something more intimate and private for the final send off. I found this service via Yelp. I sent an e-mail to inquire about the process and William promptly called me back the next day. He explained what he did and sounded just like something we wanted and that my dearly departed would have loved. I booked and received a prompt response, with a reminder to e-mail a copy of the scattering permit when I received it and the address and instructions for when we arrived. On the morning off, William sent a text message with same info. My brother-in-law got there before and William called to guide us how to get there. We all arrived and got on the boat, I think it's probably referred to at a cuddy cabin. It was cute and we step on and do go down into the cabin. Will makes sure you put your life jackets on and sign a waiver. He explained the process and away we went. The weather was great and as we approached the spot, we were escorted by a couple porpoises ? Will stopped in a spot with the golden gate to our right san francisco to our left and he helped me undo the bag and we gently scattered the ashes as he slowly moved up and we threw flowers (he also provided some) By the end of it we were all calm and at peace. If you want a private and peaceful experience, I highly recommend you book with this company.

My mom's wishes were to have her ashes spread. She was the planner in the family, and without her, the responsibility fell upon me. She was not a religious person and so the nature of the "event" was a real question in my mind. I was concerned all the invitees would show up and not know what to do or say. That's where Katherine came into the picture. She knew how to add a structure where there was none. She knew how to create and event of significance. She understood. Quickly, the event began to take a shape. The pre planning was efficient and Katherine always made herself available to us. Communication was very good. Lastly, translating the planning to the actual event went flawlessly. There were so many things that could go wrong. What if it rains? What if there's no wind?.. etc... Katherine took away my worries and made them her responsibility. She would adapt. This allowed me to "be" there for my mom's ceremony rather than be the planner. She is a kind, intelligent, professional, and we are so glad she was an important part of our event. I would recommend her highly and give her high marks for her adaptability. Thank you once again Katherine.

So I didn't have very much time to do any research, but in speaking to the hospice people and a few others, the name of Adobe Creek kept coming up. I was a bit under the gun because my daughter needed to return to college and we wanted to make sure that she was here for the service. The cremation, which my mother requested, took about a week. Everything went smoothly and I had about as good as an experience as you could imagine. Other than the cremation, getting the death certificate and selecting an urn I didn't use all of their services, but my experience was top-notch.
