When my father passed away this past fall, my family and I knew nothing about the logistics required once someone dies, and especially how to plan a visitation service and gravesite service. Chris, Wendy, and the rest of the staff put us at ease with their sweet demeanor and willingness to patiently answer all our questions and walk us through the process while we were grieving. They were sensitive to our fragile states of mind and confident in the services and products they offered. They did a great job overall, and made my father's face look very natural for the visitation. Their meeting room was ideal for the visitation service and their professional manner allowed us to get through everything without any issues. I would highly recommend them if you find yourself in need of memorial services. read more

I had my dads funeral serviced in your Chapel back in 2021. I was happy with the service but I am needing assistance with paper work( consular mutuary certificate) to take him back to my country. I was told personally by the owner that they can provide assist in this process. However did not realize it would cost 500 dollars for it. I did the processing and it is not near 500 dollars for it. The consular mutuary certificate is just 25 dollars, the Burial transit permit is 12 dollars. Then your assistant told me that they could not process it because the crematory office got closed or no longer in service and they will not give me the request. I feel disappointed that I am being coerced to pay that 500 dollars in order to get the assistance that we need. Even the office of vital statistics was shocked hearing that it cost 500 dollars for it. read more

Wonderful owners, Wonderful staff. They took great care of our family. Provided great service. Chris, the owner took the extra time to help us with my mom's tribute page. Kind, compassionate, patient. Veteran owned. read more

We recently lost our grandmother and Heritage Olaks Memorial Chapel was beyond helpful in ensuring our celebration of life was beautifuly crafted and executed. They helped from start to finish with all the details and helped coach us through a challenging time. The systems and processes they use were so easy to use - the video, obituary, program, templates, and other services were done with their help and there was no detail that was overlooked. Chris, the owner, helped me find all the local vendors I needed and I would highly recommend them to anyone who has lost a loved one. They are a family owned and faith based business that felt so invested. Thank you Heritage Oaks!!!! We are eternally grateful! read more

After my wife was released to go home on hospice I was recommended to set up with whatever funeral homes we wished to use. After doing my research and looking at reviews I was very pleased with Heritage Oaks. When I called I talked to Monica who was very helpful and set up an appointment with Wendy. When meeting with Wendy she was very compassionate and helpful guiding me through the process. My wife and I always loved Monterey area and wished for our ashes to be spread in the bay. So she recommended a new item which looked like a pillow in whatever color you wished. She explained that the pillow would dissolve in the water. So this was good for the environment ! Three and a half weeks later my wife passed away. With Bristol Hospice-Sacramento everything was set up between the two agencies. The two people who picked up my wife were very friendly, respectful and compassionate! Heritage handled getting the death certificates, notify Social Security and getting two copies of the permits needed for the cremation. When I picked up her ashes they had it arranged with beautiful flowers and everyone there was very friendly, professional and compassionate! I was very happy with their services as they made it easier for me to get things done! read more

My father chose Heritage Oaks years ago to be proactive when he passed to make it easier on the family. I remember he told me, when he passes, just call this number and they will take care of everything. Unfortunately I had to make that call recently, but I'm truly grateful for the way I was treated at this time of uncertainty and loss. Each person I dealt with took care of me as if I was their family. Every detail was covered and as my dad told me, they did take care of everything. My heart is full and I can't thank the team/family at Heritage Oaks enough for helping me through a challenging process God bless read more

Heritage Oaks Memorial Chapel - Funeral Services & Cemeteries Near Me - Rocklin, California

We came here not knowing anything about anything. Our father passed and had no will or wishes other than to be cremated. But we knew we wanted to honor him in some way. We talked with Wendy, who walked us through everything and the pricing and what they could offer. We didn't look anywhere else after that, we booked the date immediately. Wendy was so kind and understanding. The owner Chris was very helpful and I talked to her multiple times throughout the short process before the memorial. They both were on it in making sure things went smoothly for us in this horrific time for us kids. I would highly recommend this company to help you with any after life needs. read more

Great team at Heritage Oaks Memorial Chapel, arrangements went smoothly, very kind staff.

I just had a memorial service for my father Latu. It was incredible. Chris was so helpful kind. My father would be so proud.

You must choose this amazing family to help you create the best memorial or funeral experience for your loved one. We just planned a memorial for my brother and I would have been lost without their expertise and help. Don't do anything on your own, take the weight off. For a small amount of money they do it all and you won't regret it. I was in this business and they are the best in the Sacramento area for sure. You will thank me. Renelle Jorgenson read more

Chris was compassionate and understanding. She not only walked me through the process but she took the time to share inspiring and uplifting writings. Her whole team was efficient and made this horrible process end in a beautiful tribute to my amazing father. I can't thank her enough for her services. Heritage Oaks Memorial Chapel also ends the year with a wonderful tribute to veterans. It was a very emotional way to honor our loved ones who served. read more

Our mom passed in her home on Saturday of Labor Day weekend. We called Heritage Oaks Memorial Chapel and were pleased by the facts that: 1) someone answered our call and 2) they were able to provide the service on a busy weekend, even during the pandemic. (Our family couldn't even find lodging that Saturday - that's how hectic things were). The person who answered our call was a co-owner, Jim, and he had such a soothing phone demeanor. We made calls to other mortuaries after our initial call with Jim, but they didn't match that first call to Heritage Oaks: we either received an answering service, or they couldn't provide a pickup due to distance or lack of service, or they were wishy-washy about what they would permit due to the pandemic (capacity, masks, hours of service, etc.). Heritage Oaks was not like that. Heritage Oaks was there for us from the moment we made our first call, through the process of selecting services for a our contract, to the day of setting up the memorial service. Yes, there were minor issues, such as corrections needed in the intake forms regarding the deceased (which is why they ask clients to double-check!), and they were very busy at times (understandably), but they always answered our call. Chris, the other co-owner, was wonderful to work with, helping with details about setup, brochures, and anything else that came up. When your family is grieving and going through a difficult time, having the funeral home make things easier for you makes such a difference. Family who attended the memorial were impressed by the brightness and openness of the chapel funeral home. We were able to easily hook up our laptop to display a memorial video (that our family created) onto a screen up front (my only critique is I think a bigger screen is needed for the room), and the facility had a kitchen where we prepared flower bouquets. I've been to funeral homes that had multiple congregation rooms, which can be chaotic and bleak. Heritage Oaks has one large congregation room, a lobby with seating, as well as more private seating near restrooms. Within the congregation room, there was ample space to lay out tables for food as well as a memorial table. After the memorial, I received a call from one of their other team members, Graham, about a lost watch that was found in the room (belonging to my mom and was worn by my daughter). That personal outreach reminded me yet again why Heritage Oaks was our choice. I'm grateful that when I think about this experience, the loss of my mom, the funeral, and all the logistics, I only recall good things. I thank the Heritage Oaks team for a pleasant experience during a tough time, and highly recommend their facility and their team to anyone else planning the final rites for a loved one. read more

I highly recommend Heritage Oaks Memorial Chapel to take care of your family's every need during the difficult time of losing your loved one. The communication was excellent, the quality of their tribute page, program for service and slideshow exceeded our expectations. Thank you Paige, Chris and Wendy for taking care of our family! read more

There is nothing more difficult to do in life than to say "goodbye" to a loved one. Our father passed suddenly in November 2020 and the reality of his presence no longer available physically has rendered nothing by pain and heartache. Our father "Leo" was more than a doting father, loyal husband and friend *but* a True Hero / a Bestfriend to many that were blessed to have known him. We looked frantically, in the midst of the Pandemic, a week before Thanksgiving, for a place to hold his Memorial Service. We had a couple of options *but* it was the Combo Team of Ron & Chris Harder and their very warm, clean, spacious facility that convinced us they were the right place to conduct the Memorial Service for our late father. Ron & Chris' own personal story of how they got to where they are at in their lives, assisted in helping us deal with our own grief. They displayed professionalism from the onset but just as important to add, they showed their *dedication* and *commitment* to supporting us in every way possible. From the set-up to catering, from MC-ing the ceremony to giving incredible sound advice, these two and their team are more than competent in providing a respectful, loving and peaceful Memorial Service. We felt our father's presence throughout the ceremony and a ton had to do with the guidance of Ron and Chris. Thank you to the moon and back Ron & Chris. We appreciate the time and wonderful support throughout during the very difficult time. ~Pip Tungohan read more

The staff at Heritage Oaks went far above what we could have hoped for. Jim is an extraordinary servant who made our time of loss so much more bearable because of his kindness and guidance. Chris was incredibly helpful and kind. I would respectfully recommend Heritage Oaks to anyone who needs guidance on the process through the experience of a loss and appreciates being made to feel like family. read more

I can't say enough good things about Heritage Oaks Memorial Chapel. Chris was so helpful with my husband's Celebration of Life service. Not sure how I would have gotten through this difficult time without her caring, compassion and professionalism. When things went off the rails with my son's family coming down with Covid right before the event, Chris went above and beyond with setting up a computer so they could watch from home and had them record their eulogy and poem to share with our guests. I received so many compliments on the services. Thank you so much. read more

The staff at Heritage Oaks Memorial Chapel was exceptional, kind, informative, and compassionate to all of our family's needs during this difficult time. Thank you to Chris, Jim, and Ben for your dedication to make the process smooth and uncomplicated. read more

I have known Ron & Chris for many years and had multiple opportunities to work with them on multiple occasions. Most recently, they were there for me and my family for all the details when my mom died unexpectedly. They not only helped us with all the myriad of things to think about in the midst of grief, they also hosted the Celebration of Life Service during the challenging covid season in 2020. What touched my heart the most is that Ron & Chris did not plan on this vocation, it became a Calling after their young son was tragically killed. They truly care and understand what we are going through and are very gifted at doing all they can on what for many is the worst day of their lives... Thank you Ron & Chris! read more

We found Heritage Oaks to be a great choice for handling the burial of my father. Their process was very straightforward and professional. There were no high pressure sales tactics and they were very flexible in meeting our particular needs. They were instrumental in coordinating among the various groups involved, and the execution was flawless. In an unfortunate situation, we were fortunate to find Heritage Oaks to help us. read more

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HERITAGE OAKS TO MY WORST ENEMY. Jim could not even make a simple call to the coroner to make sure they were moving forward with DNA identification of my father. We called him so many times on the status of this, and he said he could not get a hold of them. When I called the Alameda county coroner, they picked up on the first ring. It took my family just under one minute to do the work that Jim couldn't do in a month. Jim has caused my family and I so much grief. My sister and I had to fire Jim and go through another cremation service, just the thing we wanted just after loosing our beloved father. We requested a refund check for my grandmother who paid for the arrangements, and the first time he sent it to us addressed to her but with the wrong last name. We had to again make him send her the correct check. Well he sent her another check and changed one word in the address. For the third time we had request the check again made to the right address. We finally received the correct check after Jim tried to scam my grandmother three times. He thought he could get away with scamming an elderly woman. I am absolutely disgusted with Jim's undignified actions, and I really hope readers take this review to heart and stay clear from this man! He could sure take our money, but couldn't lift his finger to make one simple phone call to make sure the process was being taken care of. He took advantage of two young women (I am 22 and my sister 28) who recently lost their father, and an elderly woman who lost her son to a horrific accident, for his monetary gain. read more

I don't know who wrote the previous five star review, but DON'T believe it. It sounds to me like it was written by one of the owners or owner's relatives/spouses. When my wife passed away, I made the unfortunate mistake of going here. The staff here just "Doesn't get it." Without going into all of the dreaded details, this was a terrible experience. While there to make arrangements for my late wife (I brought my mom and dad), Heritage Oaks solicited them for business right then and there. Jim, who works there, who said he would deliver my wife's remains on a certain day and time, chose to just blow it off. He gave me the excuse that "We just really got busy today". Only through repeated calls, one of which was answered by an answering service, was I able to get my Wife's remains delivered to me. This is not the kind of turmoil you want to be dealing with after losing a loved one. It's been almost three years since my wife's passing and they still continue to "Farm me" with their ad campaigns to drum up more business, asking me to make an appointment to make arrangements for other loved ones I may still have in my life. Do yourself a favor and don't make the most difficult of situations worse by going here. If it costs a few dollars more to go somewhere else, in hindsight, I would have considered it money well spent. The events listed above are really only the tip of the iceberg. There was NOTHING professional, private or dignified about how they run their business. Hopefully this review will save someone else the additional grief and anguish they don't need at one of the most difficult times of their lives. read more

Our dad was suffering badly. Amid the chaos, hospital advisors instructed us to find a mortuary. Reeling from that hopeless word and other end-of-life terms, I could only think of the one place so many friends have trusted. A simple phone call brought an immediate meeting, and the next day brought the unfortunate news of our father's passing. The calm and compassion of the people at Heritage Oaks grounded us. While giving us so many options, they also seemed to take care of everything. People who have known pain and loss can certainly empathize with your own. Heritage Oaks was a blessing during the painful loss, helping us to honor the life and memory of our dad. I would highly recommend their services in your time of loss. read more

The staff here are very kind and considerate. But be prepared to make sure they get all the details handled and handled right. There is some disorganization here but I'd use them again. read more

The passing of a loved one is difficult no matter what. Ron and Jim at Heritage Oaks Memorial Chapel have gone above and beyond expectations in the job that they did assisting my family in our time of need. This is a local, family run business, which attracted me at once, and I'm so glad I've found them. They took us by the hand and assisted my family with all of our arrangements showing the greatest sensitivity and respect. No pressure, no attempts to up-sell for greater profit, simply the greatest support and guidance to honor the life of my father, and the grieving of those left behind. If you find yourself in need of this type of service, I cannot recommend this business highly enough. I will certainly not hesitate to use their services again should the need ever arise. Ron, Jim, and staff, thank you from the bottom of my heart, and those of my family. read more

I'm sorry the previous rater had such a disappointing experience. I'll have to say mine was more like the first rating. My husband died on Father's Day this year after a very long hospice, and I had time to notify Heritage well in advance of the anticipated need. When the nursing home contacted Heritage, they immediately responded, and the next morning our family was able to sit down with Mr. Beeding and make final arrangements. There was NO pressure to buy anything. Actually, we opted for cremation, which was the original plan, and we had our memorial three months later at the clubhouse where I live. Regardless of our minimal needs, we were treated as if we had purchased an entire package. I'm happy to recommend Heritage. read more

I have been to Heritage Oaks Memorial and event center on several occasions. The staff was very gracious and never pushy. I have also been to a presentation of their regarding grief and dealing with the loss of a loved one. They are sensitive and caring. If you need a place that truly cares and has good prices too give them a call. As a side note they also host events here as well. This is not your traditional gloomy funeral home. It is a place of hope and they have a great facility. read more

We scouted around and found this home to be the cleanest and freshest of all funeral parlors. They did an exceptional job for our family. We were a picky bunch with lots of demands....and they were on top and spot on on everything. Jim and Ron were personable and professional. I thank them for making this situation, my father's passing, very tasteful and smooth The Chet Knoblich family read more

We lost a family member due to suicide. When someone dies like this, it brings on a whole other set of feelings along with the death. We contacted Heritage Oaks on a referral and were so pleased with their service. They took care of everything. In fact, before we even chose them, they took the liberty of locating our family member's body when no one else would tell us where they were. Above and beyond excellence. The price was excellent as well. The also catered to our special needs due to the circumstance of death and were very supportive and followed up promptly. If you are ever in the need of a funeral home, PLEASE use Heritage Oaks. You will not be disappointed. read more

The incompetence of Heritage Oaks Memorial chapel has cost me a lot of money. Further, our pain and suffering has been aggravated and the stress elevated due to the fact that Jim was unable to secure death certificates in a timely manner. We had been waiting over 4 weeks for a death certificate. At around week 3 or 4, after asking specifically for Jim to update us on the status of DNA identification, we received no update. Jim rebuffed my my questions. Weeks later, we gave up and proceeded to call the Coroner in the county of death - they immediately informed us of the issue that was slowing down the process and we took care of the roadblock ourselves. We had to fire Heritage Memorial Oaks, just the thing you want to do when you are mourning the unexpected death of your parent. I had to go through the horrible process of arranging for cremation services for my beloved father for a second time. Thank you Jim for making me answer gruesome questions not once but twice! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Heritage Oaks. Ron surpassed any expectation that I might have had in regards to thoroughly understanding our needs, concerns, and guidance when my beloved father passed. Not only all details were taken care of but he drove my father to So Cal for graveside military services at the family plot. I had only to handle some details with the receiving Forest Lawn and even then Ron worked with them so that when we arrived all was taken care and executed smoothly. He performed the service (ordained minister) and then turned around and drove back to Rocklin the very same day. I highly recommend Heritage Oaks for your needs at a very difficult time. read more

Our 21 year old son passed away last year. Ron and Jim were so kind and helpful in making arrangements for our son's cremation. They were respectful and efficient. They listened to us and didn't attempt to sell us anything we didn't feel we needed or wanted. All the staff we encountered were also kind and respectful. read more

My grandfather passed away in July and I was placed with the responsibility of taking care of all his arrangements. In totally shock in the moments after he passed I called Heritage Oaks. Jim calmly walked me through every step. They made the entire process as simple as it could possibly be. Their comforting words throughout and even afterwards when they followed up with a card offering their condolences..... cannot be compared. No one wants to have to bury their loved ones but when the times does come, PLEASE be sure to contact my "friends" at Heritage Oaks Memorial Chapel in Rocklin. I will always refer to them for all future needs for my family and anyone close to me. Thank you Jim and Ron for everything !!!!! read more

During what was a VERY difficult situation/time for me, Heritage Oaks handled my husband's preparations/services with dignity. Jim and Ron were there to assist at any time and very importantly listen. They take you in as part of their family and treat your loved one as one of their own. I was very happy to have utilized their services. read more

Thank you for the caring attitude that you displayed to me and my family. The death of a spouse leaves you reeling and having Jim to guide me through the arrangement process was invaluable. At NO TIME was there any pressure to buy extras or upgrades. They handled it all with sensitivity and kindness. They're a local and individually owned business, which appealed to me more than the corporate owned chapels in the area. They were available to me whenever I had a question whether it was a night or weekend. They were recommended to me by a girlfriend who also used their services for the re-internment of her husband, and was extremely happy with their services. Thank you Jim and Ron. Blessings to both of you. read more

Jim was very helpful every step of the way. Jim helped us with having the service miles away in our home town. He even arranged for the military come to present a flag from Sacramento to Cupertino. Our thanks for making this event to be as positive as it was. read more
