    Beautiful urn for our sister .                     (which was standard for the plan we chose)
    Nancy Y.

    Honor Cremations came through for the Yip Sisters again. This time , however, we used their Honor Cremation with Viewing & Funeral Services. Both Honor and Bay Area Mortuary Services were both accommodating and so understanding to meet our needs in planning our sister's funeral. A special shout out to all the Honor Team but especially to Adriana, our main contact, and to Eric who accompanied and prepared the setting at BAM for our sister. One will never regret in choosing HONOR CREMATIONS for their services for your family member.

    The hospice nurse who was part of the team caring for my wife asked whether we had decided on a funeral service, literally a few days before her peaceful passing. I was looking for options other than the well-known Bay Area mortuaries or cremation services, and grateful to have found Honor Cremations as part of a last-minute search. The founders of Honor Cremations answered my phone calls, chat messages and emails in rapid succession because everything was happening so quickly for me. David took a majority of my questions and was able to answer them in a timely manner because I didn't have a complete understanding of the process. I selected their Pacific Cremation and Scattering Plan with Family Service. Mayra responded with a detailed email explaining the chain of custody process for a family member in their care because they also work with a mortuary in Fremont to handle the cremation, and then deliver the bamboo urn to a partner service in Sausalito called Marin Memorial Services for a charter boat cruise out to Kirby Cove for the scattering. The memorial at sea turned out beautifully that day. The standard price for the Pacific Cremation with Family Service is for a group of 6 people, but additional people can be added at a reasonable per person fee. If necessary, Honor will also contact Social Security to inform them about the passing of a loved one, and coordinates with the specific Bay Area County to process and purchase death certificates for the family. The death certificate process is what takes a little while, but Honor does follow-up to make them available for pick or send them. Contract review and signature is handled with DocuSign. Payment for services is handled via a secure online portal. I would recommend Honor Cremations for anyone looking for this option because everything went as smoothly as possible especially during this difficult time.

    I was searching for cremation services for my sick sister. After visiting 3 locations and inquiring about pricing, I decided to do an online search for cremation services. I called Honor Cremations and spoke with David. David was patient and answered all of my immediate questions. I went in person the following Friday and was greeted by Adriana. The pricing was surprisingly very good for the package selected. I say "surprisingly" because other places I spoke to wanted 2 to 3 times more for basic services. My family opted for Honor Cremations and they were flexible on their payment plans. Adriana and Brisa were very kind and took care of everything when my sister passed away. I asked so many more questions and constantly asked for updates - I emphatically thank the Honor team for exercising patience with me for the constant emails...I've never dealt with funeral services. I appreciate all that they did to ensure a smooth process. I also appreciated that I was contacted on the day my beloved sister was in the custody of Honor Cremations. The day of the services was lovely and without incidence. The father-son duo (I forgot their names, so my apologies) that drove the hearse and took my sister to the viewing and church were gentle with handling of the casket, were very kind and offered their condolences. My beloved sister's ashes were delivered by Eric in a beautiful wooden urn. Eric showed me how to open the urn, provided copies of the death certificate and patiently listened to me as I talked about my deceased sister. On behalf of my family and me, we emphatically thank Honor Cremations and its wonderful team for their professionalism, wonderful services and showing us grace during this difficult time in our lives. God bless.

    Update*** I ended up going with Honor Cremations and the biggest reason was transparency, direct communication, and the amount of integrity/ honesty they had with the whole process. I would recommend this place to anyone who is doing a cremation service and scattering. The captain sailed us out and we all communicated perfectly. Everyone knew how to make us feel safe and welcomed. I really enjoyed the paperwork process as well as the online process. Everything is literally through a website portal and each step is updated as it happens. It made everything so simple even though I did the whole thing by myself as an only child. Give them a call and you will know immediately if this is for you or not. ORIGINAL REVIEW (before choosing them) They helped educate me with all my questions and concerns in such a patient way. I am vary grateful for this business. Thank you guys so much! I would highly suggest and consider using their services if you're trying to keep things simple and stay informed the entire time.

    I've chosen Honor Cremation for my mom's cremation. The service they provided was exceptional, and the process was done efficiently through online communication. The staff was patient, kind, and compassionate. I felt well taken care of. David guided me through every step of the way, which meant a lot to me as I was in a mental haze most of the time during that period. It has been a really difficult time for me these past few months, and I am really thankful to have such a supportive and understanding team back me up. I would wholeheartedly recommend Honor Cremation to others who may need similar services.

The van was not detailed and had a Hawaiian warrior head made of a coconut shell and feathers hanging from the rear view mirror. Is this a personal vehicle?! And a tree deodorizer hanging at the rear door. Sacred Space is not a Funeral Home it is the mailing address used for an office and your loved one will be contracted out to an actual funeral home/mortuary elsewhere and in our case over an hour away! The last thing a grieving family needs is confusion and unnecessary drama. Skip the mortuary middleman and deal directly with a reputable brick and mortar Mortuary.

    Exceptional Funeral Services for My Father…read more Losing my father was one of the hardest moments of our lives, and I had no idea where to begin with arranging his funeral. From the very first call, the team made the entire process so much easier and more manageable for us. They guided us step-by-step--from helping us schedule meetings, to clearly explaining what needed to be done depending on the practices we chose (Catholic or Christian), to handling all of the important documents on our behalf. Their advice was always practical, honest, and rooted in experience. One thing that gave us tremendous peace of mind was knowing that my father would be cared for with dignity during his full-body repatriation to the Philippines. They ensured that he would arrive safely and properly prepared, and we are forever grateful for that reassurance. A special thank you goes to Tom Beddingfield, who was a true anchor through all of this. His patience, professionalism, and steady guidance made an overwhelming process so much easier for our family. I cannot thank him enough for a job exceptionally well done. We also want to highlight the incredible work of Dean DeBruin, who created my dad's video tribute. This was no simple task--my father had a massive and disorganized collection of photos totaling 16 gigabytes. Dean was unbelievably patient, kind, and accommodating through every revision and request. The final tribute was heartfelt, beautiful, and truly captured who my dad was. The coordination between the funeral team and the church was seamless. The staff communicated directly with the parish where we planned to hold the viewing and funeral mass, which removed so much stress from us. We are especially thankful to Fr. Francis, who reached out personally to learn about my father's life so he could honor him meaningfully during the service. We would also like to express our deep appreciation to Noriel P. Adricula, the incredible singer and pianist who provided the music for the funeral mass. His performance was heartfelt and beautiful--exactly what my father deserved. All who attended my father's funeral were in awe of how beautifully everything was managed--professional, heartfelt, and all at a very reasonable price. We felt supported every step of the way, and we are truly grateful for the care this team provided to our father and to us.

There were no delays, no excuses, no frustration on our side, just everything taken care of exactly the way it needed to be.

For that, I will always be grateful. Five stars without hesitation.

I found myself in a crisis situation where the sheriffs department told me to call a mortuary to come take care of a relative. It was a weekend and I had absolutely no idea how to proceed.

I gave them a call and explained my situation and the wonderful woman who answered my call walked me through exactly what the next steps were. I didn't get her name, but she was absolutely fantastic to work with in a very difficult situation. A few hours later, the right folks arrived and took care of the situation. The following Monday first thing in the morning we went to the funeral home and met with Paul. Paul was right out of central casting for somebody to guide us through what would happen over the next two weeks. Paul spent about an hour and a half with us that morning walking us through all of the things we needed to make decisions about and next steps.

Other funerals I've gone to, the staff members whether working in parking control, or guiding the pall bearers seemed more caring. They'll make sure the family's experience is emaculate, or at least almost perfect. Here, they don't greet you, nor at least try to assist the elders especially in the parking lot. They'll just stand there with a blank look to make sure you're okay... without even a smile. But they are seemingly professional with their guidance. Definitely not naturally charismatic. I hope they like their jobs. For me, it's been sad to keep experiencing loss of loved ones. We are getting older, and it's called the circle of life. Going back to the cemetery itself, the graves are quite scattered. You'll see clusters filled, and then empty spots steps away. The views of San Jose City is beautiful! Blue skies. Birds chirping, some wind, made my experience wonderful. Of course depending on the weather. The cemetery is still expanding into unused land. However, some nice homes are built directly across the street, where the lawn may be shared (literally). Luckily, I'm friends with Casper, and Poltergeist is only a movie. LOL. I'd say it's an average 3.8 stars experience.
