I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for Columbia Funeral Home, and especially for Nichole,…read morewho supported our family through the arrangements for my granddaughter, Za'Mani. During one of the most painful moments of our lives, Nichole was a steady and compassionate presence. She offered us a deeply meaningful way to honor Za'Mani -- inviting us to write personal notes and messages that would be cremated with her. This act allowed us to send our love with her in a way that felt intimate, spiritual, and true. It was something we will never forget. What stood out most was the way Nichole held the process. She met us with gentleness, understanding, and a sincere sensitivity to the weight of our grief. Her presence felt warm, grounded, and respectful -- like she truly saw our granddaughter and our family, not just a task to complete. Even with the added complications the funeral home was facing at the time, recovering from arson damage, Nichole remained present, patient, and attentive. Her heart for this work is evident. She brings dignity, respect, and care that goes beyond professionalism -- it is human, empathetic, and real. I am deeply grateful to Nichole and to Columbia Funeral Home for helping us honor our granddaughter with love and reverence. We will always remember how we were treated during this time.

I had previously asked her two quick questions. "You have been rude since the beginning" she said. So much for empathy or customer service. I guess they don't have to be concerned about repeat customers. I don't know what her name was since she didn't introduce herself. Following up with their office, they didn't know either. I hope I received the right box of ashes. LOL

Snoqualmie Valley Funeral Home helped my family immensely when my father passed away. We were…read moreshocked because the death was very sudden and we were completely unprepared. No funeral plans, nothing to help us decide what to do and we had to make all of these decisions in the midst of coping with the grief of a sudden, unexpected death. They treated us, and my father's memory, with the utmost respect and tact. Upon visiting the funeral home, it was what you would expect from a funeral home - immaculately clean, tasteful yet serious decor; we were greeted at the door by two very compassionate, professional and sympathetic men. We were able to take our time and talk among ourselves as a family. They even had a large, comfortable couch where my mother and I, and my mother's best friend, could sit together so we could hug and hold her hands while we discussed the funeral options. We did not feel at all rushed, and the thing that stood out the most was that they did not take advantage of our grief, they did not try to sell us any services that we didn't need. The urn that my mother liked was actually one of their cheaper ones (a simple lacquered wooden cube) and they did not try to sell us anything more expensive. If you are in the unfortunate position of looking for a compassionate funeral home, I would recommend this one.

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.
