Had it not been for Yelp and the magic of Google Street View, I'm not sure if anyone would find this place with ease. Many of the tombstones are not raised, and there doesn't seem to be any office / meeting area where staff would be. Save for a small sign on a gate, and it might not seem obvious this is a cemetery. We laid one of my closest relatives to rest here. The staff that was present was helpful in conducting the ceremony and gave my family and I a chance to grieve our loss peacefully and with grace.

To say the owner Rick lacks communication skills is an understatement. My emails and phone calls were routinely unanswered which laid the onus on me to make sure arrangements were in motion - I live on the east coast. I repeatedly emailed simple, routine requests such as quotes for burial options, paperwork that my elderly father needed to sign, a proof of the marker (which when I finally received was backward - date of death first followed by date of birth). It's almost like this was their first funeral. Rick assured me in April that a marker only takes 4-6 WEEKS to secure so I would able to order it in time for a June service. He actually added that that because my brother's marker was smaller than the average size his would only take a MONTH. When I arrived in June I was told by another employee it routinely takes 4-6 MONTHS for a marker to be produced. No apology that I had been misinformed by THE OWNER. Twice I had a local family member go to City View in person to gather information I couldn't get out of Rick. He never offered an apology except to tell me how "busy" he was. In May, Rick and I discussed over the phone that the date of my brother's interment in June and we set a date and time. When I arrived in Oregon I called to confirm as I had no faith that this had been scheduled and could not get a written confirmation from Rick (or an invoice which I requested THREE times). I spoke to someone I believe was named Kevin on June 3 and not surprising he had to call me back because he couldn't find any information concerning the scheduled placement. I have no doubt that if I hadn't called and we had just showed up there would have been no preparations made. And to make matters worse when we did show up, we were told by Kevin (again, this person never introduced himself to us or even offered condolences - I think his name was Kevin) that markers take 4-6 MONTHS and we were asked to fill out additional paperwork before my father was asked to write a check - right before he buried his son. What is wrong with these people? The lack of professionalism and compassion was truly shocking. When we left the grave site, I asked the man who oversaw the placement if we would be notified once the marker was received and he replied that he thought they could that for us. What? Wouldn't it just be routine to let a customer know that their love one's maker has arrived? All I could wonder was why these two brothers are in this business since they clearly don't care. Their actions don't relay any sense of empathy or sensitivity to a grieving family. And I do have a point of comparison - when my mother died, the services provided by Golden Funeral Service was what a grieving family should expect: professionalism, compassion, competency - they went out of their way to make it easier for us - not harder. We didn't have to monitor their employees to make sure they were doing their jobs. All I can think of are those poor people going to City View Funeral Home and Cemetery at one of the lowest points in their lives and the sloppy and inattentive treatment they can expect. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

My only complaint would be that my loved one died on a Saturday morning. I tried to contact them on Sunday during business hours and spoke with someone who said a funeral director would call me back, but no one did. However, once I called on Monday and spoke directly with a funeral director, everything proceeded smoothly from there. All the paperwork is done on-line. Their prices are good, a big part of this is likely because the office on Millikan (in the City Hall Building in the Beaverton Round) is apparently just a small office with low overhead. The cremation is done through Riverview Abbey. It was done quickly and I was able to pick them up at the Millikan office (you can also pick up at Riverview Abbey). They can mail them to you as well. Obtaining death certificates through them was also easy, as was getting an obituary posted to their website. They are very professional, responsive, and happy to help.

My dad was a Buddhist, and the funeral home worked tirelessly to find a suitable person to perform the ceremony. When they noticed that the service and item we had initially quoted had increased in price, they promptly contacted me to inform me of the change. They negotiated with the broker to secure a price close to the original quote and updated their service costs accordingly. Every person we spoke with was empathetic and generous in spirit. Losing a parent is incredibly difficult, and the shock of it all can leave everyone reeling. Despite the intense details we required for the final rites before cremation, Weddle Funeral Service handled everything with care, ensuring that every request was met perfectly and coordinating the spiritual services seamlessly. I hope you never have to experience the loss of a loved one, but if you do, I'm deeply sorry for your loss.
