After months of avoiding making calls regarding cremation for one of my twins that will be…read morestillborn at delivery, I reached out to Angels Cremation. I had the delight of speaking with Elver. Elver and I discussed my current situation. Before even continuing the conversation, Elver was extremely empathetic and compassionate which is truly a blessing as a loss parent with disenfranchised grief. He asked a few preliminary questions regarding when my Baby A had passed in utero, where I was delivering at, etc. Before I could elaborate on what I wanted, Elver explained the cost was basically the fees for the county permit and a death certificate should I choose to want one. Additionally, he gave me a brief run down as to the process which basically entails letting the hospital know who would be handling the cremation and when we would like them to pick him up and they would handle the rest. I have a friend handling all this for me upon delivery and I was able to easily relay this information to her. I am so glad Angel's is the first place I reached out to and I feel so at ease after speaking with Elver.

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience so others are aware…read more I was contacted on Tuesday and told my father's remains would be ready for pickup at the Sanger office on Wednesday between 11am-2pm. I arranged transportation and made the nearly hour-long drive, only to be told upon arrival that my father was not there and that I was not even on the schedule. The staff member present was kind and apologetic, and after attempting multiple calls to the main office with no answer, I was assured my father's remains would be delivered to my home the following day. It has now been over 24 hours since that promise, and I have received no communication, no update, and no explanation as to where my father is. Losing a parent is already incredibly difficult. Not knowing where their remains are--and being met with silence from the very people entrusted with their care--is deeply distressing and unacceptable. I am sharing this not out of anger, but out of concern for others who may trust this service during one of the most vulnerable times in their lives. At minimum, families deserve clear communication, accountability, and basic follow-through. I sincerely hope this situation is resolved quickly and that no other family has to experience this level of uncertainty.

Most recently, when a dear friend and family member passed away, Elver took exceptional care of our loved one and supported our entire family with compassion and professionalism.

I highly recommend Elver's company to anyone in need of caring and trustworthy service.

When I purchased three lots a couple years ago, I was told that I could decorate I could put balloons. I could put a bunch of flowers around his stone and that is honestly why I went with the cemetery and now to say that I'm only allowed to put anything in the flower pot. And if I want more decorations to buy another flower pot, how disgusting what a bunch of corporate greed. I literally feel lied to. We need to rally up and stand up to this corporation and file a community lawsuit. They put up signs for everything how convenient of them to not put up signs that they would be enforcing this on a day where they are not even supposed to touch our decorations. And all the families there are very mindful when decorating I've seen how beautiful the cemetery looks. These last couple of days it has been so sad to go. I am already speaking to a lawyer because this has caused me such pain. I've read my contract and I'm having my contract looked at. I recommend all of us do the same.

We made our appointment for the Monday after my mother died and during our appointment in a closed room, a male employee came in with a customer to sell a coffin. We were literally making arrangements for my mother's remains, and they came through the door to sell a coffin. When I asked him if that was the usual practice, he simply responded with; " this is our only coffin room" I said well maybe you could wait until after our appointment or they could've put us in a different room. Instead of apologizing, "he just said well we were only in here for like two minutes." I told him that was two minutes too long and he left. Absolutely unbelievable. After gathering all of our information and telling us that we should be able to take care of my mother's remains within 3 to 5 days we paid and left. Paid in full and we had to call back constantly to have any communication with the office and their story kept changing about the time and date of getting the permit for our mother's cremation and the death certificate. They told us they were waiting on the doctor to sign off, when we called the hospital and the health department, they told us they had received no request from the mortuary. Sabrina at Greenlawn claimed that they could prove that they sent the request and their proof was literally a handwritten invoice in a screenshot. Run from this place as fast as you can use a small local business instead. The staff is unsympathetic and doesn't even pretend to be concerned with your well-being. I understand it's a business, but they could at least pretend to have a little compassion. We asked to speak to Devin several times and he never returned our call. Then they had the nerve to send a text out a couple weeks after and ask how our service was. When I responded that we never got a call back and it was terrible, Devin finally called me. Horrible customer service.

Neptune society is a burial at C/cremation service in Bakersfield (and nationwide). Their prices…read moreare very reasonable starting at about $2000 for a cremation locally, and 2500 for a cremation worldwide. They will handle all the final details, they can provide a urn or something for the ashes. And overall it's a in expensive way of having your final expenses taken care of. It's something probably worth considering if you do not wanna be a financial burden to your family at the end of your life. Pre-payment plans are available.

They had a kitchen with large refrigerators and an ice maker which made it so convient since we were serving food at our event. The bathrooms were large and very clean. Plus, the parking lot was big enough for all our guests. The price was extremely reasonable for everything that was included.
