After everything was signed and paid for they were just waiting for the release of his remains to proceed with cremation. The day they called and let me know they had received his remains I went down and dropped off his urn. While there I asked if I could say goodbye to my husband. I was told no because he couldn't be made presentable. They could have covered him with a sheet and let me say goodbye but I was denied those rights so I will never get the closure I needed. After I had left I called again to double check because I was shocked they wouldn't let me see my own husband. They told me again it wasnt possible. 2 weeks almost pass and I still had not heard from them so I call. He had been cremated and I never received a call to pick him up because they said they were waiting on his urn. His urn had been with them almost 2 weeks at this time. I told them that and they then confirmed and said he would be ready that day. I went down that afternoon and he still was not ready to be picked up anx they had me wait in the lobby while they transferred his remains. As someone who lost their husbands in a tragic way this is the last thing you want to deal with. The unprofessionalism and the lack of compassion these people have is beyond me. They wouldn't even let me have the shirt he was wearing because " the condition " it was in. I was there and im well aware of the condition it was in. That should be my choice whether I want it or not. Regardless it was the last shirt my husband wore. If you can, go somewhere else.

When I called them I was told they had no record of her plan because it was so long ago. I had minimal paperwork. I took the paperwork I had to Blair's Direct Cremation and Burial and talked to Mike the Funeral Director. He made calls and kept me informed with updates on what he found out. Thankfully he found the bank where her money was being held and it paid for almost all of her cremation. At a stressful time my experience with Blair's Cremation couldn't have been better.

Instead of being met with professionalism or even basic empathy, the owner decided to accuse my mother of being "rude to the staff." Imagine calling a grieving daughter to scold her while she's trying to arrange cremation services. Completely unnecessary, inappropriate, and honestly disgusting behavior for someone in this line of work. The owner was cold, passive-aggressive, defensive, and seemed more focused on being offended than being helpful. This business does not treat grieving families with care -- they treat them like an inconvenience. To make it even worse, my grandmother's remains were returned to us in a plain box, not an urn. No dignity, no sensitivity, no effort -- just a box. And if you think this is a one-time issue, take one look at the owner's responses to Yelp reviews. She consistently responds to honest feedback by personally attacking customers instead of taking accountability. She has absolutely no right to insult or make assumptions about people she doesn't even know. She has no idea who we are, what our family dynamic is, what our grieving process looked like, or what we were dealing with -- yet she speaks as if she does. That alone tells you everything you need to know about her professionalism. If you can't handle death services with compassion, maturity, and respect, you are in the wrong profession. I genuinely hope more families speak up and report this business, because no one deserves to be treated this way while mourning a loved one. Save yourself the stress and choose literally anywhere else.

We will always remember them. Veterans who Served not because the Veteran hated what was in front of 'em, but because the Veteran loved what was behind 'em. This visit we walked to James E. Swett's headstone. He graduated from San Mateo High School, San Mateo, California, and enrolled at the College of San Mateo in 1939. He earned a private pilot's license, then enlisted in US Naval Reserve as a Seaman Second Class 26 August 1941, and started Flight training in September. Swett went on to be a US Marine Corps' fighter pilot, flying ace and recipient of Medal of Honor, Distinguished Flying Cross twice, Purple Heart, and Air Medal five times. He retired as a Colonel after 29 years of military Service. We remembered that family holds children's hands for a while and their hearts forever while we then walked to the gravesites of three GIs killed-in-action: Corporal Preston Dennis, US Army, married, age 21 Petty Officer 1st Class Chad Regelin, US Navy, 2011 USO Sailor of The Year, age 24 1st Lieutenant Sean Jacobs, US Army, US Military Academy aka West Point graduate, age 23 We finished up at the headstones of Iwo Jima Sergeant Raymond Jacobs, US Marine Corps; and Andeasen Reinholdt, US Army 11th Cavalry Regiment Black Horse Calvary, the last Army regiment to go from horse to armor. My latest visit to here again reminds me that death ends a life, not a relationship. There are extraordinary men and women and extraordinary moments when history leaps forward on the backs of individuals such as the Veterans here. Veterans that appreciated that what can be imagined can be achieved, that you must dare to dream, there's no substitute for perseverance and hard work and teamwork because no one gets there alone; and that, while we commemorate the... the greatness of events and the individuals who achieve them, we cannot and should not forget the sacrifice of those who make these achievements and leaps possible. Here is Hallowed and Sacred ground. That means never is yelling done here and no playing or games are to be played here. That includes pokeman players. All formally dressed, shoes shined, we were here to solemnly, humbly and reverently pay our respects to our fellow Veterans here. Just as we had told our children when they were young, we told children here with us today that here are Veterans who gave their today for our tomorrows. We taught the children to walk not run nor play in any Veterans cemetery. We taught them to talk low and not shout. Then we taught them to stand still for a moment in silence here, ending the moment of silence with a slow salute. There's beauty here although among it is a terrifying story that war's never a nice place to visit, and no one wants to live there. As we walked this well-maintained Veterans cemetery, tears came as I again remember the words of General Norman Schwarzkopf Jr., US Army (Ret.), that "the more we sweat in Peace, the less we bleed in war." Those words should be and always must be the war standard that we hold every politician to. For "The military don't start wars. Politicians start war." correctly said General William Westmoreland, US Army (Ret.). That's why I support that all elected or appointed politicians who aren't currently Serving or haven't Served in US Armed Forces, are required to spend the first six weeks of each of their terms in front line combat zone military hospital unit. In 1946, just after end of World War II, Ernest Hemingway, himself a victim with PTSD from being a World War I ambulance driver, wrote, "Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime." That's why I also support a military draft for all with no exemptions so those who previously never Served would understand the true and full costs of military Service. The Northern California Veterans Cemetery (NCVC) is the first California Veterans Cemetery constructed with the cooperation of the US Department of Veterans Affairs "VA", and is operated by the State of California. State Veterans Cemeteries are intended to serve areas that are not adequately served by a VA National Cemetery. It was dedicated 11 November 2005. Cemetery grounds are open every day from sunrise to sunset.
