They charged a fair price of $995 including the crematory fee and everything. No extra credit card fees (or charging us $175 for the plain black plastic container the crematorium provides for free). And they actually answered their phone and talked us through the process. They were so helpful and respectful from beginning to end, and they even helped us file the burial assistance request with the county. Plus, we got to pick up the personal effects ahead of time, and our experience being there the day of the cremation was everything we could have hoped for. Highly recommend.

We know how important it is to find a funeral home that works with you to plan the perfect service, and we are grateful that families in Saint Paul continue to trust us to take care of their loved ones. While we conduct memorial services just as a traditional funeral home, we do not have the same high overhead costs, so we are able to provide beautiful services at an affordable price.

Sure enough 6 weeks later my 90 y/o mother in law died. She was on home hospice so the procedure…read morewas a little different. After the pronouncing of her death I had to call the funeral home to pick her up. I was told they were busy, and they came in a timely manner. Even it's a loved one, a dead body in the bedroom is damned creepy. We were able to make arrangements the next day. I like how during the visitation they're so available and on top of things. Turns out we shared the day with a much younger man who was very popular and had almost 200 guests. We were in the smaller room across the way, yet as people came in they were drawn to our side to sign in. This basically led to me directing traffic, rather than visiting with our guests. So right away the director moved our sign in to inside our room, problem solved. They are very good at helping you keep costs down. At stressful times like this you want friendly, co-operative people at your service.

We were able to create a beautiful memorial in remembrance of our beloved mother that was true to her uniqueness and according to her wishes. Special thanks to David, Jane, Vera, Stephanie, Elida, Michael, Kirk, and I know there are several others I'm forgetting. All the attendants were professional and proactive. It was also the only space we visited (of five or six) that was large enough to hold a sanctuary-like service, given we were not using a church building for our service. The "fellowship" area on the lower level let in a lot of light and was perfect for a luncheon after the service. Their short-list recommendations for caterer and florist were both excellent.

Throw my name in there too. We have the family plot and the headstone, four names on one. Since this is the East side there is a special area for Orthodox Christians and we all visit once a year for the day of the dead, first Sunday after Easter. There are many Hmong families here, and their headstones are unusual as they are all black and the print is white. There is a handy company across the street that does the headstones. And yes, it's pretty weird to see your name on one. But I'm glad it won't be a burden to our sons. It's not a huge cemetery, so you can't get too lost. Nothing like thinking of death on my birthday.

To stroll here is to be reminded that we spend the vast certitude of existence as but a memory of the living if we are remembered at all.
