Suellen Siqueira-Fisher: К нам приезжал член семьи из Дании и, к сожалению, скончался. Роксана из похоронного бюро «Колумбия» великолепно координировала новый рейс, когда Лутанза неожиданно отменила его через минуту. Она также была терпелива, чтобы понять наши трудности и беспокойства, и учла все наши просьбы. После этого опыта я планирую передать им все свои документы, чтобы провести кремацию, когда придет время. Роксана, наша семья очень ценит вашу заботу о нашей ситуации. И, прежде всего, их цены были разумными!

Dave Topping: Во времена горя, потерь и боли так приятно, когда к нам относятся с добротой, изяществом и достоинством. Именно так с нами обращалась Айви в похоронном бюро Колумбии. Она помогла нам подготовить останки наших родителей, пока мы готовимся к их погребению. Мы преисполнены благодарности за человека и прекрасное дело.

Willy Santos: Лучший сервис на свете, я очень доволен всем, что они для меня сделали, мой проезд во время пандемии, они делают всю бумажную работу, забирают тело моего отца из больницы и кремируют, помогают с свидетельством о смерти через две недели, действительно хорошая работа мы сделаем 🙏🙏🙏

Stefan Wood: Я похоронный директор в Айдахо-Фолс, штат Айдахо. Я работал в Columbia FH для семьи, потерявшей маленького ребенка. Хотя Колумбия отнеслась ко мне очень профессионально, они также проявили сострадание, помогая семье при перевозке ребенка из штата Вашингтон в штат Вашингтон. Они взяли на себя ответственность за весь процесс. Когда у авиакомпании возникли какие-то сбои, они быстро проверили и решили проблему. Я чувствую, что это хорошо организованное похоронное бюро, которое действительно работает для их семей.

Chaelene Massey: Very compassionate and kind. Thank you so much ❤️

Man Sam: Exceptional service!Our loved one passed way in severe weather but still very quick to respond...and very accomodating to all of our requests during this difficult time of COVID-19...

Jodi Jinka: The reason I chose Columbia Funeral Home for our Mom's viewing and cremation was because it is in the neighborhood that we grew up in and where our Mom lived for her whole life. I was so nervous trying to plan the viewing and cremation for my Mom, but from the first time I contacted Melissa she made me feel comfortable. She helped guide me and my family through the process with so much care and compassion. Melissa has truly found her calling. It takes a special person to be able to do what she does and she does it with so much grace.She was available at all times to answer any questions that I had. She also took such great care to make sure our Mom looked beautiful and that the time that we spent with our family at her viewing was perfect for us. I will forever be grateful for Melissa and Columbia Funeral Home for helping my family find peace during such a traumatic time.

B Guderian: I had a quick question, but knowing that funeral directors are under intense pressure these days, was hesitant to bother them. My question was answered quickly, and professionally, and I was treated like they had all the time in the world. Even with the stress they're under, People's Memorial are great to work with.

shirley oberg: Sadly I have had to use the services of Peoples Memorial twice in the last year. First my husband and then my son.

Jackie Adamson: My husband passed away at UW Medical Center. People's Memorial was contacted by UW and within an hour Bailey, from People's, called me. She was compassionate and kind. She was very knowledgeable in all of the services provided. Bailey provided useful information before I had to ask. And answered my repeated questions with patience. The entire "ordeal" was taken care of with little to do on my part. If I wasn't sure of an answer or a choice, Bailey was reassuring that nothing had to happen immediately. The follow up provided by People's was appreciated. I recommend People's Memorial to everyone.

J. M.: My parents were members for decades. People's Memorial helped so much when my father passed away that my husband and I joined. More recently they were again a huge help when my mother passed. Both times they picked up my parents' bodies very respectfully. The office staff also talked me through everything and assisted with paperwork. I also like that they do so much advocacy and education work. I highly recommend joining!

Janet Mandell: Simply put, the Co-op Funeral Home services made everything easy and uncomplicated, at a time when I desperately needed exactly that. I cannot say enough about the gentle and unobtrusive assistance they provided when my husband died. I'm a member now too, because I want my daughter to have the same support for my passing.

Susan Beverly: We've been members of People's Memorial for over 60 years. They took care of the remains for my grandmother, my dad and my husband. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else.

Also, the ashes were given to us in a lovely box - I wasn't sure how that worked & it all felt very special and as important as it should be.

He asked questions, gave helpful suggestions, and truly listened to what my client had specified for his time of need wishes. I will not hesitate to recommend People's Memorial to anyone in need of these services.

Neil Mandelin: Full transparency, I worked for this company for over fifteen years. However, not this specific location. I left the company a year ago. Okay so, having said that, the staff here have always been wonderful and the facility and cemetery are top notch. The staff here truly care about the families they serve. I mean that. Are the perfect? Is anyone perfect?... The answer is no, right? However, having been behind the scenes, they regularly go above and beyond at Forest Lawn for the families they serve. In my opinion, they do all of that because the ultimate compliment of seeing the families they serve get the closure they need, is far above the adulation of others or even more mundane incentives like wages. What I'm trying to say is, the staff at forest lawn care! Thanks for what you do! Highly recommended!

Diane Allerdice: The level of care and attention I received from KC, Dolores and Lou was amazing. My support system is limited and I couldn't have done this w/o them. They are making my process much easier knowing I have a true team to lean on when I need it.

Tammy Do: The service provided by Marcelle and Vy was truly exceptional. Throughout the onboarding process, Vy offered clear and direct information, enabling us to customize our package seamlessly without feeling overwhelmed. Vy's unique approach stood out as she collaborated with our local monk, generously volunteering her time to assist in setting up the traditional prayer tables for the upcoming services. This extraordinary act of kindness not only demonstrated Vy's dedication but also provided immense comfort during what was undeniably a stressful time for us.During the service, both Vy and Marcelle's thoughtfulness shone through, making us feel genuinely cared for and allowing us to focus on being present with our family. Looking back on those challenging days, Vy and Marcelle were like a sturdy pillar of support, providing the strength we needed. I wholeheartedly recommend Vy and Marcelle for their outstanding services. Your compassionate assistance was a source of solace, and we are truly grateful. Thank you once again for going above and beyond.

Ken Schaffer: My experience with Forrest lawn and their staff was truly amazing. The experience with my moms passing started on a very bumpy ride. Her insurance for funeral expenses was out of Arizona and the prices for services are very different up in the Northwest. The first funeral services were set up at a different place, but they denied it due to the difference in cost. Forrest lawn stepped in and took over, and did a great job making it a seamless transition. We also had issues with the death certificate but Cassandra stepped in and resolved and expedited getting the certificate from the hospital. Cassandra has also helped me with arrangments for the urn and been there for me thru the whole process

Christopher Vu: Michael, Desiree and Craig helped me through a very tough death in the family. Death is never easy to deal with, especially when lawyers and entitled estranged family members are involved.The Emmick family is empathetic, compassionate and professional. As the sole executor of the estate, I shopped around several funeral homes, but Emmick's compassion and understanding was what sold me.I had a family member pass away in January but due to familial conflict, I was unable to bury them until March. The Emmick family went above and beyond their call of service during this time and were available to talk to my attorneys and take phone calls at all hours of the day.The Emmick family is honest, reliable and kind which really helped with the grieving process. Desiree was a master at taking an old photo and turning it into a stunning portrait. Emmick's is extremely cost effective and they don't upsell you anything that wouldn't be necessary and even helped me negotiate prices when things fell through to get me the best pricing.I can't recommend Emmick Family Funeral Services enough to anyone that has lost a loved one. This family will go above and beyond to make you feel like you're their only client and treat your loved ones as their own.

I had no idea where to start. I had no experience with any of the funeral homes in Seattle, so I just started calling and speaking with multiple businesses. From the second I spoke to the first person on the phone at Butterworth’s I knew I had found the people to help me. Amy at Butterworth's was absolutely amazing. I was grieving and overwhelmed, and they stepped in and guided me through every step in the process .

This was extremely important to my partner and it’s all Resting Waters does.I wanted to put this review up from the first call I had, but I’m glad I waited, they just continued to knock it out of the park.As painful as it is to say, they have earned customers for life.

Ariana Yazdi: passed away a month ago after being diagnosed with a terribly aggressive form of cancer. It all happened so suddenly, and I was a mess by the time I had to reach out to Resting Waters. They were soothing and accommodating, and allowed me as much time as I needed to say goodbye. They even let me cover his body in roses before his aquamation.A few days later, he was ready to come home. I was so touched by the thoughtful way they packaged his fur, paw prints, and the beautiful urn with his remains. Not a day goes by that I don’t look at his memorial with gratitude, knowing that Oscar was lovingly cared for until the very end.I highly recommend turning to Resting Waters when that heartbreaking day comes.

Ashleigh Taylor: I wish I could give Resting Waters 100 stars. If you read any of the reviews you would see that Kale is an exceptional person to work with. They are incredibly kind and understanding. They answered all my questions and were really able to put me at ease. My little Yoshi was an older guy but his passing was so sudden. I am in the human death care industry so I knew more than maybe a standard family coming in and I wanted to know pretty much everything that was happening and what was going to happen. Kale explained everything, and even made us laugh. They are an extremely comforting presence to be around and I was more than comfortable to leave my little guy with them. I know what standard of care we give to our humans that pass everyday and Kale never once made me feel like it was "just a dog" that had died. Our pets are such an integral part of our lives and honoring them at Resting Waters was the best decision I made in one of the worst times of my life. I really cant praise Kale and the whole Resting Waters Team enough! Thank you so much for everything

Kyle DeMyer: Resting Waters is simply above the rest when coming to pet funeral services. Our pet chinchilla, Sterling, recently died, and Kale made us feel welcomed and comfortable. It was very warm and inviting when we walked in, and we were able to have a small wake for our pet to say our final goodbyes. We would highly recommend.

hethir pharr: I dropped off my old dog after euthanasia and was met with warmth and compassion. this sweet place is a gift for pet lovers and mourners.

Kaleena: .

Autumn Carnley: I literally cannot find the words to describe how grateful I am for the way things went with them every step of the way. The person that was helping us was Kale, and I don’t know how to explain it but it was like he was born to do this. He had such a genuine and natural kindness and old soul thoughtfulness about him that I found myself able to willingly hand over my most precious little being after he had passed away, to Kale without completely going into a nervous breakdown like I had figured would happen when it came time. Kale was patient and never tried to rush us as we said our final goodbyes to our little man and I don’t remember what he said at the time but whatever it was, it was just what I needed to hear. I also LOVED that he was so able to to come pick him up from us here so we didn’t have to go through the trauma of trying to Uber with our dogs remains in our lap or something awful like that. When kale found out how close we lived, he said he could come by in the next hour or so after we called so that amazing too. He showered up with a comfy little dog travel bag with a clean and fuzzy comfy blanket as well as opposed to just some box or something like that, it was so comforting to know that is how my baby was going to be treated in Kales care. That said so much. And after he left, I got a call within 20 min or so from him to let me know they made it safely back to his office so I didn’t worry which again, wasn’t something I knew I needed to know but once I did, it meant the world to me and made me so much less on edge. When the time came, Kale called and told me “Buster is ready to come home now, so anytime you are ready for that, please let me know and I will bring him home but no rush, you take as much time as you need ok, he is safe here.” Which again, wasn’t something I thought I would need, but once kale said it, I was actually quite relieved that it was going to be able to be when we were ready and that it was ok. I know I am just blabbing on and on here but this is hard for me to write without getting very emotional because I loved my dog more then I have ever loved anything or anyone, ever, and so this was the darkest time for me and my boyfriend because Buster was the light of our world and I just can’t stress enough that while I recommend using Resting Waters services because they are second to none, it’s Kale who really made this an experience that didn’t make my heart hurt worse and actually made me feel better. Which is crazy because who feels better after having their dog remains prepared and brought back to you, it is when you have to face that it’s really the end. I am so grateful that we had Kale there to help us through that . He is a special person. And last but not least he did such a darling job on the paw prints and also the hair that he put in a little jar for us, I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about that but right when I saw how nice it looked and that it was so much more comforting then I would have thought and that I am so glad he put so much love and care and kindness into the world and I am even more glad that there is people in this world that are have such a beautiful soul. I wouldn’t have wanted Buster to have gone anywhere else with anyone else. Thanks Kale and thanks Resting Waters, you are my angels!

Hannah Van Eenoo: Our sweet and zany boy Frank hopped over the rainbow bridge at the end of June. It was really sudden, even though he was 10, since he hadn't been visibly ailing. We were just in shock, unsure what to do, who to call, or even what questions to ask. My husband called Resting Waters since we had noticed it driving around WS.Kale walked him through the process on the phone and then he blocked out time for us to come the same day.with Frank. He was so incredibly kind to us and made us feel so understood, grieving for the loss of our rabbit. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm pretty used to people saying things like, "oh well it's just a rabbit." Kale kept referring to Frank as our beloved family member and showed so much care whilst being very informative and explaining things really calmly and clearly. We picked up Frank about a week later. His urn and the hand written card and all the packaging was really thoughtfully done.Thank you Kale! It really meant the world to us to have your support during that hard time. It takes a special person to sit comfortably with those in grief, we appreciate you ❤️

Sarah Combs: Kale and the staff at Resting Waters is wonderful. They treated me and Cricket with the utmost respect and care. I will forever be grateful for their services.

Nicole Curry: I received the call to come pick up my beloved girl. The last thing that was said to me was "I'll take care of her for you." It was a comfort to know how important and valued she is to me.

Crystal Payne: I had to say goodbye to my boy a couple weeks ago. My husband and I were supposed to bury him but he was called into work. So there I was with my baby in the back of my car and I didn't know what to do. I started calling cremation places but they either weren't open or would be closed before I got there. I was in Tacoma. I got ahold of resting waters and explained my situation whole crying and freaking out a little because I was thinking I was going to have to keep my boy in the backseat all night. I just needed him out of my car. I made arrangements with her to drive there and the place just happened to be about half a block from my plac.. I didn't know if I'd make it in time befit they closed but the lady told me she'd stay open to I got there. After I got there she said if we decided the next day to bury Goliath she could hold him for us overnight and I could pick him up the next day. I couldn't deal with that and decided to just do the aquamation.. I'm so grateful she was there in my time of despair. I would definitely recommend this place.

Christiaan Visser: Absolutely would recommend to anyone going through the loss of their pet. From our first call after our cat passing to having the remains returned to us a few days later, every interaction was kind and respectful.

nmikelson: Resting Waters was no less than phenomenal. When our precious darling Roxy passed, she was treated with such grace and care by Resting Waters. Darci, one of the owners was especially amazing. She listened to our needs and treated Roxy like the Queen she was. We are incredibly thankful that we were able to get our girl taken care of in the afterlife by Resting Waters; the love and compassion they have for pet owners going through such a painful loss is tremendous. Thank you so much for taking care of our girl.

Liletha Williams: They made everything at ease and alright!!

John Hudziak: Excellent Service and Excellent Help after cremation.I recommend them highly,

Robby M. Justice: Have you guys ever thought of doing Terramation services too. Composting bodies rather than burning some people may not want to be burned what if they wake up and their straped in a incinerator and can't get out its legal Jay Inslee signed human body composting into law. Rather then being buried or cremated

Sam Reed: They are kind, courteous and concerned. My children will have no worries after I am gone.

Renee Pauze: The care the people at the National Cremation Society was excellent they took care of all my husbands arrangements and that was a huge help to me. They treated me with kindness and dignity realizing what a delicate time this was for me. I was so relived I didn’t have to work through all the arrangements. And the services were very nice and dignified my husband with Military honors.I appreciated all the care they took with me.Thank you so muchRenee Pauze

Laurie Marocco: A friend in our support group recommended National Cremation Society to us last summer and after a little research I purchased services for both of us. The process was all done over the phone and internet, easy.When my husband passed away last month, Hospice asked if I'd made arrangements then they took his membership number and called for me. In about an hour Tyler and David drove up in separate vehicles. Both of them were respectful and swift.Kristina followed up a couple days later explain what happens now and get a little more information.When he was ready I chose to pick him up myself which was emotional for me. Taylor was respectful as well.The experience was seamless from beginning to end. It's comforting to know my sons won't have to worry about what to do with me when my time comes.

Ken Voyce: Guided me through the necessary steps with sensitivity and caring. There was nothing unpleasant about the experience. I am very glad the arrangements are all made. Nothing more to worry about.

doncook002: The only surprise I had, was that I thought the policy was irrevokable ... did not realize I had to do the revoking separately. But, that was an easy fix...

Mike Miller: , prompt at time of need, with amazing follow through afterwards. I have had multiple members of our family use this service, and I could not be happier with the complete service and dedication of the company and the program.

Kathy Bowe: The National Cremation Society was professional to deal with and handled all of the issues like cremation, contacting the military cemetery, arranging for death certificates seamlessly. I am pleased.

Kate Boyle: Sunny was such a wonderful consultant. I feel that I made the best decision for me. The entire experience was professional, comprehensive, and better than I anticipated.

Sue Beauvais: My parents had Neptune Society and it was so no-stress when they died, and my brother & sister-in-law signed up recently and showed us their box.Since I recently turned 65 and my husband 70, we decided it was time for us to sign up. I have recommended them to many of my friends, both in person and on Facebook.

Rob King: Very kind and caring experience working with Justine and Elizabeth. Prompt action right from the first phone call to ensure my good friend was taken care of as he had requested.

Jill Jackson: Very helpful and caring.Would recommend it to anyone
