My intention was to upgrade my Father's headstone and Ruhkala Monument Company made that happen!…read more Ruhkala Monument Company has knowledgeable employees with high level communication skills who, with dignity and grace, will gently guide you in finding exactly what you need when the time arrives to lay your loved one to rest. My entire experience with Ruhkala from beginning to end was first class. Having never ordered a headstone for a cemetery plot, it was a definite learning curve. I have two very special people to thank for their extensive knowledge and assistance during this complicated and intricate process. Christy and Marisol. I worked with both women to design the perfect headstone for my Father. Neither one ever lost patience with my many different ideas of what I thought would best represent my Dad. In addition, they both provided invaluable input to help me with the many decisions I needed to make along the way. Low key, no pressure, and with genuine and sincere sensitivity and humanity. At the conclusion of it all, I was extremely happy with the incredible tribute of which my Dad would love and be so proud. From the permanent military emblem inlaid into the granite to all his dogs' and cats' names etched on the back. I know he is resting peacefully and in good company with his animal family close by. This company has been serving our Community for over 100 years. They offer: Headstone engraving Headstone selection Monument sales and customization They have been building and installing monuments, memorials and headstones in cemeteries throughout Northern California since 1889. Rest assured in your time of need the people of Ruhkala Monument Company truly care. I count my blessings for choosing Ruhkala Monument Company whenever I visit my Father. Sincere thanks, Christy and Marisol, and the Ruhkala Family. #RIP #Lovealwayswins #Allwehaveisrightnow #Goodkarma

My dad and I are very grateful for the excellence, professionalism, and caring attitude at Ruhkala…read moreMonument. A longtime business of over 100 years across from the old city (Masonic) cemetery, this business offers multiple options at many different price points and customization options for a gravestone/memorial monument. I visited two times on my own and was ably helped by Christy D. Christy was so kind and patient and gave me estimates for a custom headstone as well as a couple of other stock/standard headstones. It was a struggle at the time trying to get everyone's input in the family and I got overwhelmed trying to make the ultimate decision. The third time my Dad came with me to an appointment and we were finally ready to commit and make a decision. We were able to choose a custom bronze monument and I chose a blue granite base that we found out weighed 2 tons (yes, it was the most expensive option and I was not surprised, I make a beeline for the best). Christy was familiar with the guidelines at the cemetery where mom is buried. She spent a lot of time building us a template and then had a photo proof for approval via email shortly after. She even noted a discrepancy that I had missed and made sure everything was exactly as we wanted. Christy's kindness, patience, sensitivity, and detail-oriented business acumen was so exceptional. We will never forget her wonderful approach to this challenging work. We were consistently updated via email regarding the order and when the monument was installed. Payment for our custom stone was required in full once final approval was made. Note, it took 5 months from ordering to completion but it was completed a month earlier than the initial six month estimate. We chose a photo for the monument as well as an inset vase for flowers. In the end, I'm glad I visited another monument company and decided without hesitation to return to Ruhkala. My dad and I could not be more pleased with the outcome, the professionalism, and the beauty of the final product that will stand as a tribute and memorial to my mom's life. The Broadway location, although a small corner lot adjacent to Midtown Sacramento (on the same side of street/ across from Sellands) has extensive examples of headstones both inside and outside to look at in person, in addition to thick photo albums displaying a catalogue of installed monuments. Prices are as low as $900 for a simple recessed monument to I would imagine no limit based on what is desired. There is also a larger showroom in Rocklin. From what I understand Ruhkala has a granite quarry in Rocklin as well and they provide many of the stones to other local monument companies.

During one of…read morethe most painful and overwhelming times in our lives, she brought a sense of calm, clarity, and genuine compassion that made all the difference. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answered every question with patience, and guided us through each step with professionalism and kindness. She never pressured us into anything we didn't want, and instead focused on honoring our family's wishes with integrity and respect. Her efficiency and organization helped everything run smoothly, which lifted a tremendous weight off our shoulders. What truly sets her apart is that her support didn't end after the service. She has continued to be responsive, helpful, and present for our family even afterward. That level of care is rare, and it meant more than she probably realizes. We are incredibly grateful to her and cannot recommend her highly enough. She is not only excellent at her profession, but she is also a genuinely wonderful human being who brings comfort and dignity to families when they need it most. Special thank you to Aubree and her assistant for going above and beyond handling every single last thing for us.

So a very good friend passed away and I don't think many people are ready for that or what…read moreto expect next; however, when we went to the funeral service this place was as good as circumstances can get. A day or two before the service they they opened an online obituary portal at their home page that allowed folks to leave well-wishes online. The comments are vetted before being published (authorization completed by the family of the deceased). The day of service was extremely hard, but the funeral home was absolutely professional and there was not oddities to report. The location of the funeral home was reasonable to get to--parking limited, but manageable. It was a hot day, but they had the air conditioning set to a chill level (making sense for open caskets). I don't mean to sound clinical about this review, especially when so much emotion can go into why you are there, but in the end. The funeral home was clean, provided for everybody that came to pay their respects. Prior to the service they cycled photos and/ or video reflecting memories of my friend and his family that survived him. I can't address pricing, but I heard the average cost of a funeral can easily run around 15K, and the lavatory I don't know because I didn't use it. The initial room where you first walk in is furnished nicely and to be honest it was a good area to take little ones that aren't able to sit long during the service. The area allows you to still hear what's going, limits the noise the main hall hears, and keeps you out of immediate line of sight. Anyway, if you have to use services like this, North Sacramento Funeral Home is professional and does it correct.

This review is a little over do but I felt the need to share my experience here at this funeral…read morehome. My mom passed away Jan 3rd and this is where she had my grandpa's funeral and many years ago my grandmother's funeral was held here so me and my 3 brothers decided to have my mom's here. We had Jessicah Shoemaker as our funeral director. We read reviews after we had arranged to meet with her and decided we would have our own experience with this funeral home hoping all would turn out fine. After meeting her she seemed fine and trustworthy. We took care of picking everything we needed to for my mom's funeral. As time went by we would reach out to her a few times with no response so I did have to talk to someone higher than her by the name of Scott who got things rolling for me. Day of funeral 1st Wen me and my siblings got there we wanted to set up the decorations we had to make things look nice before anyone came in and have a moment together unfortunately a group of family got in while we were setting up. So I let the lady that was apart of st.marys know if we could lock the doors before anyone else got in. Then another person came in and the lady apologized for it and said shed lock the door. Eventually we had to unlock the door because people were trying to get in at the other end (This happened because we were unaware we could ask to have a moment alone with our mom before people arrived) this is a moment me and my siblings will never get back. 2nd Jessicah was no where to be found until 30min before the funeral started and that was Wen she let me know they been having issues with their microphone and that it wasn't working. (It would of been nice to be made aware of this in advance so I could bring my own speaking and microphone) she did offer their speaker and microphone which they rolled out and set up for us again during the viewing of the body minutes before the funeral started. Unfortunately the speaker wasnt loud enough. No one could hear in the back of the hall. Horrible 3rd. Wen it was time for the slide show we made it wasnt playing so I went to the back to see wat the malfunction was and it started to play but there was hardly any sound. I asked them to make it louder because we could barley hear it while sitting in the front row it literally was like someone was whispering because the sound wasn't working and Jessicah said thats all it could go. My niece had to use her phone to play the songs so we could hear the music that was attached to the slide show. I asked Jessicah who would I talk to regarding all this and she said all of wat? I had to explain all these mess ups and she said it would be Scott. Me and my older brother were stressed out at my mom's funeral unable to mourn and sit like we should have been able to. I was very dissatisfied with the way all this went down. I had a meeting with Scott who then basically told me he was sorry but sounds like there was an issue with the sound system that day and that we should of let Jessicah know we wanted a moment with our mom wen we were planning her funeral(Which we've never done this before so we wouldnt of known. I feel like the director should ask us if wed like a moment on that day before allowing everyone in) but thats pretty much it. He made excuses for Jessicah and her role and I felt he down played the way things went. He even told me that He'd probably be like me a perfectionist running around taking care of things instead of being like his sister and sitting and letting things just roll and not care if they weren't going right. We paid 10,000 to lay my mom to rest. This was a special day that we just wanted to go right. Its sad that there was nothing that could be done even after telling him all my concerns. I felt the fact that the sound system wasn't working was a good reason to deduct some of the cost because its apart of wat we paid for. Just wanted to share my experience with this place. If u decided to still use them just make sure u keep a close eye on everything and ask questions. Make sure their sound system is running correctly and let them know if u want an alone moment with ur loved one while planning the funeral.

They have a delay with the cremation and getting it into the urn. Everything was last minute they couldn't guarantee the urn would be ready in time for the celebration of life. The place is peaceful and well decorated. One of the workers was at the door to greet us and pass out programs. They have a nice entry hall for the guest book to be placed and for the guests to sign in. The microphone and overhead projector worked like a charm. Everyone was able to hear the speakers and there was no static or feedback. The staff was polite and not intrusive. They even remembered me from last time I was there. The bathroom was easy to find and clean. They have a private lot and parking was a cinch. We even got parking in the shade.
