My only complaint would be that my loved one died on a Saturday morning. I tried to contact them on Sunday during business hours and spoke with someone who said a funeral director would call me back, but no one did. However, once I called on Monday and spoke directly with a funeral director, everything proceeded smoothly from there. All the paperwork is done on-line. Their prices are good, a big part of this is likely because the office on Millikan (in the City Hall Building in the Beaverton Round) is apparently just a small office with low overhead. The cremation is done through Riverview Abbey. It was done quickly and I was able to pick them up at the Millikan office (you can also pick up at Riverview Abbey). They can mail them to you as well. Obtaining death certificates through them was also easy, as was getting an obituary posted to their website. They are very professional, responsive, and happy to help.

Using WA Cremation Alliance made it so simple to set up arrangements online and the cost was extremely reasonable.

I was so relieved to work with a business that has their act together. I highly recommend them to anyone in their service area.

We lost our 20 year old son suddenly and so we were bogged down with grief, which makes decision making very difficult.

Wow! The service was Spectacular and their help was Incredible…read more We had met with Lincoln Memorial, where our sweet granddaughter was buried. Up until this point, Lincoln Memorial had been great to work with, and I highly recommend them as a cemetery -- you just need to get your marker elsewhere. Here's why: Lincoln Memorial wanted to charge a ridiculous price, plus charge an additional $450 because we wanted to design it. I might add one of the reasons we wanted to design it was because they don't have a clue what they are doing when it comes to designing, and can only come up with random, ugly text and one of a very small range of static stock vector images, which we did not like. So it was necessary to make our own design to actually honor Baby Jade. Lincoln Memorial also did not let us know that the green stone eventually turns yellow. In addition, they claimed that if we had a stone made elsewhere, it would not be guaranteed or cared for. We found out this is untrue. AFM guarantees the stone, and Lincoln Memorial is required by Oregon Law to care for the headstones. The stone we chose was 12 x 24, set vertically. Angie steered us away from green given its tendency to turn yellow. We picked blue. We sent Angie the custom design. She and her husband enhanced the little baby feet, found better butterflies and poppies (more detailed to reduce "negative space" where water would pool), inverted the graphic of the Rome Temple, did a sand blasting of that area which we just really loved, then after customizing it, they manufactured, delivered and set a truly Beautiful headstone for less than $1000 (including the fees that Lincoln Memorial charges for having someone else make it and set it). AFM did not charge any fees for custom artwork. It was all included in their pricing, as was the fee for delivering and setting the stone. What a relief to finally have the Beautiful Memorial stone finished for Jade. Cannot wait to see it after the install. So grateful we found AFM!! Highly recommend!
