He was of sound mind and very proud that we would not have to worry about anything financially! I called three years ago and spoke to "Clarence" who was in charge of the funeral side and told me that everything was paid for in advance and that there would be no costs. He pulled the paperwork and I emailed mine to him and he said yes! After setting up an appointment a week after he passed and with our paperwork in hand, they began to tell us that the only thing that was paid for was "the plot" only??? Nothing else is paid for??? Our Fred was a very smart man and retired from the State of California after 45 years as a IT guy. He retired after working at the California State Lottery Commission! He would never just take to drive to South Sacramento when he lived in Citrus Heights and just pay for a plot with nothing else paid for!! He did not want that burden put on us financially and he said so 10 years ago and again 3 years ago!!! As his family, we never understood why he choose this funeral home and cemetery to be buried at, when no one in our family ever lived in South Sacramento, unless he responded to some sort of "ad" they sent out in 2001 as a way to gain business. The place was old, dark, run down, not kept up and smelled of urine. We looked at the paperwork in the office and it says no casket?? We were shocked and didn't know what was going on here. So, we looked at each other knew it must of meant that he was being cremated?? Wrong... The paperwork is not right? Something is not right! He was more than likely "mislead" and told something else otherwise. This smells like "fraud" here. He took care of all of this and signed this prepaid contract on 7/16/2001, and put money down on his prepaid contract and made 72 payments of $76.00 taken directly out of his bank account!!! I just read some complaints on here where inexperienced employees did not have the right amounts on paperwork and some paperwork was missing!! In the meeting, they were trying to shove a expensive price list in our face so they could take even more money on top of what he paid. Something is not right here and again, it smells like "fraud" and trying to mislead customers. PLEASE BE AWARE AND DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN! DO NOT PREPAID ANY FUNERAL SERVICES WITH THEM! We left very upset and felt bad that they mislead him and took his money. Again, he would never just purchase a "plot" only and nothing else. Who does that? You have to put the remains somewhere before a burial, and he would not do that!! We told them that he was mislead and got up and walked up before they tried for the "second" time to shove a expensive price list in our face!! I told them I would be contacting our Attorney and Law Firm to obtain back the monies he paid by having them to buy back his plot for the price he paid for it. This is the right thing to do.The funeral counselor that gets paid via commissions only, said that the plot was now worth $18,000. We only want the price of the money he paid in July 2001. I am filing a complaint with the "Funeral Consumers Alliance" and the "Cementery and Funeral Bureau" here in California. I decided to write this on Yelp so this doesn't happen to anyone else. This is heartbreaking, because anytime you purchase funeral packages or families trying to make arrangements, etc. is a very emotional and sad time. And, this is one where he was taken advantage of. How many more families of the Sacramento community has this happened to from Sacramento Memorial Lawn and not reported. Some of the written comments on here have gone through poor experiences at such a stressful and emotional time. We ended up finding a wonderful funeral home/chapel In Roseville where we live, who has been family owned since 1954, before we even left SML's parking lot. We were a little stressed after all of that. They took us in like we were part of the family and the Manager greeted us with empathy and kindness of what we had just gone through with SML. She sat down with us to support us and help us to set up getting the cremation taken care of and his body transported from Mercy Hospital to their crematory. She went over every detail of the prices, we paid for everything, signed the paperwork and were on our way. This gave us so much peace and we were grateful at the way things turned out for us.

As if my last review weren't enough, I went into the cemetery today to clean off my parents' grave…read morein the mausoleum for the yearly cleanup and I discovered that the rosary I bought for the grave was stolen. Everything else was there except for the rosary. I looked around and noticed that there were rosaries on other graves but I guess because mine wasn't plastic and had shiny crystals someone just had to have it. I bought that rosary from my church. People came from Bethlehem to sell things during mass that they made in the holy land and I bought it specifically for my parents' grave. I guess you can't even trust a Catholic cemetery. Just a warning: Do not put anything of sentimental value on the graves at this place. There are obviously thieves there happily looting the graves. Ridiculous. It could have been anyone: a patron visiting another grave, a person the cemetery hired from the outside, an employee, a groundskeeper. Who knows? You would think that theft wouldn't happen in a place like this. From now on I'm just putting fake flowers on the grave now that I know there are thieves that come to this place. What kind of person steals things off someone's grave? Just unbelievable. My parents deserve better.
