My father died in august of last year. We had previously used the milwaukie location when my father in law passed, and figured we'd use them for my father. The original meeting and set up were great. Everything seemed legit and in order. And that's where the good part of the review ends. From the time we left their presence they stopped communicating. They delayed the return of my father multiple times. 6 months later I STILL do NOT have ALL of my father back. I paid a ridiculous amount of money to have a local artist use some of my fathers ashes to make a glass worry stone. It was for a necklace I have. WE STILL DO NOT HAVE IT! Every time we call they tell us that a supervisor will call use back. 6 months of "we will get a supervisor to call you"! When are they gonna call? My guess is the dark side of never. I waited 6 months to leave this review. 6 months of crying just wanting my dad to come home. 6 months of not a single supervisor giving a crap. They literally closed this location, due to staffing and never called to notify us. So now we have to deal with one of their other locations. All I can say is never NEVER EVER bring your loved ones to ANY crown memorial. They are a bunch of sadistic people who want you to suffer as much as humanly possible. Because any normal person would say hmm these people haven't gotten their dad back from 6 MONTHS AGO! Maybe we should elevate this? No let's keep doing the same things we always do. My next step is to call the artist who should have made it. After that, lawyer. At this point I want my dad or I want my money back. read more

My 94 year old father was under hospice care for almost a year. Since I'm from out of town, and had no idea how to make this kind of selection, I asked the hospice group if they had any recommendations. While they were cautious about appearing to make an endorsement - they said that Crown is reasonably priced, open 24 hours and easy to work with. In the days before he passed, I created an account on-line and made the selections. It could not have been easier. Unlike other reviewers, I didn't shop this. It was a simple cremation, and the recommendation was enough for me. I would say two things really stand out. Shelby helped with the on-line obituary and it was perfect. The box we selected for his ashes looked less impressive in the photo, so we were pleasantly surprised when we saw it. It was very nice, not cheap looking at all. The communication was excellent throughout and there were no surprises, and everyone I spoke to was professional and very helpful. I would absolutely recommend Crown Memorial. read more

My brother passed away 2 weeks ago and Crown Memorial Center in Tualatin was recommended. They promptly attended to my brother and were gracious in waiting until the next day to call me and go over the specifics details. They handled all the details in a comforting and dignified manner. One of their services is the ability to post an obituary on their website with no extra charge. The lady who assisted me with this was very helpful and made numerous changes to the text until I was satisfied with the result. It turned out very nice with pictures and a link to selected charities. I would like to thank her for that and also to the other employees of Crown Memorial who made this difficult time as smooth as possible. If and when one needs to deal with the passing of a loved one I would recommend Crown Memorial. There pricing is on the low end of the spectrum for these type of services. read more

My husband passed suddenly and unexpectedly, causing such pain and grief and what I call the "Grief Fog". I didn't have a mortuary set up and although knew my husband's specific instructions, was in the dark as to who to use for these very important services. I was so relieved when I was referred to Crown Memorial Center, as they diligently, delicately, compassionately and thoroughly handled all details! I knew I was in good hands the moment I called! It was an emotional experience but almost effortless, as they effectively guided me through the process, much to my relief. 5 Stars indeed, thank you Crown for taking the most difficult of tasks and handling it with such grace! read more

We lost a loved one recently in St Helen's Oregon. The family called a local funeral home for transport and simple cremation. We received an email that included the documentation and cost. They wanted $2,065 for a basic cremation and 2 death certificates. We used Crown 3 years ago for another loved one so we called them. Total cost for the same service was $875 including 2 death certificates and the transport from St Helen's. The family felt that the local funeral home would be at least competitive, they were not, the savings of $1,190 was passed on to a local charity in Gloria's name. We were also very pleased with the staff at Crown, they were pleasant to deal with. read more

Crown Memorial provided cremation services for both my Mother and Father at the time of passing. They were professional, reasonably priced and covered every detail that needed to be handled. I was always kept informed at each step. They offer support and comfort during the difficult time of losing a loved one. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Everyone should cover their end of life plan while they are able and not leave the final steps for grieving family to handle. My parents had their details nailed down long before their time came. Thank you Crown Memorial. read more

I would like to put in a good word for the staff at Crown Memorial. We handled almost everything by phone and email, and they did not hesitate to work with us even though my dad died of COVID. Overall, they helped make a really difficult situation a little easier. The only concern I have is the fact that both my dad and I have received marketing information from other funeral and cremation services since he died. I can't verify where these businesses got our names, but I hope our information was not being sold or distributed without our permission. read more

THEY DROPPED MY DADS BODY!!!! Crematory team came to pick up and after warming them that they may run into issues the chose NOT to listen and now we have the HORRIBLE memory of witnessing them trying to get him unstuck off of railing & porch. It was so bad I had to call 911 for a lift assist team to help THEM!!! Then to add insult to this horrific memory. They apologize the next day and offer a 50% "COURTESY DISCOUNT". Porch scratches remind us everyday of this businesses 'NEW TRADITION"...I would definitely NOT recommend!!! read more

Crown Memorial in Milwaukie exceeded my expectations. Tiffany respectfully and adeptly guided me and my family through the days following our Mother's passing. Tiffany was very knowledgeable about the processes that needed to be attended to, and provided options, services, and directions. She was very easy to work with, flexible, and caring. I feel like I could go back to her at any time with followup questions, and she would be right there for me. I highly recommend considering this great group of people! read more

The folks at Crown Memorial in Tualatin were extremely caring and attentive and knowledgeable. They have a process of making arrangements as streamlined or as custom as you want. We knew exactly what we wanted when our mom died at 100 a little over a week ago. Erika and all the staff allowed us to do all the paperwork and payment on line. They picked up the phone when we had questions and provided prompt email responses as needed. They were recommended to us and we highly recommend them. read more

Crown assisted my family with my estranged Veteran homeless brother who lived out of state from us. Their online process was easy and response time was quick. They were able to coordinate with the Medical Examiner's Office for pick up and arranged for a short viewing upon our arrival in town. Erika listened to our situation and was able to allow us to take my brother home within the week. I appreciated their professionalism and compassion. read more

My son (April 2020?) and mother Oct. 2021 both passed away about a year apart and we went to Crown both times. They were very considerate of our emotions, and helped us work through the process. I recommended them to a couple of friends and they too are very happy with them & their service. And in checking around, their prices were pretty good than a few others. Thank you for helping us get through a couple of very difficult times. read more

Very helpful and accomodating. The entire process was smooth and trouble-free. They took time to explain options, made appropriate suggestions, and treated me with respect and caring. They handled virtually everything, and kept me updated, followed through, and then offered on-going support afterwards. I've never done anything like this before, and they have my thanks for walking me through the process start-to-finsh. read more

No one looks forward to having to find a memorial service......However, I have recently needed one to help me with my loved ones. Both times, they have proven to be exactly what I needed. Kyle helped me with some difficult paperwork and went over and above to make things happen. Thank you so much. read more

Our experience with Crown was a easy transition for us. The person we worked with was Dustin. He kept the atmosphere pleasant even though he knew our family was devastated since it was the passing of my father. They really showed that they cared for you and your family and not just your money. read more

Staff were very warm, kind and supportive. They took care of things really well and some things I didn't even think of. I highly recommend them. They took care of my mother, on time and with great kindness! read more
