I am in the research and planning phase for my husband and myself. We are 79 and 80 years old and…read morepretty healthy. We have 3 adult children with families. We want to take some of the burden off of them when the time comes. Fortunately, I called Barton's yesterday and spoke with Pat Barton. What a helpful person!! She gave me specific information I could use even if we never do business with them. Then, I visited their website and learned about some environmentally friendly alternatives to cremation that I did not even know existed. Without using hyperbole or catchy sales speak, the website provides in-depth information about options. This is a great help to anyone who is planning ahead.

Barton Family Funeral Services is really great. I highly recommend them. My mom of 102 years and…read more266 days passed away earlier this month.

Worst funeral home ever. So many mistakes and problems I can't even name them all. I've dealt…read morewith multiple agents there and each is as bad as the next. And the price is quite high, over $4000 just for a simple burial of cremains (cremation done out of state, not by Evergreen Waschelli) in a plot that the family already owns. And that's with name etching on an existing stone that's already in place, with no removal of the stone needed. I'm going there today and I'll bet that my mom's name is still not on the stone and that her obituary still won't be showing up on their website. Ugh

On December 7th, I took my 88 year old mother up to Evergreen Washelli to deliver a Christmas swag…read moreto her grandparents that are buried in the older part of the cemetery (the Pacific Lutheran area). We were completely dismayed to find the area where they are buried, covered in about 5 inches of decaying maple leaves. I used my shoe and tried to kick away the thick layer of debris, trying to expose her grandparents name plates. After about 15 minutes, we gave up. When I returned home, I went online and filled out a form that was right on their website and told them how unacceptable this was to my mother, and asking for someone to please reach out to me after it had been cleaned up so that we could try again.. It has been two weeks and no one has reached out to me regarding my concern with the lack of upkeep. So perhaps next year, I will call them and make sure the area has been maintained before driving the hour and a half.

I wouldn't recommend Holyrood Cemetery to anyone. At every step of the burial process there has…read morebeen some level of confusion, disorganization, or plain stupidity from the administration. Dad has been in an unmarked grave for over a month and a half. Not even a temporary placard while the headstone is shipped in. Mike Betts wants us to think it's the funeral home that's responsible for placing a temporary placard, which isn't true. The headstone was made in advance, it's been sitting in a warehouse since the 1980s. Mike Betts can't remember our recent meeting when he ordered the delivery, and has no shipping data at all. We got a check in the mail because we were overcharged on their services. The check was written payable to my Dad. Wouldn't the cemetery know he is dead and he can't cash checks??? Now it's another errand to fix their latest screw up. As a grieving family, we thought Holyrood cemetery was going to handle Dad's burial arrangements with grace and precision. We are disappointed. We had to call again to ask about the headstone delivery and the gentleman who answered the phone was so confused about their record keeping system, and he asked how to spell my Dad's name three times! Write it down once and remember!

His compassion and professionalism during this difficult period was extremely helpful. I recommend the Neptune Society for those considering cremation.

Each time I have to cut the grass around the stones (6+) just to see what is engraved. Sometimes it is difficult to get the urns out of the ground because they are filled with mud. Over the summer they had damage to the property and two of our stones was damaged and the urn from one was gone. 6 month later, NOTHING. Even after multiple emails with pictures. You would think both would have been addressed and responded to, but nothing to date (12/18/2020). Very disappointing place.
