To date I do not have any resolution with CMFC&G about his tombstone. I know they have the VA Stone, but they keep giving me the run around. I have chosen a light gray stone, no response. They do not use email. I last talked with them this September. For five years we have suffered with not being able to visit Mike or put flowers his grave. Plus at the time of his burial they said I had to buy two plots, not just one. I understand now that was not true. I want my money for the second plot back. Thanks for listening, Chris Hough

My father passed away in mid January of this year and was laid to rest in the mausoleum with my…read moremother who passed in 2003. The niche, double urn, and nameplate were all paid for when my mom was laid to rest. So anyways last month on Mother's Day (May 14th) I noticed the joint name plate wasn't up. I called them and they said they forgot to order it and apologized. I wish I could forget my dad passed. So they said that they put it the rush order while on the phone with me and they would try to get it up on Father's Day. So yesterday was Father's Day and it still wasn't up. Called them this morning (June 19th) and was told it was ordered on the 1st of May (a lie), that they told me it would take up to three months (another lie, that wasn't mentioned to me at all) and that the time it takes for it to be made is out of their control. And this for a rush order. I am very furious with how my dad's final resting place has been handled and I want to warn others about this for when the time comes to lay their loved ones to rest. Do not come here if you want your loved ones treated with dignity after they are laid to rest.

When my sister passed away quite suddenly, Ife and the funeral home took care of our immediate needs. Thankfully, we never had to deal with all the responsibilities that come with a death. In addition, my sister had pre-planned her cremation, and it was such a gift to us. Ife and the Neptune Society did all the necessary paperwork, sent us our copies, including the death certificate, and handled the cremation, so we were relieved of these duties at a time when we were just having enough difficulty dealing with the death. I have absolutely no complaints, and highly recommend the Neptune Society, Ife Capone, the Brookside Funeral Home and Crematory in Moxee Washington. We will definitely do our own pre-planning with these folks as a gift to our families.
