I really appreciated the personal and compassionate service I received. Thank you Jeff - for all that you have done for me, my mother and my family. read more

I would recommend Elemental Cremation and Burial to anyone. My mother was taken from us suddenly in a tragic accident, leaving me, not only devestated by my loss, but completely overwhelmed by the prospect of handling my mother's arrangements. At 23, I felt so unprepared and was afraid of being talked down to or taken advantage of. Jeff, the owner, is very personable and friendly. He helped me through the process and treated me with respect, kindness, and patience. Their prices are very reasonable, and they understood that I had never in my wildest dreams imagined I'd be having my mother cremated at 42, and therefore was completely financially unprepared. They NEVER pressured me to buy anything. But also never treated me like the "bargain customer". Jeff and his staff have gone above and beyond to make sure the process has been as stress free for me as possible, and even went so far as to arrange for an employee to bring my mother's ashes to me. I also really appreciate their eco-conscious practices and I know my mom would have to. read more

First of all, I would like to thank Jeff Jorgenson, the owner, for his quick return call on a Sunday to answer our questions. Jeff was very friendly and personable which made our experience comfortable and stress free. He has great compassion for families dealing with the loss of a loved one. His gentle and caring spirit made our planning & decision making easy. His flexibility in where to meet helped a lot. We chose to meet in the Bellevue office, 10900 N.E. 8th St. We were dealt with very professionally and he addressed all our questions & concerns. I highly recommend Elemental Cremation & Burial. I thank The Lord for leading our family to Jeff. read more

Our family was in terrible shock with the suicide of my older brother four months ago in Seattle. We were never a religious family and my brother indicated in his final instructions that he wished to be cremated with no ceremony. My stepfather was doing some quick research and came across Elemental Cremation and Burial on the Web. It was part of the information that my mother gave to me when she asked that I be the one to make arrangements for my brother. I went online and read through the Elemental Cremation and Burial website. It was easy to navigate and to understand. Everything I needed was there, including a detailed range of services, packages and itemized price lists. I initially contacted them by phone and spoke with Stacey who is efficient, respectful, and knowledgeable and kept me informed along the way. They are set up so that you are able to complete the process via phone, email and fax. Her communication was excellent; I chose to do most by email, but she was available by phone whenever I needed. Elemental Cremation and Burial provides simple, straightforward services which is exactly what we were hoping for. There was no sales pressure or hidden fees and I never once felt as though they were simply trying to make money or sell me unnecessary items/services. They list their very affordable prices right up front and Stacey didn't try to up-sell me on services that were not needed. She explained the many aspects of how this whole process works, including things like ordering a death certificate and arranging the transfer of my brother's remains from the medical examiner to the cremation facility, all of which is completely handled by Elemental Cremation and Burial . All official paperwork and forms were emailed to me as editable PDFs so they could be quickly completed and sent back. Stacey also kept my out-of-town mother in the loop by cc-ing her on all communications. My mother, who wished to handle the payment, received an email itemized invoice from Stacey for the exact amount and services she quoted on the phone and that are listed on the website. Copies of the official death certificate arrived in good time and Stacey coordinated closely with us as to when the cremation would take place and when and where I could pick up the ashes. She even explained the process for retrieving my brother's personal effects from the medical examiner's office. I elected to pick up my brother's ashes at Elemental's Seattle offices and was relieved to find that they are located not in an ornate, mansion-like funeral home, but within a modern office building in the Dexter Avenue neighborhood. I arrived, signed a few papers in the office and was given a small, sleek plastic box (that was heavier than I expected). And that was it. My family and I are so grateful for the frank, open, yet compassionate and very helpful response of the Elemental Cremation and Burial organization. It enabled our family to focus on dealing with my brother's death and to concentrate on beginning the healing, rather than to be distracted and bedeviled by dealing with the usual funeral services providers, which more closely resembles the process of buying a car (but with guilt-induction). And I can speak with some experience because years ago I worked and lived at a funeral home in a pre-college summer job and observed up close their practices and procedures at the time when people are their most vulnerable. I strongly recommend Elemental Cremation and Burial. read more

Losing my mom wasn't easy and having to deal with what came next wasn't something I looked forward to, but thanks to Elemental, the process was peaceful and pretty much a non event. This left me time to be able to just be alone, and with Family, and process... Jeff took care of everything and was a very pleasant person to deal with while I was in sort of a state of shock and numbness. I am so thankful for this business and how I was treated. I highly recommend Elemental and sincerely thank them for their care and compassion in dealing with me. read more

When my father unexpectedly passed away, we had no prior arrangement or plan for him. After I googled for services, we selected Elemental based on prior reviews. Jeff (the owner) really impressed me after couple of telephone conversations by being very caring, honest, and a knowledgable person. He answered all my questions while understanding our family grief and respecting our due diligence. He handled our affair with outmost respect and dignity for my father services and was extremely professional and caring through the entire process. I was very concerned about his low fees and the quality of service that I could receive. We revived first class service and superior quality process all the way through the end. He certainly earns and deserve 5 stars for his company. read more

Couldn't have been more pleased with them. Service was fast, professional, and friendly. Very reasonably priced as well with no sales pressure. Particularly appreciate how transparent their pricing is with no hidden charges or surprises. read more

They handled a very difficult situation with sensitivity and professionalism. It was evident that what was most important was to care for their customers first. Thank you! read more

Jeff helped me and my family in so many ways! My father passed away than only 4 months later my mother passed way. He did everything he could to talk to us and there for my family when needed in this tragic time. Even after the fact of my parents passed he still messages me to this day asking me how I am holding up. Jeff made the whole "losing a loved one" easier for me because i had someone to talk to. He always had the rite words to make me feel a lot better. He wasn't just "a person that cremated my parents." He really cares. He always kept me updated on the process of things and when I didn't understand something he would make it so I did understand. If I could give Elemental Cremation & Burial 1000 stars I would. If anyone my friends or family need his services I will be sire to refer them to Elemental Cremation & Burial. Jeff you Rock!!! read more

I am not someone who writes too many reviews and it seems almost like a strange place to start (it's not like I'm reviewing a restaurant or a dry cleaner or whatever). but all I keep thinking is that this is the way she would have wanted it. This is the care my Mother would have taken if she herself were doing it for someone else. Thank you Jeff; my family is Blessed by your kindness. read more

I worked primarily with Jessica, as well as with Stacey after my grandparents both passed away within 3 weeks of each other. They were efficient, respectful, and knowledgeable during a very difficult time. I appreciate the care they took to keep me informed along the way, as well as their kind demeanor. I highly recommend working with Elemental for cremation needs- they made an otherwise horrible process as smooth and easy as they could. Every question I had was answered in a respectful and caring manner. I never once felt as though they were simply trying to make money or sell me unnecessary items/services. I really believe that they actually cared about me during the process as well, making sure that I was okay. My grandpa died on a Saturday, almost 3 weeks after my grandma; on Sunday Jessica called me just to make sure I was doing okay, and said that she would contact me Monday to go over paperwork and additional steps needed. I appreciate that she took time out of her weekend to make sure I was okay. read more

I am so thankful that we found Jeff with Elemental Cremation and Buriel. I'm thankful for their genuine and family focused care and service. What a treasure to our community. Elemental provided honest and straightforward answers. Due to unforeseen circumstances and the fact that this process was extremely hard on my mother, we were not able to travel to different funeral homes for prices and lengthy sales pitches. Many other local funeral homes would or could not even provide us with an estimate of cost for even the most basics unless we made an appointment with them. Elemental provided prices and services over the phone. Elemental was never pushy and we were able to complete the process via phone, email and fax. Elemental worked with our limited budget. They were NEVER pushy or trying to sell us additional products or services. From the beginning to the end, Elemental was focused on helping our family. Elemental treated our family with the greatest respect and bent over backwards to accommodate our family. For example, we could not get the urn in time for my father's service. Elemental provided us the option to pick up our fathers ashes in a temporary urn. This was amazing. Not only was it a beautiful and memorable service with our father with us, it provided a window for our family to say good-bye and start the healing process. I will forever be grateful to Elemental and for treating my family and father with respect and dignity. I'm thankful that there are still businesses out there that are honest and more concerned with helping a grieving family through a tough time. -Jeff, you are amazing, thank you for doing what you do! read more

It is easy and difficult to recommend a cremation and burial service. The easy part is posting a comment if the service was exemplary. The eventual event happened last weekend and Jeff was with me all the way. Many people (like me) have had no experience in arranging all the details after a passing. The quality of the experience with Elemental was sealed by the delivery of the urn and certificates by Kathleen. I did some research and was immediately turned off by the most intrusive company that must have paid Google lots of money to be at the top of searches in Seattle. That company's expenses to Google and other venues is charged to you in the form of a price that was more than twice what we paid to Elemental. When you are raw with emotion- the last thing is to have the hassle of a sales person that asked for a payment immediately, which could be returned if we changed our mind. I am so glad we found Elemental, and Jeff & Kathleen. Blessings. read more

OUTSTANDING AND AFFORDABLE ! Every aspect is completely perfect (and that is not an over statement) My contact was returned really quickly. Jeff is extremely caring and tended to the situation with grace and also with extreme efficiency. Kind, competent, effective, fair (prices right up front: very affordable). He keeps in touch and is truly top notch ! You will not be disappointed. Wow! read more

My husband passed away at a skilled nursing facility before I could research cremation services. Of course, the first thing I was asked after his death was where I wanted him to go. I had no idea. My son whipped out his smart phone, searched for cremation services and found Elemental Cremation and Burial. We called them due to their excellent reviews and couldn't be more pleased with their services. They were responsive, compassionate and communicative. As others have noted, they provide simple, straightforward services which is exactly what I was looking for. There was no sales pressure or hidden fees. I highly recommend them if what you are looking for is a simple cremation. read more

The death of a parent, even if it is expected is a difficult and trying time. We were extremely fortunate to have known about Jeff and his services, prior to my mothers passing. When we contacted Jeff, his immediate response was compassionate and comforting. Jeff's dignified handling of all the details made this difficult time much less stressful. I am profoundly grateful that the final arrangements for my mother were handled by Jeff. An accurate description of our experience would be, professional, caring, compassionate and dignified. I would not hesitate to recommend him and his services. read more

I simply can't say enough how impressed I was with the quality, kindness, and openness that I had with Jeff for the cremation services he provided for my mother. Everything was seamless and done to perfection. So much was done behind the scenes so that I could just focus on the loss and other details after her passing. My sincerest thanks and respect for what he did for my family and my mother. All steps and decisions were well explained and presented so we could make this personal. I can't imagine using anyone else after this experience. read more

I cannot overstate how incredibly pleased I was with the services provided by Elemental Cremation and Burial after the recent death of my father. Jeff was so professional and knowledgeable, but also truly caring and compassionate. This is a difficult time for any family to face, but I truly felt that Jeff listened to what both my father and the family wanted, and helped us to facilitate achieving that vision. I felt that my father was in loving hands from the moment we contacted Elemental Cremation and Burial after his death, right through the funeral and burial services. Jeff's efforts enabled us to create a unique end of life service, that really reflected my father. I would highly recommend the services of Elemental Cremation and Burial to anyone. read more

My family and I wish to convey our deepest gratitude to Elemental Cremations, Jeff the proprietor and his staff particularly Kathleen. My mother is the first of my immediate family to pass away. So this was all new and I had no idea what to do and where to go. The funeral home services attached to the hospice that looked after my mom were frustratingly similar to buying a car and the pricing was just ludicrous. Unless you're extremely wealthy and cost is no object it was a daunting task to undertake where you could potentially spend up to 6 or $7,000. We decided on a simple cremation and my sister found Elemental Cremations and burial and it would prove to be the best decision we could make. They made it very simple they were very straightforward there was no sales pressure it was entirely up to us and no hidden fees or surprises. They maintain constant communication and make sure all our ducks were in a row so The Cremation could be expedited and the family would find closure. My dad is old and has trouble getting around though he is in denial of that fact. Rather than him trying to make his way out to the Bellevue office to make payment since he refused electronic means they sent out an associate to collect the pavement to make it as easy as possible for him. They rendered their services quickly and we were able to get Mom's ashes back virtually the next day. Elemental made this end-of-life process as simple and painless as it could be. I felt a certain dread when I went to pickup moms ashes but upon meeting Kathleen and the facility being much less like a Mortuary dissipated my fears and they made me very comfortable which I appreciated very much. It is apparent to me that Elemental does care about their clients well being. They're compassionate and they do their best to make you feel comfortable. I highly recommend this company enough to anyone who needs or is looking for this kind of solution. We have closure so now we can go on with our lives. Thank you Elemental. read more
