Once we made a visit to Return Home, the choice was easy. The staff was kind, compassionate, and professional, all with a sense of moderation that made discussions comfortable. We signed our prearrangement with confidence we took a step that will make things easier for our family. Little did we know we would need to make funeral arrangements a son of ours before our own time came. Our phone call to Return Home was answered immediately, and Director of Family Care, Brie Smith, took care of the logistical tasks, then worked with us to set up a memorial service for the family that we conducted in a lovely space on site. Following the memorial service, we made visits to our son as he was undergoing his terramation journey. We sat with him and admired the decorations and pictures so lovingly placed by the family during the service. Now, he has returned to our home and continues to be a part of our lives in our garden. Thank you Return Home for the great care of our dear son, and the kind attention you paid to our needs. Everyone we encoutered at Return Home on our visits treated us with the same considerate manner we experienced with Brie. We now have first-hand knowledge of what our own family will experience when they work with Return Home on our behalf. We could not be more pleased.

I had a great meeting with Zahar; we were able to settle on marble and expedite getting it here. We made 2-3 passes on the design, which went well. We did lose contact for a few weeks due to a glitch in their ticket-tracking system. Once they realized that and got back in touch with me, Zahar was able to complete my order, and my family is so pleased with it. It is a really lovely piece and I cannot express enough how much I appreciate that we were able to co-design something that I think would have made my brother smile.

It was completed and installed much earlier than anticipated at a very affordable price. The professionalism and expertise shows beautifully in this wonderful work of art. I highly recommend Edgewood Monuments! They've absolutely earned my most profound praise. I can honestly say that I couldn't be more pleased than I am with such a high quality, truly praiseworthy monument! It's already received compliments from everyone who's visited the gravesite. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting your heart and soul into meeting all my hopes and expectations so incredibly well!

Grounds are mowed, but the upkeep of the gravesites are the responsibility of the deceased. (If one has surviving descendants or loved ones that take the time to edge and clean the headstones, then it looks like there is a keeper) If anything is left at the sites, as a symbol of love, it will be mowed over, chipped up, and tossed about, left as trash on the lawn! Any metal flower urns are stolen, any plastic ones broken. BUT! There are trash cans and water to wash up with and add to flowers! Always a plus.

There were no pressure tactics, and I knew my mom would have preferred to be handled by ladies, which isn't all that easy to find in this line of work, so another added bonus. You would think these amazing people see this everyday and become numb, but Kelly and the entire staff treated us like family even hugging me when I was falling apart. There is no amount of stars or reviews that would be enough to say how remarkable this company is!! I will forever be grateful for the kindness and trustworthy business they provided!! Btw very fair pricing!! And lovely accommodations!! They're kindness made all the difference in my darkest time, they kept a candle burning to light the way.

I was devastated and heart broken but she was so kind, and helpful every step of the way. From sending me the necessary forms to complete and advising me on how the body would be handled from the hospital to the cremation services, I was so reassured. They also delivered the death certificates and ashes to my hotel because I was overwhelmed handling his affairs including cleaning out his house. She also prepared a letter for the airline in compliance with TSA-airline regulations. I did call a few places before selecting A Life Remembered so did compare prices and services. Their prices are very reasonable, and the personalized service was so much more than I expected. I'm so grateful to have found this company via Yelp, and would highly recommend them.

My Mom passed away suddenly in September. I live in Hawaii and she lived in Tacoma WA. I arrived in…read moreTacoma that same night and the next day my daughter found Natalie's business card on the table next to my Mom's chair. Natalie took care of everything! She arranged for my mom to be transferred to the mortuary, she was able to get the death certificate signed quickly and hand delivered certified copies to the family within a few days. She then had all the proper documentation for me to bring my mom's ashes back to Hawaii which I didn't even know to ask about. I had asked about jewelry to put some of the ashes in and she took care of that as well. It feels strange to even talk about pricing but the cost was way less than what we would have expected and to have someone caring and respectful that comes to the home twice, once to discuss your wishes, and the second time to hand deliver your loved one's ashes so you don't have to go through the pain of visiting the mortuary itself meant so much. Natalie even followed up with a card to let us know she was thinking of us. I would highly recommend her service to anyone.
