Very professional, and respectful. The only bad experience we had is purchasing the flowers. The default delivery address was NOT the funeral home will be held; need to update the funeral home address manually. If people didn't pay attention, their flowers might be delivered to the wrong location. Because we didn't receive a few. The staff from flower platform was very nice, but one of the flower shops (we don't know which one) was not good. They delivered flowers late and missed one of the flowers. Suggest to follow up after placing flower orders.

Exceptional Funeral Services for My Father…read more Losing my father was one of the hardest moments of our lives, and I had no idea where to begin with arranging his funeral. From the very first call, the team made the entire process so much easier and more manageable for us. They guided us step-by-step--from helping us schedule meetings, to clearly explaining what needed to be done depending on the practices we chose (Catholic or Christian), to handling all of the important documents on our behalf. Their advice was always practical, honest, and rooted in experience. One thing that gave us tremendous peace of mind was knowing that my father would be cared for with dignity during his full-body repatriation to the Philippines. They ensured that he would arrive safely and properly prepared, and we are forever grateful for that reassurance. A special thank you goes to Tom Beddingfield, who was a true anchor through all of this. His patience, professionalism, and steady guidance made an overwhelming process so much easier for our family. I cannot thank him enough for a job exceptionally well done. We also want to highlight the incredible work of Dean DeBruin, who created my dad's video tribute. This was no simple task--my father had a massive and disorganized collection of photos totaling 16 gigabytes. Dean was unbelievably patient, kind, and accommodating through every revision and request. The final tribute was heartfelt, beautiful, and truly captured who my dad was. The coordination between the funeral team and the church was seamless. The staff communicated directly with the parish where we planned to hold the viewing and funeral mass, which removed so much stress from us. We are especially thankful to Fr. Francis, who reached out personally to learn about my father's life so he could honor him meaningfully during the service. We would also like to express our deep appreciation to Noriel P. Adricula, the incredible singer and pianist who provided the music for the funeral mass. His performance was heartfelt and beautiful--exactly what my father deserved. All who attended my father's funeral were in awe of how beautifully everything was managed--professional, heartfelt, and all at a very reasonable price. We felt supported every step of the way, and we are truly grateful for the care this team provided to our father and to us.

We received the time of the service less than 24 hours in advance and unbeknownst to us the location was not disclosed till Wednesday evening for a Friday service making it difficult for out of town friends and family to travel. In our grief my brother chose Sacred Space because he thought it was a local funeral home. The "transportation" company who took our Mom was low budget. The fitted sheet goes over the guerney! The van was not detailed and had a Hawaiian warrior head made of a coconut shell and feathers hanging from the rear view mirror. Is this a personal vehicle?! And a tree deodorizer hanging at the rear door. Sacred Space is not a Funeral Home it is the mailing address used for an office and your loved one will be contracted out to an actual funeral home/mortuary elsewhere and in our case over an hour away! The last thing a grieving family needs is confusion and unnecessary drama. Skip the mortuary middleman and deal directly with a reputable brick and mortar Mortuary.

She was patient and helpful and made sure we were comfortable with the setup and ensured things ran smoothly. The presentation was clean and personalized to our religionious preferences. Darling & Fischer were very professional from the first phone call, when I spoke to Maribel, who picked up the phone at a very late hour. Our loved one passed away in another state, and they coordinated with the other mortuary to receive her at the airport. The rest of the staff were gracious and helpful as well, and there was always someone receiving guests at the entrance or making sure to help guests find our place. The casket and flowers surpassed expectations, and the AV setup was sufficient for the size of the room (the main chapel downstairs). A separate room was also prepared for refreshments and coffee, and a podium for speakers. Annie worked with our religious leader to have the altar set up, and the settings were beautiful. After the funeral procession departed for the burial site we forgot several items. Steve and Danna were there and remembered to bring it for us. It's the little details that made this memorable and painless. I am considering DF for my own policy now that I'm older, and definitely know they will take good care of my family when it's my turn.

Several years ago when my husband was put in a care facility, they wanted to know who to call when…read morehe passed. I was looking at mortuaries, alone with an unfamiliar duty in an unfamiliar location. I finally turned to Yelp to see what was posted about mortuaries I'd looked at when David from Honor Cremations popped up to say he thought he could help me. I truly felt an instant feeling of safety and trust. Sometimes we're lucky enough to get guidance. David is kind, sympathetic and morale. I spent the next several years feeling secure for when the time came. One of the few things I was able to feel secure about. When my husband did pass in the middle of the night in the veteran hospital hospice, they knew to call Honor. Because it might take time for Honor to arrive, the hospital wanted to take my husband to their mortuary and I refused saying we would wait for Honor. I trusted them and knew he'd be in good hands and those feelings were right. The gentleman who arrived to take my husband helped the nurse prepare him so when he came out of the room he was draped in the American flag. With everything else my husband and I went through with the change in care facilities, finances, and just 'handling it all' as my husband's condition worsened over the years, David's honesty and compassion took this step off my shoulders. I have purchased Honor Cremation for myself, so our children have the confidence to know everything will be taken care of. Thank you David and Honor Cremations. When so many unexpected doors closed with years-long tragedy, you offered a safe open door.

I cannot thank the team at Honor Cremation enough for the care they showed my family during my…read moremom's cremation and memorial process. Losing a parent is incredibly hard, but they handled everything with such a high level of dignity and grace that it truly eased some of the burden for us. Communication: From the very first call, I felt heard and supported. They were incredibly patient with all of my questions and kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind. The Process: I found their approach to be very modern, transparent, and straightforward. There was never any pressure or "salesy" feeling, just genuine empathy and a focus on what my mother and our family needed. The Memorial: They helped us navigate the details for her memorial with so much respect. Everything was handled professionally, allowing us to focus on honoring her memory rather than worrying about the logistics. I am so grateful to have had their guidance during this time. If you are looking for a team that treats your loved ones with true honor and provides a seamless, compassionate experience, I cannot recommend them highly enough. I also really appreciated the honesty in their business model. I know it could technically be cheaper if they did every single thing in-house, but they intentionally use outside sources for certain steps to ensure everything is handled by specialists. I actually felt like I got more value this way because I knew I was getting the best possible care at every stage. It's also worth noting for other families that they don't have an embalming service; they focus purely on a dignified, natural process which was exactly what we wanted for my mom. I am so grateful to have had their guidance during this time. If you are looking for a team that treats your loved ones with true honor and provides a seamless, compassionate experience, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Honor Cremation, for taking such wonderful care of my mom.
