I cannot recommend WF Gormley & Sons more whole-heartedly. From the first moment Pat came to…read moreretrieve my stepfather's body he led with kindness, grace, compassion, and sincerity. I felt immediately at ease and like I had a partner in this difficult and disorienting time. He made house calls for even small things to help my mother and I feel at ease. He ensured we understood everything and held our hands through every step of the process - from the cremation and urn selection, to the funeral program and pastor selection. The pastor he selected (Ed Black) was tremendous and partnered with us to craft a memorable and heartwarming (and even funny, at times) tribute to my stepfather. I have zero hesitation encouraging anyone reading this to look no further and just call WF Gormely & Sons now. You will be so, so glad you did. I know I am eternally grateful.

This is the worst cemetery I've ever had to deal with! Not only are the consistently throwing away…read morepersonal and sentimental items, letting the grass dry out but they will leave food to rot.

I sadly had to lay my son to rest exactly 4 years ago today. In the four years, my time coming to…read moreSt. Mary's has been so traumatizing. I have bought things for the grave had them ripped out and thrown into the trash. I've followed a guidelines. I even used to drive and pick up things the day before cleanup mind you clean up still didn't clean the area. Well enough I would have to weed eat and do everything else around the grave. My son's headstone was put in crooked. I feel a little weary about the fact that as I see other graves going in, I am not sure how the three spots I bought next to my son would still be there for me too be buried there. One of the things I will never forget is it was during Covid when my son passed away I was unable to see him, so I told the management that I wanted to see my son before they lay him to rest, the amount of time the gentleman spent trying to talk me out of it is unreal! He made it sound like my son would look horrific and tried to scare me as how I feel. When I see. my son, it only seemed as though he was sleeping. Why scare a mom Another thing that stood out to me is communication. I feel like in the beginning you're grieving so much that the last thing you want to do is complain and they take advantage of that. The cost of the funeral we stopped counting after 20,000. We wanted to pick the most beautiful area of the whole place and unfortunately feel like because it's one of the places that they drive by the most. It is the one place that they decide they don't want anything around the grave at all. I asked for them to contact me when they were putting the headstone in. It would've been one thing if they told me they could not however they told me they would and they promised me. I only knew about them putting it in because another parent who lost her child text me that it was getting ready to be put in. I was able to bring a bag and asked the gentleman for some of the dirt that he was digging up. More than anything it's the lying. It's the changing of rules just everything changed immediately one week after deciding to bury him there. I wanted two flower pot things. They said yes butt one day said "we stopped doing that" I can handle things as long as you're honest with me! Management has not been honest with me from the gate. It is very expensive. If you are planning to bury somebody here, please don't buy the headstone through them you can save a lot of money going elsewhere. I would put in writing the things you're asking for unless they say yes to because unfortunately I don't know what else you could do to be sure that that happens. I have tried to get a hold of management before and only had the girls at the front to talk to, which is very upsetting because I don't wanna be upset with somebody that has nothing to do with whatever is going on at the grave it's unfair to them as employees. This entire process has been so traumatic and traumatizing on top of me losing my only child. My son was 24 years old my best friend and they have made the entire process that much harder I have been with other people to other graves and other lawns, and even around Christmas time the way they can put a Christmas tree up and decorate and stuff. It's just more homely and feels more amazing. I have so much more to say and I will update this when I get a chance. Including photos from my Facebook review if not allowed admin let me know thank you.

Our family member passed on April 9, 2025 and had adamantly communicated to us ten (10) years ago…read morethat his funeral package expenses are all paid in full! He was of sound mind and very proud that we would not have to worry about anything financially! I called three years ago and spoke to "Clarence" who was in charge of the funeral side and told me that everything was paid for in advance and that there would be no costs. He pulled the paperwork and I emailed mine to him and he said yes! After setting up an appointment a week after he passed and with our paperwork in hand, they began to tell us that the only thing that was paid for was "the plot" only??? Nothing else is paid for??? Our Fred was a very smart man and retired from the State of California after 45 years as a IT guy. He retired after working at the California State Lottery Commission! He would never just take to drive to South Sacramento when he lived in Citrus Heights and just pay for a plot with nothing else paid for!! He did not want that burden put on us financially and he said so 10 years ago and again 3 years ago!!! As his family, we never understood why he choose this funeral home and cemetery to be buried at, when no one in our family ever lived in South Sacramento, unless he responded to some sort of "ad" they sent out in 2001 as a way to gain business. The place was old, dark, run down, not kept up and smelled of urine. We looked at the paperwork in the office and it says no casket?? We were shocked and didn't know what was going on here. So, we looked at each other knew it must of meant that he was being cremated?? Wrong... The paperwork is not right? Something is not right! He was more than likely "mislead" and told something else otherwise. This smells like "fraud" here. He took care of all of this and signed this prepaid contract on 7/16/2001, and put money down on his prepaid contract and made 72 payments of $76.00 taken directly out of his bank account!!! I just read some complaints on here where inexperienced employees did not have the right amounts on paperwork and some paperwork was missing!! In the meeting, they were trying to shove a expensive price list in our face so they could take even more money on top of what he paid. Something is not right here and again, it smells like "fraud" and trying to mislead customers. PLEASE BE AWARE AND DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN! DO NOT PREPAID ANY FUNERAL SERVICES WITH THEM! We left very upset and felt bad that they mislead him and took his money. Again, he would never just purchase a "plot" only and nothing else. Who does that? You have to put the remains somewhere before a burial, and he would not do that!! We told them that he was mislead and got up and walked up before they tried for the "second" time to shove a expensive price list in our face!! I told them I would be contacting our Attorney and Law Firm to obtain back the monies he paid by having them to buy back his plot for the price he paid for it. This is the right thing to do.The funeral counselor that gets paid via commissions only, said that the plot was now worth $18,000. We only want the price of the money he paid in July 2001. I am filing a complaint with the "Funeral Consumers Alliance" and the "Cementery and Funeral Bureau" here in California. I decided to write this on Yelp so this doesn't happen to anyone else. This is heartbreaking, because anytime you purchase funeral packages or families trying to make arrangements, etc. is a very emotional and sad time. And, this is one where he was taken advantage of. How many more families of the Sacramento community has this happened to from Sacramento Memorial Lawn and not reported. Some of the written comments on here have gone through poor experiences at such a stressful and emotional time. We ended up finding a wonderful funeral home/chapel In Roseville where we live, who has been family owned since 1954, before we even left SML's parking lot. We were a little stressed after all of that. They took us in like we were part of the family and the Manager greeted us with empathy and kindness of what we had just gone through with SML. She sat down with us to support us and help us to set up getting the cremation taken care of and his body transported from Mercy Hospital to their crematory. She went over every detail of the prices, we paid for everything, signed the paperwork and were on our way. This gave us so much peace and we were grateful at the way things turned out for us.

From start to finish, our experience with Aubree was nothing short of exceptional. During one of…read morethe most painful and overwhelming times in our lives, she brought a sense of calm, clarity, and genuine compassion that made all the difference. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answered every question with patience, and guided us through each step with professionalism and kindness. She never pressured us into anything we didn't want, and instead focused on honoring our family's wishes with integrity and respect. Her efficiency and organization helped everything run smoothly, which lifted a tremendous weight off our shoulders. What truly sets her apart is that her support didn't end after the service. She has continued to be responsive, helpful, and present for our family even afterward. That level of care is rare, and it meant more than she probably realizes. We are incredibly grateful to her and cannot recommend her highly enough. She is not only excellent at her profession, but she is also a genuinely wonderful human being who brings comfort and dignity to families when they need it most. Special thank you to Aubree and her assistant for going above and beyond handling every single last thing for us.

Meanwhile, I am heartbroken to announce that my beloved mother was interred this week after dying from cancer. As grief stricken as I am, I want to commend the amazing team at East Lawn for their kindness and compassion. In particular, Christian Vaituulala, our Family Service Counselor, was exceptional. I encourage everyone to pre-pay their final planning because whether you're going for a cremation niche or a mausoleum or a casket burial, it really does cause a lot of peace for the family when they're not hit with those expenses at the end. East Lawn offers amazing financing options and is simply a classic wonderful leader in the industry. I can't thank them enough and I recommend them highly.

Per California Cemetery and Funeral Bureau:…read more The Law Does Not Allow: Funeral establishments to charge a handling fee if you wish to use a family built casket or purchase one elsewhere! BE AWARE - This place WILL charge you $1000,00 if you do not accept their plan that Includes the CASKET! They say it's a PACKAGE DEAL! Actually it is a WORD GAME to get the CUSTOMER pay $1k more! If you want to shop around for a cheaper outside of East Lawn Casket THEN YOU PAY $1,000. EXTRA USE it! Per California Cemetery and Funeral Bureau: This is STILL PAYING EAST LAWN $1,000. to use an OUT SIDE Casket! Which the California LAW does NOT ALLOW!

One is that the porta potties are locked (at least they were the day I went which was a Sunday). The other is that there are only a couple parking spots. But there is a Target not too far away where you can park and use the bathroom and then walk over to the cemetery, so that's going to my solution from now on.

A day or two before the service they they opened an online obituary portal at their home page that allowed folks to leave well-wishes online. The comments are vetted before being published (authorization completed by the family of the deceased). The day of service was extremely hard, but the funeral home was absolutely professional and there was not oddities to report. The location of the funeral home was reasonable to get to--parking limited, but manageable. It was a hot day, but they had the air conditioning set to a chill level (making sense for open caskets). I don't mean to sound clinical about this review, especially when so much emotion can go into why you are there, but in the end. The funeral home was clean, provided for everybody that came to pay their respects. Prior to the service they cycled photos and/ or video reflecting memories of my friend and his family that survived him. I can't address pricing, but I heard the average cost of a funeral can easily run around 15K, and the lavatory I don't know because I didn't use it. The initial room where you first walk in is furnished nicely and to be honest it was a good area to take little ones that aren't able to sit long during the service. The area allows you to still hear what's going, limits the noise the main hall hears, and keeps you out of immediate line of sight. Anyway, if you have to use services like this, North Sacramento Funeral Home is professional and does it correct.
