Nothing can really prepare you for death and when it was my Dad's turn my brothers, sister, mom and myself were crushed. We were given a pamphlet in the ER to choose which mortuary and my cousin had recommended this place. The nurse informed them and the Mortuary Director called us. We made an appointment and Vince was in charge of my Dad's funeral services from the 2 day viewing, coordinating with the church and burial place. Sage was Vince's apprentice and she was amazing with us as well. I'm in the business of healthcare. We are used to maintaining life, we prolong, revive, and try to find ways for patients to thrive. To deal with the people of the opposite side of the spectrum was something new to me. The aftermath of helping a family choose how their loved one wishes to be put at rest, helping them get closure through a burial was what McCune Garden Chapel did for me and my family. We so appreciated that because my mom and siblings were so filled with grief that we didn't know where to start. I'm so grateful for their guidance from finding us a deacon for the viewing, coordinating with the priest at the church and burial site, prompting us, guiding the pall bearers. Always kind and professional when we called with questions. We appreciate you. read more

We are so grateful for the care and compassion we received from Audra at McCune Garden Chapel. She was kind, patient, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire process of arranging my grandfather's services. Audra's communication was excellent--she kept us informed every step of the way, answered every question with understanding and compassion, and went above and beyond to assist our family with Veteran Services and to ensure all of our wishes were honored. Her warmth and professionalism made a very difficult time a little easier, and we will always be thankful for her support and guidance. read more

I've been meaning to write this for a while, but I think now close to a year after my mom passed is probably the time. Dealing with the death of a loved one is beyond difficult so I'm so very grateful to Audra, Janet and the rest of the staff at McCunes for taking countless calls and and answering countless questions with so much patience. The compassion in the voices is almost tangible through the phone. And if I can say being in the heart of downtown you almost feel the hug from the community. Thank you, thank you, thank you. My mom is smiling down from the heavens knowing that we were taken care of as we were taking care of her wishes. I am grateful. read more

My 2 sisters and I had to lay to rest, our 90 year old father in June, 2024. Since my dad was living in a Memory Care Facility in Dixon, we chose McCune Garden Chapel in Dixon. My sister and I made an appointment with Vince to go over the funeral arrangements. Vince was so kind and sympathetic to us, and was extremely knowledgeable as well, as he has worked with this funeral home for years. Vince made it so easy for us to choose the things we needed to (type of plan we needed, a poem for the funeral program and the coffin we purchased). My dad was laid to rest at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon. Vince has extensive knowledge about how the SVNC works and was able to give us very specific information about what to expect. We decided not to have an open casket, but my sister and her husband wanted to see my dad since they hadn't been able to see him for a few months before he passed. Vince set up a time for us sisters and our families for viewing at their sister business, Milton Carpenter Funeral Home in Vacaville (where they keep deceased individuals before the funeral). We appreciated that Vince was so accommodating to our request. He met us there and was so kind. I do want to mention, as well, that we did have one hiccup, but not from McCune or Milton Carpenter. I called Vince to tell him that my dad had passed and asked him if he had made a burial date with the Cemetery yet and Vince was so surprised because he never received notification that my dad was on his way to Milton Carpenter Funeral Home in Vacaville and he never showed up there either. Vince made several phone calls and found out that because Hospice had an incorrect name of the Funeral Home on my dad's paperwork, another Funeral Home in Folsom picked up my dad instead! Of course this was so upsetting, but Vince was very sympathetic, helpful and calm. So, instead of us having to pay additional $$ for the Funeral Home in Folsom to return my dad to Milton Carpenter Funeral Home, Vince said he knew the owners at the Folsom Funeral Home and had some business to take care of that day in Folsom, so Vince volunteered to bring back my dad to the correct Funeral Home, Milton Carpenter. We were so grateful to Vince for his generosity and extra time he took to remedy a problem that he or Milton Carpenter did not create. We are beyond grateful for all McCune and Milton Carpenter Funeral Home has done for our family. The funeral went without a hitch because of this fabulous company! Shelly A. and sisters.

Very compassionate and professional. They take care of everything in your time of need.

I rarely leave reviews unless it's absolutely warranted for either a good or a bad one but with McCune's Garden Chapel, after just losing my father in a tragedy, they were absolutely the best from the start and I wanted to make sure they receive the credit they deserve. Especially Brian, the Director. He was so wonderful. From the start, he had the best recommendations for creating a custom package, to florists and other services, and what items we needed to bring. You don't realize everything you need in a time like this and his knowledge and experience was so helpful. He allowed us to create the memorial service and other services even better than the way we pictured it. He made everything so respectful and appropriate, it was beautiful and classy and he was so sensitive to our feelings and emotions. There wasn't any mask policing or discussion regarding that. He just let us be. It was so refreshing. And I swear he pulled some rabbit out of a hat when it came to getting our Dads ashes back. We hadn't expected them as soon as we did but I really feel he must have worked some magic on the back end to make sure my Dad was with us when we needed him. It was absolutely perfect. I mean absolutely perfect! My siblings and I are so grateful to you Brian for your kindness and compassion and hard work making sure we gave my Dad the very best service! From the beginning until the end the experience was amazing, given the horrible circumstance of a death of your parent, so we appreciate everything you did! read more

I have lived in Vacaville since the early 60's and have attended services at McCune Garden Chapel for many friends and family members. My brother passed away recently and had purchased a pre-need package several years ago (thank you brother for planning ahead as it alleviated many of my concerns) which covered most of the expenses. My primary contact was with Vince, who was both professional as well as compassionate in helping me through this difficult time. He clearly communicated what choices my brother had made, what was included in the package and what was not, all while maintaining a kind, caring approach. I would recommend McCune Garden Chapel to anyone who has lost a loved one or is considering a pre-planned package. Thank you to Vince and to McCune Garden Chapel for all of your help through this difficult time. read more

I needed a feather certificate for my father who died in 1960. I remembered that McCune has provided the services even though I was only 8 at the time. He died in a different county but they obtained a copy of the certificate very quickly. I've attended other services at McCunes and I've always found them to be great. read more

Although they handled my father's funeral well, the billing practiced by this company is designed to profit as much as possible. It was probably in the contract, but I did not pick up on the fact they bundle funerals in packages. Just like a car dealer, if a buyer wants heated seats, the buyer must pay for a sunroof as well. In other words, I was charged for things I did not use. Specifically, I was charged $85 for 100 memorial cards, which at my request was not printed. Disgusting business practice!! read more

McCune just helped me with my father's funeral. Janet Kelly exceeded my expectations. She was professional but kind and compassionate. I had read that funeral service organizations were primarily concerned with making money. We had the opposite experience as they went out of their way to suggest cost saving plans. The funeral was today and my entire my family was very impressed by the service. Thank you Janet. read more

My family has used McCunes since the 50's. We have always had a great experience. We highly recommend them.
