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.

I had a very unpleasant experience with another entity that had picked her up. I called and spoke with Jessica. She was very reassuring and put me at ease from our first conversation. She gave me detailed information of how much it would cost to get mom's body released from the other entity, and she did it swiftly. She was responsible, dedicated, supportive, understanding, delightful, caring, and very kind. I was so unsure of how to handle everything. She was so very helpful and sweet no matter how many times I called. She never made me feel like I was a burden or worried her too much. She paid attention to every detail of my mom service. She noticed that my mom had on nail polish that was chipped! She called to ask if it was okay to polish over her nails. I'm extremely happy and overjoyed with the way Jessica and her staff handled our family. I highly recommend using this company if you have a loved one that has transitioned.

I will always appreciate her help and kindness. She deserves a raise.

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.

During one of the most difficult times for our family, the lack of professionalism, compassion, communication, and organization was shocking. I had no idea Dale even noticed me repeatedly asking, "What next?" throughout the process, but I'm glad I wasn't the only one who witnessed the confusion and unprofessionalism displayed by the staff. From the very beginning, it felt like my grieving mother -- who had already paid for family plots years ago -- was being upsold during an emotional and vulnerable time. To make matters worse, we still have not received the death certificates that were paid for when the services were arranged. The follow-through has been unacceptable. The staff even asked my sister to leave a review, and trust me, she fully intends to. What makes this even more heartbreaking is that our family has trusted Sunset for generations. From great-grandparents to my own child, many of our loved ones are laid to rest there. We have dealt with them for years, and the difference in service and care compared to the past is devastating. What was once respected now feels like a complete disgrace. This experience has been painful, frustrating, and unacceptable. Something needs to change. Families should not have to fight for basic communication, respect, and services they already paid for while grieving the loss of a loved one. Sunset has become a disappointment to the very community that trusted them for decades.

During such a sensitive and emotional time, her behavior was incredibly unprofessional and lacked basic compassion. She was impatient, dismissive, and even rolled her eyes while we were performing a cultural ritual to honor and say goodbye to our grandmother. We were delayed about 20 minutes because a few family members took a wrong turn, but during that time, we could have been given the opportunity to spend meaningful final moments with our loved one. Instead, that opportunity was taken from us. When we were finally allowed to view our grandmother, we were given only a few seconds, barely enough time to process the moment, while Lizzy counted down with her fingers. It felt rushed, cold, and deeply disrespectful. She then left immediately afterward, offering no support or understanding. This is a beautiful graveyard where our family members are laid to rest, and in the past, we've had directors who were kind, patient, and accommodating. That is why this experience was especially shocking. No grieving family should be treated with such insensitivity. I truly hope no one else has to go through what we experienced.

They treated me with kindness and respect when I really needed it. I wasn't in a good place to write a review back then, but now that some time has passed and I'm feeling a bit clearer, I've started the process of moving my husband's ashes into a proper urn and planning for his burial. I reached out to Simple Traditions again to assist with transferring his remains. They not only helped with the transfer but also updated the burial permit for me and guided me on how to obtain his veteran flag. Once again, I was met with warmth and courtesy. Cherie, who assisted me, was knowledgeable and very helpful, guiding me on what steps to take next. She represents the company well. I wholeheartedly recommend Simple Traditions to my family, friends, and anyone else who may need their services.

Even though Lombard's menu of available options was extremely complete (including caskets, catering for celebrations of life, handouts for the funeral, flowers, etc.) they were also quite pricey. So we opted to buy an beautiful casket through Costco, create and print our own handouts with printing at FedEx, and do our own catering with wonderful food from Safeway. Despite that, there was never any pressure to purchase from Lombard, and Peyton posted a very complete obituary on their Dignity Memorial website. On the day of the funeral, Peyton was not only present to fulfill all of the details he had promised, but he added features we had not considered or requested. Throughout, very professional and classy, just what you'd want for your loved one.

They have a nice entry hall for the guest book to be placed and for the guests to sign in. The microphone and overhead projector worked like a charm. Everyone was able to hear the speakers and there was no static or feedback. The staff was polite and not intrusive. They even remembered me from last time I was there. The bathroom was easy to find and clean. They have a private lot and parking was a cinch. We even got parking in the shade.
