My Mom is buried here because we have no other options in Auburn. Her plot was very expensive. The…read morehours are ridiculous and the staff are very rude. Today I was visiting my Mom. I got there about 3:45 because I know for some stupid reason they close at 5. I was visibly upset and should not have been driving. At 4:50 a woman rudely drove by, slowed down but did not stop, and yelled you need to leave now because I'm locking the gate and will have to call authorities if you are still here in the next few minutes. I quickly gathered myself and drove the posted 5 mile per hour speed limit out of the cemetery. The rude woman was at the gate with a nasty look on her face tapping her foot as if to tell me to hurry up. As if it is not a big enough nightmare that my Mom is gone, every time I go to the cemetery I have a horrible experience due to staff or just the horrible way they grounds are "kept". If you have a choice, I would highly recommend any other cemetery!

Unfortunately we had a recent unexpected death in the family and had the daunting task of selecting…read morea funeral home to handle everything. We were in touch with the funeral director Brian from the beginning until today when we finalized all arrangements. He kept in contact with us updating us along the way with each step and was quick to provide answers to questions as we were navigating our loss and were unsure of certain processes. They were very upfront with pricing and options along the way and had catalogs to select urns, caskets and cremation jewelry. If you visit the funeral home you can see some of the options in person. I understand since COVID that they also adjusted options for finalizing your loved one's services and burial via online form completion and selections which could save a trip or two to the funeral home especially for people who are out of the area or mobility challenged. We opted to do most items in person and visited the funeral home that is located in Old Roseville. It was easy to locate and parking is available onsite. They also have a chapel for services if a family would like to hold them there. Overall our experience was smooth and easy to navigate. Despite it being one of the hardest things we have had to do in life, we felt at ease knowing things were being taken care of. We would like to thank Brian and Cochrane and Wagemann for a smooth journey and care of our loved one.

When you're faced with a sudden, unexpected death, shopping around for a funeral home is not really…read morean option. We chose Cochrane & Wageman because they had 5 stars. But, we did not have the same 5 star experience as others may have had. Brian was nice & answered our questions as we could think of them. In this situation, who knows what to ask?!? You're in shock. You're mourning a huge loss in your life. Our loss was our daughter. Cochrane & Wageman is much smaller than any funeral home I've ever been in for grandparents, parents, etc. During the service, Doug Wageman commented that they'd never had such a large turn out before...ever...not even for Congressman. Before the service Doug & I spoke by cell phone so that he could get a sense of Melissa's short life on this earth. Her likes, hobbies, friends, family, etc. During the service, Doug, called her "Melinda" twice!!! (He did catch himself the second time). Can you imagine the shock of our sweet Melissa being referred to by a different name during her memorial service?!? By a seasoned "professional"? I was heart-broken & still can't believe that I didn't correct him right then & there. The shock was too deep I believe. How the heck does that happen?!? Once, it's a mistake & you apologize. But twice?!? Another issue that was brought up by several people was the lack of a designated attendant by a C & W employee as people arrived & to answer any questions. We had a couple people in wheelchairs & we had to go find somebody, in offices, to find out where they could safely position their chairs, as not to block entrances for fire safety, etc. I asked for a lock of my daughter's hair & was told by Brian that they would cut her ponytail off at the holder. I told them no. My girl was not going into her heavenly home without her ponytail! I only want a lock. Sounds ridiculous to some, I'm sure. But we all grieve differently. On the online memorial wall, people left messages & could purchase a tree to be planted in Melissa's name. When I asked where the trees would be planted, I was told that the trees would be planted in Paradise, CA. I wanted to confirm this a couple weeks later I was told that they never told me that. Ok, I'm in mourning, but I know what I heard. We were so excited to hear that our girl's tree would be in Paradise. A local devastation that she would be helping to rebuild. I believe that was told to me by Doug Wageman. In the end, the employees, which are very few, were somber & polite but I wouldn't recommend them. Getting our daughter's name wrong was a definite deal breaker.

I cannot say enough kind things about this team. Saying goodbye to my beloved dog was one of the…read morehardest experiences of my life, and they handled everything with such compassion, grace, and respect. From the moment we arrived, I felt supported. The staff was incredibly kind and thoughtful, making sure every detail of the burial service was handled with care. They created a peaceful, beautiful environment that truly honored my dog's life, which meant more to me than I can express. During such a painful time, it's rare to find people who lead with this level of empathy and professionalism. I'm so grateful for the comfort they provided and the dignity they gave my dog in her final resting place. If you are ever in the position of needing these services, I wholeheartedly recommend them. They made an incredibly difficult day just a little bit easier, and I will always be thankful.

We cannot take the steps needed with the lawyer to file with the court, and there is a deadline for that. We cannot grieve without her will and wishes being realized. We would never recommend Blue Oaks to anyone and will warn as many people as we can about their negligence.
