I didn't think I'd be writing a review about a funeral home, but it matters, and I can't say enough beautiful things about Omega Society. My Mom and I picked up my sweet Dad today, and they were so kind, considerate and professional throughout the entire process. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They don't price gauge on people who are already hurting and offer helpful, clear, comforting service at affordable prices and answer all of your questions with patience and kindness.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is how it truly should be. The office had beautiful, unique urns to choose from, and helped with options on how to proceed with your loved one's ashes. We chose the velvet flag cover because my Dad was a true patriot and his ashes will be scattered at a later date. My family and I can't thank you enough for treating my Dad, Mom's husband of 58 years, and wonderful grandfather of 4, with such loving care. May your business stay blessed and prosperous! read more

I already knew about Omega Society from when I was a hospice nurse. We had a list of vendors to give to the family and we weren't supposed to have favorites, but [[HIGHLIGHT]]I always found it easier to deal with Omega.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When my fiancée passed away suddenly, I still called about five different companies but ultimately it was Omega that we chose. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Rosie was a pleasure to work with and I also appreciated Julie's assistance with resources.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We did an ID viewing and they had him looking so nice, that meant the world to me. And, not that cost is everything, but Omega was the least expensive. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We cannot thank Omega Society and Rosie enough for the amazing job they did for my family with my mother's passing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Rosie was professional and helpful with every aspect of our mother's service that from the beginning my family felt at ease in knowing our every request would be taken care of. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Rosie was always accessible and when busy would always get back to us as soon as possible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We will forever be indebted to Omega Society and Rosie for making my families loss a comforting experience in knowing my mom was taken care of till the end.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]When my husband passed, they were kind, patient and walked me through the process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was the one thing I didn't need to worry about -they took care of me. Every interaction was met with a kind work and appropriate emotions. With this being the most difficult thing I've ever had to do, the Omega Society was professional and kind. Thank you! read more

My mother is so traumatized she can't even type because of how you guys placed her mother so family and friends could go give their last goodbyes. Her mother's wish was to be cremated and the ashes would go with her father's ashes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My mom and uncle spoke to you guys about what to expect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My uncle said their mother would look really beautiful with lace and not all of her body wouldn't be shown. You never told them you were going to put their mother in a box with the lid nearby so once everyone left you just put the lid on and slide her into the fire. My mom is now having to take anxiety pills because of how you presented her mother!!! She cried the entire time. I'm also writing this to warn other people about what you guys did so no one else will have a nervous breakdown requiring Emergency Room treatment. read more

I don't appreciate the initial page I came across had a $0 cost "Cremation with Full Body Donation." and then I came across another page on the Omega Society site that their minimum/basic package is the "Essential Signature Elements" is $1,180. Then I found the General Price List... And I don't know how I got to over $2,800 without adding a thing above the "Essential Signature Elements" package. So, I cancelled immediately. read more

My dad passed and I needed to have him cremated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Rosie was the most helpful person in my time of need and grief, very compassionate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She was amazing and made the process so much more smooth. Great prices for all services provided. I would use this business again without a second thought. read more

Dealing with the death if a loved one is hard and painful, However the service and kindness i received for 2 of my family members, at different times, has been amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was fortunate to work with Melissa Estrada. She is so knowledgeable and helpful in meeting my needs[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. My husband passed away 3 months ago and [[HIGHLIGHT]]i received a card today from her expressing caring thoughts at this time of year.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend them. read more

We had an unexpected death in the family, we had neither experience or knowledge of what to do after this very sad and affecting event. As this was a drug related death the county coroners office gave us the names of a few funeral providers to choose from. After contacting the Omega society we were immediately confident to trust our loved one's remains to their care. There was no pressure, and every sense of care and concern for us, the survivors. I recommend them to anyone who finds themselves in this same situation. read more

Thank you Omega Society your assistance throughout this process. read more

I want to start by apologizing to anyone that read my positive review from a few years ago and chose to use Omega Society based on my positive experience. Apparently quite a bit can change over time and I'm sad to say this is the case with the Omega Society. I had previously used them for a loved one late 2019. I had a great experience, everyone who helped me from the Omega Society was great. The service really was top notch and they were quick to respond to any questions, and we received our loved one back about a week after passing. I have been referring them to family members and friends based on that positive experience and they were all please with the service they provided. I didn't hesitate to contact the Omega Society a couple of months ago when another loved one passed away and we were in need of a direct cremation. They picked my loved one up within a reasonable time, but it took a while to be contacted by anyone to actually take care of the arrangements. The person who helped us was a nice gentleman, but he continuously dropped the ball and was horrible with any and all communication. Without going into personal detail, we had an absolutely horrible experience using the Omega Society. After some pretty major issues and lack of communication and details from the person handling everything, I attempted to contact someone else to escalate the issues and hopefully resolve some of the problems, but couldn't get ahold of anyone. They rely on an answering service and not a single one of my calls taken by the answering service was returned by anyone at the Omega Society in the nearly two month period it took to get our loved on returned to us. The person handling our loved one's paperwork was extremely unresponsive, unprofessional and made multiple and obviously errors on legal documents. After not hearing anything for weeks I sent my 17th email(yes, 17 emails that mostly went unanswered) and asked when my loved one would be ready to be picked up. The person handling everything said my loved one was ready... so why was I never notified??? I made arrangements to come in "around noon" during what I thought were their business hours, this "around noon" time slot was approved by the person handling everything without any mention of being closed for lunch from 12-1:30PM. I arrived only to find their office door looked without any ringer or buzzer to notify them that we were there. Fortunately another employee had a food delivery or we would have had to wait until they reopened to collect my loved one. We also would have been happy to come during another timeframe had we been made aware they close for lunch. I was extremely disappointed in the level of service they provided pretty much from start to finish, even though the issues started almost immediately, they already had our loved one and there was little we could do. Being left in the dark and not knowing what is going on with your loved one or their body/remains is a horrible and unsettling feeling. I regret using them and wish I would have read some of the more recent reviews citing some of same issues to what we faced before choosing to use them again. Don't be enticed by their pricing, or their initial politeness, once they have your loved one and your money they don't care about actually assisting you or giving your loved one back. Formal complaints will be filed with the state regulatory board - Cemetery and Funeral Bureau. I don't want any other families to experience the issues we did while going through an already difficult time. If you're reading this and have faced similar issues I'm sorry you had to go through that and I'm sorry for your loss. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We're very grateful to him from the bottom of our hearts, he touched our lives in so many ways[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

First, the website had far more information as compared to the other three local cremation services. Omega provides price breakdowns so you can request exact what you want. Other sites had packages of services which were not editable. And to my surprise, the cost was very reasonable. I completed the documentation and received confirmation. When my husband passed they were here within hours and respectfully took my Sweet husband away. read more

The Omega Society understands, they care. Their professional in their handling of our precious remains. They are fair in their pricing. They made this process easy for our family. We are thankful there are companies that put service over profit. Thank you to all the staff that we worked with for your kindness and care. read more

The director was caring and compassionate. I trusted him. He held my values and I never felt judged. He does what most of humanity shuns away from, no one really wants to deal with death. He makes it easier to deal with. A true master of the profession. I recommend this organization for anyone. read more

Had an unexpected death in the family, and I had to take care of everything for him. We had used Omega before and didn't hesitate to call them again. Dominic was amazing throughout our difficult process, and Omega was a wonderful choice. Thank you, Omega and Dominic, for making our difficult process a bit easier . read more

Our daughter tragically passed away at 38 weeks before she could be born. As you could imagine, my wife was distraught and could not deal with these arrangements, and of course I should anyway. However, because she was the patient at the hospital, they kept insisting she be involved and kept emailing and bugging her. I finished all the paperwork and sent it. They always needed more information and it seemed to take weeks before they actually picked up our baby. 3 weeks later, nothing. I email Julie Aldridge, and heard nothing. I called and left messages....nothing. Then, they decided to call my wife back and tell her our daughter's ashes are waiting and we need an appointment. Extremely upsetting to her! So I call and no one picks up. I email, Julie, and do not hear back. They call my wife again! I finally get a hold of someone and make an appointment for 9am in the morning. I get there and they are not open. I had to walk into the back of the building (which was oddly wide open) and see all the equipment with someone being cremated, but no one to help. Finally, I catch a lady going to her car and she opens the front up for me and brings me the ashes in a plastic white container. No one even bothered to ever ask us if we wanted a nicer receptacle. Instead, they hassled us to provide information about our race, ethnicity, etc. I found this to be one of the worst experiences, which is the worst thing we needed to go through with such a tragic loss. Shame on you Omega Society! Shame on you Julie! read more

I don't write many reviews. However I would like to share that The Omega Society was just amazing with me when I was going through one of the hardest times in my life in 2011. When my mom was going through her battle with cancer I reached out to the Omega Society and they helped me organize everything for my mom. At the end I just mad a call and they were there in less than 15min. The service I received was perfessional and outstanding quality care. I recommend this company for your cremation and burial needs. I'm actually setting up an account for myself right now. read more

I knew the original owner of Omega, Jerry de Michaelis. He was a wonderful and kind man. He actually tried to persuade me to come work with him to expand his company. However, as a father having 3 girls under 10 years old, I was a little nervous about a career move, and declined his generous offer. I stayed in touch with Jerry for many years, until the sad day of attending his memorial. Enter the new owner, his daughter Janet. Janet was a far cry from her wonderful dad. That brings us to this year, 2022. My big brother Moose (Mike) just weeks from his retirement, passed from melanoma that swept through him like a wildfire and took him in less than 90 days. My sister-in-law, obviously still in shock, asked me if I could arrange for a cremation for Moose. In honor of my friendship with Jerry, I called Janet at Omega. No one answered, so I left a personal message to Janet, explaining the sudden death of my brother, and asked her to please call me at her earliest convenience. Not only did I not hear back form Janet, I heard back from NO ONE. Weeks have now passed, and to this day there has been no response from Janet, or anyone else at Omega. After waiting 24 hours, I called Neptune Society and they were taking care of my brother within hours. All I can say is that Jerry de Michaelis would have been saddened by the extreme lack of empathy and professionalism on his daughter's behalf, on such a dark day for my family. read more

My son passed away the afternoon before I was supposed to leave town. I contacted Omega to make arrangements for him to be picked up from the coroner's office after hours. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Someone called me back and worked with me late into the night to make sure that everything was handled before I left.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They notified me when he was available for pick up and were extremely nice when the time came for me to bring him home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They did not try to sell me an expensive urn or anything that I really did not need, so their costs were extremely reasonable. read more

Their prices are very reasonable and they were very respectful when my mom passed. The hospice team recommended them and they came out immediately. They took care of my mom with dignity and respect. I was able to have a viewing before she was cremated. They took care of all the paperwork and all the details at a time when I was devastated and not thinking well. They were incredibly understanding, listened and took care of all the requests that I had. I highly recommend them! read more

My Dad just passed in the beginning of June. The week before he passed I had reached out to Omega Society upon the recommendation of the hospice company we used for my Dad's care. I selected Omega Society because hospice mentioned they do a lot of work with the National Cemetery's and my Dad wanted to be laid to rest at the Riverside Cemetery. I worked with Melissa Estrada from the start to finish. She was so kind, empathetic and compassionate. I truly can't say enough how much that meant to me during this time. The process of setting a date with the cemetery and approval for my Dad to have the National Cemetery as his final resting point was easy and Melissa handled it all for us. I didn't realize Omega Society contracts for with another company for the pick up of the family member when needed, but the gentleman that came out for my Dad was nothing short of incredible! Truly every part of this was more bearable with the thought and care provided to us by Omega and their 3rd party vendors used. Thank you so much! read more

Congratulations on your sell to Foundation Partners (they own Tulip Cremations) Omega Society is now owned by Foundation Partners, a very good company from what I can read.
