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.

We enjoyed a very intimate gathering with some very special family and friends. The area was spread out perfectly for people to share special conversations amongst one another. They offered coffee, tea, water to our guest. As we provided light snacks to follow with reception. We sincerely can not thank Serge, Greg for the utmost professionalism as well as patience. Greg spent so much time getting to know my mother, my family , her family. He gave such a heart touching ,remarkable sermon. They also offer a music video that was able to be live streamed for friends and family to see in other states or locally that could not attend. My mother would not of had it any other way. Thank you Miller Funeral Home!

Miller Funeral Home has cared for my family across generations, and I cannot speak highly enough of…read morethe compassion and professionalism they bring to their work. They previously handled my grandmother's arrangements many years ago, and at that time my parents made pre-need plans. Sadly, when my father passed on February 28, 2026, those plans came into place. From the very first moment, Miller Funeral Home guided us through everything with extraordinary care and steadiness. I want to especially recognize Alex and Vlad, who came to our home the night my father passed. They arrived promptly after the hospice nurse contacted them, and from the moment they entered, their presence brought a sense of calm to an otherwise overwhelming time. They treated my father with profound dignity and respect. Every movement was gentle and deliberate, carried out with a sense of grace that is difficult to put into words, but left a lasting impression on our entire family. They gave us the space and time we needed for our final moments with him, and because of that, those memories feel peaceful rather than traumatic. That is an extraordinary gift. I also want to mention Nick, who was incredibly kind and supportive when we later came to pick up my father's death certificate. Every interaction with the staff reflected the same level of compassion and professionalism. The environment at Miller Funeral Home is calm, nurturing, and thoughtfully maintained. It is also a beautiful setting for services, as we experienced when honoring my grandmother. I recommend Miller Funeral Home without hesitation. They handle every detail with care, dignity, and humanity when it matters most.

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.

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.

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.

Even so, it was still very upsetting when he finally died. Dad long ago asked to have his body cremated and the ashes placed next to our mom in the gravesite our parents had purchased decades ago. There are of course a large variety of choices when it comes to cremation with a wide range of accompanying prices and options. I realized quickly that we wanted to have this service done as cost-effectively as possible but still with a great deal of care and attention to detail. I visited Affordable Cremation of Roseville and met with Destiny Ivy. She patiently explained to me all of the different options available along with the laws and regulations governing this process. At no point did she try to upsell me on anything and I very much appreciated her honest and straightforward approach, especially during this difficult time. I chose to witness my father's cremation, which of course is not very commonly done; I guess I viewed this as my last act of service for my father. I want everyone to know the cremation facility is very clean and organized and there is a lot of effort put into making sure there is no adverse environmental impact from this process. Destiny was wonderful at keeping me informed throughout this entire process, which took about 10 days in all. She has great communication skills and is very empathetic, for which I am very grateful.
