    This review is a little over do but I felt the need to share my experience here at this funeral…read morehome. My mom passed away Jan 3rd and this is where she had my grandpa's funeral and many years ago my grandmother's funeral was held here so me and my 3 brothers decided to have my mom's here. We had Jessicah Shoemaker as our funeral director. We read reviews after we had arranged to meet with her and decided we would have our own experience with this funeral home hoping all would turn out fine. After meeting her she seemed fine and trustworthy. We took care of picking everything we needed to for my mom's funeral. As time went by we would reach out to her a few times with no response so I did have to talk to someone higher than her by the name of Scott who got things rolling for me. Day of funeral 1st Wen me and my siblings got there we wanted to set up the decorations we had to make things look nice before anyone came in and have a moment together unfortunately a group of family got in while we were setting up. So I let the lady that was apart of st.marys know if we could lock the doors before anyone else got in. Then another person came in and the lady apologized for it and said shed lock the door. Eventually we had to unlock the door because people were trying to get in at the other end (This happened because we were unaware we could ask to have a moment alone with our mom before people arrived) this is a moment me and my siblings will never get back. 2nd Jessicah was no where to be found until 30min before the funeral started and that was Wen she let me know they been having issues with their microphone and that it wasn't working. (It would of been nice to be made aware of this in advance so I could bring my own speaking and microphone) she did offer their speaker and microphone which they rolled out and set up for us again during the viewing of the body minutes before the funeral started. Unfortunately the speaker wasnt loud enough. No one could hear in the back of the hall. Horrible 3rd. Wen it was time for the slide show we made it wasnt playing so I went to the back to see wat the malfunction was and it started to play but there was hardly any sound. I asked them to make it louder because we could barley hear it while sitting in the front row it literally was like someone was whispering because the sound wasn't working and Jessicah said thats all it could go. My niece had to use her phone to play the songs so we could hear the music that was attached to the slide show. I asked Jessicah who would I talk to regarding all this and she said all of wat? I had to explain all these mess ups and she said it would be Scott. Me and my older brother were stressed out at my mom's funeral unable to mourn and sit like we should have been able to. I was very dissatisfied with the way all this went down. I had a meeting with Scott who then basically told me he was sorry but sounds like there was an issue with the sound system that day and that we should of let Jessicah know we wanted a moment with our mom wen we were planning her funeral(Which we've never done this before so we wouldnt of known. I feel like the director should ask us if wed like a moment on that day before allowing everyone in) but thats pretty much it. He made excuses for Jessicah and her role and I felt he down played the way things went. He even told me that He'd probably be like me a perfectionist running around taking care of things instead of being like his sister and sitting and letting things just roll and not care if they weren't going right. We paid 10,000 to lay my mom to rest. This was a special day that we just wanted to go right. Its sad that there was nothing that could be done even after telling him all my concerns. I felt the fact that the sound system wasn't working was a good reason to deduct some of the cost because its apart of wat we paid for. Just wanted to share my experience with this place. If u decided to still use them just make sure u keep a close eye on everything and ask questions. Make sure their sound system is running correctly and let them know if u want an alone moment with ur loved one while planning the funeral.

Marsha guided us through the process from the beginning to the end with patience and understanding at a difficult time. She made herself readily available to answer all of our questions and responded promptly if she was unavailable at the time. Seeing her there on the day of the funeral had such a calming effect on us. I am so glad we were able to work with Marsha and the friendly staff at the funeral home as well as at the cemetery.

From the very first conversation, Dione made what could have been an overwhelming and emotionally exhausting process feel manageable and dignified. She was patient, attentive, and exceptionally accommodating. Every question I had was answered with clarity and kindness. Every concern was met with understanding. She never made me feel rushed or pressured, only supported. What stood out most was her genuine compassion. This was not just a service to her, it was evident that she truly cared. She treated my loved one with respect and handled every detail with grace and professionalism. During a time when emotions are heavy and decisions feel difficult, having someone steady, calm, and empathetic guiding you makes all the difference. Because of Dione, I was able to focus on honoring my loved one rather than feeling overwhelmed by logistics. That is a gift I will always be thankful for. If you are searching for a funeral home that operates with integrity, compassion, and true care for families, I wholeheartedly recommend Sierra View Funeral Home. You can trust them to handle your loved one's arrangements with dignity and respect.

They have a delay with the cremation and getting it into the urn. Everything was last minute they couldn't guarantee the urn would be ready in time for the celebration of life. The place is peaceful and well decorated. One of the workers was at the door to greet us and pass out programs. 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.

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.

He was of sound mind and very proud that we would not have to worry about anything financially! I called three years ago and spoke to "Clarence" who was in charge of the funeral side and told me that everything was paid for in advance and that there would be no costs. He pulled the paperwork and I emailed mine to him and he said yes! After setting up an appointment a week after he passed and with our paperwork in hand, they began to tell us that the only thing that was paid for was "the plot" only??? Nothing else is paid for??? Our Fred was a very smart man and retired from the State of California after 45 years as a IT guy. He retired after working at the California State Lottery Commission! He would never just take to drive to South Sacramento when he lived in Citrus Heights and just pay for a plot with nothing else paid for!! He did not want that burden put on us financially and he said so 10 years ago and again 3 years ago!!! As his family, we never understood why he choose this funeral home and cemetery to be buried at, when no one in our family ever lived in South Sacramento, unless he responded to some sort of "ad" they sent out in 2001 as a way to gain business. The place was old, dark, run down, not kept up and smelled of urine. We looked at the paperwork in the office and it says no casket?? We were shocked and didn't know what was going on here. So, we looked at each other knew it must of meant that he was being cremated?? Wrong... The paperwork is not right? Something is not right! He was more than likely "mislead" and told something else otherwise. This smells like "fraud" here. He took care of all of this and signed this prepaid contract on 7/16/2001, and put money down on his prepaid contract and made 72 payments of $76.00 taken directly out of his bank account!!! I just read some complaints on here where inexperienced employees did not have the right amounts on paperwork and some paperwork was missing!! In the meeting, they were trying to shove a expensive price list in our face so they could take even more money on top of what he paid. Something is not right here and again, it smells like "fraud" and trying to mislead customers. PLEASE BE AWARE AND DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN! DO NOT PREPAID ANY FUNERAL SERVICES WITH THEM! We left very upset and felt bad that they mislead him and took his money. Again, he would never just purchase a "plot" only and nothing else. Who does that? You have to put the remains somewhere before a burial, and he would not do that!! We told them that he was mislead and got up and walked up before they tried for the "second" time to shove a expensive price list in our face!! I told them I would be contacting our Attorney and Law Firm to obtain back the monies he paid by having them to buy back his plot for the price he paid for it. This is the right thing to do.The funeral counselor that gets paid via commissions only, said that the plot was now worth $18,000. We only want the price of the money he paid in July 2001. I am filing a complaint with the "Funeral Consumers Alliance" and the "Cementery and Funeral Bureau" here in California. I decided to write this on Yelp so this doesn't happen to anyone else. This is heartbreaking, because anytime you purchase funeral packages or families trying to make arrangements, etc. is a very emotional and sad time. And, this is one where he was taken advantage of. How many more families of the Sacramento community has this happened to from Sacramento Memorial Lawn and not reported. Some of the written comments on here have gone through poor experiences at such a stressful and emotional time. We ended up finding a wonderful funeral home/chapel In Roseville where we live, who has been family owned since 1954, before we even left SML's parking lot. We were a little stressed after all of that. They took us in like we were part of the family and the Manager greeted us with empathy and kindness of what we had just gone through with SML. She sat down with us to support us and help us to set up getting the cremation taken care of and his body transported from Mercy Hospital to their crematory. She went over every detail of the prices, we paid for everything, signed the paperwork and were on our way. This gave us so much peace and we were grateful at the way things turned out for us.

The email received shortly there after was an excellent communication that provided complete instructions. We met up at our appointment time and I had all the documents I would need. Thanks for the concise ask. It was so relieving to do this on advance and not in our time of need. Kristen came back after making copies of our legal documents. She reviewed the additional documents she needed and after a series of initials and signatures we were all set. Such a smooth process. Absolutely appreciated Kristen and her kindness. She explained everything beautifully with attention to detail. What a great experience. I would recommend without any reservation. It was nice to see a great review from a fellow Yelper. We plan to return to get things in order to set up arrangements for us. The estimate for our needs was so affordable. We were looking for a simple cremation with death certificates.

I have bought things for the grave had them ripped out and thrown into the trash. I've followed a guidelines. I even used to drive and pick up things the day before cleanup mind you clean up still didn't clean the area. Well enough I would have to weed eat and do everything else around the grave. My son's headstone was put in crooked. I feel a little weary about the fact that as I see other graves going in, I am not sure how the three spots I bought next to my son would still be there for me too be buried there. One of the things I will never forget is it was during Covid when my son passed away I was unable to see him, so I told the management that I wanted to see my son before they lay him to rest, the amount of time the gentleman spent trying to talk me out of it is unreal! He made it sound like my son would look horrific and tried to scare me as how I feel. When I see. my son, it only seemed as though he was sleeping. Why scare a mom Another thing that stood out to me is communication. I feel like in the beginning you're grieving so much that the last thing you want to do is complain and they take advantage of that. The cost of the funeral we stopped counting after 20,000. We wanted to pick the most beautiful area of the whole place and unfortunately feel like because it's one of the places that they drive by the most. It is the one place that they decide they don't want anything around the grave at all. I asked for them to contact me when they were putting the headstone in. It would've been one thing if they told me they could not however they told me they would and they promised me. I only knew about them putting it in because another parent who lost her child text me that it was getting ready to be put in. I was able to bring a bag and asked the gentleman for some of the dirt that he was digging up. More than anything it's the lying. It's the changing of rules just everything changed immediately one week after deciding to bury him there. I wanted two flower pot things. They said yes butt one day said "we stopped doing that" I can handle things as long as you're honest with me! Management has not been honest with me from the gate. It is very expensive. If you are planning to bury somebody here, please don't buy the headstone through them you can save a lot of money going elsewhere. I would put in writing the things you're asking for unless they say yes to because unfortunately I don't know what else you could do to be sure that that happens. I have tried to get a hold of management before and only had the girls at the front to talk to, which is very upsetting because I don't wanna be upset with somebody that has nothing to do with whatever is going on at the grave it's unfair to them as employees. This entire process has been so traumatic and traumatizing on top of me losing my only child. My son was 24 years old my best friend and they have made the entire process that much harder I have been with other people to other graves and other lawns, and even around Christmas time the way they can put a Christmas tree up and decorate and stuff. It's just more homely and feels more amazing. I have so much more to say and I will update this when I get a chance. Including photos from my Facebook review if not allowed admin let me know thank you.
