As a hospice worker I have recommended Elizabeth and Cornerstone Funeral to many of my own clients…read moreand family. She has always risen above and beyond in helping each family through this difficult stage.

I used Cornerstone to help with my mother's cremation. My mother had already made…read more"pre-arrangements", so this was a huge help navigating the whole process. My mom was on hospice for 8 days, I provided the hospice with Cornerstone's name when the time came. Elizabeth and her team came to the house to pick up my mother, it was a very dignified and lovely parting knowing my mom was leaving in the care of Cornerstone. Elizabeth is a one woman show and still is able to be super responsive and on top of it all. She is very professional, friendly, incredibly compassionate, and deeply dedicated to her profession. Prices are affordable and transparent. Cornerstone has been in business over 20+ years and Elizabeth has been a mortician for over 30+ years. While my family and I only used cremation, Cornerstone offers a variety of options: Green Burial, Visitations, Burial Services, Funeral Services, Eco-Friendly Water Cremation, Gift of Life, Witness Cremation, Military Honors, and Natural Organic Reduction. There is NO cookie cutter approach to death and what the next steps are. You can create a celebration of life on your terms, or whatever your loved one expressed before they passed. In addition to her steadfast work as a funeral director, Elizabeth wrote The Green Burial Guidebook, gave a TEDx talk called, "Going Green: The Last Act of Environmental Volunteerism", and is the voice of the autopsy exhibit in the forensic wing at the United States National Museum of Medicine. She worked with Herland Forest in Washington to steward the first natural organic reduction human composting. In closing, sure I could have just written a simple 5-star review and listed the details of how Elizabeth and Cornerstone assisted me with my mother's cremation, but I felt they are so deserving of you knowing how incredible they are and all their services. There is simply no other choice when it comes to funeral services.

We are trying to prepare for my mothers upcoming service here. No hours of operation posted online…read moreanywhere. I just got back from attempting to go before typical office hours 5pm. I arrived just after 4:30 only to discover they were closed. So I went to see if they had posted hours by the door. Just then some guy rolls up tells me they are closed, thanks captain obvious. Then proceeds to ask me a bunch of questions which i was in no mood for. Not very tactful so I did not respond kindly. I hope to god this is not the beginning of a regretful experience. From the looks of these reviews I am quite concerned. People are mourning their loved ones, don't berate them with a bunch of questions just because you geniuses don't have the common sense to post your hours anywhere online. Do better!!!!

When my cousin, who was my best friend as well, passed away at the beginning of the year, my family…read morewas really having a hard time with his death. We heard something good about this funeral home and thought we would try them out to create a wonderful service for our loved one. I just wanted to warn some people before you waste your money at this place, these people are very fake and two-sided. They seemed nice off the bat, but during the reception for my cousin's service, as I was coming out of the restroom, I overheard two of the staff of this funeral home speaking ill of my late cousin. I was so appalled and didn't want to make a scene, and I had to go sit in my car and take a few breathers so I didn't go smack somebody. If you want a funeral home that will take care of your loved one until they are in their final resting place, DON'T GO HERE! If they are happy to speak in such negativity towards their clients, they deserve to have an honest review here. Once again, I am absolutely appalled. What they need is new management and a whole new staff.

Their care and concern was phenomenal. Andrea and her staff took care of everything, so we as a family could concentrate on just being together for each other.

I personally worked in the funeral industry and that is a requirement in California. I would NEVER trust anyone who works there as they lie and deceive and blow you off when you request proof that your loved one is buried there. I called, emailed and wrote for response for documents to prove who was buried there. Worse yet on day of funeral NO ONE was in office to take us to my child's alleged burial site. No greater disregard and disrespect has ever been shown nor given.

The cost was extremely reasonable, especially in comparison to what I was quoted by funeral homes near my son's residence.

I've been to two services at Riverview Abbey in the past, and was genuinely impressed with the…read morelevel of kindness the funeral director and the rest of the staff seem to present at all times. We often don't think about all of the meticulous details required to organize funerals and memorial services, but these folks handle everything with precision and grace. The facility is tucked away in a hidden corner of Portland on Taylor's Ferry Road, and rises out of the forrested hillside suddenly - making it very easy to miss! The building boasts a large parking lot that covers two levels, and there are accessibility features throughout the property for those in need of them. Though the mausoleaum is an expansive space filled with light, it feels quiet and intimate. I'm very impressed that a facility dating back to 1916 is able to sparkle and shine like it was built yesterday. I very much appreciate the management and staff's dedication to maintaining this important place that is special to so many families.

We dealt primarily with Tim (funeral director) who was patient, kind, and took it upon himself to educate us on the process and held our hand the entire way as we navigated our way through the logistics of it all. They take a 'family first' approach and although my Aunt was a recent immigrant to Portland -- I felt this experience really made her and us a part of the fabric of this town. A special thank you to Tim and the Riverview Abbey team for your professionalism, tact and care in helping us through all of this!
