I made an appointment online with the city view Funeral Home. Wanted to chat with a director to get…read moresome ideas of what's available what's involved in planning for my husband and myself. Gary, who I spoke with was very cordial and to the point. Mostly about numbers cost, etc. My focus was the whole experience/planning and what's involved what's offered and yes, what the costs were. Gary was very helpful and gave me a planning pamphlet to review. Their costs involved seem reasonable, but I'm just getting started on this topic of preplanning for my husband and myself. The business is right in Salem off of Commercial near the graveyard.

I usually don't write reviews, but I must write this one. My mother died last year and I am still…read morewaiting for the date of her death to be etched on her tombstone. I stopped in the office and they said they would get it done by memorial day and still nothing. It is now August. It was something we paid for upfront and still we must wait. Also, when my mother was alive, we put some items on my father's grave shortly before Christmas and when we went back the items were gone. My mother felt that we couldn't have anything on my father's grave. One of the items was a potted mini Christmas tree. It wasn't like they needed to mow the lawn in December. I just told her we would just have to set up a memorial in our own back yard. They take the items off the graves and pile them in a huge clump in back of the Mausoleum. They also left off the temporary wooden cover and I assume they planned to come back with more soil. There was about a 6" hole that was letting the rain get into the grave. I put the wooden cover back on to prevent more water getting in. I talked to the guy in the office and he said he would talk to the people who takes care of that. He said it was normal for water to get in. I felt that was insensitive since we just buried my mother. That is all I need is the image of her floating around in her casket. They are not very good with the details.

I stumbled across Oregon Aquamation while looking for options for cremation for my beloved doggie…read morecompanion of 15 years. Fortunately the lack of reviews on this app didn't stop me from contacting them after learning the difference between standard cremation and Aquamation. Not only is this a less violent process it's a much better process for the environment without ANY drawbacks that I could identify. Joey the owner was truly empathetic to my situation as I spoke to him from the parking lot of Dove Lewis Pet hospital moments after I picked up my baby girl. He offered to pick Dini up from my house (and would have come to Dove Lewis if I had asked him to!) Without any additional charge! The "least expensive" cremation option given to me by Dove Lewis charges an outrageous fee of $200+ to pick up your pet! And they do traditional fire cremation. Joey met me at my house and took great care placing Dini in his van, assuring me that she would be treated with the dignity she and I deserved. Only 5 days later he let me know she was ready to come home. On Christmas Eve he delivered her ashes to me. The total cost for her individual (vs. group) Aquamation including pickup and delivery was $219! Much less than any other option I found and done with the greatest compassion and professionalism. I can't recommend them more highly! It was the bright spot in an otherwise terribly painful experience. Please do yourself and your pet a favor and contact them for any information you need to make your decision. I promise you won't regret it!

It has been 6 months since Joey and his team at Oregon Aquamation helped us with the transition of…read moreour precious kitty, Lilly. We had 17 amazing years with her and she went at home peacefully. But this made finding someone to take care of her remains difficult. Most cremation services only picked up from veterinary offices. The ones that did private care were outrageously expensive...nearing $1000 including transport. They were mostly unhelpful or outright unkind. Then I took a chance and opened the google listing for Oregon Aquamatoon. The owner himself, Joey, answered. He was kind and patient. They were so affordable by comparison and would come to our home to take Lilly. They tagged her with a metal tag that stayed with her. They put her beautiful, pure white sand remains in a lovely bamboo box with her pawprint laser etched with her name. They also gave us beautiful clippings of her fur sealed in a glass bottle. They dropped her back with us at a time that worked with my work schedule so she wouldn't be left alone. They donated her blanket to a cat rescue. I cant say enough about this company. They are heavensent. We miss our girl so much but her transition and final rest were so peaceful.
