The flower vase was still missing, weeds overgrown on the headstone, only dirt to be found. We walked to visit my Grandparents gravesite and we had to wipe all the headstones off to view the names.

When my Aunt chose Lawncrest when my Uncle passed she was lead to believe Lawncrest was going to care for this gravesite in the most compassionate way... that's a lie and the proof us in the pictures.

My Experience with Allen & Dahl Funeral Home…read more I feel obligated to share our experience with Allen & Dahl Funeral Home because families deserve to know what they may be dealing with during an already heartbreaking time. We recently had my father's cremation handled through Allen & Dahl, and unfortunately, our experience was horrible from beginning to end. We were initially charged $1,800 more than what we should have been charged, which we had to address ourselves. Communication was also extremely poor. We were never contacted when my father's remains were ready to be picked up. We had to find out and make the effort to contact them ourselves. What was perhaps the most upsetting part was the complete lack of compassion and empathy shown to our family. We had just lost our father, and at no point did we feel like we were being treated with the care or understanding you would expect from a funeral home. I also explained from the beginning that I work out of town during the week and that I could only pick up my father's remains on the weekend. I was told I would need to make an appointment. When the time came to make that appointment, the response was essentially, "Good luck. You can call and see if anyone is here." This is someone's father. Someone's grandfather. Someone's loved one. Families should not have to chase down a funeral home for answers, worry about unexpected charges, or feel like an inconvenience when trying to bring their loved one home. Losing my dad has been one of the hardest experiences of my life. The last thing our family needed was additional stress and frustration from the people we trusted to help us through this process. I would not recommend Allen & Dahl based on our experience, and I sincerely hope other families receive the compassion, communication, honesty, and respect that we did not.

We sat down with Jen and went through the types of services that were offered. My brother was cremated and then laid to rest in the eye go veterans cemetery in I go California. The arrangements have included a processional, an honor guard, a 21 gun salute, A ceremonial flag, and my brothers ashes in a rosewood box. I had not received confirmation on the processional, the honor guard, or the 21 gun salute but proceeded to attend the service in Anderson California: which is 7 1/2 hour drive from my home in Washington. My two sisters and my brother along with their families friends and acquaintances all arrived to the chapel at the 2 o'clock time frame. Upon arrival we were quickly ushered to our seats and told to hurry up and get the stuff set out because people were waiting. The honor guard was standing at attention(As they should) and I was in the midst of setting out my brothers flowers when we were told we had to get started so we left things incomplete and sat in our designated areas waiting for the flag to be folded and presented. It was at this time I realized that the 21 gun salute had not been provided. My family was deeply saddened as they were looking forward to celebrating my brothers life and his final resting place with a 21 gun salute. Many thanks to our escorts for my brothers remains to the veterans cemetery even though we ran one hour late, and many thanks to the honor guard even though we did not receive the 21 gun salute, many thanks to I go services personnel for explaining step by step the process of the services. I have contacted Allen&Dahl and spoke with Jen who is trying to work out some thing. We're hoping in the event that my Brothers headstone is placed, there might be a 21 gun salute at his graveside to acknowledge his service. This was an unfortunate turn of events.

Not only are they one of the most economical in terms of cost, but interacting with the whole staff from start to finish was a real pleasure.

Heather did an absolutely fantastic job guiding me through a difficult process and anyone else I worked with (Garrett, for example) were also friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Obviously no one wants to be in a situation where they need a place like Blair's, but if you find yourself there, they are definitely the ones to go to in Redding and/or Shasta County.

If you're looking for compassion during the loss of a loved one, do not choose Adams…read more After my grandmother passed away, my grieving mother handled everything over the phone. Instead of being met with professionalism or even basic empathy, the owner decided to accuse my mother of being "rude to the staff." Imagine calling a grieving daughter to scold her while she's trying to arrange cremation services. Completely unnecessary, inappropriate, and honestly disgusting behavior for someone in this line of work. The owner was cold, passive-aggressive, defensive, and seemed more focused on being offended than being helpful. This business does not treat grieving families with care -- they treat them like an inconvenience. To make it even worse, my grandmother's remains were returned to us in a plain box, not an urn. No dignity, no sensitivity, no effort -- just a box. And if you think this is a one-time issue, take one look at the owner's responses to Yelp reviews. She consistently responds to honest feedback by personally attacking customers instead of taking accountability. She has absolutely no right to insult or make assumptions about people she doesn't even know. She has no idea who we are, what our family dynamic is, what our grieving process looked like, or what we were dealing with -- yet she speaks as if she does. That alone tells you everything you need to know about her professionalism. If you can't handle death services with compassion, maturity, and respect, you are in the wrong profession. I genuinely hope more families speak up and report this business, because no one deserves to be treated this way while mourning a loved one. Save yourself the stress and choose literally anywhere else.
