Terrific spot for a first date!

This funeral home is the best. Rebecca was amazing and was helpful planning the funeral in every possible way. My mom looked wonderful, the funeral folder was beautiful and the funeral event went perfectly!

My grandmother's service was held here today and from start to finish the staff was very respectful and accommodating. They have a elevator so those who are handicapped can get upstairs to the reception area.

Grandfather had things all prepaid so they should have known to speak with his grand daughters but didn't. It was so shotty compared to grandmas I was shocked. The guy doing yule made a really bad joke about how lucky person who got his truck was. This was a tender spot between me sister and I so it was like a slap in her face. They asked if anyone wanted to come up. I did want to but needed to compose self first and Wasnt given the time b4 they just rushed us out. I felt robbed of a very important moment to say goodbye

On behalf of the family of Gracie Gage, we would like to thank and commend The Mt. Scott Funeral Home for your services. We especially would like to thank, The Director, Rebecca Tjaarda, for providing us with such kind and compassionate, yet professional care. This is the second time that our family has chosen Mt. Scott, in particular Rebecca Tjaarda to facilitate the final services of one of our family members. In December 2013, Mt. Scott took care of our mother, Gracie Knapper and most recently our sister, Gracie Gage, both of whom, we feel, were provided with the most sensitive and caring service possible. As a family, we found Rebecca to provide us with the utmost care and sensitivity, as she walked us through the emotional task of putting our loved ones away. In both cases, Rebecca was there shortly after each passed. Rebecca made sure that our family understood everything that would take place. In both cases, other family members mentioned how they appreciated that Rebecca remained with us until the final closing of the funeral process. As funerals take such an emotional toll on any family, it was good to know that we were in the hands of such a caring and thorough provider of funeral services. Again, we thank you and will no doubt call upon you again in the future. Johnnie A. Gage

I used Mt. Scott for both my mother and sister. During these extremely difficult times, Mt. Scott was very accommodating, caring and professional. Both services were handled by one of the funeral directors, Rebecca Tjarrda, who from the beginning was courteous, respectful and comforting to our entire family. The entire staff is also very kind and helpful. I really appreciated their help and compassion.

In December of 2013, when I lived with my parents, my step father passed away unexpectedly less than a week before Christmas. I was on my way home from a bar when I got a call from a paramedic with AMR that my stepdad was found at the bottom of our basement stairs, and my mother couldn't talk. While the police and medical examiner were at my place, I had very little time to decide which funeral home would take care of him, as they decided it wasn't necessary for him to be autopsied. I worked for a business that provided services to many funeral homes in the area, so I felt comfortable using inside knowledge when chosing Mt Scott to handle the arrangements. Keith, my funeral director, was very kind, and so was Andrea. As people were happy and buying Christmas presents a few days before the holiday, I was standing in line at customer service counters returning presents to stores, in order to make sure rent was covered for my mom, plus living expenses (that's a very low feeling and additional heart break) Never once did I feel like any the staff at Mt Scott were about the money, and very accommodating, helping me feel a tad human. We chose cremation, followed by a memorial service at the funeral home, as our home was a bit small to accommodate the number of people planning to attend. My mom hates funeral homes, but their chapel was beautiful and very home like feeling, helping her feel at ease. Keith recorded a copy of the funeral onto DVD for us, though I have yet to watch it. It was greatly appreciated, and the kindness extended to us made a dark time in our lives just a little easier to navigate.

Dennis with Mt. Scott Funeral Home was so incredibly helpful, kind, compassionate, and thorough in helping us through what seemed to be the impossible. We had just lost my granddaughter unexpectedly, and he was so wonderful in walking us through the grief to determine next steps and get through a truly difficult time. We had never buried a child before and felt overwhelmed and unsure of what we needed to do. Dennis helped us make a checklist so that we could accomplish everything they needed us to do, as well as knowing what we had to do over at Lincoln Memorial where she would be buried. He was super respectful. He even took the time to wrap the baby and bring her to a room so that I could see her (it was necessary for the Service to be closed casket, but I lived out of State, so this was my only chance to see my newborn grandchild that died unexpectedly at birth). Going that extra mile meant so much to me. We were able to navigate through the tears and sadness, pick out a casket that Jade could be buried in (without needing an additional vault), and receive the help we needed with putting together the Graveside Service and the programs. I designed the inside and back of the programs, and sent them as individual jpgs, and Andrea was kind enough to place them properly so they would print out. They turned out beautifully. We delivered a handmade dress, hat, tights, booties and a blanket and pillow for her to be buried with, along with a note to go inside her little casket. While we never saw her in it, I am sure they provided great care in dressing her tiny little body and placing her little head to rest on the soft satin pillow. On the day of the Service, Andrea arrived with baby Jade, set up the podium and guest book, along with the casket stand. She was helpful in directing the pallbearers and was very kind. We appreciated not only the compassion and helpfulness that was shown during this very unexpected time of grief, but also that Mt. Scott Funeral Home provides all of their services at their Cost for babies that die at birth, which really helped to $ave us money, and that was so helpful. This included all expenses -- the casket as well. What a kind and tremendous difference this made. We highly recommend Mt. Scott Funeral Home and are very, very grateful to Dennis and Andrea! We also respectfully and highly recommend Lincoln Memorial Park as a cemetery (with stunning views, no less), and Affordable Family Markers for the most cost effective and beautiful Family Markers. Please see related reviews for both companies. We are thankful for them all!

Mt. Scott Funeral home helped me take care of both of my parents. The staff was so caring and helpful. They have also helped me put together my own funeral arrangement for the future. Neither of my parents had made any arrangements for their own funerals and it was hard to make decisions during such a sad time. With my arrangements being taking care of, my children will not have that to deal with, thus providing me with piece of mind. Lisa W.
