Went here with my mom and the woman who has been helping with the process of cremating my father who passed unexpectedly and suddenly has been so kind and compassionate. She explained the whole process and let us talk about some memories about my dad. The cost is very reasonable compared to everywhere else. I really appreciate you and I hope you get to see this review I'm sorry I don't remember your name at the moment.

Everyone at Oakwood Hill was a complete pleasure to deal with. We are not local to the Tacoma area and needed a simple cremation. I really appreciated the candid discussions of what we needed and no pressure to purchase what we didn't.
