The Smith family is a very caring family to the many people that they help through trouble times.
Honest, Humble and Hardworking. You can't do any better.
Dear Kevin & Staff - thank you very much for taking care of our family's needs during the cremation services of my mom. We thank you for keeping everything within our wishes, simplicity and genuine compassion. Everyone was thoroughly professional, understanding and very friendly.
This company helped us through a difficult time after my mother in law passed away. They were so kind and helpful and they knew exactly how to advise and support us.
Compared to a few places I spoke with prior, this place gave me a warm and sympathetic tone when speaking with them. Sam was a joy to work with and was great at serving as a resource and answering all the many questions we had. I also appreciated the time and patience he took to breakdown everything related to funeral planning given I went in pretty clueless about the entire process. I highly recommend them!
The arrangements and the cooperation by the staff right from the start till the end was exceptionally good.
I appreciated the attention to detail and kindness everyone showed. I specifically worked with Michelle Tokarski to complete the cremation and obtain death certificates. Michelle was kind and kept me up to date with the progress of each procedure throughout the way. I was never left wondering when the next step would be. I am so thankful for the help from her and the rest of the team at this facility.
The service's I've been to for friends and loved ones have been very well handled. The facilities are very good.
Kevin, Dan, and the entire staff at Berge-Pappas-Smith took great care of my mom who recently passed away. They were very professional and courteous - my family could have asked for a better place to take care of my mom! I plan to recommend Berge-Pappas-Smith to anyone dealing with the loss of a family member or loved one.
The staff and the facility was nothing short of professional and meaningful. We are glad they are part of our mourning.
They were extremely attentive and accommodating, they made sure we had everything we needed to have a good service. They were knowledgeable about other burial services. They had enough staff on hand, place was clean, and they are affordable. Highly recommend.
The overall experience was excellent and smooth transitions from the owner Kevin Smith to staffers; Becky Cummins, Sam Smith, Fabian and Ariel were absolutely going above and beyond their duties to guide and provided our family needs during the difficult time. The staffs ensured to support us all the details to make our family and guests as comfortable as possible. The garden hall just well maintained and peacefulness for viewing service.
Extremely courteous and professional. We had a service for our Grandfather that was completed through Berge-Pappas-Smiths’ guidance and our family was very well cared for. I’m grateful for the conversations that took place to coordinate our services - they were thoughtful, direct and easy to work with. They made a difference for our family during a strenuous time and especially helped with our vendor management and arrangements. Thanks for your services and care.
Keene Family;
I am sorry for your loss. Howard was a great person and friend to me for the last 28 years and he will be sadly missed.
So sorry to hear of Howard’s passing we did business for years and I always found him such a pleasure to talk to he will be missed
I’m so sorry to hear that howard past a way I liked bowling with him when I reed this I have tears in my eyes now he is not softening anymore now he is in heaven with god and Jesus and he is bowling up there too
Mike, Jeff and Curt ~ Distance and time have removed the close ties our families once had when you were very young. I was stunned as I looked for Dee’s information to surprise her with a call for her 60th birthday to find she preceded your dad but now your dad is gone, too. I have many good memories of being at your house in Fremont when we were all children. And, of a particular weekend when our families unknowingly crossed paths when we headed to Fremont to visit you and you went to Woodland to visit us. Once we moved to Fremont, visits were easier. I trust your good memories will ease the pain of this most recent loss.
I was so very, very, very sorry to hear of your passing. Rick and I both saw you driving about a month back, we both thought of how we need to stop and say hi & give you some “jerky”. I was so incredibly saddened today to hear that you are gone. I am happy for you because now you are with your love Marianne (wish I could have met her!) in Heaven and there is no more pain (not that you ever showed it!). Rick and I are so blessed to have had the joy and honor of knowing you. Thank you for being you,,,you will always be in hearts. God bless,,,,love ya! Rick & judy Gile
(Ps…this weekend we are going to go to the cookbook you gave us and pick out a recipe & vook it in your honor!!!!)
