Skyline Memorial Gardens Funeral Home

I am posting this for the family/loved ones of James Hinkle from the Marquis Vintage Suites assisted living facikity in Forest Grove, OR 97116; I am a 49 year old resident of the facility who befriended both James and Dorothy before their demises'. Just so you know....James was often `kept at the medicine desk for his own safety as he fell down too much when left alone. Anyway.....many times I would either opt to study the Bible, or sing hymns with James. We colored and put small p uzzles together as well. James was well-loved at Vintage Suites, & he was a joy to have at the Sunday ""church/Bible study-services too! (Dorothy was a kind, sweet lady who cared for James with her ALL as long as she was able to! :). more

My grandparents are both buried here, and the experience was as positive as could be. Recently, my parents purchased plots and the service was exceptional. We were informed but not pressured. The grounds are kept up beautifully and the staff is helpful. Pros: Kind, compassionate, and efficient Cons: Perhaps, expense more

My father passed in 2006 and we did not have his service there. But we had the burial there. It is a nice place to have a burial. Now my uncle had his services there and it almost seem like they rushed everything. In our culture a funeral is 3 days. But it seem like everyday they would rush everything and it got annoying! and the ladies who work there looks like they just woke up from the dies.. lol... more

I was only 21 when my father died and they took advantage of me and my lack of business experience at I time when I was stricken with greif. \r My father had purchased a double plot for himself and my mother long before he died. My parents divorced when I was young and my mother did not want to be buried with him. When I went in to arrange the burial I was told that I was in luck because the price my father had payed for the double plot was the same price as a single cost today and they would trade me straight across and I would not have to pay anything extra.\r \r My father died of cancer and when he passed he looked nothing like the man he was in life and I did not want an open casket. Other people in my family did so I consented to a viewing but told the funeral director I did not want that casket open during the service. After giving the most generic service possible, which I was guilted into and paid $500 for they opened my fathers casket. I was so upset, I could not believe that they would disrespect my wishes like that.\r \r I do not recommend these rip off artists. Stay away. If you have to use them make sure to treat it a a business transaction and try not to let emotions get in the way. Pros: Nice view Cons: Will take all the money they can from you. more
