Picking up My husband from the house was quick and professional other than the person trying to get me to figure out what date I wanted the funeral right then also As far as the viewings in and funeral, Everything was handled perfectly. There was a lot of flowers to handle plus, casket coming into the cemetery in a horse drawn wagon, and The 21 gun salute. My husband looked amazing in the casket as Berg Mortuary had done a wonderful job on him. My brother who died a week later who didnt even look like himself after his make-over by a mortuary in Layton.

Debbie, Jared, and Tiffany were all wonderful to work with after my fathers passing. They were not pushy and planned the viewing and memorial service with our family. They referred us to someone for the headstone, as well. We were comforted by the care and support we received from posting the obituary, making the program, down to the flowers and the music. They were all great to work with on this solemn occasion.

I haven't been here myself, but my buddy said people are just dying to get in here

Google Reviewer

Very peaceful. My friend is rested here and I love to visit him.

My concern is not really with the cemetery, but be advised, some people behave like its a city park. While meeting family and quietly visiting is to be expected, we were horrified by the behavior of a group there. They brought blankets, chairs.picnic lunches, beach umbrellas etc. While its fun, I guess, to pretend your decreased loved one is enjoying the festivities, I guarantee they will care every bit as much at an appropriate location. These citifies were practically on top of my fathers headstone and fully on top of his grave. We were trying to arrange flowers while dodging footballs and soccer balls. The cemetery is a solemn and sacred place we go to to honor our loved ones. They ruined iit for us and many others. it was totally disrespectful and inappropriate. As we were leaving, we watched them laugh as the kids presented them with rowers the removed from graves, including my dads. Additionally we saw many people walking dogs, something they should have known was against t

My mother purchased her funeral through Sundeberg Olpin almost 10 years ago. The staff was fantastic and everything went so smoothly with her funeral and transporting her body out of state. The Morticians did a wonderful job with our mom. She looked so peaceful and beautiful. We are so greatful for their care of our wonderful mother. In addition, they met with us afterwards to help us sort through all of the other parts of settling her estate. They were so helpful and knowledgeable. We could not recommend them any higher!

This was the first time for all of us to put together a funeral for my father-in-law. We were all very emotional and sad. The employees at Sundberg Olpin were professional, kind, thoughtful, and so helpful through the whole process. We can't thank them enough for their service to our family at a difficult time.
