When my beloved husband passed this year, I was completely devastated and shocked by everything. It was much too soon to lose him as he died in a fatal accident. I was met with the kindest staff, who hugged me, held my hand, answered every single question I had and allowed me time with my husband. They gave me comfort, compassion and time without judgment, or impatience. They asked me about special mementos to have him cremated with and answered any and all questions I had. I visited their beautiful and well cared for chapel 3 times. Each time I was welcomed and spoken to lovingly. My cousin owned and operated a crematorium in Portland, but is retired, He came with me and asked/answered most all the questions for me. I felt blessed to have him interacting with them and helping me too. I was offered solutions to his cremation when I spoke of wanting to leave his ashes in various places, they gave me common sense and affordable solutions. I could NOT have asked for a more comforting group of people to look after my husband and I in this time of extreme grief and stress. I would highly recommend them - Far beyond the 5 star rating provided here! I am and remain grateful and at peace with the way my husband (and I) were treated with dignity and honor and compassion. I will always remember the people at this chapel for these traits. From my heart and soul, Thank you to all who made this horrific and painful journey one of peace and tranquility. Thank you!

All of the staff that I encountered at Wilson's Chapel of the Roses, were super helpful, kind and compassionate. They were all very caring. This was my first time making final arrangements for someone. He died suddenly in an accident and I was in shock. They were so helpful and caring. I would highly recommend Wilson's Chapel of the Roses.

The people at Wilson’s treated my wife with deep respect after she passed. They went the extra mile to explain procedures to me and were professional and caring. I wouldn’t ever wish a loss of a loved one, but if that event happened I would tell you these are the people to help you through those difficult times. Good caring people. Highly recommended.

When I was five years old, I had a great- mother who passed. Wilson's Chapel of the Roses is the mortuary that took care of her. The recent passing of my father-in-law was hard. Wilson's Chapel was the mortuary that took care of him. Wilson's Chapel of the Roses was so very respectful and helpful to all of us. My personal experience with Wilson's Chapel of the Roses over the last 60 years has been absolutely the best mortuary I have ever dealt with.

My Son unexpectedly passed away in April 2023. He passed away in Roseburg, Oregon. I live in Nevada. They were so kind and absolutely wonderful. They took care of everything for me and for my Son. They were very professional, and also very kind and understanding. My Husband and I drove to Roseburg to get my Sons Ashes. They made us feel so comfortable. They were amazing. I highly recommend Wilson’s Chapel of the Roses. It is such a difficult situation to have to pick up your child’s ashes. I felt some peace when I left. Thank you for your compassion.

The staff here are outstanding! So very kind, comforting and helpful. Charlie was just a true joy to chat with and Heather was absolutely wonderful, helping my aunt with knowing what VA and other paperwork had to be filed after my uncle’s passing and just generally being helpful. We loved the fact that Heather is also a veteran and was able to be there through the whole process with my uncle. They are utmost professionals and I am so very grateful for their help in this time.

People make the difference in any business and it was my experience that the people at Wilson's were more than just good - they were very good. It's one thing "to find" a place to handle the cremation or burial of a loved one. It's another thing entirely to find people who actually might just give a hoot about your loved one. I found this to be true at Wilson's. Any funeral/cremation service can handle the business end of things. And, once that transaction has been completed, any business will move on to the next client. However, Wilson's was different and it was perhaps here in the "after-care" that Wilson's really showed through to me. They were instrumental in helping my widowed and very ill father discover the resources available to him through the Veteran's Administration. I mean, why would they care? They had their money for his wife's cremation - BUT THEY DID. They cared enough to help me help him discover benefits that will help this 88 year old widower not only stay in his home - but also to stay alive. Now I'm not saying this business is "perfect" as not any business is. And I've read the reviews written by folks who say they had a less than stellar experience, so I get that. The only thing I can tell you is that I didn't. Because of the kindness of people like Heather, and Charlie, my total experience was one that showed compassion from the time of the removal, through the cremation process, and on through to the after care for my family's needs. And really, isn't that all any of us want? Thank you Wilson's. You guys are the best! The Record Family.

Wilsons handled my parents when they passed away and they took care of my nephew. Recently in April they took care of my daughter when she passed away. I was overcome by the professional and comforting people that had been tasked with a job not many people would or could do on a daily basis and still make us the family feel we're leaving our loved ones in capable hands. I'd like to thank each and everyone of them personally for all their hard work. You are greatly appreciated. Thank you. God bless you all.

Wilson's Chapel of the Roses was a very organized and professional atmosphere. Rusty Miller, Funeral Director was very friendly and helpful. He explained the process of taking care of our deceased loved one. He put us at ease. We felt very relaxed and confident. My son Brad and I were very impressed with Rusty. He was professional and still could be humorous to help break the depression of death. I Ida Middleton, would and have since our experience with Rusty, recommended Wilson's Chapel of the Roses to several of my friends.

How do you give proper thanks to the folks who took such good care of a loved one, especially when the situation was as ours devastatingly unexpected, meaning also, unplanned. We found ourselves at Wilson's Chapel of the Roses sitting with Mr. Tyler Clark in shock. Somehow, his calm yet professional demeanor, was able to reach us thru that shock & t0 help us understand answers to questions we could not even pose for ourselves. All staff was kind and helpful to us, making us feel comforted in what would have otherwise seem contrary to that. If felt as tho we were wrapped in the arms of them all. I highly recommend them, as I believe you too will have a warm, positive experience with the entire group of people who will care for you with kindness, expertise and compassion. Thank you for reading.

I believe Wilson's is under new management. In any case, my experience was exactly as I would expect from a professional mortuary; they were responsive, kind and compassionate in all interactions I had with them. That includes when they picked my mother up from our home, (she passed away in January), the way she was treated at the mortuary (they braided her long hair and she looked beautiful), and in dealing with other necessary details. Their kindness was definitely a stress-reliever during a very trying time. Thank you so very much!

It's never an easy thing to loss a loved one. The team that picked up my momma, Heather & Daniel were amazing. They even played her favorite music all the way to Wilson's. The Director who took care of everything from A to Z was Rusty, a extremely pure compassionate man. He assisted me & my family with all the arrangements from Roseburg to the family in Louisiana. The process of losing a family is never easy, each person grieves differently. But through the steps of signing the paperwork, to getting the papers to the Doctor to sign ( which can take forever if it's around a Holiday or they are on vacation) , & then back to the courthouse, before I can even start what I need to do is quite a process. I wish people who write these terrible reviews knew just what it takes from beginning to end. I think Wilson's is the best place in our community to take your loved one. My momma was taken care of like the HART (Mary Hart) she really was. Huge thank you's to the entire staff. I will never choose another facility over Wilson's in the future, that's for sure!

Wilson’s Chapel of the Roses handled the arrangements for my dear mother’s cremation in April of this year. The dignity that they showed her as she was wheeled to the hearse was impeccable, including asking of her favorite music for the honor drive back to the mortuary. All further arrangements were professionally handled, including ordering the necessary death certificates and advising Social Security of her passing. The same respectful attitude was extended the following week as we collected the cremains. Tyler and Charlie are truly the kindest individuals and made this process a seamless experience. We very much appreciate all they did and the kindness shown our family.

I am the wife of a Vietnam veteran. I scheduled an honors ceremony for my husband. There were some problems with the ceremony. I can say Heather was wonderful!! She is also a veteran.

My California family member died unexpectedly at his friend's house in Oregon. Amber took excellent care of getting his earthly remains to Wilson's Chapel of the Roses in Roseburg. Working with Charles Button through email, texts and telephone calls, we settled on cremation. This process was straightforward and he executed the contract quickly and efficiently. They worked with me on the payments and helped us get an obituary put online for friends and family. The death certificates arrived promptly and the follow-up to make certain things were "good to go" was exceptional. This is a top shelf operation that I highly recommend.

Not one time did I feel pressured for the fees, money was never asked. They believed in me when I told them what I needed to pay for their services. I will never forget their compassion. Thank you, you made this horrible experience easier to be able to bring my Uncle home. Tyler, Charlie, Heather are very caring and showed compassion.

Korrie Baker and Heather are the absolute best. Losing my husband has been so difficult and overwhelming and these two ladies have had my back in every way possible that I've needed. From giving words of encouragement to just listening to me vent with abundant tears and frustration. No matter the questions they've always been so supportive. Unfortunately 2 months prior to my husband's passing Wilson's took care of my mother- in- law. When Heather come to the house to get mom she wanted to know her favorite music because they like to play that on their way back to chapel in honor of her. She loved the show "Mash" so they played the theme song all the way for her. If you want your loved ones honored and cared for in the best experience use chapel of roses. I can't praise them enough.

I can not say enough great things about the service myself and my family have received when my mom passed in December. Then this last weekend I had the pleasure of working with Lea. She is absolutely amazing! My Aunt passed away in 2016 and Lea helped me track her down, she picked her up and brought her back to the funeral home and even came in on a Saturday to meet with me so I could pick up my Aunt's remains. I will be forever grateful for all of her help and kindness in the process of finally getting to put the person I was closest to to rest.
