Washelli Funeral Home in North Seattle is where my entire family has been buried. Multiple generations and now even one more. My son passed in August 2024. Immediately we knew we were using Washelli. We were treated exceptionally well with compassion and support. We had a viewing before his cremation and Shawnie (Funeral Director) was right by our sides giving literal support. She allowed us to be in the area where the furnace is, and for us to even push the button, which helped both myself and my daughter with moving forward. Once we had our cremains, Shawnie and Holly allowed my daughter and I to be there when the cremains were transferred to my son’s urn. They even allowed Beth to do the apportionment for the keepsakes. As she put it, she was able to play with her brother one last time. May sound morbid but it really helped her moving forward with Mat’s death. The placement was absolutely beautiful. We had some Items to go into The niche and Holly treated everything with respect and care. She had a little sitting area for us and had everything set out that allowed us to approve the placement design before she placed everything in the crypt. Then she gave us some space for family time but also remained nearby in case she was needed. We ended up getting in an extra trinket even, thanks to Holly. Even since the placement, they have both followed up with us to make sure we were ok and if we had any other questions or concerns. We could not have asked for a more caring business, but especially two more caring individuals than Shawnie and Holly with us through this horrible time. Something parents should never have to go through. Thank you both so, SO much. I know I’ve said it a lot and I’ll say it 100 thousand times more. You two were such a huge help for me and my family. Thank you.

Before my friend passed away, she mentioned 2 cemeteries she had family at, and after she passed I visited another cemetery- one closest to me (thinking I’d stop by more) - and the sales guy didn’t listen to me, showed me what he wanted to sell, when I said I didn’t like any of those options and asked again he acted like I was being difficult. I called Evergreen Washelli, made my appointment with my different set of circumstances (burying a friend, no timeline, budget, near family) , and Michael met with me, listened to me and my needs & concerns. He told me what to expect, showed me a lot of options and figured out a way to make everything work. He listened to me, and I am so happy with how everything turned out.

Having to plan a funeral while grieving for a loved one is the most difficult task. The team at Evergeeen Washelli Funeral Homes & cementery could not be better. The service, compassion and attention to detail truly honored my brother. The staff both Steven Heigert and Tiffany White were amazing to work with. I will never be able to thank them enough for taking me from a total bewildered state to one of a peace and comfort. In behalf of my family, We will be forever greatful.
