Emmerson-Bartlett Memorial Chapel

To make a long story short, Christian took us under his wing after another local funeral home dropped the ball and left us hanging. Already wounded and confused by a sudden, devastating death, it felt so comforting when we landed at the memorial chapel in Yucaipa. We were so angry with the funeral home we had just left, so scattered and raw with emotion; Christian took over and guided us forward in putting on a beautiful memorial service in just a few days. He took care of details we would never have thought of and wouldn’t have expected him to know about in our, we thought, unique situation. He coordinated with my son’s Command and Riverside National Cemetary, taking as much as he possibly could off our shoulders. Not once did he speak a bad word about the place that had let us down, which I think speaks volumes about his professionalism and character. Now, after a few months to think about all that happened, I cannot speak highly enough about how much comfort and support were given to my family by Christian and all the folks who work for him. We chose the Redlands location as it seemed a little bigger but both chapels are beautiful and serene. Using only word-​of-​mouth and social media (there was no time for newspaper publication), we filled the Redlands Chapel on Brookside to standing room only. Christian and his staff are expert with social media and audio-​visual displays, all the while keeping to the age-​old traditions that are so important. For many, many reasons, I sincerely recommend Emmerson-​Bartlett Memorial Chapel.
