Bonney-Watson

To whom it may concern read this review. We walk our very well trained dog every day at the bonney watson seatac when we walk our dog «bubbles» at bonney watson seatac we are very respectful even to pick up beer cans off the ground but we either walk on the paved rodes or on the grass fields empty of Graves. never caused a mess or problem. their are no signs saying not to have pets there and we have seen many people using the «park» because they call it a park it’s even in the name, taking a jog or walking their dogs but today while walking bubbles around the park we were very aggressively confronted by a employee who told us that we were quote «being disrespectful and to leave» he was very aggressive even threatening I’m not exaggerating. Now it may have been because I am very sick and look it unfortunately but many people on the street have on occasion asked if I want drugs or assumed I do drugs because of how I look and this isn’t the only place I’ve been treated rudely or unfairly I do not Conduct my self indecent I’m very respectful everywhere I am just so you know but since I look not unlike someone who might be a drug addict I’ve lost weight and dark circles have formed around my eyes I assume that’s why this employee of bonney watson felt that he could treat me like dirt bonney watson should put signs in their entrance that warns visitors that they do not welcome pets and that if you don’t fit their bill you Can be treated this way the park was the only place close enough for me to walk since I don’t live close to another park and I can’t drive anymore these were the only good times I get and the only realistic place I could go I’d understand if it was a rule and If I had been told nicely not that bad but take it away like that series moral issues

It seems that Bonney Watson and Cameron Smock need to reconsider the way they treat their employees. Racist or not, treating an employee of 13 years badly enough that he finds it necessary to protest outside of Bonney Watson indicates they aren’t treating their workforce with respect. And if the stories that Gizachew Kassa shared in his leaflet are true, there are serious problems within that company. 206freeskool. org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/2015−02-Bonney-Watson-leaflet.pdf

I honestly cannot say enough great things about Bonney-​Watson Capitol Hill. My elderly father passed away last month after a brief hospital stay. I called Bonney-​Watson at 3:00am after I received the news and spoke to Craig, who was fantastic and very compassionate. He met me a few hours later at the hospital my dad was at.
Every step of the process with Bonney-​Watson was seamless, low-​pressure, and caring. I met with Kim the day after my dad passed to set up the preliminary arrangements for the memorial service later that week. We met again two days later once my sister arrived into town to work out all of the specifics and to see my dad.
Everything (costs, arrangements, etc.) were laid out and explained to me so well and each and every question of mine was answered. In the days prior to my dad’s memorial, Kim and I corresponded via email to sort out last-​minute arrangements. The morning of my dad’s service, another gentleman named Craig, and two other gentlemen were at the funeral home to assist us and our guests in any way they could. They were gracious and very caring.
Planning a funeral when a loved one has passed is really difficult. Not only are you grieving from your loss and communicating with friends and family all around the word, but you also have to make decisions about urns, flowers for the funeral, etc. Bonney-​Watson just made everything easier at a time when I needed the funeral-​planning process to be as simple and low-​stress as possible. Even post-​funeral when I went to pick up my father’s cremains and his death certificates, everything was presented to me in velvet bags, and with caring, dignity, and respect. I will forever be grateful, and I cannot thank Bonney-​Watson enough.

many industries become obsolete but the business of dying continues to move forward.
i have always thought it funny to find that a funeral service facility is situated in the center of a place as vibrant as Capitol Hill. a park and a community college surround this building which to me is absolutely necessary as it should b that a society embraces the possibility, the reality, of death for creating healthier lives. i like Bonney-Watson’s signage with its lovely curls and twists. i also like to think that bigger hearts are made from the ongoings of broken hearts inside. all respect

On 8 September 2012, my brother in law — Gerald «Lutz911» L. on Unilocal — and his brother died in a motorcycle accident.
Craig, the manager, and the entire staff at Bonney-​Watson were so incredibly helpful, our family cannot thank them enough. We worked with Kim — funeral director, Lucas — another funeral director and Denise — a front of house/​administrative person particularly. I recommend all of these people highly. We had a lot of delicate situations to handle, and they did so expertly and with great patience and kindness.
Everyone was excellent, but if you want a direct recommendation: Kim went above and beyond, doing things on his days off to help our family work everything out for a large service held within one week.
It’s odd to mention these things, but I will stay true to facts I try to share in reviews:

First, Bonney-​Watson is locally owned. It is a small business with 4 branches in Puget Sound, not part of a huge chain. It is one of the oldest businesses in Washington.
Second, prices here are slightly higher than other funeral homes — but our family found it worth the several hundred extra dollars for the services we received. It really is a nominal price difference in the scheme of things, and they have lots of options to personalize and adjust services to what you want.
Third, while this was my first time working with them behind the scenes, I have been to many services here… including my grandparents who are in my avatar… and they have always been done very smoothly, with great dignity. So I can now — sadly but honestly — recommend them with full confidence, knowing the professionalism they carry throughout.

I wish there was a 5 star review without such enthusiasm. Its a place i hope people don’t get to experience. But if the time comes — and you have to cross that bridge. I wouldn’t recommend any other place. We worked with Tom at the Sea-​Tac location and he was simply amazing.
The level of professionalism and respect Tom gave us was beyond imaginable. He showed utmost care and respect from start to finish. He was beyond accompanying to our every need and wish. He went above and beyond and made our most difficult time losing our mother bearable by taking care of everything that needed to be taken care of so that we could spend the last moments with her.
simply amazing. Thank you Tom and Bonney-​Watson for everything.

I dearly hope you never have to set food in this place… I did, and it was awful – through no fault of Bonney-​Watson. In fact, the kindness and realness of the people who work here made it all a little less awful. They made it as less-​awful as they could, and for that I’m very grateful.
