Harry A Nauman & Son

Received the utmost in respect during a trying time: My family found itself, unfortunately, in need of services from a mortuary/​funeral home and Harry A. Nauman & Sons on Freeport Boulevard in Sacramento exceeded all expectations. Official/​coroner deeds completed, we were told to arrange for removal of our loved one from the site of his demise. Nauman’s representative, Slavik Navrotskiy, totally understood our shock and was very kind in words and deeds. His arrangements were swift and thorough, with a team arriving within an hour to respectfully take our brother to the mortuary. At all times, the Nauman staff treated us with kindness and understanding of our grief. In making arrangement for services, all prices, legal processes and notifications were fully explained. A full array of services and memorial items were offered. Even after our contract had been entered into, Nauman accommodated our need to revise down in our selected service level. Pricing at this funeral home is done in «packages» and a discount is offered when those grouped services are selected. We appreciated that Nauman made adjustments for our budget.
All services performed by Nauman were dignified and flawlessly performed. The facility is tasteful and very well appointed and maintained. A staff member was available to us at all times and granted every request we made. Mr. Navrotskiy graciously handled all paperwork and arrangements, including clergy. Even though some questions were asked of him multiple times, he was generous with his time, information and kindnesses.
The death of a family member is sad and stressful. We appreciated the kindnesses of Nauman & Sons so much that praise of their services is deserved even now in our period of grieving.

I just attended my Grandfathers funeral here, and they did a phenomenal job. The staff was courteous and professional. The procession was outstanding and how the guests were treated was top notch. The small details, to name a few, the eulogy pamphlets, closing the casket rituals, and flowers to throw at the burial were carefully taken care of. My Grandparents are old school Chinese, so my Grandma wanted to incorporate certain Chinese traditions in the funeral. The staff completely understood and were very familiar with traditional Chinese funerals. My Grandmother, Uncle and Mother concurred that the Nauman staff were very helpful, responsive, culturally considerate and professional.

Don’t use this funeral home unless you’re ready to be harassed with marketing while you are grieving for your loved one. I’ve been contacted several times by a «grief counselor» named Alicia since losing my mother. Under the guise of sending me a memory book about my mom, she bombarded me with marketing materials that I did not request. What a heartless and tacky way to do business. Money is more important to these people than respecting the memory of the dearly departed.

My mother passed away earlier this month and I wanted to hold a memorial service for her. The original funeral home I wanted was booked, so they recommended Harry Nauman, another home affiliated with the Dignity chain.
The service costs were reasonable and the services provided exceeded all of my expectations. Craig Forrey, the funeral director, was professional, low-​key, and thorough. We hashed out the details, and they let us know what information they needed, so we sent them photos etc.
Their facility is top notch. They have a memorial chamber for the service that seats approximately 200 people and is wired for speaking and multimedia presentations. They passed at programs at the door and directed attendees to this room before the service.
Afterwards, they had all of our items organized in a bag: the music CD (I made it but they have music too), two copies of a slideshow they put together with photos we provided, thank you notes, the sign-​in books and more.
I highly recommend this funeral home especially if you are in South Sacramento. This home is directly across from William Land Park. Even if you are not in the south part of the city, it is not a long distance to drive in Sacramento (we were coming from near mid-​town and it took less than 15 minutes to get there driving on city streets.
