Perhaps it's rather morbid to review a mausoleum, but while it's here, I might as well…read more I will say I wasn't here to visit a loved one though; ironically it was for work. This particular place has been used for filming in several different productions, from a court room to a-much talked about-scene in the first season of Westworld. Today it wasn't used for such a thing, but we did take over the place from late noon until sunrise the following morning. Seeing this place in daylight is amazing. While we had some downtime, I walked a few of the halls, looking at the names and years of the lives within the vaults. The oldest I saw was 1824, and I wasn't able to see all of the halls during this visit, but I'm sure there were more that were earlier than that. Fascinating in the fact how some of the names were so typical of that era. There were flowers at some of the sites as well. One hall on the second floor appeared to be all of dark wood, containing urns, hundreds of them. What was depressing-as any cemetery would have this-was the walls that contained children. Most were under the age of ten, but there were a few that simply had one year, no more. Similar to Hollywood Forever, I assume that when one is buried here, they-or more so their families-would have to be okay with filming going on around close proximity to where their loved ones lay. Understanding it may seem disrespectful to some, perhaps others from here consider it just a factor that is considered since it is in Los Angeles. As for the grounds of this place, it appeared to be fine where I was, but after reading the reviews, I hope the upkeep has been better maintained for them since their last visit. Some may be creeped out by such a place, but if you find yourself here for any reason, I hope you can set aside your fears and appreciate the beauty that was put into such an establishment.

Sadly, they don't give you all the details until your stuck with them (LACo sheriff also made us choose a place!). We told them in advance that we would have a lot of people, but they didn't take the time to clean the over flow area. I had to start moving stuff out the way to clear it. They have a dusty piano with extension cords all over the floor presenting tripping danger, I also had to push all those out of the way as best as I could. WE HAD TO BRING OUR OWN TELEVISION TO PLAY A VIDEO OF PHOTOS because the TV they have which is small is also too outdated to connect a phone or play a chip. CRAZY! I sent the lady who was helping us 5 photos of my mom so they could get a good idea of what she looked like (she's barely wearing any make up in any or none at all) and they put so much make up on her red lip stick and wing tipped eyeliner! They curled her hair up even though she never wore her hair like that. I had to TRY to fix it with hair spray and blow drier, I couldn't believe it. I'm glad it was closed casket or it would have been SO EMBARRASSING to let family and friends see her. They made her forehead round even though hers was flat with a square hairline- it even seemed like they shaped her hair line by shaving her hairs off. Her mouth was huge and sticking out because they made her lips so large. She didn't look anything like herself- she reminded me of my old neighbor Mr Montgomery!! We had to bring all our own tables to put coffee out for our family and friends. We had told them we would have a big group and had asked if we could put chairs and tables for coffee on the outside patio area and were told we could, but they didn't even take the time to sweep out there. How embarrassing! I give this place a ZERO! the nicest person here was the man who stayed until closing, I don't remember his name but he was also handsome and kind.

Disgraceful, embarrassing, and 100% garbage. Lincoln Memorial Park Cemetery has gone downhill in…read morequality when it comes to everyday maintenance. Observing gravesites overgrown with weeds and trash to the point where most of the property looks like a cornfield just goes to show you what the city of Carson management thinks of your tax dollars & deceased loved ones. The masoleum? If you are looking for a loved one's marker, expect it to be completely rusted over. No work done in terms of basic maintenance whatsoever. The only decent part of Lincoln in 2024 is that the road is devoid of potholes (for now). If it was up to me, I would exhume the several graves that contain my deceased loved ones, and bury them in my own backyard. At least their remains would be highly respected as opposed to resting in complete sh*t as opposed to peace. City of Carson management, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves for neglecting this cemetery that you have the nerve to call sacred ground. I sincerely hope that karma treats every single one of you in the appropriate manner that you deserve when either any of you or family members depart these earthly bonds. Highly recommend anyone that wants to bury a loved one here to seek somewhere else.

NEVER allowing us to see him until the funeral. The earliest they could allow service was 4 weeks out! When we saw him for service, his body was already deteriorated. Barely a nose, face was drawn in like he was NOT embalmed and stored properly! On the day of service at their location, Veronica tells my family an hour before our service she has a Dr appt. She LEAVES and never returns. The maintenance man is also the makeup man and he couldn't help us with Bluetooth access, passwords, etc. NOT ONE PERSON was present to assist us!!! It was a do it yourself funeral. No structure, the ppl there to mourn him had to work to ensure everything. Doors just open, casket just open the entire time. When I asked Miguel to change the music his playlist said "black funeral" The service was in afternoon and my loved one SMELLED . I told the maintenance man who dressed my grandfather at 10am and didn't keep him cool. He was still in chapel at 7pm despite me complaining. He basically explained after we leave he will put him up...I'm concerned. The maintenance man Miguel said this was the last time we would see him, even though he was being buried the next day. TERRIBLE. He was unrecognizable, not stored or cared for. First loved one we've had to bury and it was a TERRIBLE TRAUMATIC experience. Oh and all of this cost over 12K FOR WHATTTTTT! To play in our faces with the patriarch of our family. He lived in this city for over 60 years this is. We show back up the next day for burial procession. The smell is SOOOO bad my Uncle spits up. We get to site and my family wants to see him again. Miguel says no I speak directly with cemetery they say ok. We open it, touch my grandfather and he's NOT COLD! He stayed in the chapel ALL NIGHT! This was a nightmare.

He truly treated us like family. One moment that meant so much was when Steven sat with my sister and me to view a tribute video of our favorite memories; his presence and comfort during that time were a gift. ​Steven's attention to detail was incredible. He guided me through every logistics hurdle and even helped arrange the catering for the repass. I honestly don't know how I would have managed without his help. If you are looking for a place that is family-oriented and prioritizes service and fair pricing over profit, I highly recommend Destiny Funeral Home. I know my uncle would have been so proud of his home-going service. Thank you, Steven, for everything. ​-- Jakela Baylor
