Today is a year since my son in law passed away and we used Community Funeral Services .I am giving…read morethem a 2 star because we chose them , they sold it well. To start the elder lady we dealt with made it sound like she would take care of everything .. but honestly she forgot everything , I had to call her to get updates on what was going on and she never knew she always had to call us back , we talked many times and every time we talked she act like she didn't know us and she had to look for his file and would get back to us! I had to do the foot work , I had to finally find the place to have his services . It was during covid so it was hard to find a place that was big enough to have so many people . So I found a place that would have it outside but that's what I paid them to do ! This is just part of it . Than she tells us we have to pay extra for them to fix him up , it's like playing dress up with your dolls were her exact words , because they might have to do extra to fix him up if it's bad .. we paid extra and we just got a basic report from coroners NOT a full autopsy and they NEVER refunded us for that LIKE THEY SAID !! So prior to the day of the funeral , I told the lady I if there would be a tv I can play a video on and table for flowers and pedestal for his big picture . we get there it's under a tent in the parking lot which she told me it would be outside under a tent because of covid but not in a parking lot !The funeral director guy is there that I never met before and he act like it was his first day on the job ! There was no tv for our video there was no music, there was no pedestal . I was livid , and my daughter is a wreck ! We had the services at white memorial in uptown Whittier but they have nothing to do with it , we went through this unprofessional company that rents out these places so it's up to this Community funerals to make sure everything is done !Has nothing to do with the place which if I would have known better I would have went through white memorial myself and not used a 3rd party ! Ok so he brought out a pedestal and than I ask him where are the flowers , 3 people from the funeral came to me and said there flowers weren't there so he disappeared again looking for the flowers and they were delivered with the funeral that was before ours !! Unheard of ! So they delivered them after the funeral to us at my brothers house where we had the reception ! So because the funeral guy is running around nobody directed the funeral l! The pastor came out to talk and sang, he was great , thank God for him ! But nobody said when it was time for people to come up and view , I had to find the guy to tell people to come up and view him . It was sooo unprofessional and so embarrassing! Now back to the prayer cards I paid for ! Well the funeral service guy forgot them !So by the time they got there the funeral was over and people had already left . ThanknGod we had made prayer cards from another company also with his picture on it . I have never ever ever heard of this happening , this day should have been without stress of the arrangements considering g we were already going through hell , my daughter lost her husband , her best friend , my grand daughter lost her dad , an amazing man that stepped up to be her dad and he deserved sooo much more than this !! We never even got an apology until I emailed the owner man which I never even met through the whole process ! But I did email him after a couple of months because after the funeral it was hectic I moved my daughter and grand daughter back in with me . My only regret besides using this place was not writing a review so others can know what we went through , I know things happen and I am first to let things go but not this many mistakes and not on such an important day . I made sure my daughter didn't have to worry about all this but I didn't even get to grieve my son In law in this day because I was too busy chasing around the funeral director guy . Today is a year he passed and I won't let another day go by without writing my review.

I felt so comfortable knowing Harold would be there with us every step of the way . The time of passing came I called Harold and he said when you are ready to release her from our home call me back and we will come . They came two young men in suits . As they entered my room they asked by her name, if they should cover her face as they took her out of my room, or just cover her like she was sleeping ! I was so amazed at the thoughtfulness of their question. She was gently and quietly removed from my room . She was placed in the van .

Wow so many bad reviews and now I know why. My father was buried in March of 2026. I have spoke…read moreto this place 5 times since and was assured his marker was complete, they promised to send me photos, but to date I have nothing. I live out of state and I am sure this is not a unusual request to have the grave marker complete. It was paid for, and to receive photos to prove this, or that my father was placed where he was supposed to be. Really makes me wonder what happened from the start with my father's remains. If I don't get a response soon, I will be contacting The California Department of Consumer Affairs, Cemetery and Funeral Bureau. More: I have called TODAY again, and just like the 5 previous times since my father's burial, I am told I would get an email with proof of the marker's update and that this interim manager would call me. Just like the 5 previous requests, I still have nothing. You people know who I am. Stop placing all of the responsibility for your business on the backs of customers, or family members. I should not have to make so many contacts as this makes "me" your manager. Update: Since no one called me back, and I still have been provided no proof of work compete by this place, I called AGAIN, and the "interim manager" Dawna, was "in and out" and unable to account to me details of my father's burial and "Crystal" hung up on me three times rather than "listen" to a distraught relative make a simple request about her dead father. It is clear that when this place has their money they are completely unconcerned about the relatives of people buried there. Regretfully, I have three. This level of unprofessionalism is deplorable. If you are thinking of using this place to care for your loved ones, you should rethink that.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with White Emerson Mortuary during one of the…read moremost difficult times for our family. Jason, who helped us throughout the process, was incredibly patient, kind, warm, understanding, and accommodating. He made us feel genuinely cared for without ever being pushy or making us feel pressured to add anything to the service. He listened to what our family wanted, respected our wishes, and made an overwhelming process feel so much easier to navigate. The mortuary itself is beautiful and has such an intimate, peaceful atmosphere. One thing I especially appreciated was that when you are holding a service, it truly feels like the space belongs to your family. There aren't other services happening at the same time, so you aren't crossing paths with strangers or other grieving families. Having that privacy made such a difference and allowed us to focus completely on honoring my dad. What meant the most to me was how respectful Jason and the staff were of our family's Chinese-Cambodian Buddhist traditions. They welcomed our monks and accommodated our religious and cultural requests without hesitation. They turned off the illuminated Christian glass during our service so the space could better reflect our family's beliefs and traditions. They also allowed our family to walk through the mortuary with my dad as part of our final procession with him, which was incredibly meaningful to us. They even allowed us to bring in our own joss paper burner for our ceremonial offerings. Because it was still far too hot to safely transport after the ceremony, they graciously kept it there for us until we returned to pick up my dad's ashes. That may seem like a small detail to someone unfamiliar with our traditions, but to our family, their willingness to accommodate something so culturally important meant so much. There are so many decisions to make when you're grieving, and the last thing you need is to feel rushed, pressured, or as though your family's traditions are an inconvenience. We never felt that way here. We felt cared for, understood, and respected. Jason and the team at White Emerson gave our family the space and flexibility to honor my dad in a way that felt true to him, to our family, and to our culture. During such a painful time in our lives, they made everything as easy and seamless as they possibly could. I will always be grateful for the kindness and compassion they showed my dad and our entire family. I would wholeheartedly recommend White Emerson to any family looking for a beautiful, intimate, respectful, and genuinely caring place to honor their loved one.

I've been interested in the funeral business since 2018 and have reached out to places on and off just hoping to learn more. I wasn't even asking for a job, just insight, but no one ever took the time to respond. Ryan did. He spent nearly two hours of his day talking with me, while still managing his work, answering all of my questions about the industry, his role, and what it's really like to be in this field. He even shared ways I could get started at an entry-level position, which was incredibly helpful and thoughtful. It's rare to meet someone so knowledgeable and generous with their time, especially when they're not getting anything in return. Ryan is sincere, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about what he does. I only wish I had known about him when my own family needed services. Ryan Preston is truly exceptional, and I'm very grateful he took the time to speak with me.

The night my mother passed a morgue had to come pick up my moms body so we called and her and she sent one male ! After all the paper work was done he asked MY FATHER and two of MY FRIENDS TO HELP HIM CARRY MY MOMS BODY OUT THE HOUSE ! This was already hard to deal with and she emotionally fucked up my Family and I . The whole time she had a issue getting my moms death certificate signed so it delayed when we got my moms remains . Throughout my moms whole service she never to be found when I needed her she left it up to my dad to fix HER set up so we can watch my Moms slide show! (Witch by the way never worked and my family missed everything ! When I was saying my last goodbyes to my mother she kept pulling everything around my mom away she was rushing me ! So after finally waiting for what felt like forever we got her Remains! We set everything up nice and pretty for my mother , only to find out two days later she TEXTS me instead of calling me like a "professional" that she needs to pick up the remains here at my house because there was a mix up and this whole time my mom was never there !!!! Mind you when we picked up these so called remains we thought were my moms she let us witness her put the necklace my dad got her in my moms ashes ! When she brought me back the new remains , I had to ask her to make sure about the necklace and make sure she put it in my moms remains , she told me it wasn't in the ashes and that she had checked over three times . So she was never going to mention the necklace being lost . So we had a huge argument here in the front of my house because she said she wasn't responsible. Berenice you are the owner you are responsible for everything that happens under your care ! So I told her I was gonna take legal action and see her in count ! I also new not to trust you ! Everyone told me about you but I still gave you the benefit of the doubt from the start , because that's my mom fucken mom! And it's funny how a hours later you were able to find my moms necklace back under your care !

From beginning to end, I didnt feel the staff was genuine, I get they deal with people coming to them on a daily basis, but the gentleman who helped did not show any empathy felt more rude then anything. Several things had happened in between months , theres a lady that comes thru and walks thru wondering if shes taking stuff from the markers, ive reported it, and we still see her, a lady who was visiting someone near us was seen going into the bush to pee or whatever she did, people bring pets like its a park, and they poop its disgusting especially if people are bringing them and not picking up after them, believe me weve told these people before and they didnt care, now going on about 6+months we dont have access to restrooms. As much as we spend to have our loved ones in ur memorial park , you can do better. This is my life now, here almost every other day if not every weekend! Make sure you ask questions, and if this is the right place for your loved one, unfortunately I feel like I chose the wrong place. Good luck

I had previously left a negative review regarding a similar issue, but I removed it because I…read moregenuinely believed things had improved. Unfortunately, this recent experience has shown me that they have not. These people treat the belongings of our loved ones as if they were trash. Why not leave a note? Why not show a little compassion? Why be so insensitive when families are already grieving? It is heartbreaking that while we are mourning, they make an already painful situation even worse. It is deeply disappointing to witness such a lack of empathy and consideration in a place that should offer dignity, respect, and peace. Loma Vista could be the perfect place for our loved ones to rest, but experiences like this undermine that sense of trust and care. Additionally, there has been a noticeable decline in routine maintenance. Although pickup days are scheduled, there have been multiple occasions when items were not collected as indicated, leaving families to address the situation themselves. If you are considering this location, I encourage you to evaluate your options carefully. During difficult times, families deserve compassion, communication, and respect--not added stress, frustration, and disappointment.

Losing a loved one is an incredibly heavy burden, but the team at McAulay & Wallace Mortuary…read moreprovided a level of care that truly lifted the weight from our shoulders while we grieved. From start to finish, they were exceptionally easy to work with, highly professional, and outstanding communicators. When my father passed away in the Philippines, we were overwhelmed by the logistics of bringing him home. Elizabeth (Liz) Roberts stepped in and handled everything seamlessly. She meticulously coordinated with the Philippine agencies, managing every step of the complex international repatriation process until his body safely arrived back in the US. Beyond navigating the legal and international logistics, Elizabeth went entirely above and beyond for our family. She personally ensured that all funeral services and masses were flawlessly arranged, proactively communicating with our parish, the deacons, and the priest so we didn't have to worry about a thing. Above all, Elizabeth is deeply compassionate and sensitive to the family's wishes. She listened to exactly what we wanted and treated our father with the utmost dignity and respect.
