    Thank GOD for for Wesleigh at Anubis. She was amazing and so helpful. My sister had Neptune Society…read moreoriginally pick up our auntie's body from the hospice center. After the pickup we were told that a representative would reach out to us the following day so we could start making arrangements. They didn't call till 3 days later even after leaving them multiple messages! Imagine not knowing what's happening to your loved one or where they are located after they died. Our assigned rep only called AFTER I switched to Anubis Cremations and had arrangements for the body to be brought to their facilities. Wesleigh was so easy to work with. She picked up my call right away and took care of everything. She communicated every step of the way. I told her that my uncle who is a priest will be arriving in 2 weeks and we would like for the cremation and memorial service to happen while he was here. She mentioned that it's a very tight schedule but she would try to make it happen. And she 100% delivered!!! Within an hour of my initial call she had my auntie's body arranged for pickup, she sent paperwork to us and the doctor so she could start the process of filing the death certificate. The church where we wanted the memorial service wouldn't let us reserve a time till they had a cremation date. We were able to get the cremation date within a few days. We opted for a private open viewing at the crematory in Van Nuys. The crematory only does night time viewing which worked well for us since our family is busy working during the day. Wesleigh's coworker Jonathan took great care of us at the viewing. The place had a room for up to 15 people where family members could sit with the casket prior to the cremation. They dressed our auntie in her formal barong and jewelry. We were allowed to provide flowers, letters, and mementoes in the cardboard casket. Jonathan gave us sharpies so we could write notes on the casket. There were aslo tissues and an easel for our use. Although the viewing was technically 15 minutes, we were not rushed and were given about 20-25 minutes to do a prayer service and say our goodbyes. And then Jonathan and another employee wheeled her into the crematory. We watched them place her casket in the "oven" and once the door closed we left. They even allowed us to live stream the entire time we were there to our auntie's relatives back in the Philippines. The following day Wesleigh delivered the ashes to the church and she provided the letters and instructions we needed to bring the ashes back to the Philippines. We were also very happy with the urn we ordered from Anubis. It was engraved and had a photo of our auntie. It was perfect. I can't thank Wesleigh and Jonathan enough for providing an outstanding service that was stress-free, efficient, compassionate, and super professional during this difficult time of grief. I whole-heartedly recommend Annubis.

    Anubis was the perfect place for my mom's cremation. Her death was shocking and happened quickly so…read morewe were all feeling vulnerable and out of sorts. Not only did they make everything quick and easy, but were beyond patient, thoughtful, helpful, and caring with each interaction. We also git a couple of really beautiful urns that I think my mom would appreciate. I couldn't recommend them more.

Sonia and Jorge were absolutely wonderful. They were empathetic, understanding, and went out of their way to make the experience as smooth and supportive as possible. Their flexibility with timing and genuine care truly made a difference for our family during a sensitive time. We're grateful for their kindness and professionalism. P.S The bathrooms were very clean and fully stocked, which added to the overall comfort and ease of our visit.

Thanks to them we were able to obtain a Catholic mass & funeral services in our back yard. Our concern was also to get our mom's cremation/Urn within a two week time frame. Chavez Funeral &Cremation delivered reliability, assertiveness & expedited our request. A reputable foundation nonetheless. Under the circumstances where the last thing you need is more task to tackle, Chavez Funeral& cremations took a huge weight of our hands. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Especially to Sonia. Excellent, well done. Cons: Some reviews say that This organization doesn't get back in time. I totally can understand the frustration(under the circumstances) however a simple call and text to, friendly remind Sonia or her staff will solve that miscommunication. Any organization can get backed up or busy but I can assure you it's an easy fix. Atleast it worked for me. Best.

    My mother passed away recently and we decided to have her cremation and memorial service handled by…read moreRose Hills. The cremation was done at the main location in Whittier and the memorial service was held at the Alhambra branch. All of the staff were very patient, understanding and helpful. They were able to help with all of the requests that we had and on top of that were very quick to get back to us with responses. The memorial service went smoothly and without a hitch, thanks to the funeral director and staff at Rose Hills that day. If you decide to hold a service here make sure to let all the invitees know that this is the Alhambra location; most people only know about the main Rose Hills cemetery in Whittier. To the staff: Karpo, Vincent, Donnie and Mai - thank you for all the help with my mother's service.

I can't believe I am even writing this after my BABY SONS funeral service. I'm still VERY LIVID how our service was handled. Our Arranger HENRY CHAN, lacked the basic skills of guiding us on our sons service. We were in the dark majority of this process. Please keep in mind, this is our first time coping with funeral planning so OBVIOUSLY we don't know what to expect nor do we know how planning a service consists of. Tell me why our arranger never ASKED us what type of service we envision? Why did WE have to ask him what type of service they recommended doing since we are non-religious? All he offered to us was a catalog of Urns and Casket STILL without explaining anything to us KNOWING our son is a BABY whom passed. We were given ZERO guidance on this whole experience. I understand we're in a pandemic but that does not excuse ANYONE in this business to handle the things we experienced!! Less than 24 hours before our sons service, we weren't told if we should bring in photos or flowers or ANYTHING of that nature. In tears and frustration, the entire family had to haul ass last minute to gather everything in time. On top of this, on the day of my sons cremation I requested to see him one last time and was DENIED that when our arranger promised us we were able to see him!! WHY DID WE PAY FOR THIS SERVICE IF IT CANT BE FULFILLED? It's been a few weeks since this horrible experience and NO management has reached out to us on this matter. I will NEVER recommend rose hills on their lack of empathy or to any grieving family who is seeking a funeral home to work with.

    Losing my dad unexpectedly threw my family and I into a journey of deep grief we weren't ready for…read more My family looked to me to make all the plans and arrangements for my dad. Completely inexperienced in all of this, I was so anxious and had no clue where to go or what to do next. Then I found Allay Direct Cremation and so much of my worries and questions went away. Lawrence who is the owner of Allay was the one I was in direct contact with during this difficult time. I just cannot say enough wonderful things about him and Allay Cremation. Lawrence was so sympathetic, patient, and understanding. He took the time to explain the entire cremation process and what I needed to do on my end (which was almost to absolutely nothing). The pricing is direct and more than reasonable. I didn't feel pressured or rushed. Any questions I had about the forms I had to fill out, Lawrence answered them super promptly. I simply was met with so much kindness that this whole experience didn't feel one bit transactional. I felt he really cared. Just writing this review makes me a bit teary eyed actually because my experience with Allay Cremation is was one of the most peaceful and easiest things I experienced during the loss of my dad. For that, I am so thankful. I will recommend them and only them over and over again. You won't realize this until you've had to use their services, but the attention is in the details. You will see that WOW, they really designed this whole process with so much thought and care for US. Thank you again Allay Cremations team and Lawrence for being the guiding light I needed. You made what I thought was going to be an overwhelming experience, so incredibly easy. I hope to not need your services again soon, but Allay Direct Cremation will be my go cremation service from here on out.

We were actually scammed by another company and he took over and solved everything for us, leaving us at peace after such an awful experience with Legacy. Thank you so much for your kindness and the delivery of the urn and paperwork involved was seamless and timely.
