    My Mom passed and we were not prepared on what to do immediately following her passing. I knew that…read moreI wanted an aquamation so googled around looking for a business that provides aquamation. I found Anubis and called, unsure if they would service the Orange County area. Absolutely everyone we spoke with at Anubis was very considerate and very accommodating. It was the Friday before Memorial Day so it took a while to get to Orange County. They carefully transferred my Mom to their vehicle. They were very responsive to all of our questions and really made the whole process much easier than I thought it would be. We really appreciated that as we were still trying to process our Mom's passing. They're the best! They arranged a meeting point midway between Glendale and where we lived in Orange County to transfer our urns to us. I highly, highly recommend Anubis. They really made a difficult time easier because of their excellent care of our Mom.

    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.

    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.

Allay's services were everything I'd hope for--professional, efficient, and also caring and concerned. Having to fly from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles to make final arrangements while grieving the loss of my son was no easy task. Allay made it seamless, with most of the arrangements made online or by phone call. My son's ashes arrived the day after I flew back to Philly. if you are in need of cremation services, consider the team at Ally to guide you through the emotionally difficult process of dealing with the death of a cherished loved one.

My husband's daughter died very suddenly & tragically last month. Josh's enormous help, compassion and attention to detail is what got us through this ordeal. He is on top of everything, an excellent communicator and true care and concern cannot be expressed adequately. He is quick to respond ALWAYS, answers all calls & texts quickly and accommodated some last minute requests in the best possible way. I've personally not arranged a cremation before, and he walked me through every step of the way, from interacting with the coroner, all the way to obtaining the death certificate. Josh, from the Martinez family, thank for your superb work and we wish many blessings upon you and your family.

It was my first time seeing and experiencing this. Parking is very small but they have a free 4hr parking structure about a block away, easily accessible and walkable. Tastea boba catered for friends and family at this funeral service and they also had food that guests can enjoy at their seat during the service. One of a kind and unforgettable and really accommodated everyone (over 250 guests). Rest in Paradise, my lovely Jenn! IG: @ammysalamii

Universal Chung Wah Funeral Home has been part of this community for many many years. We were looking for a small viewing followed by cremation. The staff member named May was patient and helpful, answering all of our questions and provided useful suggestions. She did not try to upsell services. The day of the service went smoothly as planned. We arrived some time earlier and things were already set up. When the ashes were ready, another staff member even dropped off the ashes as a courtesy on her way to another appointment, so that my 80 year old mom didn't have to Uber there to pick up the ashes. Small gestures like this is greatly appreciated during such a difficult time.
