The chapel was a nice space, well laid out, well lit, clean and looks like it was good for seating at least 200 people. The staff seemed nice and willing to assist with whatever was needed.

7/9/2026: (Down from 4 stars) Unfortunately, I have to lower…read moremy previous 4-star rating to 2 stars. While my experience here in January 2024 was good, the service during my Aunt's recent funeral was filled with unnecessary struggle and communication issues. From the very beginning of the planning stages, I noticed a severe disconnect. The funeral associate handling our arrangements, Jonathan, was continuously difficult to get in touch with. There seemed to be no sense of urgency on his part to communicate. I even tried to make things easier for him by offering email as our primary platform instead of calling, but the responsiveness just wasn't there. Because we had to postpone the original funeral date by 8 days, our process was longer than usual, which made reliable communication even more critical. We had to specifically prompt him just to get the obituary loaded onto the main website. When the postponed service date finally arrived, we discovered that the printed program cards had the wrong day of the week on them. While the numerical date was correct, the day itself was wrong. For a family, these programs are meant to be a lasting keepsake; instead, it looked sloppy and made it seem as though we hadn't tied up our loose ends. Just when we thought we were nearing the end of the process, communication went completely nonexistent. I ultimately had to call and demand to speak with someone else just to find out why the death certificates were taking so long. We were finally told that they were simply waiting on the doctor's signature. While that delay is entirely understandable, the complete failure to communicate that status to us is not. There are certain professions that require immense sensitivity, empathy, and care toward family members. Funeral directing is absolutely one of them. Our family is very small, and we were already spread incredibly thin. After spending countless days in the ICU with our loved one, making difficult decisions, saying goodbye, and planning a service, I desperately needed the funeral director to be the supportive caretaker I was hoping for to help us close this chapter. Instead, I walked away exhausted and deeply disappointed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (originally 4 stars) 1/15/2024: Writing reviews for funeral homes is always difficult, but maintaining objectivity is the best way to help other families navigating these spaces. I have attended three services at this location over the years--most recently this week--and wanted to share an honest, balanced perspective on the experience. Traffic Noise: Because the funeral home is located right off the highway, the exterior traffic noise is incredible before you step through the doors. While this isn't something the establishment can necessarily control, it can be a bit jarring and disturbing when you are actively grieving. Having not been here in a few years, I noticed the gathering room has been updated with a less traditional look. They have replaced the carpeting with a wood-style flooring. Seating: Personally, I found the new individual chairs to be quite small and uncomfortable. The older, pew-style seating felt much more inviting and comfortable for longer services. The staff here are incredibly welcoming, warm, and attentive. They did a fantastic job setting up a beautiful, personalized themed display table for my uncle. They were also highly accommodating with our schedule. Since we were hosting an off-site luncheon immediately following the service, it would have been difficult to pack up all of our personal photos and flowers right away. The staff graciously allowed us to leave them and return later in the day to pick them up, which was a huge relief. The burial grounds are very pretty, especially with the beautiful new expansion they have added. Having stood right alongside my Aunt through the planning, costs, and service, I can say the experience was ultimately a good one.

The last funeral service was last month for my father who had passed away suddenly. I didn't play much of a part in preparing/planning my mom's funeral so I can't comment on that so I'll focus on the latest one. The funeral home was promptly contacted and we made an appointment to meet up (not until 5 days later because they were booked until then) and we met with Cer who was professional and very responsive. In fact, everyone there was very accommodating. My father had made plans for this ahead of time so we only had to make more minor decisions within the "package" he had paid for. That was really a pleasant surprise because it is a lot all at once - especially when no one expected it to happen. The place is a more practical building though the inside is clearly Asian influenced. I quickly realized most of the people that go through here are Asian. Everyone at the receptionist's desk is approachable and helpful. They also won't kick you out (we accidentally lingered a little longer than our allowed time for the first day and they just waited for us). They offer all sorts of services from Buddhist to Church ones and will accommodate as best as they can to personal requests. We only met Cer that once but she was super responsive via email thereafter. Our visits after that first time, she was busy... somewhere. We opted for Friday-Saturday service dates and she wasn't available those dates but it still went smoothly thanks to everyone involved. They have two large rooms where you can have your service in. Both have a kitchen. One room is a little bigger than the other. They seem pretty clean with plenty of seats. They were also very helpful when we asked to see our Dad so we went a separate time for a private viewing in the back. Again, no rush. Be prepared for some time to pass between each step. They are busy and when we finally scheduled the actual service dates, they ended up being just over 2 weeks out because that was the earliest available. Overall, as good as it could be all things considered. Very helpful and prompt without being overbearing or pushy. They don't try to sell you MORE which is great. (I do recommend getting a "package" for the ones you leave behind if feasible because that was extremely helpful.... The entire process could have been a lot more challenging and time consuming without it.)

TLDR: Beresford gave us EXACTLY what we wanted and needed, with a compassionate and competent…read moremanner. 100% satisfied with our experience! There aren't a lot of reviews about local funeral service providers compared to restaurants, dry cleaners, etc. so we wanted to leave one in the hopes it will help others who find themselves having to figure this out on the fly. We're not detailing our exact line items or costs because everyone's wants will differ and we'd hate to cite a cost that may change over time. We had an elderly family member pass, and several of us were deputized to support the surviving spouse during the search for a funeral service provider. A nearby home that they had driven by for years and just assumed they'd use when the time came had gone out of business during COVID so we were starting from scratch. One of us got a recommendation for Beresford from a friend and another of us found them online at the same time. Since most of us are digital natives, we wanted information online which a number of places do not provide (it's the year 2022!!) but Beresford does. It was such a nice change from the super annoying phone calls to competitors to ask about pricing and beat off the repeated requests for everyone's personal identity information - they don't need all those details at that point. At the end, the spouse wanted to make an in-person visit somewhere so after reading through Beresford's website, we made an appointment and off we went. It's a family-owned business and since we have generations of small business owners in ours, shopping local is important to us. We met with the founder's (Chip - he has a very impressive story!) son William, who was straight out of Hollywood typecasting: calm, considerate, capable. William explained the whole process from a general perspective and then specified what Beresford stands for (value and transparency) and what they offer for each element of the funeral process. There was no upselling and no emotional leveraging (i.e. "wouldn't your loved one want this?" or "what will the rest of the family think?"). It was all very straightforward and there was no pressure to decide anything that day. We have a data nerd among us who calculated the mileage of the transportation from the hospital to the home to the final location and asked about the eight mile excess over the complimentary transportation limit. William simply folded his hands and kindly said, "We're not worried about eight miles. You won't be charged." That pretty much summed up the whole experience - they weren't worried about charging for anything more than the requested services and everything turned out exactly as promised. To be honest, since we were all so inexperienced with the funeral process we wouldn't have been surprised to be contacted after signing the agreement and be told that there were additional charges or that something couldn't be done but it couldn't have been a smoother or more reassuring experience. We're grateful there are people like the Beresford family to take care of those of us when we're feeling our way forward in the dark. Thank you, William, for supporting us. Thank you, Chip, for coming up with this idea of how to serve people.

I was given a choice of 3 funeral homes that do onsite cremations and perform Buddhist funeral…read moreservices. The first funeral home I visited was AWFUL. The funeral director abruptly told he was busy and sent someone else to speak to me. That person told me he did not handle Buddhist arrangements and referred me back to the first guy. I was told to make an appointment. I immediately left and went to Garden Oaks that same day. The reception I received from Garden Oaks was AMAZING. I was greeted by William T. Bushnell, the manager. I did not have an appointment. He did not care about that. He was polite, informative, knowledgeable, understanding, and respectful. He took his time and thoroughly explained all my options. He gave me a tour of the facility. I never felt rushed or pressured into making a decision. I never felt like I was disrupting his time. Because of his politeness, I chose Garden Oaks Funeral Home. Claude Akamafula handled my mother's funeral service. Like William, he was polite, informative, knowledgeable, understanding, and respectful. He provided great advice and guided me through all the necessary details of "what to do" for a Buddhist service and a Western service. It was a very depressing time for me. Claude was a tremendous help. I don't think I would have gotten through all the arrangements without him. After the funeral I was contacted by Donna Brawley and Thelma Boikin. (My apologies if I misspelled any names.)They wanted to know if I had any issues with the funeral. I just want to say THANK YOU to all the staff for all the help I received. The receptionists were always polite to me. I appreciate that. I am sorry that I do not know the names of the receptionists I had contact with. I also want to say that this review is LONG OVERDUE.
