I was recently at Forest Lawn visiting a loved one and was having trouble finding their spot. I…read morenoticed an employee nearby and flagged him down to see if he could help me. His name was Louie Fregoso, and he immediately stopped what he was doing and helped me find where I needed to go. Once we got there, he even asked if everything looked okay and if there was anything that needed maintenance, which I honestly wasn't expecting. While we were talking, I realized he had actually directed a service for someone I know before. I remember them having nothing but good things to say about how everything was handled, so it was nice putting a face to the name. Louie was really patient, professional and just genuinely nice to talk to. He never made me feel like I was bothering him or like he was trying to rush off. Considering the reason most people are at Forest Lawn in the first place, that kind of compassion really does make a difference. Funny enough, I ended up randomly running into him outside of work later on and recognized him right away. I went up to thank him again because I really did appreciate how he treated me that day. Definitely wanted to give Louie Fregoso the recognition he deserves.

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.

A couple of weeks ago. a dear friend of mine lost her younger sister due to cancer. She was only 39 years YOUNG!! The news not only devastated her own family, but also her closest friends. It is what it is. Staff at this memorial home in Glendale were so professional, attentive, kind, caring, loving, helpful and very compassionate. The services were done with pride, excellence and dignity. They are not as commercialized as Forest Lawn and other Memorial Homes. They do all types of services from cremation, burial, scattering the ashes and more. The chapel itself was a nice, descent size and was very clean and maintained. They have an office where you can talk to someone to decide about everything in general. A place to have meetings, or simply have lunch after the services. We didn't use that room. We went to my friend's house and had lunch over at her place. The cost of their services vary depending on the package that you choose. When I go, I would like for my funeral/services to be held here. For now, I am NOT planning to go anytime soon. Life is beautiful, but only God knows our timing and when to take us to our eternal and final resting place. May all deceased people (RIP) and let the light shine on their spirits and souls to live forever and ever. Thank you all very much. They have a parking and restrooms.. Closed on the weekends!
