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.

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.

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.

Unfortunately for those of us that live in the San Gabriel Valley or nearby, this Chapman Funeral…read moreHome is not actually convenient at all. Someone I know recommended Chapman to me, but I am not sure why. First of all, if your loved one requested to be cremated, their remains will have to be taken all the way to Orange County where the crematorium is located. Second of all, if you would like to have a viewing prior the cremation, it can ONLY be done in Orange County. This makes absolutely no sense for anyone whose loved one and family live in Los Angeles County. On top of that, this location is ONLY open from 10 am to 4 pm Monday through Friday. So, if you work normal hours, that means you have to take off work to make the arrangements, then take off work again to pick up the ashes, then take off work again to pick up the death certificates. This is honestly very poor service to folks in the area. Apart from that, the price of the cremation was in line with what other funeral homes offer. The building is cool and historical, I will say that. Free candy and tissues at the desk.

Her services looked so beautiful! The manager, Erick G., along with funeral directors Elizabeth and Mario, were truly exceptional. Every step of the process was clearly explained, transparent, and handled with great thoughtfulness. I never once felt rushed, confused, or alone during an incredibly emotional time. They presented the service options, offered their expert guidance, and allowed me to make decisions without any pressure. No matter how many times I called or emailed with questions, I was always met with kindness, patience, and genuine helpfulness. Their compassion never wavered, and I felt completely taken care of throughout the entire process. It truly meant everything to my family and me. Erick, Elizabeth, and Mario were an incredible trio - professional, thorough, and deeply compassionate. They made one of the hardest experiences of my life feel manageable and supported, and I am beyond grateful for them. I wholeheartedly recommend Live Oak Memorial Park. If you are looking for a place where your loved one will be honored with dignity and where you will be treated with care and respect, I highly encourage you to ask for Erick G. (manager) and Elizabeth and Mario (funeral directors). They are truly a blessing and I'm beyond impressed. Forever grateful.

It pains my heart that my mother is buried in this horrible cemetery. From the moment she was…read moreburied here, it has been nothing but problems. They lie about what is included in your funeral package and try to squeeze any other extra dollar out of you. On more than one occasion, they have damaged my mother's headstone with their gardening machinery. Around the inner edges of the cemetery, along the walls it looks like a dump site with running stinking water running through. They regularly do not adhere to their own decoration and flower pick up schedule. Several times they have removed all the decorations ahead of schedule, with no regard to how much money people spend on their decorations. The least they could do is put a notice online to let people know if they are picking up ahead of schedule. If you complain, they will direct you to their booklet that says they are a private business and reserve the right to do whatever they want. Make sure you get every single detail in writing. Their contracts are intentionally misleading.

My mother passed away two months ago, and navigating everything that comes with that loss felt overwhelming. From the very beginning, their team made the entire process feel straightforward and manageable. They were incredibly respectful, responsive, and handled every detail with care and dignity. One thing that really stood out to me was their pricing. Everything was clearly laid out upfront, all-inclusive, and exactly as quoted--no hidden fees, no surprise add-ons. After dealing with other companies where costs kept creeping up, this level of transparency was such a relief. It allowed us to focus on honoring my mom instead of worrying about unexpected expenses. What stood out most overall was how easy they made everything during such an emotional time. There was no confusion, no added stress--just clear communication and genuine support when it mattered most. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Opal Cremation Services of Greater Los Angeles to anyone going through this process. They truly bring peace of mind when you need it the most.

I also want to give a special thank-you to Heath, who personally hand-delivered my dad's remains to me. His kindness and respect in that moment meant more than I can express. Opal Cremation is an exceptional company with an extraordinary team. Their teamwork, compassion, and dedication made a heartbreaking experience so much easier to navigate.
