    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Live Oak Memorial Park. From the moment my grandmother…read morepassed away to the very last moment of her burial service, I was supported with the utmost care, compassion, and professionalism. 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.

    The primary reason to use Universal Funeral Chapel is May Hsiao. May Hsiao is outstanding,…read moreempathetic and in these times, where the family is grieving, having someone take care of as much logistics as possible is beyond a godsend. Two of my family members died within 6 months of each other. One in June in Arizona and the other in December in California. There's a stark difference between the processes of Funeral/Pick up of the body/ arrangements between the Arizona company and Universal Funeral Chapel. And the key contributor to that is May. She looked out for our welfare even with Rose Hills. She took care of literally everything else, advised us of what to do and not to do to save us money. IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE, Universal Funeral, BECAUSE of May, is the right choice because of the above and beyond service she provides. Thank you May, for all that you did, for the family!

Mom was saved in 2017, that's why this scripture is so pertinent. She went to the Universal Funeral Home in 2021and consulted with May for her immediate disposition and funeral, mom must had a preemptive vision which unfortunately came through, after she got scared into getting the 2 Covid Jabs, her heart rate went berserk, she told me 180 and no way if slowing it down, due to Spike Protein worsening her previous heart condition and hypertention, Diabetes attacked her mercilessly after a long period of of remission. Here we are, after a long struggle with hospitalization and onset Alzheimers, mom took off right after Easter, I did not know much about the process so I called May, and she immediately brought moms remain from the Nursing Home to the Funeral Home for refrigeration. Since mom did not discuss much about her endeavors with the Funeral plans, May literally hand held me through the Entire Process. She is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the trade, from acquiring burial grounds, to getting the right Plan for the Loved One, she is patient, kind, smart and truly caring about my desire for the Loved One. Thank you for making moms ushering into a New Heaven a seamless and Painless thing. Though there were many unforeseen impediments along the way, she is the Captain that steer our ship into a safe Harbor. Bless you!

    During one of the most difficult times in our lives, Martha became a true blessing to our family…read more From the moment we walked through their doors, we felt compassion, patience, and genuine care. She didn't just guide us through the process -- she carried us through it with grace and dignity. Every detail was handled with such tenderness and respect, honoring our loved one in a way that brought us comfort and peace. Her kindness felt like God's presence in the room, reminding us that even in grief, we are not alone. She listened to our wishes, prayed with us, and created a service that reflected not only a life well lived but a soul welcomed home. We are forever grateful for Martha's professionalism, empathy, and the love she showed our family. In a season of sorrow, Martha was a light. May God continue to bless the work she do for so many families in need.

From the first time I called their business to the day I picked up my mom's ashes, they were Amazing. Their pricing was very reasonable, and they were there assisting me every step of the way. Needless to say, I was going through a very emotional experience losing my mom, and White's Funeral Home not only made the process very easy but also made sure that I did not feel pressured. I would recommend White's Funeral Home to anyone going through the death of a family member.

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.

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.

I'd give him 100stars, cannot say enough wonderful things about this man- He's very professional, kind, and kept me up to date as much as possible and solved problems along the way. Manny went above and beyond to help make the process easier for everyone I was very grateful for his help, I think he works harder at his job than anyone else. Aside from that I was not impressed with a lot of things. The day of the Memorial was chaotic, the guests had no direction and were told to wait so they all congregated up at the front building. Then the viewing that was supposed to be just a couple people turned into everyone coming in to view my father. This could have been catastrophic if I wasn't so laid back but he looked sharp so I figure it was meant to be that way, many were glad they got to see him. It worked out well it was just a bit overwhelming as that was way different than what was originally planned. Whoever was directing outside would not allow the person I hired to set up the photos & flowers go inside the cemetery beforehand so when I discovered that nothing had been done at the site yet I had to run from the viewing to go throw everything together all by myself at the location in the literal minutes before the ceremony. Due to that set back I didn't get anything up properly. Lastly a few days before the funeral the groundskeepers assured me that they would have my grandfathers grave cleaned up (my dad was buried in the same plot at later date) but it was not done. It's also been noticed they remove flowers very quickly after placed which is a bit off putting. They were very much on top of making sure payment was complete but after that it took a substantial amount of time and several check ins before burial happened for my dad. To be honest I didn't mind that wait but from day one I was very clear I wanted to be there for his burial. The day finally came and I found out the afternoon before that they would be burying him the next day, a bit frustrating the lack of notice but it was beyond time for it to happen so I just worked it out. I kept in communication up until just a couple hours before to make sure it was clear I would be there for the burial and agreed to come at a set time. I showed up an hour before that set time and my father was already buried!! This was extremely upsetting and the men finishing up did not seem to care in the slightest about my distress. It seems like they were just glad to have "finished up early". This has been extremely distressing for me and my family/friends are upset hearing it as well. I'm still struggling with what happened. I spoke with Manny afterwards and he was very apologetic as this was not how it was supposed to go, he was not notified they were going to finish early so there was really nothing that could have gone differently on his end. There is some major communication issues going on. I'm definitely rethinking the plans I was considering for myself and the rest of my family in a plot here as it seems like the management is lacking, it doesn't really seem like anyone else cares there. It's kept together just well enough to get paid.
