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 quick to respond ALWAYS, answers all calls & texts quickly and accommodated some last minute requests in the best possible way.

Josh, from the Martinez family, thank for your superb work and we wish many blessings upon you and your family.

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.

I just googled cremation services as I had no guidance. My mom passed at a Kaiser hospital so the process with transfer was seamless. I called late in the evening and did talk to Lawrence immediately. He explained the cost and process. From there it was pretty easy. Just had to wait for the cremation to happen. They arranged for her remains to be dropped off directly to our house which happened in a timely manner. I had asked that she be placed in an "urn" for us. I purchased off Amazon a rosewood box with a picture frame in front. I didn't to have to deal with taking the plastic bag of ashes and putting them in myself, so they had me dropship the urn to them and they handled it for me. THANK YOU! I would not hesitate to recommend them and most likely will be calling on them when my father ultimately passes. During a difficult situation you don't need any poor customer service or any problems and that is exactly what I DIDN'T get from them..no problems and excellent customer service. Thank you!

In short this company mailed him off to be sent to Texas like a letter to a friend. His cremations were put in a PRIORITY box instead of next day shipping. It took us 3 WEEKS TO RECEIVE HIS REMAINS! The post office has certain requirements for remains of a loved one and this company just placed him in a box and added STAMPS in the value of 26.20 on it. His remains were misplaced due to THIS company not following the correct procedures in shipping. THIS box was tossed around like any other postage. How does a person live life and pass away and not be handled with CARE? OUR loved one was not just another package but a human being. He will be missed by his family and friends. It's sad to see how a business who does this as A BUSINESS can't take the proper steps to assure the family that he will be taken care of to help ease their heartache. This experience has not helped us heal but give us the worst anxiety to be added to our grief.

There are multiple mausoleums, a main office and grounds office that typically have staff available 7 days a week to help you, and a full blown catholic church with a daily mass. The bathrooms are not that easy to find, typically tucked away in the middle of one of the mausoleum buildings with little signage, but once you find them, they are clean and the vintage fixtures are all working. I even saw one with one of those old toilet tanks up high on the wall like in The Godfather where they hide the gun. There are multiple sections, mostly by the date of burial, but the coolest part of this Cemetery are the really old, gothic graves with tall headstones, and sculptures. There are even freestanding private mausoleums for very rich families. It truly is a historic place. I am happy that the employees are so helpful and considerate. We had trouble getting the urn out of the ground because so much time had passed and the dirt had locked it in place. The guy from the office radio-ed a grounds keeper who came right over to the plot and pried it out with his shovel. Definitely saved our sore fingers. We had no chance of getting that one out by ourselves. Above and beyond! Thank you! *Please show respect to the dead and the family that gather here if you are just there to look around and not visit a grave. Speak quietly. Be discreet with photo taking and you know, just read the room and don't be a jerk.

In a time of loss, what you want most is an ethical business that helps you with what you need without trying to exploit your vulnerability. That can be surprisingly hard to find in the funeral industry, which is why working with Life Source felt like a blessing. I received excellent service at a fair price without any upsells, pressure, or hidden fees. Because of their support, we had a beautiful burial at sea.
