Thanks to them we were able to obtain a Catholic mass & funeral services in our back yard. Our concern was also to get our mom's cremation/Urn within a two week time frame. 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.

She had such a nurturing hand while still being extremely efficient. Liz made one of the most arduous times in our life bearable. She was intuitive and anticipated what was needed. Liz created a safe space for us to grieve our queen in peace. She maximized the time we were given so that we would not feel rushed. This detail was paramount to our experience with the funeral home. Liz seamlessly continued continuity of care at the church and cemetery. She was never intrusive and even she even had brief moments of levity, that were needed at times, to diffuse potentially difficult situations from occurring. Liz had the amazing Marvin assisting her throughout this process. He was very pleasant, diligent, and took direction extremely well. I was impressed by Funeraria Del Ángel South Gate because of Liz. She is exceptionally dedicated to her craft and treated us with dignity and respect. She is EXACTLY who you need when going through such a laboriously sorrowful time.

We selected this funeral home for our mother as she was under hospice care at our home in Gardena, so proximity was important as we hoped for a fairly swift process for picking her up upon passing. This was not the case, nor was the wait time accurately communicated. With young children in the home, it was very important to us that we were able to gauge this transition process and their miscommunication made it very hard. Their handling post-mortem seemed good. Their communication during the planning process was not the best, but manageable. Their process for hand-offs and coverage when someone is out was also challenging. As we approached the funeral date, we had questions about the services, her clothing delivery, etc. which I would have expected our primary contact person would have preemptively discussed with us, however we had to proactively reach out, leave messages, follow up, and finally was connected to someone able to assist. Their handling of our requests for special traditional dressing was handled with excellence and care! I cannot thank them enough for this. My mother looked so beautiful due to their team's execution of our wishes. The staff assigned during the both services were extremely helpful and caring. Their AV equipment is challenging to work with. While I was given options for the video montage, I had to meet with the director several hours before our service to troubleshoot it would project properly and the audio came through as expected. This took several tries and ultimately the options offered were not used. We connected my laptop to the system and projected from there. As mentioned, while we had a favorable experience for some aspects of this process, I would hope Lighthouse strongly works to improve certain areas of their service delivery considering this is a very difficult and vulnerable period for most people.
