He was incredibly organized, ensuring that the ceremony flowed smoothly while remaining sensitive to our family's emotional needs. I also want to commend the cemetery itself for its beautiful environment. The grounds are immaculately maintained and offer a sense of peace and serenity. With its lush greenery and quiet atmosphere, it feels more like a tranquil park than a traditional cemetery. It is a source of great comfort to our family knowing that our mother is resting in such a beautiful and dignified place. Thank you, Jess, and the entire staff for your support and kindness during this time.

This review is for Salina specifically. She is a professional and will help you through this…read moredifficult, but necessary process. Selina is patient, thoughtful, responsive, and a very niceperson. Not once we felt that she was pressuring us on anything. She thoroughly explained everything to us and let us decide. A lot of other funeral homes will have pushy and non sympathetic staff members that just want you to buy so they can earn their commission and move on. This is not Salina. I cannot praise her enough and she deserve a raise or promotion. I will recommend Salina to all my friends and family. Please look for her if you're at Woodlawn Funeral Home, you won't regret it.

I left the main review under Cypress Lawn because Olivet is now owned and run by Cypress lawn…read more Look for details there. Before the change of management in 2022 after my mother passed, I called and spoke with them. They helped me understand the process and what to expect and confirmed that my mother could be in interred with my father. They called it a right of internment and assured me, there would be no problem. I contacted them again and learned about the takeover by Cypress Lawn. I was assigned a different person some young man who told me my mother could not be buried with her husband, as was her last wish. I can tell you that it seems profits are number one, the chairman of board and the Board of Directors won't even do anything to help you. The chairman of the board wrote me a letter made assurances and then never followed through my mother remains unburied. She was a well respected Doelger Senior Center volunteer and state of California public service retiree. My father was a decorated war hero and this situation is just shameful.

My family has a number of people buried in the cemetery. We've held several funerals in the chapel…read morethat is on site. The workers here are amazing from the front office folks to the groundskeepers. They all take pride in working for the cemetery and keeping it running very well. We recently held a funeral in the chapel, and although it is a bit of a do it yourself experience it worked out really well. There is seating for about 100 people and HDMI hook ups to use a large screen TV for a photo show if that is what someone wants. It's also a beautiful cemetery up on a hill with a nice view.

Everyone was very accommodating with my mother's funeral. Very respectful to my family.read more

Not normally a place that I review…read more I've been here before but only for the burial of a friend's parent. On my recent visit here, my friends were putting their parent to rest on a recent Sunday morning, a norm these days, given our ages now. It is not a large place like other mortuaries in the area but we were able to fit a little over a hundred in their service room. As you enter, there is a reception area where a table was set up with snacks and a drink and coffee station to the side. The staff was pretty low key as these type of events become more of a reunion besides remembering the departed. The program started on time and went smoothly, with a slideshow with moving clips along with background music ran on a loop. After the eulogies were read and guests paid homage to the departed and her family, we were led outside. The gravesite was a pretty good hike from the building as our entourage followed the hearse. The staff who guided the hosts through the service were friendly, patient, and appreciative of guests who helped. The only criticism is that the graveyard crew seemed a bit disorganized as the shovel loader was not in position to make the burial process smooth. Overall, for a smaller mortuary, they make the program pretty seamless.

Grateful is an understatement for the immaculate work the Golden Hill Memorial team did in supporting us through our loss. They were on top of all the details and guided us through the Chinese customs for honoring my father-in-law. Sue, Polly, Christina, Wilson, and Steven were so on top of everything. From the beautiful clean, modern venue, to the welcome treats and drinks for our guests. They really know how to run a tight ship. Each team member was personable and professional, as they consistently checked in on our family. All our guests were impressed with their hospitality and wide selection of post funeral ceremony offerings as we waited for the burial ceremony. I have never experienced such an elevated experience at a funeral, and it really surprised our family. Golden Hill Memorial goes above and beyond, and we are grateful for their care.

Came here yesterday for my grandmother's burial. The people who own this cemetery also own another…read moreone in San Francisco. This location is MUCH better than the one in San Francisco because it really does not give that creepy and scary cemetery vibe and walking to your loved ones plot/ grave marker is much easier to walk to since it is pretty much flat lands (at the other place, people are buried on steep hills and its pretty dangerous to walk on the dirt to get up to your loved one, especially if they are higher up the hill. This is especially difficult for elderly to make their way up as well). Also wanted to mention that this location is a lot smaller than the other one. The grass looked like it needed to be mowed, it wasn't really crazy long, but just needed to be trimmed. There are several trash cans around which is nice to be able to throw out the plastic wrapping that the flowers you would buy at a florist comes in. I thought it was kind of odd that the sprinklers when we were there between 2:30 pm- 3:30 pm. What if people wanted to come and visit their loved ones? Will they just have to sit in the car and visit that way in order to prevent from getting wet? I think they should either have their sprinklers on early in the morning or later in the evening so that it does not interrupt anyone's visit to this cemetery. And also so that when people arrive, their shoes will not get all dirty and muddy. Anyways, this place is an easy miss, as we had missed the main entrance the 1st and 2nd time we have been here (my grandfather was buried here last year). Just drive slow on Hillside so that you don't miss the main entrance (although you could park on the street, but make sure you read the signs for the time restrictions) or you'll just have to make a U-turn and come on back. Overall, this cemetery is definitely a lot better than their other location and thought the place was a nice place.

I found Acme Memorial through Yelp and as soon as I called, Paul was very sympathetic and very helpful in helping us getting a headstone at a decent price. We worked solely through phone and email, which was very helpful since I don't live in the Bay Area. Paul worked with the digital pictures we sent him and he even photoshopped the photo to remove the background which came out great. Paul even got the headstone done and delivered to the cemetery in less than 4 weeks. The headstone came out great and Paul made the process really easy for us during a very difficult time. I highly recommend Acme Memorial for their great customer service and being so easy to work with.
