I could write many things about this cemetery. I've no family buried here, none that plan to be. My…read moreconnection to this cemetery is strictly on a genealogical level. I've visited this cemetery now for the past 5 plus years almost monthly taking photos of markers so that I could upload them to sites Billiongrave.som and findagrave.com to assist a family who may be seeking their loved ones. Most times I go just to a section I plan to photograph but other times I get requests to take a photo and must go into office to get its location. Almost always the staff has been accommodating and assisted me in finding the grave location. I've also gotten help in uncovering markers that over time may have been covered by grass and dirt which they could have had me come back another day but did not. When they haven't accommodated me it's because they have customers and I totally get it, however, they have gotten back to me with my request. This cemetery did start with a fanfare from articles I read in newspapers from the 20's when this cemetery was founded. It was originally formed from a foundation that had a trust fund to upkeep the cemetery, it was designed to not only be a cemetery but a park where people could stroll among statues and fountains. The iconic organ that was specifically commissioned for the cemetery was said to be heard up to five miles away in any direction, many events were held at the cemetery involving the organ including many events surrounding the military and veterans. All this is now long, the organ sold off due to many issues with repairs, it's location that the elements took a toll on. There are no statues, one was supposed to include Teddy Roosevelt who the cemetery was named after. Like most cemeteries, the care lacks and most of the individual graves are left to the care of the family. When I do visit as part of my genealogical work I bring a broom now, cutting scissors or sheers, a couple of very wet towels or a spray bottle to try and clear away any debris, dirt that is growing or covering the marker. The military markers are specially cleaned out of great respect for their service. If you have family there and they currently are not reflected on sites findagrave.com or billiongraves.com contact me so I can photograph and/or add to these sites for prosperity.

My uncle, Eddie Comick, was like a father to me, and losing him this past November to Colon Cancer was incredibly difficult. After searching for the right place, we found Destiny, and I am so grateful we did. ​From our initial meeting until long after my uncle was laid to rest, Steven was there every step of the way. He truly treated us like family. One moment that meant so much was when Steven sat with my sister and me to view a tribute video of our favorite memories; his presence and comfort during that time were a gift. ​Steven's attention to detail was incredible. He guided me through every logistics hurdle and even helped arrange the catering for the repass. I honestly don't know how I would have managed without his help. If you are looking for a place that is family-oriented and prioritizes service and fair pricing over profit, I highly recommend Destiny Funeral Home. I know my uncle would have been so proud of his home-going service. Thank you, Steven, for everything. ​-- Jakela Baylor

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.
