We paid for the whole stationary package and there were no prayer cards anywhere. I've asked around and no one received them. The thank you notes have printing all over them and a huge advertisement for the funeral home on them. The table at the cemetery for my fathers ashes looked like a Costco children's table. I'm grateful a friend and small blanket to cover the table to make it look nice. The were was no direction from the funeral home before hand so everything was rushed the day of even though I emailed John a week in advance to go over the way the day would play out. Every time someone from the funeral home got on the microphone they reminded our guests what funeral home they were from. My whole family has gone through this funeral home in the past, before it was sold to this new company. It's sad to see the way they are running it now.

Any request we made were accommodated without any questions asked. John and the staff has been very respectful and professionals. When we had questions, they would answer the question or find another person to answer. When we asked for something to be done whether in the a small detail to a larger, they did it. It was nice to feel welcome in Delano Mortuary during this difficult time. We asked for a live stream so that family from Germany, Philippines, Indiana and Fairfield could see the funeral. John did it. We asked for our playlist to be played instead of instrumental, Delano Mortuary did it. We asked for the casket to be lifted so we could go under, Delano Mortuary did it. I am very impress with the professionalism and respect that Delano Mortuary showed my family during this grieving time.

I managed the arrangements to reduce stress and yet this entire company added stress. Anytime I posted publicly on social media several people had similar complaints.

This is the only cemetery in Delano since it's a pretty small city, but I did notice that they started to increase the size of the cemetery also. I absolutely love the military memorial they have. It's not a huge memorial like other big cities, but I love how they acknowledge the fallen heroes and have their name on this wall so that we can be proud of our town heroes. This cemetery is well taken care of and is always clean. Flowers are thrown away from gravestones once a week, so if you place artificial flowers weekly then you have to make sure to pick them up on time or they will get tossed, unless you put fresh flowers then that's fine. They don't have a lot of shade when you visit during the hotter months, so make sure you bring an umbrella to cover up and if you plan to stay for a long time, don't forget your mats/picnic blankets to get comfortable.

Just before we completed our goodbyes Mr. Rubio said some very kind words to our family and friends about life and how sometimes we take it for granted until we are mourning the loss of a loved one.

Do not recommend even after giving them two chances. If you don't pay up and sign up for them to…read moredo the services and upgrade for their urns etc for sale, forget ever receiving your family member's remains in less than 3 months. First my mother died in September 2023 at AV Hospital, so signed death certificate form from physician. I had to call repeatedly to learn what had happened after Don so kindly and fake concernedly promised her remains return within a few weeks. No on returned my phone calls. They excused it to having my wrong phone number. Interestingly to have such a mistake when you have to complete most forms on line directly and he could use the correct number to try and upsale additional items for increased cost... Second try was from unexpected death of father , at home in a quick hospice placement in July 2024. Due to the hospice physician's errors in death report LA County was required to complete an autopsy which required medical records. However, Don and his group never got back to me about problem and it took almost 3 months to get the Coroner the hospital records and treatments. Then within a week of me getting them and speaking directly with the Coroner he was cremated. However, again had to call repeatedly to inquire as to when his remains were available. Again no consistent return of phone calls. Don and his daughter could never remember my father's or my name and had to look for records, so not too concerned and obviously have problems with many many clients. Save your family more heartache and frustration and go with another group , as it will be more timely and not cost anymore either. If I could give a negative rating I would.
