I cannot thank Pierre, Vahik, and the entire team at Always There Funeral Services enough for…read moreeverything they did for our family. When my father-in-law passed away in Orange County, our wish was to bring him back to his homeland, Iran, to be laid to rest in his hometown. Pierre helped us from the very beginning with incredible kindness, compassion, and respect. He quickly arranged transportation from Orange County to their facility in Los Angeles and made sure my father-in-law was treated with dignity and care. For the remainder of the process, I worked primarily with Vahik, who handled the extremely complicated international arrangements, permits, documentation, and transportation. Communication was always clear and transparent, and we knew what to expect every step of the way. When political developments unexpectedly suspended flights into Iran while the journey was already underway, Vahik and the team did not give up. They coordinated new documentation in Turkey, found an alternative route to an airport near the Iranian border, and arranged ground transportation so our family could receive my father-in-law and finally bring him to his hometown. During one of the hardest times in our lives, they took an enormous burden off our family. Their compassion, professionalism, communication, and determination to find a solution were truly exceptional. Most importantly, they helped us fulfill our final wish for our loved one and bring him home with dignity. Our family will always be grateful to Pierre, Vahik, and everyone at Always There Funeral Services. I highly recommend them, especially to any family facing the difficult process of international transportation and repatriation of a loved one.

When my father in law passed away the family went to the funeral home where his wife was buried and…read morewhere he had a pre-paid plot next to her. We remembered that he was not happy with the way he was treated there when his wife past, but we felt we had no choice since he certainly would want to be laid to rest next to his beloved wife of over 50 years. While speaking with them (I wont name them here) we got more and more unhappy with their attitude which was all about how they operated and how they could not be flexible and considerate of how the family wanted to proceed with the process. We then remembered that recently my father in law was talking about a small mortuary called Crippen and that he wanted to use them (they happen to be across the street from our favorite breakfast location) even though he was going to be buried with his wife. We actually found some information he had gathered from them in his home as well. He may have been trying to save the family money. Finally in exasperation with the other funeral home, we called Crippen. We should have listened more closely to my father in law and called them first. Every interaction we had with Chris at Crippen was the opposite of our previous experience. Chris's sincerity and honesty were apparent throughout the process. We ended up having the service within four days at their location across from the diner, and only 10 minutes from my father in laws home of many year. Chris handled everything and led the services with grace and kindness and with very little notice. Crippen then transferred the remains so my father in law could be laid to rest next to his wife. Everyone felt it was the kind of service that he would have wanted. Thank you Crippen and Chris. Rest in peace Tom.

In fact, they do everything in their power to make your grieving process exponentially harder. My mother died in 2023 and I, being the only local child, had to handle the arrangements. Having never done this before, my uncle prepared a list of mortuaries for me to call. Lacking the faculties to spend the time to really vet a place - as my mom had JUST DIED - I called the first one on the list - Crippen Mortuary. Worst mistake I could've made. I don't see Clare on their list of staff anymore, which is good, because she was an absolute nightmare. First, my uncle's house doesn't have the best reception, so my call wasn't coming through very well. Clare said, "I can't hear you, you'll have to call back" and hung up. Should've left it there, but I wasn't thinking clearly so I went outside and called again. This time, she was friendly enough, but it wouldn't last. The coroner decided to do an investigation, since the cause of death was unclear, and seeing as LA county only has 1 coroner, they can get kinda backed up. Long story short, we waited about a month until they could do an autopsy, and my mother's body was transported back and forth a couple of times due to miscommunications between Crippen and the coroner. Ultimately, they began to pressure us to cremate, WHILE THE INVESTIGATION WAS STILL ONGOING. Ultimately, we decided to take our mother's death care elsewhere, as they were not sympathetic to our situation in the slightest. Clare even THREATENED TO HOLD MY MOM'S BODY HOSTAGE until we paid them - which is SUPER illegal. Long story short, it seems Clare is no longer there, but honestly, I got a similar vibe from the owner Robert when we spoke with him. Leave your loved one's death care to someone else, these guys have no sympathy for grieving families, which is a bit surprising considering their area of business.

My mother passed away two months ago, and navigating everything that comes with that loss felt overwhelming. From the very beginning, their team made the entire process feel straightforward and manageable. They were incredibly respectful, responsive, and handled every detail with care and dignity. One thing that really stood out to me was their pricing. Everything was clearly laid out upfront, all-inclusive, and exactly as quoted--no hidden fees, no surprise add-ons. After dealing with other companies where costs kept creeping up, this level of transparency was such a relief. It allowed us to focus on honoring my mom instead of worrying about unexpected expenses. What stood out most overall was how easy they made everything during such an emotional time. There was no confusion, no added stress--just clear communication and genuine support when it mattered most. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Opal Cremation Services of Greater Los Angeles to anyone going through this process. They truly bring peace of mind when you need it the most.
