Murphy & Sons Funeral Home was such a blessing for my family & I. My sister and I just lost our father and because it happened so suddenly & because most of our family lived across the country, we were entirely overwhelmed with the things that we needed to accomplish to lay our father to rest--let alone still process and grieve over our fathers passing. But thankfully Jonathan & his brother helped us out a tons. They were able to cover all of the details and explain everything so clear. The quality of work they displayed was truly amazing. At the end of everything, the service that was created for my father and our family was more than we could ever expect. It was such an emotional and beautiful memory we were able to create together. My father would be so happy & appreciative of what we were able to accomplish with the help of Murphy & Sons Funeral Home. Thank you so much for making us feel so valued and special. I would highly recommend this company to bless other families. read more

From the beginning of our journey, Murphy and Sons were phenomenal. Jonathan, who took our initial phone call, was respectful, accommodating of our situation/timeline, and genuinely considerate of our state of mind. Upon our first meeting, Jonathan greeted our family openly and warmly-and we went as a group! He walked us through their process with such compassion and patience. We never felt like he was trying to upsell us or have us select something that didn't reflect our husband/dad's personality or our family's vision. He allowed us to be ourselves, which led to us freely sharing our beloved's precious wackiness and a few laughs-which, he says, he rarely hears at these meetings. Murphy and Sons were prompt, professional, and compassionate throughout all our services for our husband/dad. They helped coordinate the services with our Church and Cemetery teams, which made the process bearable and lightened the load for us. Jonathan and Edward were both easily accessible when we had questions and were generous with their time with us from start to finish. While we are saddened that we even needed their services to begin with, Murphy and Sons genuinely brought our family so much peace during this difficult time. We knew our husband/dad was handled with dignity, respect, and grace throughout the entire process, which was a great peace of mind for our family. Thank you, Jonathan, Edward, and Team! When we think back to this challenging time, we will never forget Murphy and Sons, and we will always remember you with a positive memory. Sincerely, The Pettertuo Family Vicky, Jacob, Jennifer, Brandon Andrew, Jade, Aaron & Brittni Loved Ones of David M. Petteruto (July/August 2024) read more

With gratitude I would like to thank you all for being so professional, kind, helpful, knowledgeable. A much needed source of strength and comfort as we made arrangements for our Mother's funeral. You guided us through every process, answering every phone call promptly and helped us during a very hard time. I would give you all an infinite amount of stars. We are so grateful for your help during every phase of this journey. Heartfelt thanks read more

I want to personally take the time to thank Jonathan Murphy and the rest of the family for the assistance they gave with my mom. From the start of the process all the way to the graveside, they were there every step of the way. When my mom passed, we had not secured a funeral home. I received the call at 4:30am that my mom passed. This was on Easter morning. Of course, I did not know who I would call as I did not have a meeting set up with another place until the upcoming Tuesday. The hospital recommended Murphy & Sons and that immediately called and took over. They were very professional and worked with us through the entire process. They made sure everything went so smooth. With all of the moving pieces that I had to deal with and worry about, they were not one of them. Thank you again Murphy & Sons Funeral Home!!! read more

We recently held a service for my mother in law. And from start to finish, we were extremely impressed with the work, process, communication and services provided. If i could give 6 stars, I would. Thank you Jonathan at Murphy and Sons. read more

Edward and Jonathan Murphy were super professional, very respectful and reasonably priced. I was pretty clear on what I wanted and they did not try to upsell on things that I did not want. My mother's funeral went off without a hitch. It was certainly a very difficult day for me but they made things a little better which is all that I could ask for. I need to stress that the venue (Mountain View Mausoleum in Altadena) that Murphy & Sons had access to is probably what really sold me. It felt like some church that you would run across in Europe. To say that it was special and out-of-the-ordinary is probably underselling it. I also loved that Murphy & Sons is a family business, being carried on by Edward and Jonathan after their father's passing. I love to support true local businesses and it is nice to see when the kids have carried on the legacy created by their father. read more

Murphy & Sons displayed exceptional professionalism, care and attention to detail. From the first meeting to the service, Jonathan and Edward were extremely approachable, empathetic to the situation, timely and professional. My mother was buried with every detail we requested and they both made sure we knew she was well taken care of. I never wanted to go through this as nobody does, but Murphy and Sons brought a peace that cannot adequately be described in words. At the burial service, they presented flower for each attendee to lay on the casket and lay final respects, which was a beautiful and very meaningful moment. I can highly recommend Murphy and Sons for any needs you may have. read more

My family and I would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to Murphy and Sons for their services upon the passing of our father. Although elderly, Dad passed away somewhat unexpectedly at home on a Sunday during the holidays. With all of emotions we were feeling at that time, we were left unprepared as to what to do. After calling Murphy and Sons, Jonathan immediately returned our call and made sure everything was taken care of from that point on. He, along with his brother Edward, was extremely professional, understanding, and compassionate. He guided us through the entire process taking the time to answer all of our questions. Although my review is overdue, it is no less sincere as time can help put things in perspective. I would highly recommend Murphy and Sons to anyone who experiences the loss of a loved one. read more

Murphy & Sons gave such incredible service and support from start to finish. We had such a hard time finding a funeral home to take my grandmother after her passing came unexpectedly especially during this pandemic. We contacted Murphy & Sons, and Johnathan put us at ease right away and told us he would help. Every step of they way he was patient and never hesitated to address our questions and concerns. He was very flexible and it truly felt like he was our friend. Johnathan was sympathetic and real, and we never felt pressured to buy anything, and he always gave us his honest opinion. The services they helped us put together were beautiful and will never be forgotten. We recommend Murphy & Sons to anyone considering them and plan to use them in the future. read more

Normally I don't give reviews on yelp but I had the need to inform others in the same situation I was in. This place is excellent with everything in the most difficult moments and adversaries. Just trust them and the process. They will do everything possible for your family in these hard moments and Pandemic times. You just have to be patient. I found this Funeral home looking around for hours after the Cemetery advised to look elsewhere because they didn't have availability in theirs after mid-March. My father passed away Jan 4th. The process was painful. I had no idea on what to do after calling various Funeral homes found this one. Edward Murphy was so helpful and comforting in my dark painful moments trying to understand something completely new to me (arranging my fathers services). Edward was so reassuring, calmed and detailed on the process if I went with their services. He explained to me that their services would all depend on the Cemeteries availability and it was going to be further weeks out. I wanted to get it done as soon as possible. Spoke to my siblings and decided to use Murphy and Sons. Once I agreed to them Jonathan Murphy took over the process. I can't say enough how grateful I am with both of them because they made the process a little less painful. Jonathan kept me informed on everything step by step. I understood it was going to be an agonizing process because I did not only have to deal with the fact my father passed but the hospital made it more difficult to release the body. I knew this because I also called to see what was the hold up. I knew everything that was going on in all its entire process because Jonathan kept me informed. I also understood that I was dealing with funeral arrangements during a PANDEMIC. The Murphy's did everything in their reach to help, but could only do so much. It took weeks to get him to them. I knew this because they kept me informed. I'm an inpatient person so knowing what was going on helped me cope with this. I wanted to put my fathers body to rest ASAP. I can't thank Jonathan enough for being that advocate my fathers body had in its moment. Once it was time to get his body from the hospital they asked me to provide a picture of my fathers to assure it was his body they would claim. I asked if I could see the body but was told politely that would not be able to do to the circumstances. Not once did I doubt the Murphy's judgment on what was right for my father. I provided everything they needed for my fathers service presentation. Murphy and Sons Funeral home is a place that genuinely treated my family and I with compassion and respect. It's a family owned business and I truly felt like I was part of their family in that moment. Services came and it was private and nice just like we hopped. My father looked good. They did very good my father looked like if he was sleeping. Murphy and Sons staff was so accommodating in everything possible from beginning to end. I would highly recommend them to anyone I know. I can't thank them enough for their efficiency and dedication to what they do. Close friends and family were so comforted and happy in the services they provided from beginning to end. **Once again thank you Jonathan, Edward and staff for doing an outstanding job with our family in the hard moments we faced. Businesses like yours is what makes a difference in others hard moments. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My family and I couldn't be more grateful to your services provided. You did an excellent job and will be thankful forever. read more

I recently lost my father in this pandemic. Did'nt know where to start. I called many funeral homes most of them were no longer accepting new families others would only go by appointments which were far out. I then called Murphy and Sons and was very fortunate to talk to Jonathan he was very patient with me having to explain what had happened with my father and how desperate I was looking for a safe and secured place for my loved one. Jonathan was able to see my sister and I the following day and he walked us through the whole process since this was are first time going through this. Jonathan did what he had promised took care of our father and was always giving us updates.The funeral services went very well very organized treated our family and loved ones with respect. Jonathan and co- workers were always on time to the church and Cemetary I strongly recommend Murphy and Sons Funeral Home if you were ever to need a loved one token care of. They know exactly what to do and they are always in communication with the families Thank you again for taking care of my Father. read more

Both of my geriatric parents passed away at their assisted living home within a month of each other and I was not prepared for the "final" arrangements. We owned a plot for burial, but that was about it. I started calling the big funeral homes. Every one of them dialed through to a call center where they were respectful, seemingly caring and as expensive as I thought they would be. None of them could answer all my questions and all gave me the message that if I hired them I would be assigned someone later I could ask questions of. As the end drew near for my mother, the hospice nurse informed me I needed to hire a mortuary within hours or my mother could be left unattended and almost abandoned should she pass before I hired a funeral home. The nurse, having worked with them before, suggested I call Murphy & Sons Funeral Home. Her experience with them had always been trouble free. I was told Murphy and Sons was responsive, patient and much lower in cost than the big funeral homes I had canvassed. I called Murphy & Sons. Edward, as in Edward Murphy, answered. There was no call center, no pretense, no lack of real sincerity and concern. Best of all, Edward was willing to answer in detail every question I asked. Edward's gentle demeanor and articulation made all the difference. Compared to the four other funeral homes I had called, there was no comparison. Edward seemingly offered me every convenience in setting up a meeting after I had decided he was the person to help my family. Edward was willing, without hesitation or added cost, to meet with me almost immediately and at any location including my home, even though I lived an hours' drive away for him. I chose to meet him the following day, a Sunday, at his office to sign the paperwork. On that initial phone call, Edward accepted my verbal authorization to proceed. Within minutes, the hospice nurse contacted me to confirm all the necessary arrangements were set and after my mother's passing Murphy & Sons would be there to receive her quickly with dignity. On top of my incredibly comforting first meeting with Edward, Murphy & Sons lived up to everything I was told by them to expect. The timing, the process, their competent reliability, they lived up to it all. And Murphy & Sons cost a third less than all the big funeral homes quoted. My father surprised us by suddenly passing away a month after my mother. Thanks to Edward and Murphy & Sons, the process was again completely without complications or worry. There was never an institutional feeling when working with Edward and his brother, Jonathon. I honestly felt their attention to detail and dignity towards the decedents showed an integrity and sincerity not too common anymore. Thank you, Edward and Jonathon. read more
