Today is a year since my son in law passed away and we used Community Funeral Services .I am giving…read morethem a 2 star because we chose them , they sold it well. To start the elder lady we dealt with made it sound like she would take care of everything .. but honestly she forgot everything , I had to call her to get updates on what was going on and she never knew she always had to call us back , we talked many times and every time we talked she act like she didn't know us and she had to look for his file and would get back to us! I had to do the foot work , I had to finally find the place to have his services . It was during covid so it was hard to find a place that was big enough to have so many people . So I found a place that would have it outside but that's what I paid them to do ! This is just part of it . Than she tells us we have to pay extra for them to fix him up , it's like playing dress up with your dolls were her exact words , because they might have to do extra to fix him up if it's bad .. we paid extra and we just got a basic report from coroners NOT a full autopsy and they NEVER refunded us for that LIKE THEY SAID !! So prior to the day of the funeral , I told the lady I if there would be a tv I can play a video on and table for flowers and pedestal for his big picture . we get there it's under a tent in the parking lot which she told me it would be outside under a tent because of covid but not in a parking lot !The funeral director guy is there that I never met before and he act like it was his first day on the job ! There was no tv for our video there was no music, there was no pedestal . I was livid , and my daughter is a wreck ! We had the services at white memorial in uptown Whittier but they have nothing to do with it , we went through this unprofessional company that rents out these places so it's up to this Community funerals to make sure everything is done !Has nothing to do with the place which if I would have known better I would have went through white memorial myself and not used a 3rd party ! Ok so he brought out a pedestal and than I ask him where are the flowers , 3 people from the funeral came to me and said there flowers weren't there so he disappeared again looking for the flowers and they were delivered with the funeral that was before ours !! Unheard of ! So they delivered them after the funeral to us at my brothers house where we had the reception ! So because the funeral guy is running around nobody directed the funeral l! The pastor came out to talk and sang, he was great , thank God for him ! But nobody said when it was time for people to come up and view , I had to find the guy to tell people to come up and view him . It was sooo unprofessional and so embarrassing! Now back to the prayer cards I paid for ! Well the funeral service guy forgot them !So by the time they got there the funeral was over and people had already left . ThanknGod we had made prayer cards from another company also with his picture on it . I have never ever ever heard of this happening , this day should have been without stress of the arrangements considering g we were already going through hell , my daughter lost her husband , her best friend , my grand daughter lost her dad , an amazing man that stepped up to be her dad and he deserved sooo much more than this !! We never even got an apology until I emailed the owner man which I never even met through the whole process ! But I did email him after a couple of months because after the funeral it was hectic I moved my daughter and grand daughter back in with me . My only regret besides using this place was not writing a review so others can know what we went through , I know things happen and I am first to let things go but not this many mistakes and not on such an important day . I made sure my daughter didn't have to worry about all this but I didn't even get to grieve my son In law in this day because I was too busy chasing around the funeral director guy . Today is a year he passed and I won't let another day go by without writing my review.

I felt so comfortable knowing Harold would be there with us every step of the way . The time of passing came I called Harold and he said when you are ready to release her from our home call me back and we will come . They came two young men in suits . As they entered my room they asked by her name, if they should cover her face as they took her out of my room, or just cover her like she was sleeping ! I was so amazed at the thoughtfulness of their question. She was gently and quietly removed from my room . She was placed in the van . Peacefully, our hearts watched her leave our hill as tradition goes we wave till you are out of view - the attendants honored our sister by slowing as they made the turn from view ,in life it's the simple things, that meant so much !

We were "helped" by a woman named Fabiola who had one of the worst attitudes we've ever…read moreencountered. We were asking simple questions regarding assistance for my mother-in-law's funeral and she acted like we were bothering her. She couldn't provide us any information, couldn't get us help from anyone else, and kept dumping us on hold for no reason. This was ridiculous and completely unacceptable, especially while we're grieving and trying to get basic support. The lack of empathy, professionalism, and basic customer service was shocking. No family going through something this difficult should have to deal with that kind of treatment. I would not recommend dealing with this place at all.

Chavez Funeral &Cremation delivered reliability, assertiveness & expedited our request. A reputable foundation nonetheless.

Excellent, well done. Cons: Some reviews say that This organization doesn't get back in time. I totally can understand the frustration(under the circumstances) however a simple call and text to, friendly remind Sonia or her staff will solve that miscommunication. Any organization can get backed up or busy but I can assure you it's an easy fix. Atleast it worked for me. Best.

I…read moreremembered Funeraria del Angel Anaheim when I attended a friends viewing a few years back and I decided to get their services. I was so glad I did. It was one of the best decisions I have made in my entire life. My contact person was Marisol. I was so confused and did not know anything on how to bring my mom back here in California. Marisol was very calm, very patient, very professional and guided me through the entire process. From start to finish, (dealing with the funeral home in the Phils, picking up my mom's remains in the airport, dealing with the life insurance company and the cemetery, filing the permits, even the reception room was personalized with my mom's favorite color, etc) Marisol and the entire staff - Lilia, Daniel, Jessica showed genuine empathy and a high degree of professionalism, delivering a flawless and dignified service. Their patience and care really meant a lot to me and the whole family. They never left us. We never felt hurried or just another 'client' . We felt that we are their 'family'. They were there until my moms burial in the cemetery. Words and money will never be enough to repay the empathy, patience and support that the staff gave us during this difficult time. We are deeply thankful and will never forget what you have done and how you made us all feel during this entire process. We love you guys. - Grace M and the whole Carcellar Family

We are grateful for the kind staff at Brea Memory Garden Memorial Park and Mortuary. We do wish the…read morefacility would've been a little better cared for and the operations just a little more professional. Leslie was so sweet and soft spoken I actually wished for a little more brusque professionalism. However, I overheard someone else's similar intake conversation with a different associate and was glad for Leslie's competence. She answered most of our questions easily and was able to find the answers she didn't immediately know. When we walked the grounds on our own to see if and where we might want to bury our daughter, we were stopped by one of the groundskeepers to ask if we needed help finding or tending a grave. He was so kind and we were amazed by his care and attention. When we decided to use their cremation services instead, we were quoted certain pricing over the phone (by Linda) that they were, ultimately and unfortunately, not willing to honor. I didn't have the heart to quibble over $75 when I was mourning the loss of my daughter, so we let it slide. During the intake conversation it seemed Leslie was obligated to show us their showroom even though we told her we would be making the urn. She wasn't rude. Just made us aware that we would be seeing the showroom before we left (even though we didn't need it). Still, she didn't hound us to purchase anything or choose any particular options. Also during the intake conversation, there was a service in session in the connected chapel. There was chanting and incense and it carried strongly into the connected funeral home and offices. It gave us both headaches from the strength of the noise and scent. So we wish the offices were kept a little more separate to avoid the discomfort. The funeral home itself is so charming, but in definite disrepair. It's a colonial establishment and theme and we both loved it. However, the carpet is rippled, the walls and baseboards have gouges and dings, and the bathrooms are old and dirty. I absolutely loved the atrium space with the fountain and flowers. I spent most of my time looking out the windows at the atrium while we waited for the paperwork to be copied and verified. The small but beautiful atrium soothed my soul. We chose to attend the cremation. Leslie walked us back and the crematory manager, Eric, met us and explained the process. It was 96 degrees outside and the room didn't have air conditioning so everyone was uncomfortable. But Eric still wore his suit coat and didn't rush us. Told us to take as much time as we needed. He handed me tissues when I was overwhelmed and the told stories to try to raise my spirits. I understood the kindness and empathy and generosity of spirit behind his actions. We ultimately waited in the lobby for the duration of the cremation. This is where we found out that a lot of business is conducted out in the lobby for anyone to witness. That was the unprofessional part. I even hate to mention it because the staff was always so compassionate toward us. But the business should've been handled elsewhere. We got to hear everyone's personal business. The manager came and spent some time with us again while we waited and told more stories and really showed such kindness and compassion. When we picked up her ashes, the manager met us again and brought her ashes out himself and spent more time chatting and making sure we were happy with the way things turned out that were within our control. Overall, I would recommend Brea Memory Garden Memorial Park and Mortuary. I wouldn't hesitate to say that it's not the most professional establishment, but the employees are good and compassionate people. Eric is so kind. I'd also mention the funeral home is in a bit of disrepair. However, the grounds are peaceful and pleasant and have been in great repair each time we've visited.
