When an immediate death in the family happens the family members are distraught, stressed out with the arrangements among their sorrow and everything else. Olive Tree Mortuary took everything on so that we didn't have to worry about anything.

I definitely recommend them, they are there 24/7 and will respond to you as soon as you call. Hands down the best you can ask for.

As a side note, their prices are very affordable as well.

This very same day, only hours later, I met with Liana to go over my Dad's previously decided wishes. (Please do this for your loved ones)!!! Thankfully my Dad had much of his pre needs already figured out and paid for, but Liana was so kind and helpful to myself and my Mom when we were at our very worst. I left the office feeling confident that we did all the right things in a very unfortunate situation. I called and emailed Liana with a ton of questions and she always responded quickly and was so incredibly kind. I felt like she was part of my family after working with her. I would also like to give a shoutout to Patty for being so friendly and welcoming to myself and my family. We had Dad's service there this past week and I have to say it went even better than I had expected. The staff went above and beyond for my family. Ashley helped assist with my Dad's memorial table and honestly- it took my breath away. Everyone at the service commented on how beautiful it was and I was so thankful that it went so smoothly. I cannot thank the team here enough for the comfort and kindness they showed myself and my family when we were at our very lowest.

Now 2026, June our mom passed away again no memorial plans made so here we are again having to go back and start from beginning to end to get our mom cremated with the help with the two lovely ladies ( please forgive me for forgetting their names ) my sister Debbie is better w names I am better w details . We had a different experience this time , electronic visual screen to pick what we wanted . Being we had been through this with our dad we knew exactly what we wanted and what we didn't want . We had already bought our mom's urn so that was taken care of . The only thing this time that was a bit disappointing to both of us was , they sent our mom's body to the main Fair Haven in Orange they called Santa Ana and when we were told this we were a bit taken back as we specifically paid and chose THIS location as this is where our dad was cremated . We were told they don't do enough cremations out in Mission Viejo and we would have had to specify we wanted her cremated here, wait what ?? How would we know this ? Anyhow I told my sister ? All this while we are already a mess and grieving, mom doesn't know and it's just her vessel ) I told them it's something YOU should disclose as most everyone thinks if you chose MV your loved one is getting cremated in MV and staying in MV not going to SA and possibly getting mixed up with someone else etc. Everything else went great the timing was fast and you could tell they care . Thank you and we will have our own cremations set up with you but hopefully at MV if possible.

I found Anubis and called, unsure if they would service the Orange County area. Absolutely everyone we spoke with at Anubis was very considerate and very accommodating. It was the Friday before Memorial Day so it took a while to get to Orange County. They carefully transferred my Mom to their vehicle. They were very responsive to all of our questions and really made the whole process much easier than I thought it would be. We really appreciated that as we were still trying to process our Mom's passing. They're the best! They arranged a meeting point midway between Glendale and where we lived in Orange County to transfer our urns to us. I highly, highly recommend Anubis.

I advised I would be purchasing additional urns for family members, they offered to fill them for me. Followed up by Heath for scheduling when the process was completed and ready to be returned to our family. Heath arranged a hand delivery from an extremely nice young man named Chris.

El Toro Memorial Park, is a cemetery tucked back off of Trabuco Road. This is a somewhat small but…read morenot too small cemetery in Lake Forest. I've been here many times visiting my relatives who have passed away. The chapel is right as you enter the high gates. The cemetery, is very well kept, clean, beautiful and quiet. In the last several years they've remodeled and cleaned up the public restroom. I haven't been in the small chapel so I can't speak to that. I also can't speak to the cost of having family buried here since I married into the family, but knowing them, this is probably a financially cost effective place to bury a loved one, while still being in a beautiful location. Not bashing, they're just good about being conscious of cost without compromising on their money's worth. The cemetery is surrounded by a park at the back end, apartments one side, houses on another, and a Catholic Church. This place has nice hills of green grass. They don't have a lot of upright headstones and it likely changed to in-ground headstones only after a certain year, because you don't see anything but very old ones standing erect. There are a good amount of trees, however, I wish they actually had more, particularly the very back end where it is flat and sits below a park. That area sits under full sun and visiting our loved ones back there can get super hot without relief. Many people have picnics and spend the day with their loved ones. You'll always see a lot of flowers laid out by the many visitors. I like this cemetery because it's not too big. It feels more homey and comfortable, much better than a large cemetery such as Forrest Lawn. I think you would like this place for a loved one if you ever had to bury them here. It really is quite peaceful.

We recently entrusted them with our grandfather's funeral, and from beginning to end, the level of compassion and care we received was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Our coordinator, Joanna, was absolutely phenomenal. She walked beside our family through an incredibly difficult process with patience, grace, sincerity, and compassion. She listened to what mattered to us and helped make Grandpa's service feel personal and worthy of the life he lived. Our funeral hostesses, Natalie and Amanda, were wonderful. They were attentive without ever being intrusive and seemed to know exactly when our family needed something. Their calm, caring presence allowed us to stop worrying about details and simply concentrate on our family and Grandpa. Pastor Scott spoke beautifully. His warmth and sincerity brought comfort during an incredibly emotional service, and we are so grateful for the role he played in honoring Grandpa. There is one part of our experience that I especially want to acknowledge because these individuals often work quietly behind the scenes--the mortician and care team who prepared Grandpa. When we saw him, one thought immediately meant everything to us: Grandpa looked like Grandpa. He looked peaceful. He looked comfortable. He looked completely at rest. Anyone who has lost someone they deeply love understands how important that final memory can be. The person who prepared our grandfather did an exceptional job of making him look natural and like himself. Seeing Grandpa looking so peaceful brought our family a tremendous amount of comfort. We may never know the name of the person responsible, but I sincerely hope this review reaches them. Your work did not go unnoticed. Thank you for the dignity, gentleness, skill, and care you gave our grandfather. What you did mattered deeply to our family. That sentiment really describes our entire experience with O'Connor Mortuary. We never felt like another customer or another service on a schedule. We felt cared for. To Joanna, Natalie, Amanda, Pastor Scott, the mortician and care team, and everyone else who helped care for our grandfather and our family--thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You helped transform one of our family's most painful days into a beautiful and dignified celebration of Grandpa's life. We will never forget the kindness you showed us, and I would recommend O'Connor Mortuary without hesitation to any family faced with the difficult responsibility of saying goodbye to someone they love. Truly exceptional people providing an extraordinary level of care.
