It made a hard time enjoyable to uncover the whole event. Her patience and understanding of the loved ones is special and she all about making a statement for the families lost one. It was such a fun process to choose all my Dad's coffin accessories and urn. She worked with the local church to get things ready in such a short time which was an absolute miracle. The viewing the space the staff were super respectful and professional. What a humbling business and establishment. The day we took my Dad's coffin in the Hurst to the church with Paul Barer assistance white glove placement was a memorable experience. Way to go Duggan's Mortuary. On behalf of myself and family we want to say Thank you for running a fantastic business. I'm sure my Dad is looking down from heaven as a proud member of Duggan's Mortuary. He was even featured on their website to allow friends and family to see his viewing schedule. My Dad was remembered as a loving father of 3, loyal loving husband, a man of God and a Cold Filipino Chef who provided cooking for entire family for decades. We love you Angela and Salute to you and what you do for our Country. I highly recommend this place.

The staff at Chapel of the Highlands went above and beyond for me and my family. I believe the…read morefirst time I attended a service there, I was around seven years old. Being part of a large, multi-generational family, I have unfortunately found myself attending services there at least once a year for much of my life. As an adult, I've had the responsibility of taking a more hands-on role in funeral planning, and I'd like to share three experiences. The first was for my uncle--while not related by blood, he was absolutely family. There was significant family drama leading up to the service, including a grandchild sending threatening messages. When the staff became aware of the situation, they handled it with professionalism and care, arranging for support to be on standby if needed. Thankfully, it wasn't necessary, but Paul was fully prepared to take care of it. The second experience was a little over a year ago, when I was making arrangements for my own mother. Paul, the owner, sat with me through the process. He and his staff were incredibly professional and compassionate. Paul made sure I understood all my options and gently reminded me to take my time--he made it clear he was there for me, without rushing me at all. The third experience was about two months ago, when I was there in my professional capacity as a minister. I was asked to support a husband making arrangements for his wife. I watched as a man, in deep grief, struggled to process what was being said. For the first time, I wasn't the family member making decisions--I was observing. The staff at Chapel of the Highlands handled everything with patience, professionalism, and genuine care. Walking through these difficult moments is never easy, but it brings comfort knowing that Paul leads a team that is caring, hardworking, and professional. While I wish I never had to return under such circumstances, I know I will continue to trust and recommend their services to anyone going through such a difficult time.

Yesterday, I had a terrible experience at Chapel of the Highlands in Millbrae. I arrived around…read morethree in the afternoon to visit my mother, who was to be buried the following day (today). Nick H and an unidentified female office clerk were unfriendly, unprofessional, and disrespectful. The facility was messy and unorganized, and the employees appeared unkempt. When I finally got to see my mother, I was horrified to see how she looked. Her face was not my mom. Her clothing was completely different from what she would normally wear. There was a scarf around her neck that seemed to be hiding something. I was so upset by the time they finished arguing that I couldn't see my mother. I felt like I couldn't properly say goodbye to her. It turned out that my siblings had an unannounced visit planned with my mother that they didn't want me to attend. The office girl apologized several times to me, for making a "terrible mistake" by telling me about the 5 p.m. viewing. But it wasn't the mistake of telling me about the viewing; it was the mistake of not letting me see my mother when I arrived and then making me stay in the lobby, telling me I couldn't see her. I would never, never, ever recommend this place, and I believe both Nick H and the office clerk should be fired immediately. **************************************************** Thank you for your response, Paul Larson. I understand that you may not agree with my review, but I encourage you to focus on the actions of your staff. I arrived at 3:00 PM and was informed that the viewing would be at 5:00 PM, which I accepted. However, when I returned at the scheduled time, I was denied the opportunity to see my mother and was asked to leave. This was extremely distressing. I made it clear that I would have contacted the police if I had not been allowed to see her. Nick H. asked me to state that I would not call the police, but I want to be clear--I would have done so if necessary. This situation was unacceptable. She is my mother, and I have every right to see her. I also find it inappropriate that your response focused on criticizing me and referencing my family rather than addressing the issue at hand. Please stop talking about my family--you have no right to do so. You don't understand our dynamics, and it's not your place to comment. Your attempts to address the situation were unhelpful and based on inaccurate assumptions about me. I stand by 1 Star.

The day we brought my dad home Reuben was kind and respectful and walked us to our car.

I know she must deal with a lot of people like that but it's normal to be histeric about where you will put your loved one, let alone a sibling. Otherwise, smooth. We didn't do a service as we don't have much family here. I did find that they put a "neighbor" too close to ours. Not even a foot difference. And plenty of space to the other sides. Not a fan of that. Wish they could scoot it over a bit so we have more space for our activities. Every other stone is fairly spaced like a foot except ours. Since then we come throughout the year and the facilities are always clean and can go use the restroom and get some snacks when open. I wish they'd update the hours so we know we can come use the restroom when we visit.

I was reminded of this task now as my uncle has recently passed and his funeral service will also be held here. Our main contact was Polly who was amazing to work with! It was a very emotional time for our family and she guided us step-by-step on all of the Chinese traditions to consider, such as the blankets placed in the coffin, paper products to burn at the cemetery and candy/money packets. She also offered suggestions such as a photo slideshow. The service went beautifully. If you need funeral services, I highly recommend Golden Hill funeral services.

My brother is buried at Skylawn memorial park in one of the less expensive areas. When we made the…read morearrangements, we were told that the area would be maintained just like the other sections of the cemetery. Unfortunately, that has not been our experience. The condition of the area where my brother is buried has been disappointing and, in our experience, does not receive the same level of care and maintenance if any as other areas of the cemetery. As a family, it's heartbreaking to visit the final resting place of someone we love and feel that his grave is being neglected. Choosing a less expensive burial location should not mean that a loved one receives less dignity, care or respect after they are laid to rest. Every family deserves to feel that their loved one's resting place is cared for, regardless of what they could afford. I am extremely disappointed with the staff here. I worked with Nena Ortiz and at first it felt like I had found a friend through this difficult time in my family lives but it has turned out that she was just after the commission. I have tried to get in contact with Nena with what seems like a hundred times to get the situation fixed and I either get yeah I will talk to someone and get it fixed or I get she's not available. So once they take your money you can forget about them treating you and your loved one with respect. I regret burying my loved one here

I would definitely recommend Garden Chapel to my family and friends. They are not only in it for financial gain, but they truly care about your experience with them. To put icing on the cake, we were sent a card in remembrance of my Mom's one year death anniversary. It was such a nice touch and really encouraged me to write this review.
