I dealt with Cindy and she was very helpful with each step in the process, which made this one less thing I had to worry about.

I highly recommend American Cremation Services.

Not knowing where to start we heard of InvoCare thru a friend that had used them before. We didn't know what to except. I must admit the process with InvoCare was painless and easy thanks to the customer service we receive from Andrea Limon and Oscar. We were all very impressed, it really was AMAZING!!! They went above and beyond!!! They REALLY DO care about people, and understand what "we" (the customers) are going thru. For them it's not just another "body", they know that this is one of our loved ones and understand that this is a very hard thing for us to do, and they totally sympathize with their customers. I really hope you won't need their services any time soon. But if you do, I HIGHLY recommend InvoCare. You will get EXCELLENT customer service!!

My father was on hospice for a short while at home, and died in the early morning hours. The hospice team called Invocare at about 6a.m. and the drivers were at our home by before 9a.m. (rush hour traffic in Los Angeles in the mix)... they were gracious and loving with my father's remains as we all continured to say our goodbyes (even draped his body with an American Flag - as my father was a Veteran). The funeral and internment was handled in the same exact way that we had it set up with the "traditional mortuary" people (for my mother's funeral/internment four years prior). My sister and brother and I planned our "celebration of life" with the help of Elena and it turned out just beautifully. Our family and friends are still talking about how wonderful my dad's celebration of life was that day! My father and mother decided they wanted to be cremated to save on costs as well as just the overalll issue of continued grief over their remains...so... If you or your loved one(s) are planning for cremation over traditional burial, I recommend that you call Elena Vasquez and InvoCare. Not only will you save 50% or more, you will receive the kind of care and support you deserve during a very hectic and sad time. It's never easy to go through losing a loved one, I guarantee Elena and InvoCare will be there to support you. They will also contiue to follow up with grief counseling (their chaplain called me 3 times to "check on me!")... for one year (I think maybe like 15 months?) after your loved one has passed. They just emailed me an ebook that I plan to read - another follow up to see how I was doing on my first father's day without Dad. I love love love InvoCare!

The mortuary also has a chapel and dining area so you can hold services and a reception on site. The whole family/team at Bravo were great and provide an outstanding experience. 10/10 recommend.

This was the first time our family had ever had to arrange a funeral, and we really didn't know what to expect or how to properly handle everything according to Vietnamese Buddhist traditions. Ms. Uyen patiently guided us every step of the way with kindness, compassion, and understanding. She helped coordinate the funeral arrangements, worked with the temple and the monks, and made sure our father's service was beautiful, respectful, and meaningful. Even when we had questions or needed to make changes, Ms. Uyen was always patient and did everything she could to accommodate our family. What touched us most was her help in arranging for our father's ashes to be kept at the temple for two years, which was something he had wished for while he was still alive. Knowing that his final wish could be fulfilled brought our family tremendous comfort and peace. The funeral turned out beautifully, and we could not have asked for a more meaningful farewell for our father. Ms. Uyen, on behalf of my mother and our entire family, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, patience, and everything you did for our father and our family. We will always remember and appreciate what you did for us. Hung Vu & Family

She was so nice and genuinely caring about it all. The price was more than reasonable compared to another place we were about to use.

Hours after my father passed away, I went straight to California Cremation and Burial as my first choice and didn't regret a bit. Jorge was kind, professional and very honest as far as the monetary amount for the services requested. Their price package was very reasonable compared to the other mortuary around the city. He was very straight forward and never offered extra services that we don't need. He was very knowledgeable on the process with regards to the transfer of remains from the US to overseas. He was able to provide a date for my Dad's visitation service that was convenient to all family members. After we talked and agreed on the services we requested, he was up and running taking custody of my dad from the hospital morgue within an hour. He also posted my Dad's obituary in their website that same day. He was in constant contact, giving me updates and needed documents to facilitate acquisition of his death certificate from the county which he obtained a week after my Dad's passing. I was very impressed of how quick that process went through. Regarding the visitation service, Manuel (Service Attendant) did an outstanding job having my Dad ready at the Chapel at the scheduled time. He was very kind and compassionate to all family members and guests who attended. Reverend Jesse Lopez also performed an outstanding job for his part during the service. The chapel, kitchen and dining area were clean and neat. Family members and guests were impressed with the whole facility. The service proceeded smoothly as planned. Overall, On behalf of my family, we are very satisfied, thankful and grateful from the outstanding staff of California Mortuary and Burial for the outstanding services they have provided. I highly recommend them to family and friends if they ever need their services in the future. Respectfully, Arthur D.

I made a list of approximately 30 places for Mom's cremation and started calling (Closest to home first). I understand I am calling a business, but I was treated like another everyday customer at 7-11. After reaching 15 other places, I called Care Center Cremation & Burial. The first person I spoke with was a lovely young lady named Megan; she was soft-spoken and kind. Megan then transferred me to Megan Ruana; she talked to me with kindness, compassion, and understanding. Megan R. made me feel like we were family and she truly cared. I immediately knew this was where I wanted to take my mother. The next step was to go in and sign all the paperwork. It's overwhelming, but Megan R. was patient and allowed me time to be a mess. Megan R. called me and emailed me with every update. When it came time to pick up Mom's ashes, Megan told me to bring in Mom's final resting place, and she would transfer Mom's ashes. I was later gifted an urn necklace, and Megan said bring it in, and I'll transfer some of Mom's asked to the necklace, too. When picking up Mom and the necklace, I was fortunate enough to meet the owner. Now I understand why this company is run so well. He is a kind man with a great sense of humor, and he is wonderful to his employees. I wish I could give them 100 stars because they went above and beyond.
