Leslie Saldivar went above and beyond making sure we were taken care of throughout the entire process. She communicated quickly and walked us through everything making sure we knew we weren't walking this journey alone. She showed us compassion and really helped us even with the last minute details and changes we had to make. There was a private room that we were able to use throughout the service which was nice. The place was clean and ready for us. We thank you for going above and beyond. Great value for peace of mind and making sure everything goes smoothly.

There were many positive things about working with Lighthouse, however, I believe there are areas…read moreof improvement as well. We selected this funeral home for our mother as she was under hospice care at our home in Gardena, so proximity was important as we hoped for a fairly swift process for picking her up upon passing. This was not the case, nor was the wait time accurately communicated. With young children in the home, it was very important to us that we were able to gauge this transition process and their miscommunication made it very hard. Their handling post-mortem seemed good. Their communication during the planning process was not the best, but manageable. Their process for hand-offs and coverage when someone is out was also challenging. As we approached the funeral date, we had questions about the services, her clothing delivery, etc. which I would have expected our primary contact person would have preemptively discussed with us, however we had to proactively reach out, leave messages, follow up, and finally was connected to someone able to assist. Their handling of our requests for special traditional dressing was handled with excellence and care! I cannot thank them enough for this. My mother looked so beautiful due to their team's execution of our wishes. The staff assigned during the both services were extremely helpful and caring. Their AV equipment is challenging to work with. While I was given options for the video montage, I had to meet with the director several hours before our service to troubleshoot it would project properly and the audio came through as expected. This took several tries and ultimately the options offered were not used. We connected my laptop to the system and projected from there. As mentioned, while we had a favorable experience for some aspects of this process, I would hope Lighthouse strongly works to improve certain areas of their service delivery considering this is a very difficult and vulnerable period for most people.

She was very aware of our emotions and matched our energy throughout the meeting.

Our Dad was a die hard Chivas fan, it was such a beautiful sight to see many of the staff wearing Chivas gear in honor of Dad. On behalf of my stepmom, siblings and myself, we appreciate and recommend Lighthouse Memorials & Receptions.

During one of the most difficult times in my life, Opal Cremation Services of Greater Los Angeles…read moreprovided an experience that was truly compassionate, seamless, and professional. My mother passed away two months ago, and navigating everything that comes with that loss felt overwhelming. From the very beginning, their team made the entire process feel straightforward and manageable. They were incredibly respectful, responsive, and handled every detail with care and dignity. One thing that really stood out to me was their pricing. Everything was clearly laid out upfront, all-inclusive, and exactly as quoted--no hidden fees, no surprise add-ons. After dealing with other companies where costs kept creeping up, this level of transparency was such a relief. It allowed us to focus on honoring my mom instead of worrying about unexpected expenses. What stood out most overall was how easy they made everything during such an emotional time. There was no confusion, no added stress--just clear communication and genuine support when it mattered most. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Opal Cremation Services of Greater Los Angeles to anyone going through this process. They truly bring peace of mind when you need it the most.

Immediately after the passing of my stepfather, we needed to locate a cremation service…read more Subsequently, I called at least 5 different companies, including 2 that have name's associated with the sea (you can figure it out). I could not believe that during my initial calls, that only two of the businesses seemed compassionate and offered condolences for our loss. I know it seems silly, but what terrible business practice not to be compassionate during one of the most difficult times for a family. Well one of the only two businesses to offer not only compassion, but exemplified the meaning of compassion and professionalism was LA Cremation. I initially called on a Sunday morning. Within a few minutes, my call was returned and we were immediately greeted with their condolences and a complete rundown of their services. This was all delivered compassionately without feeling like a sales pitch. The representative then set up a telephone conference for the following morning with the counselor that would be working directly with us. The following morning, I received a call from Daisy, who was amazing. She was incredibly kind, thoughtful, compassionate and extremely professional. Daisy provided incredible concierge service and assisted us in every step of the way. She consistently remained in contact with us throughout the entire process and provided up with updates. Lastly, the cost with LA Cremation was less than half of what was quoted to me by the cremation company that rhymes with "autotune." Overall, I cannot express how pleased we have been with LA Cremation and Daisy. Thank you Daisy for helping us though this difficult time.

She gave my family and me the time and space we needed to grieve while she took care of all the details surrounding the services. Throughout the entire process, Sonia communicated clearly, kept us informed, and made sure everything was handled with care and professionalism. Her compassion and dedication truly made a difficult experience a little easier for our family. I would highly recommend Sonia to anyone in need of funeral services. We are extremely grateful for everything she did for our family during such a difficult time.

We selected a head stone (in the ground). Three months later we were notified it was ready. We were informed our parents urn would be placed in a concrete vault and sealed. They asked for urn dimensions which we provided. The day of the burial the urn would not fit in the concrete vault so they just turned the urn sideways and sealed. Our parents are on their sides! The lid barley fit and the seal had gaps. We were in shock! But just so tired we all just walked away after the service. The manger who is horrible called to tell us that sometimes happens. I hung up on him. This place needs to be investigated!!!!! FYI: Ground keeper Marco was awesome

During the intake Cynthia walked us very patiently, compassionately, and thoroughly through every detail and aspect of planning mom's services and in coordination with the church and the cemetery. Along the way she was very easy and accessible to communicate with and did her best to modify and accommodate different requests we had. Ramiro and Andres, we couldn't have asked for better staff to work with us during mom's vigil and at graveside. True compassionate genuine professionals. It made our experience everything we hoped for, to honor our mother's life. We would recommend working with this team without any hesitation. Thank you all for your suppprt during this time of loss and transition. During the wake and vigil Ramiro and Andres were especially cognizant and sensitive to any needs of myself and my family and our guests. If water was low they were quick to replenish. They thoughtfully consulted with me and my sister about the timing of closing mom's casket and whether we wanted to see her again at the end of the night privately. At graveside, they walked us through the steps for the pallbearers to carefully transport mom from hearse to vault, and they also offered to help carry mom in case we were short a pallbearer. Same conscientiousness at the church during mass. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the whole team at Funeraria Del Angel Wilmington!
