    Beautiful memorial park. Beautiful and comfortable seating in their Memorial Hall / Reception area, with ample clean bathrooms and complementary water bottles. Their prices have sky rocketed over the years, but for the quality, the impeccable maintenance work, and the always friendly service, it's a great place for the burial / memorial service for your loved ones.

    April is a busy month for Chinese families annually as the memorial day usually falls in this time. It is a bit of a trek from the City so weekend mornings are probably the best time to visit. My uncle and aunt are here. Growing close to them in their latter years, an annual trip here to remember them is a must for me. Unlike most predominantly Chinese cemeteries, this is further south in San Mateo, near highway 92 to the west. Though I have their plot location section memorized, I always have a difficult time in finding their location. The main reason is that there are no upright tombstones as the information stones are lay flat (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=jduntdr2RaoCD6sviTNj0g&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). The nice part of this site is that it is on the quiet side and you don't get the crowds or rush of people parking their vehicles all over the place in varying directions. Another nice aspect is that there is a view on some sections of the cemetery overlooking the valley below ()https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Q1dC0TiwHBZOri40C_QI7w&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q. The grounds are well kept as I didn't see any random trash in the section that I walked. Nor did I see dead flowers or planters scattered around like some of the places north of here. With most of the places filling up in Colma, I've noticed that they've built an Asian themed section uphill from my relatives' section (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=mck7TrMPNlVJ0BUUGUrqjw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). I still miss my uncle and aunt and wish I got to know them better while they were still here. Take care and please note that you are remembered by loved ones here. Thank you, Skylawn, for making a visit here seamless.

We came back to use this venue because the service was amazing and it still is if not more. We met with Gus to plan and he was absolutely helpful, sympathetic, and very communicative throughout the whole planning. Come day of, Rick and Kina were absolutely wonderful. They made sure everything was on track and organized. Checked in on us here and there to see if we needed anything. We were running a lil behind but Rick was very patient and understanding. Come to the crematory, we could've have asked for more. The person running it, I think his name is Ron, was very respectful, empathetic and truly kind. Our whole experience with Sneider Sullivan & O'Connell was truly wonderful. They didn't treat us like customers. They treated us like a family and we are so grateful for that.

From the very beginning, they were flexible, responsive, and deeply empathetic to our family's needs. They offered wonderful tools to honor our loved one's memory, including the ability to upload photos and videos to create a beautiful slideshow with music. We were also impressed by how technically capable they are, even providing a live stream of the service so friends and family who couldn't attend in person were still able to be part of it. Gus, our main contact, was incredible throughout the process--he reached out at just the right times to check if we needed anything, and helped keep us on track with what needed to be done without ever making us feel pressured. During the funeral service itself, Rigo was our host and showed such kindness and attentiveness, helping everything run smoothly that evening. Losing someone is never easy, but Sneider Sullivan & O'Connell's made a difficult time much lighter with their compassion and thoughtful support. We cannot thank them enough.

    I cannot thank the team at Honor Cremation enough for the care they showed my family during my…read moremom's cremation and memorial process. Losing a parent is incredibly hard, but they handled everything with such a high level of dignity and grace that it truly eased some of the burden for us. Communication: From the very first call, I felt heard and supported. They were incredibly patient with all of my questions and kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind. The Process: I found their approach to be very modern, transparent, and straightforward. There was never any pressure or "salesy" feeling, just genuine empathy and a focus on what my mother and our family needed. The Memorial: They helped us navigate the details for her memorial with so much respect. Everything was handled professionally, allowing us to focus on honoring her memory rather than worrying about the logistics. I am so grateful to have had their guidance during this time. If you are looking for a team that treats your loved ones with true honor and provides a seamless, compassionate experience, I cannot recommend them highly enough. I also really appreciated the honesty in their business model. I know it could technically be cheaper if they did every single thing in-house, but they intentionally use outside sources for certain steps to ensure everything is handled by specialists. I actually felt like I got more value this way because I knew I was getting the best possible care at every stage. It's also worth noting for other families that they don't have an embalming service; they focus purely on a dignified, natural process which was exactly what we wanted for my mom. I am so grateful to have had their guidance during this time. If you are looking for a team that treats your loved ones with true honor and provides a seamless, compassionate experience, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Honor Cremation, for taking such wonderful care of my mom.

Customer service: 5/5 Value: 3.5/5 Execution: 5/5 From a service standpoint, they excellent. The team is available 24 hours via phone and text. For the majority of my work with them, they were extremely responsive, had good pass downs between shifts and team members, and worked to meet all our needs and timelines. They never pressured us into anything or upsold us. They just wanted to support whatever we needed. My family needed an expedited cremation and memorial all within a week of my family member passing and Honor Cremations was able to make that happen and get the paperwork done with the county in that timeframe. Honor's paid casket option was cheaper than other crematories and was a very nice, presentable casket. Honor does not embalm in house but has embalming providers they can work with. The only reason I would hesitate to select Honor again is because other crematories were more cost effective (up to $1000 cheaper for our package selections), but Honor did what they could to reduce costs and provide flexible options and offerings. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others if service and empathy is a top priority.
