Old school cemetery
Franklin M.

We were at the cicLAvia bicycle event down the street and I stopped by to visit this cemetery. I love visiting old cemeteries to see the artwork on the tombstones. The only downside was that the old markers are laying down and not standing up. This had to happen recently in the last few decades and this makes it easier to maintain the grass but takes away from the character.

Wilmington's front gate. The cemetery's surrounded by freight containers and a trainyard, and noisy streets.

Brandon D. was going through Find-A-Grave when he discovered his grandfather had a twin who died at two months of age and was buried in Wilmington. At the same time many of his Croatian relatives were laid to rest there, and he wanted to find them. So we went for a visit today. Discovered we can't drive onto the little road that goes through the cemetery when a maintenance person nearly collided into us with his truck. He ran over the headstones and yelled that we have to park in the street and walk in. So we did. Gate was open and there are no signs saying vehicles aren't allowed. The grass is mostly dead and splintery and just exposed dirt in several areas. The cemetery is surrounded by railroad tracks and stacked shipping containers. Cranes, engines, and other mechanisms were constantly revving so it's not a particularly peaceful graveyard. Stones that looked to be previously standing are now laying flat in the ground (probably to make it easier for mowing). There were four different men in the office/garage and none could tell us where we might locate the graves we were looking for from the plot numbers we gave them. Ended up spending a couple hours walking around in the sun. Not a lot of shade here. Some of the graves date into the mid-1800s. Notable interments are members of Phineas Banning's family, including several of his children that didn't survive into adulthood. Banning's house is almost a stone's throw from Wilmington Cemetery. The only reason to visit is if you know someone who's here or you're just that interested in the occasional old grave you might see.

The entire staff, from Tom Jr. to the admin team, went above and beyond to make the painful task of laying our Mother to rest go as smoothly as possible. The professional "Can Do, We will take care of it" attitude was an amazing display of experience, kindness, understanding, and compassion. They have the tribal knowledge and established relationships with the required parties needed to have a beautiful memorial service. Their support team members, like the local florist, churches, and cemeteries, respect and adhere to the high level of service that Mcnerney's provides its clients. From day one, Tom Jr. guided us through the entire process. James was phenomenal with the level of planning and details for the viewing, church service, and finally the entombment at Green Hills. Val did the most amazing job of preparing our mom for her final rest. Everything was just perfect; she is a true artist. Dennis is a prime example of the dedication that is the McNerney benchmark. I can not say enough about how well they are at making a stressful situation much more bearable. When the need arises, you have options, but there is only one choice, and that choice is McNerney's. On behalf of the Moreno, Gonzales, and Olmeda families, thank you, McNerney's. Sincerely, Jose Olmeda

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!

Our hospice organization contacted Neptune as soon as my mom passed away. The Neptune team in San Pedro, CA handled everything and were very courteous and compassionate.

From the initial phone calls with questions, to the 2 women who picked up my loved one's body, both were pleasant, professional, and calm, explaining the steps in which they were going to proceed, and sensitive to the situation. The vehicle transporting my loved one's body was unexpectedly unmarked and appreciatively inconspicuous. Feeling emotional especially during that 1st call, Ana was appreciatively patient and helpful in assisting me to understand the steps required to obtain a death certificate and what to expect. Taylor was professional, helpful and diligent in updating me on timing of events as well as scheduling pick up of my loved one's cremains. Upon pick-up, I did not expect such a nicely-decorated room awaiting me, replete with respectful decorations (including elegant table runner and candles, soft music, and a printed sign in my loved one's memory. Very touching and special. A warm and genuine thank you for helping me during a difficult and painful time.

When my father-in-law passed away in Orange County, our wish was to bring him back to his homeland, Iran, to be laid to rest in his hometown. Pierre helped us from the very beginning with incredible kindness, compassion, and respect. He quickly arranged transportation from Orange County to their facility in Los Angeles and made sure my father-in-law was treated with dignity and care. For the remainder of the process, I worked primarily with Vahik, who handled the extremely complicated international arrangements, permits, documentation, and transportation. Communication was always clear and transparent, and we knew what to expect every step of the way. When political developments unexpectedly suspended flights into Iran while the journey was already underway, Vahik and the team did not give up. They coordinated new documentation in Turkey, found an alternative route to an airport near the Iranian border, and arranged ground transportation so our family could receive my father-in-law and finally bring him to his hometown. During one of the hardest times in our lives, they took an enormous burden off our family. Their compassion, professionalism, communication, and determination to find a solution were truly exceptional. Most importantly, they helped us fulfill our final wish for our loved one and bring him home with dignity. Our family will always be grateful to Pierre, Vahik, and everyone at Always There Funeral Services. I highly recommend them, especially to any family facing the difficult process of international transportation and repatriation of a loved one.
