Two years ago, when my Mom's health began to deteriorate, my family and I sat down to discuss what…read moreto do when that fateful day comes and she passes away. I mean, how many people really know what to do at that terribly emotional and shocking time? Utter McKinley in The Valley (Mission Hills, to be exact) had provided services for previous relatives, but that was quite a while ago. So, I called them. Besides getting a general price quote, I was told that, day or night, just give 'em a call and they'd pick up the body. Early last month, Mom passed away at a skilled nursing facility, just 2 days prior to her 90th birthday. When my Sister called me with the news, before I headed to the site, I found my UM notes. It was evening, but I called their number anyway, and a gentleman answered! He was on-call at a sister mortuary, but said he'd coordinate sending 2 Utter McKinley representatives to come for her. Sure enough, in a bit over an hour, the fellows arrived (they were in Pasadena at the time) and took Mom back to the mortuary. In a matter of days, we met with Erick--one of the amazing Arrangements Counselors at UM. From the moment my Sister and I sat down with him, he was compassionate, professional, and kind. He made great suggestions, and helped us make decisions (there were a lot of them); and, at no time pressured us into a particular purchase. Last week, we had her funeral. When I told him my buddy put together a Celebration of Life video tribute, he said to email it to him. He burned a DVD, and we played it after the eulogy and other speeches. Such a kind offer, and the family/guests loved it. Once everything concluded, Erick accompanied the hearse and family to the cemetery. Oh, an additional shoutout to Kayla--also one of the Utter McKinley Arrangements Counselors. She did Mom's makeup, and her artistry was amazing. Many guests commented on how natural and at peace Mom looked. A historical note: The mortuary has been serving families at the Mission Hills location (corner of San Fernando Mission Boulevard and Columbus Avenue, across from the San Fernando Mission Hills Cemetery) since 1962! Prior to that, UM was located on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood from the mid-30s through the 50s. My point is, this mortuary has been around for nearly 100 years. They do things right. When you lose a loved one, put your trust in Utter McKinley.

Tricia and Alex were exactly what I needed them to be: reliable, respectful , knowledgeable, accessible. I was a man making arrangements for my husband to be cremated and sealed into in an urn. Whenever I thought something would be a problem they solved it. I purchased an urn but could only bring it to them on a Thursday. Alex made a special trip on a Thursday to meet me and pick up the urn. When I received the official death certificate a couple of weeks after the cremation I discovered that the Social Security Number I had given them was off by one digit. I called Tricia in a panic but she knew how to handle it. " I will file an amendment" she said. And she took care of my mistake and she took care of me. I have nothing but good things to say about Access Cremation.... 5 STARS .

Misinformation, no information, poor follow-up, all with an attitude. Never could tell us when we could have my niece back, excuses every call. After more than 3 weeks we were finally told she was ready. However, the Urns we ordered at the beginning of the process were either on back order or stuck in a container. Would have been nice to know this when we ordered, so we could source elsewhere. When picking up my niece, my sister was rudely presented with her ashes. Wrong person in this job. The owner Alex was helpful, but clearly not in touch with Veronica. We were patient through this process, while needing closure to move on with our grief. Access Cremation made this incredibly difficult to do.
