We needed a custom made headstone for my extraordinary husband to honor his incredible talent, unparalleled charm and wit. Throughout the entire process from selecting the type of stone to installing the final monument Ryan was truly attentive, compassionate, patient and respectful to our requests and suggestions. All the communications between me and the Mattos representatives during the entire process were clear and precise and very helpful. There was a little misunderstanding on our side about one of the details, but even after the monument was installed, Ryan kindly took care of it so that we would feel completely satisfied. The monument they created came out beautiful and fully met our expectations, and was installed on time. This has been a very emotional time for me and my family, and I will always remember the care, respect, attention to detail and professionalism showed by Mattos.

From the initial body collection through the funeral service itself, their team helped shoulder a burden that felt impossible at the time. Ian, Michelle, Andrea, and Fabian were all kind, attentive, and deeply respectful throughout the entire process. Being able to have everything coordinated and completed within a single week was nothing short of a lifesaver, and their willingness to open early for us was an extra act of kindness we won't forget. On the day of the service, all of the flowers sent by loved ones were beautifully arranged, adding a sense of care and dignity to the space. Death is never easy to accept, and navigating logistics while grieving only makes it harder. While no one can ease the loss itself, the people at Berge‑Pappas‑Smith made an incredibly painful experience more manageable through their empathy and support. For that, our family is sincerely thankful.

Ian and the team at Berge-Pappas-Smith Chapel of The Angels in Fremont made an incredibly difficult time a little less emotionally taxing. They treated my loved one with genuine dignity and respect while also treating me with compassion, authenticity, and understanding. What stood out most was their ability to meet me where I was in the process. They never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed, and they provided clear guidance on costs, timeframes, and next steps. That clarity meant a great deal when there were already so many other things to process. Funeral arrangements are never going to be easy, but having a team that is authentic, transparent, and genuinely compassionate makes an enormous difference. I'm grateful to Ian and his team for helping us navigate a difficult moment with dignity and care. Highly recommended to anyone who finds themselves needing these services.

I found Acme Memorial through Yelp and as soon as I called, Paul was very sympathetic and very helpful in helping us getting a headstone at a decent price. We worked solely through phone and email, which was very helpful since I don't live in the Bay Area. Paul worked with the digital pictures we sent him and he even photoshopped the photo to remove the background which came out great. Paul even got the headstone done and delivered to the cemetery in less than 4 weeks. The headstone came out great and Paul made the process really easy for us during a very difficult time. I highly recommend Acme Memorial for their great customer service and being so easy to work with.

Working with a separate cemetery to arrange the necessary permits and requirements for a headstone was proving to be a slow and challenging process.

Lotus Memorial also worked closely with us to create a beautiful, personalized headstone that matched the existing headstone of our loved one's spouse. Their attention to detail, professionalism, reasonable pricing, and commitment to helping our family meant so much to us. Jennifer was compassionate, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process.
