    RIP... John "Peaches" Hwang
    Walter P.

    As John's coffin was being lowered, the gray clouds had parted ways allowing the sun to break through casting its heat and light upon us. We all looked at the sun. We were confused and looked at each other. Our sorrows and tears paused. It went from cold and gloomy to warm and spiritual. This was a great omen and a clear sign that John was leaving for Heaven. A song came into mind and I started to chant to myself as I thought about our departed brother John "Peaches" Hwang . . . Bone Thugs N Harmony - Crossroads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMYAEHE2GrM

    My grandpa is under the willow tree! March time!!

    I have been Visiting my grandfather here for the last 18 years!! He is in the veterans area near the front entrance. They always provide flags on the veterans graves for Veterans and Memorial Day!! This cemetery is the most beautiful cemetery you will find around here. The scenery is astounding and peaceful. It is extremely well maintained. The grass is mowed weekly and you can count on it!They remove flowers weekly, therefore you never see dead flowers nor is it ever messy. Just check the signs to see when the mowing and flower removal days. They have exceptions during certain holidays. I always leave a little christmas tree during christmas time. If your flowers are new and in good condition during removal/mow day, sometimes they leave them. As I noticed when I came twice in one week, my flowers were still there after mow/removal day. (They were still alive and appealing is why I think they left them). I come here pretty often and grounds keeper may observe that too. I'm sure it probably costs a lot to be buried here, (I have no idea) although I must say, it's definitely worth every penny my family paid. It brings me joy to visit my grandfather in such a beautiful cemetery. Pick up flowers at trader joes down the street for 3.99-9.99, I don't see the flower vendor anymore. Again, this cemetery is absolutely beautiful and worth every penny.

    I can't understand why are there complaints about the Park. Both my parents are buried here and the followup services were impeccable. We could not had asked for more.

    My mom and I went there today to sign contract for burial plot for Calvary cemetery but when we saw how beautiful & peaceful the Gate of heaven cemetery was , we changed to there! They even have wonderful honored space for our military veterans! I was apprehensive to do this at first but after seeing the grounds here, the kind ppl that worked there. I know it really feels like the gate to heaven.

    The Gate of Heaven Cemetery is located in Los Altos, California, at the foot of the Los Altos Hills. Owned and operated by the Catholic Diocese of San Jose, this cemetery is nestled in a tranquil setting of lush manicured lawns, colorful flowers and shrubbery, majestic trees, and a glistening pond with a waterfall -- that can be viewed well from a natural stone footbridge.

We initially walked in without an appointment met Michael spoke with us over an hour answering all of our questions and giving us helpful information with no pressure to choose their services! As opposed to all other places we visited us rushed us through pricing as well as wanting to have a decision as soon as possible. They helped us say goodbye and honor our loved one in a truly beautiful way. I can't express enough how much gratitude I have for the amazing job they did!

I found myself in a crisis situation where the sheriffs department told me to call a mortuary to come take care of a relative. It was a weekend and I had absolutely no idea how to proceed. I got out my phone and did a search for the closest mortuary and Alameda popped up. I gave them a call and explained my situation and the wonderful woman who answered my call walked me through exactly what the next steps were. I didn't get her name, but she was absolutely fantastic to work with in a very difficult situation. A few hours later, the right folks arrived and took care of the situation. The following Monday first thing in the morning we went to the funeral home and met with Paul. Paul was right out of central casting for somebody to guide us through what would happen over the next two weeks. Paul spent about an hour and a half with us that morning walking us through all of the things we needed to make decisions about and next steps. He was absolutely fantastic to work with and I can't possibly imagine how that very difficult experience could have been any better than to have been guided by Paul. I hope that if I ever find myself in this situation in the future, I can find Paul or somebody exactly like him. For the funeral itself, Michael was our funeral director and again we could not have asked for a better person to be in charge. Michael knew exactly what to do intuitively and working with him at the cemetery was absolutely fantastic. I really can't recommend Alameda Family any higher. Everything was taken care of in a perfect way.

Tom, our main contact, goes way beyond "professional and caring." His energy and passion for his work are palpable, and he's gracious, welcoming, knowledgeable, experienced, and clearly adept at managing the very fluid and time-sensitive nature of this work. He inspires great confidence that everything will be taken care of as it needs to be, including us, the family members! And, the entire team projects this same calm, caring and confidence. Dean, Christian, Jinno, Junno, and Austin, all participated in our events in some form or fashion -- from planning to post-event, printing to publishing, ushering and stage direction, and what I call the concierge factor (on the days of our events, everything was handled, and all we had to do was show up and be with our guests, and and any need or request was thoughtfully fulfilled). Working with Beddingfield illustrates one of the sadder markers of our times. That when a rare company does "everything" right, and approaches their work with full hearts, they stand out head and shoulders above the rest. A call to their office will be one of the best decisions you can make, during this time of need.

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.
