I buried my mom three years ago, and this is now the second time her lapida has been damaged…read more I'm deeply upset and frustrated. I don't understand why Lima can't inform us ahead of time if they plan to mow or do any maintenance around my mom's resting place. A simple call or message would allow us to secure the items we've carefully placed there in her memory. It's heartbreaking to see them carelessly damaged. No family should have to go through this. I've already reached out to Clarice to ask for answers and to request a replacement for the mini lapida with my mom's name on it. We paid a significant amount for the lot, the viewing services, and her lapida. At the very least, we expect her resting place to be treated with dignity and respect--not just ours, but everyone's. What's happened feels completely disrespectful--not only to my family, but to my mom's memory. I just want her to rest in peace, undisturbed. If this issue is not resolved, I will continue to escalate it until we receive a proper replacement, a sincere apology, and a clear commitment that something like this will never happen again.

Losing my brother is a pain that still cuts incredibly deep, but I'm truly grateful for the…read morecompassion and professionalism shown by Berge‑Pappas‑Smith during one of the hardest weeks of my life. 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.

Several years ago when my husband was put in a care facility, they wanted to know who to call when…read morehe passed. I was looking at mortuaries, alone with an unfamiliar duty in an unfamiliar location. I finally turned to Yelp to see what was posted about mortuaries I'd looked at when David from Honor Cremations popped up to say he thought he could help me. I truly felt an instant feeling of safety and trust. Sometimes we're lucky enough to get guidance. David is kind, sympathetic and morale. I spent the next several years feeling secure for when the time came. One of the few things I was able to feel secure about. When my husband did pass in the middle of the night in the veteran hospital hospice, they knew to call Honor. Because it might take time for Honor to arrive, the hospital wanted to take my husband to their mortuary and I refused saying we would wait for Honor. I trusted them and knew he'd be in good hands and those feelings were right. The gentleman who arrived to take my husband helped the nurse prepare him so when he came out of the room he was draped in the American flag. With everything else my husband and I went through with the change in care facilities, finances, and just 'handling it all' as my husband's condition worsened over the years, David's honesty and compassion took this step off my shoulders. I have purchased Honor Cremation for myself, so our children have the confidence to know everything will be taken care of. Thank you David and Honor Cremations. When so many unexpected doors closed with years-long tragedy, you offered a safe open door.

Exceptional Funeral Services for My Father…read more Losing my father was one of the hardest moments of our lives, and I had no idea where to begin with arranging his funeral. From the very first call, the team made the entire process so much easier and more manageable for us. They guided us step-by-step--from helping us schedule meetings, to clearly explaining what needed to be done depending on the practices we chose (Catholic or Christian), to handling all of the important documents on our behalf. Their advice was always practical, honest, and rooted in experience. One thing that gave us tremendous peace of mind was knowing that my father would be cared for with dignity during his full-body repatriation to the Philippines. They ensured that he would arrive safely and properly prepared, and we are forever grateful for that reassurance. A special thank you goes to Tom Beddingfield, who was a true anchor through all of this. His patience, professionalism, and steady guidance made an overwhelming process so much easier for our family. I cannot thank him enough for a job exceptionally well done. We also want to highlight the incredible work of Dean DeBruin, who created my dad's video tribute. This was no simple task--my father had a massive and disorganized collection of photos totaling 16 gigabytes. Dean was unbelievably patient, kind, and accommodating through every revision and request. The final tribute was heartfelt, beautiful, and truly captured who my dad was. The coordination between the funeral team and the church was seamless. The staff communicated directly with the parish where we planned to hold the viewing and funeral mass, which removed so much stress from us. We are especially thankful to Fr. Francis, who reached out personally to learn about my father's life so he could honor him meaningfully during the service. We would also like to express our deep appreciation to Noriel P. Adricula, the incredible singer and pianist who provided the music for the funeral mass. His performance was heartfelt and beautiful--exactly what my father deserved. All who attended my father's funeral were in awe of how beautifully everything was managed--professional, heartfelt, and all at a very reasonable price. We felt supported every step of the way, and we are truly grateful for the care this team provided to our father and to us.

After what my family experienced, people must know how awful our experience at Skylawn Half Moon…read moreBay was. My uncle handled all the arrangements for my grandpa's funeral and the communication from Skylawn was terrible from the start. They would not respond in a timely manner when he asked to confirm the location, the service date, and placement of my grandpa. But funny enough, they had no problem contacting him when payment was required. This lack of communication gave the impression that we were only prioritized when financial matters were involved. Even handling the death certificate was awful. My uncle was informed someone would call him when it was ready for pick up. He left multiple messages for an update and did not receive any response back. 10 days later, he went to Skylawn in person to ask, only to find out the death certificate had already been prepared from the beginning ready to be collected. This critical document required for time sensitive matters such as notifying banks and social security caused such an unnecessary inconvenience and headache during a difficult time. What really crossed the line was when he received a quote to add Chinese characters to my grandpas nameplate. My uncle simply said he wanted to discuss with the family and would let the agent know the next day. The agent sent accidentally sent my uncle a message clearly meant for someone else stating: "I won't be able to finalize...he has to again talk to his family this is a poor Chinese family" He never complained about price or tried to negotiate, he just wanted to make the decision together as a family. This message was shocking, offensive, and completely unacceptable. Our family was fully prepared to pay for additional engravings, flowers, and other services. Wanting to consult with family before making a final decision does not make someone "poor" and no family should be labeled or stereotyped based on their ethnicity. Losing a loved one is already hard enough. But being ignored, then finding out that's how your family is talked about behind the scenes is absolutely unacceptable. This sort of disrespect should never be tolerated and I hope Skylawn investigates this incident and provides a genuine apology to ensure no other family is treated this way. No one grieving the loss of a loved one should have to wonder what is being said about them behind closed doors.

We were advised by the Casket Store that we would be given 1 hour for our service. Irvington had us down for only 45. It was a miscommunication between them. But we suffered as a result. At the end of the service, there is supposed to be 5-minute countdown provided by the staff. We weren't given this. (Mind you, we were going by the hour time-frame we were advised of by the Casket Store), and were unaware that we had slightly exceeded Irvington's schedule. Wha happened next was...disturbing. An employee, arrived at our ceremony, pushed my niece out of way and tried to shut the casket. He said "That's enough! You guys are done. " and dragged his finger across his throat as if to say "Shut this down!" The poor priest asked for a couple of more minutes. The employee glared at him and looked ready to to spit on us. This was HATE, pure and simple. I called the manager Jose, who was kind, and receptive, but the damage has been done. Due to this incident, I cannot, recommend Irvington Memorial Cemetery to anyone who values a peaceful ceremony for their family members. Not after what happened to our family. I truly hope this never happens to anyone again.
