I cannot say enough wonderful things about Live Oak Memorial Park. From the moment my grandmother…read morepassed away to the very last moment of her burial service, I was supported with the utmost care, compassion, and professionalism. Her services looked so beautiful! The manager, Erick G., along with funeral directors Elizabeth and Mario, were truly exceptional. Every step of the process was clearly explained, transparent, and handled with great thoughtfulness. I never once felt rushed, confused, or alone during an incredibly emotional time. They presented the service options, offered their expert guidance, and allowed me to make decisions without any pressure. No matter how many times I called or emailed with questions, I was always met with kindness, patience, and genuine helpfulness. Their compassion never wavered, and I felt completely taken care of throughout the entire process. It truly meant everything to my family and me. Erick, Elizabeth, and Mario were an incredible trio - professional, thorough, and deeply compassionate. They made one of the hardest experiences of my life feel manageable and supported, and I am beyond grateful for them. I wholeheartedly recommend Live Oak Memorial Park. If you are looking for a place where your loved one will be honored with dignity and where you will be treated with care and respect, I highly encourage you to ask for Erick G. (manager) and Elizabeth and Mario (funeral directors). They are truly a blessing and I'm beyond impressed. Forever grateful.

It pains my heart that my mother is buried in this horrible cemetery. From the moment she was…read moreburied here, it has been nothing but problems. They lie about what is included in your funeral package and try to squeeze any other extra dollar out of you. On more than one occasion, they have damaged my mother's headstone with their gardening machinery. Around the inner edges of the cemetery, along the walls it looks like a dump site with running stinking water running through. They regularly do not adhere to their own decoration and flower pick up schedule. Several times they have removed all the decorations ahead of schedule, with no regard to how much money people spend on their decorations. The least they could do is put a notice online to let people know if they are picking up ahead of schedule. If you complain, they will direct you to their booklet that says they are a private business and reserve the right to do whatever they want. Make sure you get every single detail in writing. Their contracts are intentionally misleading.

Two of my family members died within 6 months of each other. One in June in Arizona and the other in December in California.

The Scouts places flags on the graves, and participated in a remembrance that included local politicians, retired and active members of the Armed Forces, community leaders, various service organizations, and citizens who took the time to remember and show their respect and gratitude. The cemetery itself is small, quiet, and peaceful-- not unlike Sierra Madre itself. There are numerous shade trees, and soft pathways to visit the final resting places of friends and family who have gone before... and for what it's worth, there are some very old graves here of some of the founding fathers and mothers of the area.

Be aware of this third company of Forest Lawn cemetery. Agents here are NOT HONEST. I would give…read morethis place zero star from my family's heartbreaking experience. Problem one: My family bought a memorial property at Glendale cemetery in December 2015 for my grandfather who suddenly passed away. Our family specifically ordered the traditional upright headstone. Chris, an agent worked at the location, promised our family that the headstone would be delivered in about four months. Four months later, he told us the delivery must be postponed due to some government regulation issues. We trusted him and waited nearly a year and finally became suspicious about the situation. We contacted this company, shockingly, an agent informed us that Glendale cemetery NEVER allowed having upright headstones; Furthermore, Chris was no longer working for their company. Upon several negotiations, my family had to go for the flat bronze grave marker, because we did not wish to "disturb" my grandfather. Problem two: Chris, the agent, SPECIFICALLY told us the memorial property was at a corner (because only corner locations can have upright headstone). After the flat grave marker for my grandfather was finally delivered in March 2017, guess what, we found the grave marker was in the middle section! Ironically, as we contact this Arcadia company, the corner property just being sold to another family, and the person was buried recently! All in all, funeral services should be honest, but this Arcadia third company of Forest Lawn is full of lies. Our family would never do business with them ever again!

For such an expensive and supposedly respectable mortuary, this is unacceptable. They do not provide coffee or beverage service, so guests have to bring their own drinks, yet there are no outlets available to plug in coffee equipment. Even less expensive mortuaries usually provide this basic level of accommodation. We were told they do have outlets, but guests are not allowed to use them because of past electrical overloads. That raises an obvious question: why hasn't the issue been fixed? This establishment charges enough to upgrade their electrical system and prevent these problems. To make matters worse, the beverage area is set up outside, exposed to wind, heat, or cold weather. Overall, the experience was disappointing and far below what you would expect from a professional funeral home.

I'd give him 100stars, cannot say enough wonderful things about this man- He's very professional, kind, and kept me up to date as much as possible and solved problems along the way. Manny went above and beyond to help make the process easier for everyone I was very grateful for his help, I think he works harder at his job than anyone else. Aside from that I was not impressed with a lot of things. The day of the Memorial was chaotic, the guests had no direction and were told to wait so they all congregated up at the front building. Then the viewing that was supposed to be just a couple people turned into everyone coming in to view my father. This could have been catastrophic if I wasn't so laid back but he looked sharp so I figure it was meant to be that way, many were glad they got to see him. It worked out well it was just a bit overwhelming as that was way different than what was originally planned. Whoever was directing outside would not allow the person I hired to set up the photos & flowers go inside the cemetery beforehand so when I discovered that nothing had been done at the site yet I had to run from the viewing to go throw everything together all by myself at the location in the literal minutes before the ceremony. Due to that set back I didn't get anything up properly. Lastly a few days before the funeral the groundskeepers assured me that they would have my grandfathers grave cleaned up (my dad was buried in the same plot at later date) but it was not done. It's also been noticed they remove flowers very quickly after placed which is a bit off putting. They were very much on top of making sure payment was complete but after that it took a substantial amount of time and several check ins before burial happened for my dad. To be honest I didn't mind that wait but from day one I was very clear I wanted to be there for his burial. The day finally came and I found out the afternoon before that they would be burying him the next day, a bit frustrating the lack of notice but it was beyond time for it to happen so I just worked it out. I kept in communication up until just a couple hours before to make sure it was clear I would be there for the burial and agreed to come at a set time. I showed up an hour before that set time and my father was already buried!! This was extremely upsetting and the men finishing up did not seem to care in the slightest about my distress. It seems like they were just glad to have "finished up early". This has been extremely distressing for me and my family/friends are upset hearing it as well. I'm still struggling with what happened. I spoke with Manny afterwards and he was very apologetic as this was not how it was supposed to go, he was not notified they were going to finish early so there was really nothing that could have gone differently on his end. There is some major communication issues going on. I'm definitely rethinking the plans I was considering for myself and the rest of my family in a plot here as it seems like the management is lacking, it doesn't really seem like anyone else cares there. It's kept together just well enough to get paid.
