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.

She went to the Universal Funeral Home in 2021and consulted with May for her immediate disposition and funeral, mom must had a preemptive vision which unfortunately came through, after she got scared into getting the 2 Covid Jabs, her heart rate went berserk, she told me 180 and no way if slowing it down, due to Spike Protein worsening her previous heart condition and hypertention, Diabetes attacked her mercilessly after a long period of of remission. Here we are, after a long struggle with hospitalization and onset Alzheimers, mom took off right after Easter, I did not know much about the process so I called May, and she immediately brought moms remain from the Nursing Home to the Funeral Home for refrigeration. Since mom did not discuss much about her endeavors with the Funeral plans, May literally hand held me through the Entire Process. She is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the trade, from acquiring burial grounds, to getting the right Plan for the Loved One, she is patient, kind, smart and truly caring about my desire for the Loved One. Thank you for making moms ushering into a New Heaven a seamless and Painless thing. Though there were many unforeseen impediments along the way, she is the Captain that steer our ship into a safe Harbor. Bless you!

Two of my family members died within 6 months of each other. One in June in Arizona and the other in December in California. There's a stark difference between the processes of Funeral/Pick up of the body/ arrangements between the Arizona company and Universal Funeral Chapel. And the key contributor to that is May. She looked out for our welfare even with Rose Hills. She took care of literally everything else, advised us of what to do and not to do to save us money. IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE, Universal Funeral, BECAUSE of May, is the right choice because of the above and beyond service she provides. Thank you May, for all that you did, for the family!

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!

When I arrived at her gravesite, I was saddened to find that her marker was dirty and covered with dirt and grass. I asked one of the Rose Hills employees for assistance. He told me that someone had already been called to help, but after waiting 15-20 minutes, no one came. Because I didn't feel that he was being truthful, I took a picture of the truck as it drove away. A short time later, Alejandro came over and kindly asked if we needed assistance. Ironically, he was in the same truck that had previously been there. Despite the extreme heat, Alejandro took the time to help us with kindness, professionalism, and compassion. While it was disappointing that the first employee was unwilling to assist us, I want to publicly recognize and thank Alejandro for his outstanding customer service. Employees like him make a lasting difference. Job well done, Alejandro! Lastly, Happy Heavenly Birthday to Destiny Williams, Kim Branch, and my beloved Aunt Renee Antwine on this July 27th. Though you are no longer with us, you are loved, deeply missed, and will never be forgotten. Your memories will live in our hearts forever. I must add Jonathan Lopez contacted me right away. His commitment to providing excellent customer service is appreciated. Thank you again for your acknowledgement & beautiful flowers

I've always liked visiting Mountain View because how beautiful it is especially being so close to the mountains I think Mountain View represents the community ideally Elizabeth helped me last month after my mother passed away. She was professional, kind, caring, and followed up on every detail. I can't see enough about how professionally she was and at the same time how much concern she had for our well-being. She also has great knowledge of the cemetery and I enjoyed our conversations. during one of my visits last month I had problems located my grandparents burial site and I had several maintenance people take time to offer to help me find their gravesite. Everyone who works here, cares about the cemetery and seems to take pride in maintaining it. Mountain View has a small town feel about it, unlike some of the larger corporate cemeteries in Southern California. I cannot recommend it enough.

Unfortunately, our experience here has been extremely disappointing. During such a difficult time,…read morewe expected compassion, professionalism, and clear communication, but that has not been our experience. We've called multiple phone numbers listed for the funeral home. On one occasion, a man answered, but he was very unprofessional and seemed unwilling or unable to provide basic information. It felt like he didn't want to help, and getting answers was unnecessarily difficult. The funeral home may want to have someone better trained or more knowledgeable handling phone calls, as first impressions and communication are incredibly important during such a sensitive time. We've also left several voicemails and were told by other staff members that someone would call us back, but we never received a single return call. It's especially unfortunate because we wanted to use this funeral home since the cemetery is in Monrovia, making it a convenient option for our family. However, due to the lack of communication and poor customer service, we've decided to look elsewhere. I hope this feedback encourages improvements so that other families receive the support, professionalism, and timely communication they deserve during such a difficult time.
