It was my first time seeing and experiencing this. Parking is very small but they have a free 4hr parking structure about a block away, easily accessible and walkable. Tastea boba catered for friends and family at this funeral service and they also had food that guests can enjoy at their seat during the service. One of a kind and unforgettable and really accommodated everyone (over 250 guests). Rest in Paradise, my lovely Jenn! IG: @ammysalamii

It's always a difficult time when we are in need of this type of service. And for many of us, this…read moreis our first time. Universal Chung Wah Funeral Home has been part of this community for many many years. We were looking for a small viewing followed by cremation. The staff member named May was patient and helpful, answering all of our questions and provided useful suggestions. She did not try to upsell services. The day of the service went smoothly as planned. We arrived some time earlier and things were already set up. When the ashes were ready, another staff member even dropped off the ashes as a courtesy on her way to another appointment, so that my 80 year old mom didn't have to Uber there to pick up the ashes. Small gestures like this is greatly appreciated during such a difficult time.

SMP is the oldest American non-sectarian and historic cemetery in Southern California. The cemetery…read morerepresents the first Euro-American, protestant cemetery established in southern California, and contains the graves of several of the first United States citizens to settle the region. The park has been in continuous operation since its founding in 1850. Some of the burials may date back into the 1840s before Savannah Memorial Park became a Memorial Park. By street view, this cemetery looks like an ordinary park. But a closer inspection reveals history hidden in plain sight. Wicked cool! Overall, this is an interesting landmark rich in history.

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.

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!

Everything was laid out beautifully, and the staff specifically coordinated and directed everyone very expertly and intentionally to help us feel like we were part of the process and also honoring the deceased according to tradition. No AV hiccups and the ceremony was decorated very tastefully. When it came to transitioning to the burial site the staff was very discrete and efficient. They really are able to balance the efficiency aspect as well as the professional and attention to detail and the venue is very nice. Highly recommend.

We sat in a meeting with John Wong, arrangement counselor, and he reviewed with us and our agent what was had purchased at that time. They answered all our questions. Lucky for us that the changes we made, we did not have to pay extra for. We appreciated that both the agent and John spoke in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese so my family and I were able to understand what was asked of them and what needed to be prepared. Saturdays are extra $$ if funeral would be held that day but weekdays are no additional charge. They let us know where we could ask the guests to deliver the flowers and where to meet. They provided us with a map on where to meet for the viewing and where we go to have him buried. We had to come back several times because there were several clothing articles we needed to drop off to be put in the casket. During the day of the funeral, we were surprised to see our agent there and our agent and the helpful staff guided us through the funeral process for our grandfather. They provided the fruits and the bowls we needed for prayers, and the standing flower sprays that were ordered with the guests and family were arranged in the room for us. The staff were patient with us while we were all grieving. They gave us several small burning bins so we can burn money for our grandfather. I see other funerals there and the signs are posted on which room is for which loved one. I highly recommend Rose Hills if you want to bury your loved one here. The only thing I don't like is that even though you have a map, it's easy to get lost up on those hills: they need better and more signs to direct us to the different areas and where the exits are.

The cremation was done at the main location in Whittier and the memorial service was held at the Alhambra branch. All of the staff were very patient, understanding and helpful. They were able to help with all of the requests that we had and on top of that were very quick to get back to us with responses. The memorial service went smoothly and without a hitch, thanks to the funeral director and staff at Rose Hills that day. If you decide to hold a service here make sure to let all the invitees know that this is the Alhambra location; most people only know about the main Rose Hills cemetery in Whittier. To the staff: Karpo, Vincent, Donnie and Mai - thank you for all the help with my mother's service.

I'm still VERY LIVID how our service was handled. Our Arranger HENRY CHAN, lacked the basic skills of guiding us on our sons service. We were in the dark majority of this process. Please keep in mind, this is our first time coping with funeral planning so OBVIOUSLY we don't know what to expect nor do we know how planning a service consists of. Tell me why our arranger never ASKED us what type of service we envision? Why did WE have to ask him what type of service they recommended doing since we are non-religious? All he offered to us was a catalog of Urns and Casket STILL without explaining anything to us KNOWING our son is a BABY whom passed. We were given ZERO guidance on this whole experience. I understand we're in a pandemic but that does not excuse ANYONE in this business to handle the things we experienced!! Less than 24 hours before our sons service, we weren't told if we should bring in photos or flowers or ANYTHING of that nature. In tears and frustration, the entire family had to haul ass last minute to gather everything in time. On top of this, on the day of my sons cremation I requested to see him one last time and was DENIED that when our arranger promised us we were able to see him!! WHY DID WE PAY FOR THIS SERVICE IF IT CANT BE FULFILLED? It's been a few weeks since this horrible experience and NO management has reached out to us on this matter. I will NEVER recommend rose hills on their lack of empathy or to any grieving family who is seeking a funeral home to work with.
