It made a hard time enjoyable to uncover the whole event. Her patience and understanding of the loved ones is special and she all about making a statement for the families lost one. It was such a fun process to choose all my Dad's coffin accessories and urn. She worked with the local church to get things ready in such a short time which was an absolute miracle. The viewing the space the staff were super respectful and professional. What a humbling business and establishment. The day we took my Dad's coffin in the Hurst to the church with Paul Barer assistance white glove placement was a memorable experience. Way to go Duggan's Mortuary. On behalf of myself and family we want to say Thank you for running a fantastic business. I'm sure my Dad is looking down from heaven as a proud member of Duggan's Mortuary. He was even featured on their website to allow friends and family to see his viewing schedule. My Dad was remembered as a loving father of 3, loyal loving husband, a man of God and a Cold Filipino Chef who provided cooking for entire family for decades. We love you Angela and Salute to you and what you do for our Country. I highly recommend this place.

Rest In Peace The…read morename is confusing but the Golden Gate National Cemetery is located in San Bruno, not in San Francisco, and not to be confused with the San Francisco National Cemetery on the Presidio. Authorized by Congress as a result of being voted by the residents of San Francisco to stop the opening of new cemeteries within their city... the GG National Cemetery was constructed. When I used to live in the Bay Area and my home church was in San Bruno we used to pass by the cemetery on Sundays. Last Monday we stopped on Memorial Day and drove inside. This was my first time inside the cemetery. It is huge! Respect and honor to all heroes. Large flags were displayed for Memorial Day. They were raised around the base of the hill in the center of the cemetery. Hundreds of Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and others planted flags in front of cemetery graves. It was a beautiful sight to see the sea of flags honoring our fallen heroes. Somber reminder of how many gave so much for our freedoms. Notable famous grave is that of FADM Chester Nimitz (Battle of Midway). Also buried here, a sad part of San Francisco history, was the assassin of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Councilman Harvey Milk, Dan White. He was a sergeant in the 101st Airborne Division in the Vietnam War. Review #2596

You would think after 15+ years of coming, I would know where my great grandmothers headstone is. Nope! They need to add location lettering or sections to make it easier. And parking is no joke. People double park and still park hella out where they make it hard for bigger SUV's and trucks to get through. There's no line indicator for car spots so cars park bumper to bumper or take up 2 spots. And some families don't leave for a whole 2 hours, they literally set up like it's a picnic at the park with umbrellas and tables. Sigh .. Considering it's a Chinese Cemetery, you would think they know our traditional by now. We like to BURN money! But it's always so hard to find a burning dumpster. And when another family is using one or almost done, we don't want to rush them because we want the money and prayer paper to burn throughly so it reaches are families. I have seen families bring their own burning tins. These past 2 years. They have removed a lot of trees and flatten out the ground for more plot. My grandpa's plot is on the upper right side (newer plot) and it's quite hard to walk there. There's a small incline ground walkway from the middle plot, it would be a good idea to add a small stairway, so it's easier for my Grandmom and other grandparents who have a difficult time walking and less dangerous. Even tho, all these 'negative' things I've mentioned, I still give it 5 stars because this is where my family is buried. Where the rest of my alive family comes together and visit and share memories.

My family was so appreciative of how Annette helped us get through this very difficult time. She was patient, empathetic, gave great suggestions, guided us through the whole process and was so caring. They allowed us to decorate the chapel a few hours before, had ample seating and parking and a huge projector screen for slideshows and great speakers. I would definitely recommend Garden Chapel to my family and friends. They are not only in it for financial gain, but they truly care about your experience with them. To put icing on the cake, we were sent a card in remembrance of my Mom's one year death anniversary. It was such a nice touch and really encouraged me to write this review.

I know she must deal with a lot of people like that but it's normal to be histeric about where you will put your loved one, let alone a sibling. Otherwise, smooth. We didn't do a service as we don't have much family here. I did find that they put a "neighbor" too close to ours. Not even a foot difference. And plenty of space to the other sides. Not a fan of that. Wish they could scoot it over a bit so we have more space for our activities. Every other stone is fairly spaced like a foot except ours. Since then we come throughout the year and the facilities are always clean and can go use the restroom and get some snacks when open. I wish they'd update the hours so we know we can come use the restroom when we visit.

Grateful is an understatement for the immaculate work the Golden Hill Memorial team did in supporting us through our loss.

From the beautiful clean, modern venue, to the welcome treats and drinks for our guests. They really know how to run a tight ship. Each team member was personable and professional, as they consistently checked in on our family. All our guests were impressed with their hospitality and wide selection of post funeral ceremony offerings as we waited for the burial ceremony. I have never experienced such an elevated experience at a funeral, and it really surprised our family. Golden Hill Memorial goes above and beyond, and we are grateful for their care.

Visiting historic graves [Colma CA]…read more We don't have any loved ones buried here but we stopped by to pay respect to some notable figures laid to rest at this cemetery: Bay Area peeps... who remembers "The Green Grocer?" I remember watching his segment on KPIX-TV when we lived in the South Bay (San Jose). He was the produce expert. He liked to give his viewers advice what fruits and vegetables were bargains and which to avoid. * Joe Carcione - Bay Area TV Personality. We wanted to see one particular famous baseball player but I was surprised to see a list of former MLB players who are also laid to rest here: * George Kelly - first baseman who played most of his MLB career for the New York Giants. * Babe Pinelli - third baseman and umpire in the MLB was mostly with the Cincinnati Reds from 1922 to 1927. * Hank Sauer - left fielder in MLB playing mostly for the Cincinnati Reds from 1941 through 1959. He also had a short career with the SF Giants The one being the most well known, of course, is: * Joe DiMaggio - American baseball center fielder who played his entire 13-year career in MLB for the New York Yankees. Joe was born in Martinez CA. Now I don't know much about his baseball career but I do know about his short-lived marriage to Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe. There were a lot of politicians buried here too including: * George Moscone - 37th mayor of San Francisco CA from January 1976 until his assassination in November 1978. He was a former Board of Supervisors member, served in the California State Senate from 1967 until becoming Mayor. He served as Majority Leader in the Senate. These are the most well-known people we came to see whose final resting place is at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma CA. Review #3743
