Funeral service
Michelle A.

I had a very positive experience with Cypress Funeral Home during a difficult time for my family. From the moment we walked in, the staff treated us with genuine compassion, accommodating , and professionalism. The facility itself was peaceful, well-maintained, and clean, which helped create a comforting environment for family and friends to gather and remember our loved one. Every detail, from the service arrangements to the coordination on the day--was handled smoothly and respectfully. A special thank you to Carlo, the arranger, who guided us through the planning process with great care and understanding. Who took the time to explain every step of the process clearly and made sure we felt supported without ever feeling pressured. We are also thankful to Eva and Arturo, who assisted during the service and ensured everything ran seamlessly. Thank you again. I would recommend Cypress Funeral Home to anyone in need of funeral services.

Review Last Saturday, March 14, 2026 was my mom's funeral service. What should have been a time for grieving and honoring her turned into chaos, stress, and complete disappointment. I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start from the beginning On January 31, 2026, me, my wife and father met with Ed (funeral arranger) and Arlene (planning counselor). The meeting went well. We spoke about the basic stuff like, date of service, prayer cards, flower arrangements, and priest etc etc. We were going to use my mom's life insurance  to pay for everything. Since my mom died out of the country, we already knew the life insurance will take longer to process. None of us thought it would be a problem but boy was I wrong.  Probably a week later, Ed and Arlene informs me that we can not continue with the service due to the delay of the life insurance. Original date of mom service was February 21, 2026 but we had to change it. At the time it was TBD cause we didn't know when they were going to get the life insurance. For about 2 weeks, Ed and Arlene would call and ask me , in a nice way, if I was able to pay out of pocket. They both asked a few times for those 2 weeks. To ask if I can pay out of pocket is crazy to me.  On February 26, 2026, the life insurance went through so we paid for the niche, service and secured a date for service , March 14,2026  On March 8, 2026, I went to drop off my moms urn so they can transfer her urn to the cypress urn   From February 26. 2026 til March 13, 2026, I haven't heard from Ed in regards with the service or anything . Even though in the beginning they were hounding me about how to pay for the service  On March 9, 2026 I texted Ed to check in and asked if everything was ready to go for Saturday. I asked if prayer cards, priest, and  were good?. I even asked if someone will be at the Pavilion Chapel at 830am so we can set up. His only response was "yes someone will be at 830am"  On March 13, 2026 I called Ed to ask about what type of table cloth I should buy for the tables. He then decides to ask me how i would like to set the seats and tables. He caught me off guard because I was not prepared on how to answer that question and I was wondering why would he asked me that the day before the service . Wouldn't he have asked that weeks prior? The service was scheduled from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with the burial at 12:30 PM. We arrived around 8:20 AM. When I returned at 9:00 AM, I was told my mom's urn wasn't even there. Let that sink in, the most important part of the service was missing. I spoke with Paul and Andre, who were assigned to us, and Paul told me they thought we were bringing it. That was completely false. I personally dropped it off a week prior with Arlene. I then called Ed and he repeated the same excuse. The lack of communication was unbelievable and inexcusable. It took about 20 minutes into the service before my mom's urn finally showed up. While dealing with that, I found out my daughter had been handed a flower arrangement. As she tried to place it on the table, where my mom's urn should have been, Paul made a comment to her instead of helping. No compassion, no awareness, just unnecessary remarks to a grieving child. It didn't stop there. My wife and brother in law had to set up the refreshment tables themselves. They asked Andre if they could move two tables, and he said yes, but didn't lift a finger to help. Why is the grieving family doing the work? Why are we the ones setting up on the day we're supposed to mourn? Throughout the service, I had to repeatedly ask for basic necessities such as chairs, water bottles, and tissues. There were elderly guests standing, and no one thought to bring out more seating. We were already 45 minutes into the service before these essentials were even available. This is basic funeral service and nothing was prepared. ***See photos for continuation***

1370 El Camino Real Colma, CA 94014 On the day before Easter Sunday, I had the honor to visit relatives interred at Cypress lawn Memorial Park. My late-Aunt left instructions in her will that we should visit this place. Cypress Lawn is a beautiful well maintained cemetery. Although it's not as nice as a national cemetery, it's a lovely place and offers wide roads and paths. We visited a mausoleum. The place was peaceful and well kept. Then we went out to visit a gravesite. The lawn was thick and had some ruts. I spotted some graves of veterans, and I left coins and brushed off their headstones. Rest in Peace

Always loved coming here as a kid to feed the ducks old bread. Has always been a tradition in my family. The road can be a little "dirty" so watch where you step when throwing the bread to the ducks. The sun also always shines bright in this area even if you wanna take a little break and rest in the area.

Why is someone's Skull, jaw bone just laying in the street?

Cypress lawn has done an excellent job cleaning up the mess I prior complained about. The trees are almost all cleaned up. Still alot of dead unnecessary branches laying around. The grass has been looking great as well. Thank you for cleaning up the grounds. Very happy

The unprofessional unit manager who didn't follow through on her contract because she went on vacation.

See all

I left the main review under Cypress Lawn because Olivet is now owned and run by Cypress lawn…read more Look for details there. Before the change of management in 2022 after my mother passed, I called and spoke with them. They helped me understand the process and what to expect and confirmed that my mother could be in interred with my father. They called it a right of internment and assured me, there would be no problem. I contacted them again and learned about the takeover by Cypress Lawn. I was assigned a different person some young man who told me my mother could not be buried with her husband, as was her last wish. I can tell you that it seems profits are number one, the chairman of board and the Board of Directors won't even do anything to help you. The chairman of the board wrote me a letter made assurances and then never followed through my mother remains unburied. She was a well respected Doelger Senior Center volunteer and state of California public service retiree. My father was a decorated war hero and this situation is just shameful.

We held my mother in law's viewing / wake service at one of the indoor room. The size of the room…read morewere plenty big and chairs were lined in rows with napkin boxes placed at different sections . Water bottle neatly arranged on a table in the room and also extras on the desk out side hallway. Women bathroom were clean and stocked , the entire inside of the facility were well kept. Adjacent to our room has an outdoor space , I believe where one can burn incense for Buddhist ceremony. Disappointed that we were not able to have food for our guests , due to COVID regulations . Both staff I encountered were diligent in helping our family arranged tables so we can placed incense/ flowers and food offerings.

Overall positive experience. A bit tricky with language gaps as my Chinese is not good. My uncle…read morewas a bit stressed and the lady seemed to be over it. 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.

Not normally a place that I review…read more I've been here before but only for the burial of a friend's parent. On my recent visit here, my friends were putting their parent to rest on a recent Sunday morning, a norm these days, given our ages now. It is not a large place like other mortuaries in the area but we were able to fit a little over a hundred in their service room. As you enter, there is a reception area where a table was set up with snacks and a drink and coffee station to the side. The staff was pretty low key as these type of events become more of a reunion besides remembering the departed. The program started on time and went smoothly, with a slideshow with moving clips along with background music ran on a loop. After the eulogies were read and guests paid homage to the departed and her family, we were led outside. The gravesite was a pretty good hike from the building as our entourage followed the hearse. The staff who guided the hosts through the service were friendly, patient, and appreciative of guests who helped. The only criticism is that the graveyard crew seemed a bit disorganized as the shovel loader was not in position to make the burial process smooth. Overall, for a smaller mortuary, they make the program pretty seamless.

In 2022, when my mother passed away, there was no question about where my family would go for her…read morememorial marker--Art in Stone. We began the original design with Mike Radar. When we returned in 2025 after my father passed away to make changes and create a double memorial marker, my sister and I did not yet know that Mike had passed in 2024, which explained so much. It was at that time that we met Kirill Golubkov. From the moment we began working with Kirill to make the necessary changes to include our father, the communication was outstanding--absolutely no complaints. We requested many revisions along the way, and Kirill handled every change with patience and professionalism. He truly "understood the assignment" and designed a memorial marker that my siblings and I absolutely love. Kirill was always kind, understanding, and respectful during such an emotional process. It was truly a pleasure working with him, and we are deeply grateful for the care and dedication he put into honoring both of our parents. A heartfelt thank you to Kirill and the entire staff at Art in Stone for their compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail throughout this process. I highly recommend Art in Stone to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and genuinely caring service during such a difficult time. A huge shout-out as well to Mike Radar--may he rest in peace. Thank you for taking the hit for the porcelain photo on our grandfather's marker; the story behind that will forever be unforgettable. I will be sure to update this review with photos once the marker has been installed.

Recently I sadly had to put up two monuments after the loss of my parents. I very much appreciate…read morethe care and politeness with which Gita and Kirill treated me. They listened and incorporated my feedback about every minute aspect of the design. After that was all done the monuments were put up even sooner than I expected. All looks good now when I visit.
