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

The workers here are amazing from the front office folks to the groundskeepers. They all take pride in working for the cemetery and keeping it running very well. We recently held a funeral in the chapel, and although it is a bit of a do it yourself experience it worked out really well. There is seating for about 100 people and HDMI hook ups to use a large screen TV for a photo show if that is what someone wants. It's also a beautiful cemetery up on a hill with a nice view.

At one point in life's journey we have to consider where to lay our head to spend our eternity…read more Physical life is an unknown amount of time for each of us. But spiritually, eternity is forever...therefore I thought very seriously about this before finally selecting the Greek Orthodox Memorial Park in Colma , CA. My choice was based on the simplistic beauty and serenity of the park with its meticulous upkeep of the grounds. Also it serves my christian faith and beliefs. We worked with each member of their staff, Steve, Danae and Jenny. Each provided us the most professional care and assistance. It made this difficult final estate planning of life into a most memorable reassuring event. They understand that each individual has different needs. So we were shown all options available, always asking what our questions or concerns were. There was never any pressure to make a quick decision. If you plan ahead you get everything you want. Wait until you are called back to eternity and your departure plans become a huge burden on your family. It is your choice today or your family's tomorrow. We highly recommend calling them. They can also assist families of all faiths.

The staff at Chapel of the Highlands went above and beyond for me and my family. I believe the…read morefirst time I attended a service there, I was around seven years old. Being part of a large, multi-generational family, I have unfortunately found myself attending services there at least once a year for much of my life. As an adult, I've had the responsibility of taking a more hands-on role in funeral planning, and I'd like to share three experiences. The first was for my uncle--while not related by blood, he was absolutely family. There was significant family drama leading up to the service, including a grandchild sending threatening messages. When the staff became aware of the situation, they handled it with professionalism and care, arranging for support to be on standby if needed. Thankfully, it wasn't necessary, but Paul was fully prepared to take care of it. The second experience was a little over a year ago, when I was making arrangements for my own mother. Paul, the owner, sat with me through the process. He and his staff were incredibly professional and compassionate. Paul made sure I understood all my options and gently reminded me to take my time--he made it clear he was there for me, without rushing me at all. The third experience was about two months ago, when I was there in my professional capacity as a minister. I was asked to support a husband making arrangements for his wife. I watched as a man, in deep grief, struggled to process what was being said. For the first time, I wasn't the family member making decisions--I was observing. The staff at Chapel of the Highlands handled everything with patience, professionalism, and genuine care. Walking through these difficult moments is never easy, but it brings comfort knowing that Paul leads a team that is caring, hardworking, and professional. While I wish I never had to return under such circumstances, I know I will continue to trust and recommend their services to anyone going through such a difficult time.

Yesterday, I had a terrible experience at Chapel of the Highlands in Millbrae. I arrived around…read morethree in the afternoon to visit my mother, who was to be buried the following day (today). Nick H and an unidentified female office clerk were unfriendly, unprofessional, and disrespectful. The facility was messy and unorganized, and the employees appeared unkempt. When I finally got to see my mother, I was horrified to see how she looked. Her face was not my mom. Her clothing was completely different from what she would normally wear. There was a scarf around her neck that seemed to be hiding something. I was so upset by the time they finished arguing that I couldn't see my mother. I felt like I couldn't properly say goodbye to her. It turned out that my siblings had an unannounced visit planned with my mother that they didn't want me to attend. The office girl apologized several times to me, for making a "terrible mistake" by telling me about the 5 p.m. viewing. But it wasn't the mistake of telling me about the viewing; it was the mistake of not letting me see my mother when I arrived and then making me stay in the lobby, telling me I couldn't see her. I would never, never, ever recommend this place, and I believe both Nick H and the office clerk should be fired immediately. **************************************************** Thank you for your response, Paul Larson. I understand that you may not agree with my review, but I encourage you to focus on the actions of your staff. I arrived at 3:00 PM and was informed that the viewing would be at 5:00 PM, which I accepted. However, when I returned at the scheduled time, I was denied the opportunity to see my mother and was asked to leave. This was extremely distressing. I made it clear that I would have contacted the police if I had not been allowed to see her. Nick H. asked me to state that I would not call the police, but I want to be clear--I would have done so if necessary. This situation was unacceptable. She is my mother, and I have every right to see her. I also find it inappropriate that your response focused on criticizing me and referencing my family rather than addressing the issue at hand. Please stop talking about my family--you have no right to do so. You don't understand our dynamics, and it's not your place to comment. Your attempts to address the situation were unhelpful and based on inaccurate assumptions about me. I stand by 1 Star.
