Fyi Alejandro deserve 5-Stars…read more Today I visited Rose Hills Cemetery to visit my loved ones, including my Aunt, Renee Antwine. 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

Noticed upon arrival that the front office reception has been remodeled which was nice. However,…read morethree staff members sitting at front counter, you could tell none wanted to get up and assist us the minute we walked in. Acted like we were bothering them instead of being attentive to what we needed assistance with. They should've upgraded their website or added a self service kiosk aiding those needing help to find a service &/or grave. Forrest lawn gets a hand of applause for have this option available on-line including a map of their grounds. If it's such a bother please add this feature for people to use. I bet if we would've inquired about purchasing property their tune would've probably changed. So sad esp since this is a Catholic Cemetery. Do better Resurrection Cemetery & actually help those who walk into the office seeking assistance!!

They just remodeled the place and it's very beautiful! Everything has been updated from the old pew benches to the new reception area. Adrain was easy to talk to, listened to our stories, and didn't rush us. He introduced us to Francine and she was very nice. On the day of the funeral we had the pleasure of working with Leo and Tom. They were extremely nice and made sure everything was perfect. This is my third time dealing with this mortuary and every time the services were very beautiful! Thank you guys!

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.

My mother passed away recently and we decided to have her cremation and memorial service handled by…read moreRose Hills. 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.

IF YOU PLAN ON WORKING WITH THIS BRANCH, PLEASE REQUEST AN ARRANGER THAT MAINTAINS BASIC HUMAN…read moreEMOTIONS AND SKILLS. I can't believe I am even writing this after my BABY SONS funeral 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.

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.

From the very beginning, Sonia was compassionate, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. There was an error on my mother's death certificate from the hospital, and Sonia went above and beyond to help us get it corrected and ensure everything was handled properly. She gave my family and me the time and space we needed to grieve while she took care of all the details surrounding the services. Throughout the entire process, Sonia communicated clearly, kept us informed, and made sure everything was handled with care and professionalism. Her compassion and dedication truly made a difficult experience a little easier for our family. I would highly recommend Sonia to anyone in need of funeral services. We are extremely grateful for everything she did for our family during such a difficult time.

I went to a funeral here a couple of weeks ago. The facility was real nice and clean. The benches…read morewere comfortable while sitting inside during the service. The parking seem to be ample. Everything went how it should. Even though just going here as a friend passed away, the value of coming here was priceless as it was the exact place that this needed to be. It's a little bit far from where I live, but it was right next to the freeway so it's easy access to get here to leave quickly if needed. These things are never easy to go to, however, if you need a place for a final service, I would definitely suggest here.

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.

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!
