That alone saved me from 2 hours of LA traffic and having to navigate the Office of Vital Records while grieving. After one phone call, Braedon took care of everything quickly, professionally, and without any unnecessary complications. In a time of loss, what you want most is an ethical business that helps you with what you need without trying to exploit your vulnerability. That can be surprisingly hard to find in the funeral industry, which is why working with Life Source felt like a blessing. I received excellent service at a fair price without any upsells, pressure, or hidden fees. Because of their support, we had a beautiful burial at sea. After so many awful experiences with traditional funeral homes in the past, Life Source has restored my faith in the healing power of thoughtful and intentional end-of-life rituals. I highly recommend.

When my father died unexpectedly this year, my family was not only reeling from the loss but also…read morehad to deal with the funeral arrangements. The last one on the list was the headstone so I requested a quote from seven businesses that delivered to Rose Hills in Whittier. The response I received ran the gamut from several thousand dollars to less than a thousand with timelines that went up to six months. I was contacted by John V. from American Marble & Granite (AMG) on the same day, and he gave me the best price out of the seven businesses I contacted. With the covid pandemic, he was forthright about the timeline, which was still the shortest time among the replies I received from the other businesses. My father's headstone was delivered to Rose Hills the other day, and my family is very pleased with the craftsmanship. AMG was thoroughly professional during the entire process so it is no surprise that the company has been in business since 1894. Yes, I research the companies before I engage with them, and AMG passed from start to finish. Hence, the five stars.

My husband's daughter died very suddenly & tragically last month. Josh's enormous help, compassion and attention to detail is what got us through this ordeal.

He is quick to respond ALWAYS, answers all calls & texts quickly and accommodated some last minute requests in the best possible way. I've personally not arranged a cremation before, and he walked me through every step of the way, from interacting with the coroner, all the way to obtaining the death certificate.

I was left with the responsibility of trying to make sense of this all. During all of this, I had also moved into a our new apartment in El Monte. So when my search began for funeral arrangements. Meadows was one of the first to come up. I read such great reviews. I can honestly say they are all true. The entire team is so incredibly understanding and professional. Their packages were reasonably priced and also have other accommodations if one can't pay the full amount for the cost of services.

I chose this company specifically because of promises they didn't keep, and the entire experience…read morewas marked by poor communication and a lack of follow-through during the hardest time of my life, losing my mom. During intake, I explained that I live in a different county and have two small children, making travel difficult. I was told the company would retrieve my mother's belongings from the coroner's office when they picked her up, and that they would hand-deliver her ashes to me directly. Both of these were major reasons I chose them over other options. Neither happened as promised. On the day she was picked up, I received no final confirmation. I had to call multiple times, text, and leave voicemails just to get confirmation the next day that she'd been picked up -- and that they had not retrieved her belongings as agreed. I ended up having to make a 4-hour round trip myself to collect them. Weeks later, I got a call saying they actually couldn't cross county lines to deliver her to me after all. My options were to drive back myself or have her shipped. I chose shipping, and she was left sitting outside in the sun, I didn't even have to sign for delivery. Throughout this, I spoke with several different staff members, and no one seemed to have a clear picture of what had gone wrong or what had already been communicated. I received little acknowledgment of how badly this was handled, and no offer of any refund or compensation. I was told "not sure why we didn't get her things". When I explained they also knew I lived in a different county from the start and I was never told about crossing county lines, I was brushed off. This is one of the most sensitive services a family will ever need, and it deserves careful, consistent communication. I did not get that here, and I would not recommend this company.

They're not pushy and ask for permission for any interaction they needed to do with my brother. Truly a top notch place to memorialize your loved one. I'll always be grateful for their service.
