There are suddenly so many things to do when a loved one dies unexpectedly, and they walked us through EVERY detail. Ydiera, who we were working with, was so sensitive and sincere and did not try to "upsell" us or sell us anything we didnt need at our most vulnerable time. I truly believe that God graced us with Ydiera when we needed it most. Again, there are lots of decisions that need to be made, and choosing Hilgenfeld was the best one we could have done. Thank you, Ydiera.

We are grateful for the kind staff at Brea Memory Garden Memorial Park and Mortuary. We do wish the…read morefacility would've been a little better cared for and the operations just a little more professional. Leslie was so sweet and soft spoken I actually wished for a little more brusque professionalism. However, I overheard someone else's similar intake conversation with a different associate and was glad for Leslie's competence. She answered most of our questions easily and was able to find the answers she didn't immediately know. When we walked the grounds on our own to see if and where we might want to bury our daughter, we were stopped by one of the groundskeepers to ask if we needed help finding or tending a grave. He was so kind and we were amazed by his care and attention. When we decided to use their cremation services instead, we were quoted certain pricing over the phone (by Linda) that they were, ultimately and unfortunately, not willing to honor. I didn't have the heart to quibble over $75 when I was mourning the loss of my daughter, so we let it slide. During the intake conversation it seemed Leslie was obligated to show us their showroom even though we told her we would be making the urn. She wasn't rude. Just made us aware that we would be seeing the showroom before we left (even though we didn't need it). Still, she didn't hound us to purchase anything or choose any particular options. Also during the intake conversation, there was a service in session in the connected chapel. There was chanting and incense and it carried strongly into the connected funeral home and offices. It gave us both headaches from the strength of the noise and scent. So we wish the offices were kept a little more separate to avoid the discomfort. The funeral home itself is so charming, but in definite disrepair. It's a colonial establishment and theme and we both loved it. However, the carpet is rippled, the walls and baseboards have gouges and dings, and the bathrooms are old and dirty. I absolutely loved the atrium space with the fountain and flowers. I spent most of my time looking out the windows at the atrium while we waited for the paperwork to be copied and verified. The small but beautiful atrium soothed my soul. We chose to attend the cremation. Leslie walked us back and the crematory manager, Eric, met us and explained the process. It was 96 degrees outside and the room didn't have air conditioning so everyone was uncomfortable. But Eric still wore his suit coat and didn't rush us. Told us to take as much time as we needed. He handed me tissues when I was overwhelmed and the told stories to try to raise my spirits. I understood the kindness and empathy and generosity of spirit behind his actions. We ultimately waited in the lobby for the duration of the cremation. This is where we found out that a lot of business is conducted out in the lobby for anyone to witness. That was the unprofessional part. I even hate to mention it because the staff was always so compassionate toward us. But the business should've been handled elsewhere. We got to hear everyone's personal business. The manager came and spent some time with us again while we waited and told more stories and really showed such kindness and compassion. When we picked up her ashes, the manager met us again and brought her ashes out himself and spent more time chatting and making sure we were happy with the way things turned out that were within our control. Overall, I would recommend Brea Memory Garden Memorial Park and Mortuary. I wouldn't hesitate to say that it's not the most professional establishment, but the employees are good and compassionate people. Eric is so kind. I'd also mention the funeral home is in a bit of disrepair. However, the grounds are peaceful and pleasant and have been in great repair each time we've visited.

I've been interested in the funeral business since 2018 and have reached out to places on and off just hoping to learn more. I wasn't even asking for a job, just insight, but no one ever took the time to respond. Ryan did. He spent nearly two hours of his day talking with me, while still managing his work, answering all of my questions about the industry, his role, and what it's really like to be in this field. He even shared ways I could get started at an entry-level position, which was incredibly helpful and thoughtful. It's rare to meet someone so knowledgeable and generous with their time, especially when they're not getting anything in return. Ryan is sincere, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about what he does. I only wish I had known about him when my own family needed services. Ryan Preston is truly exceptional, and I'm very grateful he took the time to speak with me.

We wanted to serve coffee and some snacks, they had 3 tables ready to go in the back of the room which I decorated and arranged food on. I brought 2 carafes to make coffee in as well as table decorations and some finger foods. It worked out perfectly. Overall, we were all so grateful for everything England Family Mortuary had to offer and the services they provided.
