I really love Stockton Rural Cemetery. There is so much history here, and when you walk through the…read moreolder sections, you can really feel how many lives and stories rest here. Like many historic cemeteries, some of the older graves and areas need care and restoration. Still, it's important to remember that this cemetery is a nonprofit, and they do their best with the resources they have. I appreciate the effort, the respect, and the continued preservation of such an essential piece of Stockton's history. The staff are invaluable. If you visit, walk slowly. Read the names. Notice the children's markers, the Odd Fellows plots, the monuments, and the memorials to those who were buried without names. It's a reminder of how precious every life is.

When my dad passed away we thought he had previously picked out what he wanted for his funeral…read more Turned out he just got info, brochures and the like. Moses was fabulous in helping me figure out all what was needed to make a lovely Catholic funeral Mass happen for him. He did it all and coordinated bringing my dad from another funeral home in another state (he lived there but wanted to be buried in the cemetery his parents are at in Stockton) so was just a little more complicated. Plus I had my brother's cremated remains I wanted to be buried with dad. Moses made it all come together without a hitch The music and singers he booked were fabulous and their location is beautiful for any services you would want to do there. Ours was a little more detailed because we had the Rosary the night before, Mass at the church the next day then followed to the cemetery for the graveside part. He and all the other staff were very professional and right on every little detail. I cannot thank everyone at Casa Bonita enough for such a wonderful job they did. This is not an easy business and I see some not good reviews on here but I have to say those people have to be something wrong personally because of course a business has to be paid. Yes, everyone pays otherwise you don't stay in business very long. Moses helped me save alot of money by finding solutions for a couple of very high cost items, so I personally know he's not out to get every dollar you have. In fact I need to contact him soon to start pre-need planning for mom because she will be buried with dad and I'm not going to go anywhere else. My Nonnie's funeral was also held here in 2015 and although I had no part in planning hers, I did attend and hers was just as lovely. I'm sure that is why my dad got brochures and information back then. You can be sure everything will go smoothly when Moses is taking care of things. Thank you for everything you do.

While the establishment seems old, it's really historic in its beautiful vintage way if you will…read more Michael the owner and director was such a big help. No one ever prepares you to plan for a funeral service of a loved one but Michael was really communicative, patient, accommodating, understanding, and offered so much help and knowledge during the entire process from start to end. Initially, the reviews deterred me from this establishment but after seeing it for myself, experiencing it myself..... I would had say it turned out really well and as best as it can be. We received tons of compliments for the service. The entire space is pretty huge and we unexpectedly had a large gathering of family and friends and there was still plenty of space. The parking lot was also a huge plus with ample parking throughout the sides/back. Thank you Michael and Laura for everything.

The company that he uses for "pre-planning" has been nothing but a nightmare. I've contacted his business numerous times and spoken with his "team" and asked for a call from Mike which I have never received. I find it funny/odd that either he never gets his messages or he disregards them. Every time I've called, he was either not available due to not in office or not available due to a service. But even having left a message numerous times I have not received a call back.

It would never have occurred to me to write a review for them until I came across a ridiculously rude review below that I both reported and am offsetting with a positive review to put their rating back where it belongs. The grounds are beautiful, the ambience is peaceful and I feel good about selecting this site as a final resting place. ....throwing a temper tantrum and giving a location like this a negative review because you couldn't pee there- during covid no less- gives an entirely mislead perception of how it actually is to someone considering this as the final resting place for their loved one. Shame on you.

The roads could be better improved. Several of the trees' roots have lifted the roads, making each road seem like it has several bumps. You definitely need to drive slow here.

This review is regarding my family's dissatisfaction with the workmanship on a headstone engraved…read morein October 2023 by Graystone Monuments, Stockton, CA. Our dissatisfaction stems from the lack of quality of the engraving for my mother who died February 16, 2023 and is now buried in San Joaquin Catholic Cemetery in the same plot as her husband. Her husband died in 1995 and his information was already on the headstone. ln March 2023 I engaged Graystone Monuments to engrave my mother's information alongside his. I provided a mock-up of the wording and expected the new engraving to match the existing engraving. It does not. The new engraving font is slightly smaller, not as deep, and not as wide. After they did the work, the new information did not match the old and was hardly visible. I provided them photos showing the problem. There were several conversations with them on this subject, with their last email to me on 3/16/2024 saying "There is nothing else we can do for you." It appears to me that their on-site engraving capability was either insufficient or their craftsman was not qualified. Their only suggestion was to let the marker age and no one would be able to notice the difference.
