My daughter, son-in-law and I, recently utilized the services of Desert View Memorial Park in…read moreOctober 2025 for the inurnment of their daughter, my granddaughter, Annette. This was a particularly meaningful decision for us, as Annette's baby brother, Gary, was buried in their Babyland section in 1988, and our deepest wish was to have Annette close to him. We were so fortunate to be helped by Bobby Bresino. During a time of immense sensitivity, Bobby was truly a comfort. He never rushed us, taking all the time needed to patiently explain the options, gave alternatives, and a tour the various beautiful spaces. We decided on an elegant and perfect spot in the "Glass Front Niches" for Annette's final resting place. Beyond the compassionate service, the park itself is immaculately kept, spacious, and beautiful. We highly recommend Desert View for its lovely property and the truly caring staff like Bobby.

[This review is for Desert View Memorial Park]…read more I found this lovely cemetery by accident - it's just down the road from the awful Victorville Cracker Barrel, which we were leaving in such a huff that we took a wrong turn. I explore and photograph cemeteries all over the United States and Europe, and this park gave me a beautiful shot of an angel grave marker with a joshua tree in the background. They're not kidding about the "desert view" as the pièce de résistance - there isn't a lot of statuary art, and it's a smaller park with sandy flat land and mountain vistas in the distance.

The Transport team, specifically Greg Luna and Abel Gonzalez, provided exceptional service during…read moreone of the most difficult times for our family. They arrived at my parents' home to transport my father after his passing and handled everything with the utmost professionalism, sincerity, and compassion. From the moment they arrived, nothing felt rushed. They carefully explained each step and treated my father with the dignity and respect he deserved, as if he were their own family member. As a special and meaningful touch, they honored his U.S. Army service by covering him with a flag. That gesture meant a great deal to us. Greg and Abel are true professionals who did an outstanding job. I highly recommend their services. Thank you both for your kindness and care.

No one wants to need the services of a mortuary. But if you have a loved one that passes, Preston…read more& Simons can handle all of your needs in a loving compassionate manner. Brandon and his staff are very empathetic and attentive to any and all of your needs. We never had to ask for anything. They anticipated our every need. When they had learned that my father in law was a classic car enthusiast, they offered the services of their 1947 Cadillac Hearse. His friends all commented that he would have loved that his last ride was in such a beautiful car. We can't say enough about how well we were treated. I don't want to go back to Preston & Simons, but if and when I need the services of a mortuary, this is where I will be going. Thank you Brandon.

Brandon and his staff took care of all our needs no questions asked. When searching for a…read moremortuary, I visited several in Riverside. Brandon's was the final stop. Even though he had a service going, he took the time to sit down with us and review the process, what services he provides, and fees. No computers, book, or calculating was needed. He knew all costs off the top of his head and was familiar with the cemetery and church that we were considering. He gave us his card and told us to call him when the time comes. No money was needed in advance, no paperwork needed to be signed, and no pressure was given to select Preston and Simons. When the time came, he took care of my mother and family. He gave us his personal phone number and was always available to answer all questions. Because of him, we had a death certificate ready within a week, a service booked through him, the cemetery booked, casket ordered, and flowers ordered. Still no money exchanged hands as we were waiting on life insurance. He was aware of this and never requested fees from us knowing it would come the day of the service. The facility itself was spacious and offers an upstairs reception area at an additional cost. We used this for family and friends to sit together after the viewing and eat while waiting for the service. The space was well worth the money. Brandon's character is the true seller. He is kind and compassionate. He didn't make our questions or needs seem like a burden and was always quick to respond. He is very much an expert in his field and connected with his community. This is a place I hope I don't have to return to for many decades, but when the time comes this will be the place for me and my family.

Death has a way of stripping things down to the essentials. No flash, no filler--just the ceremony,…read morethe grief, the memories. I came here for a funeral, and what struck me was the simplicity done right. The grounds were clean, orderly, and cared for. Nothing felt neglected or forgotten. The facilities--quiet, respectful, and well put together--let the service happen without distraction. There was space to breathe, to park, to gather. No chaos, no confusion, no sense of being herded through some machine of ritual. Just the dignity of things working the way they should in a moment when everything else feels fragile. You don't come here looking for joy. You come because someone's story has ended. And when that happens, what you want--what you need--is a place that handles it with care and competence. That's what I found here. Five stars. Not because it was "fun" or "exciting," but because when life hands you the hardest days, a place like this reminds you that the basics--clean grounds, space for family, respect for the moment--still matter.
