    Both gravesites with our decorations.

    Cindy the manager is extremely disrespectful and does not care one bit about mourning families. If I could move my family member out of this cemetery I would. The people running this place only care about your money. You can not put anything for your loved one since they use this cemetery often to record movies or shows. If I could warn anyone to spend their money somewhere else this is a place I'd recommend you to not spend your money at!

    We could not have asked for a kinder, more considerate, and accommodating team than the people we had the pleasure of working with at Mountain View Mortuary in Altadena. Funerals are never an easy task to undergo and the financial pressure and stress to organize such for a loved one can be a tough go. Anna not only made this process straight forward and easy to understand, but she also made it stress free and was extremely patient in listening to our needs. The value and service Mountain View provided was top notch and we are very grateful to Anna, Nate our amazing funeral director, George from the crematorium, and the entire staff at Mountain View!

    How can you put into words what needs to be done in these circumstances. With something as difficult as death, I have to say how much I appreciate everything Anna, Oscar and the whole staff made it so we missed no detail. The Chapel was very nice, with ac and ceiling fans it helped keep the heat outside. We had some snackies set out and water so our guest can relax from the traffic getting there. The parking lot was spacious and the whole area felt very serene.

    Mountain View helped my family and I when no other cemetery or mortuary would. My mom unfortunately passed away in the Philippines despite being a long time SoCal resident. We laid her to rest there as it was her final wish but we still wanted to have a celebration fo her life here in CA for her family and friends. I called around to places like Forrest Lawn and other mortuaries in the area but no one would service us because we didn't actually have my mother's remains anymore so there wasn't an additional fee to gain. Luckily I found Mountain View and they accommodated us without hesitation. Elizabeth, my counselor was wonderful and connected me with a wonderful Reverend (Luft Johnson) as well as all the staff who would be helping me out on the day. Every member of their staff was so sweet and helpful and helped make my mother's celebration of life a very special day. I can't thank them enough.

    I love visiting these old cemeteries that have tombstones with beautiful artwork. The new cemeteries of today don't have the same vibe and creepiness of these historic cemeteries. This place closes a bit too early at 500pm when they should be closing at sundown like many other cemeteries in LA County.

    It seems a little strange reviewing a cemetery, but this place was seriously breathtaking. I was headed over to the mountains to go for a hike with one of my clients and as we drove past this place, she was the one who suggested we go here instead. We spent a good two hours here walking around and taking in the stunning scenery: the tombstones, the alters, and the amazing variety of trees spread throughout the land. We also came across a gentleman doing some gardening maintenance. He had been working there for awhile and gave a little more history about the place as well as the rumors of ghosts people have encountered. I love that sort of stuff so I was in awe while listening to him haha. He suggested we check out the mausoleum so we headed there next. Holy crap. I couldn't believe how gorgeous it was inside. It seemed unreal and it was so quiet, eerie even. I loved every minute of it. While in the mausoleum I felt like I was in another country due to all the stained glass and decor choices that had been made. It seems like a strange thing to recommend, but you have to check this place out. It's beautiful. A lovely place to see or just to visit and write in your journal.

    See all

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!
