After the pickup we were told that a representative would reach out to us the following day so we could start making arrangements. They didn't call till 3 days later even after leaving them multiple messages! Imagine not knowing what's happening to your loved one or where they are located after they died. Our assigned rep only called AFTER I switched to Anubis Cremations and had arrangements for the body to be brought to their facilities. Wesleigh was so easy to work with. She picked up my call right away and took care of everything. She communicated every step of the way. I told her that my uncle who is a priest will be arriving in 2 weeks and we would like for the cremation and memorial service to happen while he was here. She mentioned that it's a very tight schedule but she would try to make it happen. And she 100% delivered!!! Within an hour of my initial call she had my auntie's body arranged for pickup, she sent paperwork to us and the doctor so she could start the process of filing the death certificate. The church where we wanted the memorial service wouldn't let us reserve a time till they had a cremation date. We were able to get the cremation date within a few days. We opted for a private open viewing at the crematory in Van Nuys. The crematory only does night time viewing which worked well for us since our family is busy working during the day. Wesleigh's coworker Jonathan took great care of us at the viewing. The place had a room for up to 15 people where family members could sit with the casket prior to the cremation. They dressed our auntie in her formal barong and jewelry. We were allowed to provide flowers, letters, and mementoes in the cardboard casket. Jonathan gave us sharpies so we could write notes on the casket. There were aslo tissues and an easel for our use. Although the viewing was technically 15 minutes, we were not rushed and were given about 20-25 minutes to do a prayer service and say our goodbyes. And then Jonathan and another employee wheeled her into the crematory. We watched them place her casket in the "oven" and once the door closed we left. They even allowed us to live stream the entire time we were there to our auntie's relatives back in the Philippines. The following day Wesleigh delivered the ashes to the church and she provided the letters and instructions we needed to bring the ashes back to the Philippines. We were also very happy with the urn we ordered from Anubis. It was engraved and had a photo of our auntie. It was perfect. I can't thank Wesleigh and Jonathan enough for providing an outstanding service that was stress-free, efficient, compassionate, and super professional during this difficult time of grief. I whole-heartedly recommend Annubis.

El Toro Memorial Park, is a cemetery tucked back off of Trabuco Road. This is a somewhat small but…read morenot too small cemetery in Lake Forest. I've been here many times visiting my relatives who have passed away. The chapel is right as you enter the high gates. The cemetery, is very well kept, clean, beautiful and quiet. In the last several years they've remodeled and cleaned up the public restroom. I haven't been in the small chapel so I can't speak to that. I also can't speak to the cost of having family buried here since I married into the family, but knowing them, this is probably a financially cost effective place to bury a loved one, while still being in a beautiful location. Not bashing, they're just good about being conscious of cost without compromising on their money's worth. The cemetery is surrounded by a park at the back end, apartments one side, houses on another, and a Catholic Church. This place has nice hills of green grass. They don't have a lot of upright headstones and it likely changed to in-ground headstones only after a certain year, because you don't see anything but very old ones standing erect. There are a good amount of trees, however, I wish they actually had more, particularly the very back end where it is flat and sits below a park. That area sits under full sun and visiting our loved ones back there can get super hot without relief. Many people have picnics and spend the day with their loved ones. You'll always see a lot of flowers laid out by the many visitors. I like this cemetery because it's not too big. It feels more homey and comfortable, much better than a large cemetery such as Forrest Lawn. I think you would like this place for a loved one if you ever had to bury them here. It really is quite peaceful.

This was a…read morepre-need scenario, which made it that much easier during the pain, chaos, and confusion when a loved one passes. There are so many things that you have to deal with when it comes to the death of a loved one, but taking care of the remains in a dignified and respectful manner should not be one of them. The Trident society really went above and beyond to make this difficult time more comforting. The entire staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome, comforted, and at ease. The place itself is very neat and tidy, no cheesy background music playing, as I have experienced in other funeral homes. Homes. Just peace and quiet which was a welcome difference. They had a room set up where I was going to pick up the cremated remains, it was very respectful and very soothing. Soothing. Almost like a second memorial service. Kudos to the team at Trident for making a difficult situation that much easier. Bottom line? Nobody really likes to talk about death, let alone setting up a pre-need beforehand. I highly recommend that you do, as that will take one thing off of your plate that you shouldn't have to worry about while you're sorting out the rest of the details. Details. If cremation is your preferred way to be handled, I would highly recommend going to the Trident society.

The staff was present, but enough in the background that they weren't obtrusive. (I will say, however, that during one of the eulogies we could hear someone opening & closing what sounded like a loud door just behind us that was a tad distracting. I wish that wasn't happening). We were in one of the larger rooms, but it was still small enough to be intimate. I really appreciated it. It brought everyone there together as one to honor my great uncle. I say that only because if you expect a very large group, O'Connor might not be able to accommodate you so you might want to ask them about how many people they can hold in their rooms. In all, we had a good experience in our short time at O'Connor's. They did a wonderful job of helping us honor our family member.
