This was during a time when everyone was having issues with stock including Costco! Casket Warehouse had a great selection and great quality and a really great price.

She takes her time and feels like an old friend during a tough time. It's no wonder they have so many great reviews.

I loved that when we went here the staff wasn't there pressuring you or making all sorts of recommendations but stood by and waited patiently till you had a question.

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.

The service was very moving, with a three-volley salute, which is a military honor for those who served. There was also a covered space so guests did not have to stand under the sun. This is a very big cemetery, but once you drive up to the entrance kiosk, you can ask to find a burial space. The grounds are very open and small roads in between to drive through. Parking can be very limited during national holidays and large funeral events. There was almost no parking during Memorial Day when visited earlier this year. And you can't really park outside the cemetery because it's just a large road, with multi-lane traffic. So for non-event days, parking will be easy, but for major events, this is a very busy place.

I looked at the graves, then walked through the mausoleum. I was only at the cemetery for about 5 minutes, and was leaving. I was told by a grounds keeper 6 months ago that the building was open to the public. I was walking out the door to leave the property. A black guy came out from the crematorium and started yelling at me to get out, and don't come back. Then said, and stop going to that building next door and knocking on the door. I never knocked on any door at all. I honestly thought he was going to hit me when he came out he was so agressive, and he looked high on meth, and seemed delusional, accusing me of crazy stuff, and I got the feeling he thought I was someone who was bothering him all morning. I've never seen him before. I was hoping to ask someone about the movie night and pumpkin patch events on the property, being that I have run halloween events since 1987, and know all the Halloween event owners and pumpkin patches in Socal. But now I'm honestly affraid this weird person is going to attack me if I ever go there again, because I think there is a mental dissorder or drug induced delusions with this guy.

I also had the privilege of their services once again, when my god brother transitioned and Tillman Mortuary provided services again, down to the finalization of the committal. At the grave site one staff member in particular was very caring, understanding, and accommodating toward the family's needs. I briefly spoke with him and also let him know that their services were five professional. I was very impressed with Mr. Myron rice. I felt compelled to write an excellent review, particularly focusing on Mr. Rice professionalism! This review is long overdue, for both services were rendered several months ago. I do apologize to Mr rice, because I mentioned to him, I would definitely write a review and specifically mention his name. May God continue to bless this establishment in succeeding. I highly recommend them for any of your loved ones professional needs. Professional caring is what Tillman Mortuary provides
