My grandmother said to me that its just easier here and we are familiar with it so when the time comes just make it easy for yourself and choose the same place. So that's what I did. The funeral director met with me at 10:30am and I was done signing and choosing everything by 11:30am. I chose just cremation, no embalming, no pre-service or viewing, no viewing of the cremation, no casket or fancy urn, just the basic everything. I will get a nice urn later and have them transfer her from the temporary container to a nice urn i pick out online. Now you can go all out and select the most expensive everything but that is not what I did. I likely will have a service or rememberance a few months from now. The director who assisted me was very spft spoken, clear, and had a nice demeanor. All things that put you at ease when you are definitely not at ease. My one tip would be to call, make an appointment and be sure to bring the deceased birth certificate, and marriage certificate if you have them. It will help fill things out much faster. So grateful that this place is clear and transparent on costs, affordable in my opinion, and makes things easy!

A staff member, whose picture and name are no longer showing on their website, was extremely rude and obnoxious to my guests, who had a few questions when inside the office.

Staff member Maria Karger, who initially assisted me, was most helpful throughout the process. The Inurnment of my Dearly Departed took place on April 25th, 2025.

Most of my family is at rest at St. Mary's Cemetery in Oakland. We have a long history there over…read morethe years. My grandfather worked there during the days you had to dig graves by hand. It is a very peaceful cemetery with beautiful views. I recently lost my 99 year old uncle I was caring for. He had already purchased a crypt in the wall with pre-need insurance for everything else. The office staff (Maria and Rosario) were very understanding, compassionate and helpful. They set me up with Tony Tran, one of the Family Service Advisors, to coordinate final arrangements with the church and mortuary. I highly recommend working with Tony during your time of need. He really helped me out greatly with all the forms required and answered all my questions. He has lots of experience working with families in grief. He was present during the entombment to ensure everything was coordinated with the priests and staff. I highly recommend St. Mary's Cemetery for your pre-need arrangements and when the need arises.

The cemeteries are on the south side of the street, starting just after you see "Christian World" Church & Childcare Center. St Michaels is very low profile, clean, and has a nice staff who do not hover. The grass is lush, green & evenly cut. There is one circular drive you can park on, 2 car park next to the office. The largest areas have grave markers. There are a couple of walls to hold your loved one's ashes. There seems to be niches still available. Across from the wall of niches the staff will erect a tent and chairs that can accommodate a small service. The weather can be pretty hot in Livermore, so shade is a must. It's plenty quiet and easy to hear people talking without microphones. Many people have placed plastic flowers, flags and a few children's toys and plastic jewelry on the grave markers. Feel free to bring an ipod with portable speakers or personal items of meaning for the service. The niche is slightly larger than the container of ashes and covered with a brass plaque so you can't see anything inside. You are left alone to do your own thing if you want for your memorial service. The niche brass name plates all match in a good way, weathering beautifuly like brass does. Each grave section has a sign saying "Garden of Love." This seems to be a good place to conduct non-denominational services. There is a chapel if you wish to have a more formal religious service.

When my mother passed away, the hospice nurse called Grissom's C&B, and they came very quickly to transport her. They were very professional and courteous. Also, they were thoughtful enough to tell us to wait in another room while they were getting her ready to transport because, "it will be the last thing you see of her". The entire interaction with them at her home was very respectful and dignified. Two days later, we met with Lisa, the owner of Grissom's C&B. She was very knowledgeable and walked us through the process, telling us what to expect and the timing of when things would happen. All the prices were clear, and there were no hidden fees or unexpected expenses. We couldn't have been more pleased with Grissom's C&B and how they helped us navigate through a difficult time. At this same time, we asked if Grissom's C&B could help us get my grandfather's cremains buried with his parents in a rural cemetery three thousand miles away. It was not clear who was in charge of this cemetery. Still, Grissom's C&B did the research and, in the end, contacted eleven different entities/people before finding the correct one. We were very impressed with their dogged determination to find the answer. In addition, they handled the transportation of his cremains across the country. Everything went very smoothly. We would not hesitate to recommend Grissom's Cremation and Burial to anyone.

From the director and pastor to every member of the front-line team, everyone was kind, attentive, and supportive.

It truly felt like every need was anticipated, allowing our family to focus on grieving and being together. Thank you, Fry Memorial, for handling everything with such care and for easing the burden on our family during a very sad time.
