They specialize in coordinating bringing families to loved ones from CA to Mexico, when needed, but this was the reverse scenario, and was significantly more complicated. Jaime and Jessica bent over backwards for our family, and through all the red tape (and there was an enormous amount of red tape) and they were always extremely kind and thoughtful, and forthcoming on updates. Jessica even continued assisting us, while still out on leave, so that she could assist in translating the documents from Mexico. We can't thank you ladies enough!!! When doing price comparison's Eggen & Lance Chapel were very affordable, very accommodating, and their funeral chapel very pretty. I highly recommend them. Had it not have been for their hard work, my family member might still be stuck in Mexico, or forced to be bured there. With Jaime's and Jessica's help and expertise, we finally got my brother home, and laid to rest. On behalf of the 3 sisters ....we thank you so very very much!!! We can't recommend you enough!!!

I am deeply disappointed and frustrated by the lack of empathy and professional flexibility shown…read moreby the staff at Pleasant Hills Memorial Park and Mortuary. We are currently navigating the devastating loss of my close relative, who passed away while under the 'care' of her 'husband.' Despite the fact that the biological family--not the 'husband'--has fully funded the burial and the headstone, the administration is stubbornly siding with his demand to include his name on the monument. Without a head stone it has been very difficult for mourning family to even identify where she is buried. They have refused all attempts at compromise. The cemetery personnel have remained completely intransigent, ignoring the family's wishes and the specific circumstances of this tragedy. Rather than being a place of peace and healing, their rigid adherence to "standard protocol" over common sense and financial responsibility has added unnecessary trauma to an already heartbreaking situation. If you are looking for a facility that values the input of the grieving family members who are actually responsible for the arrangements, look elsewhere.

My family laid my Great Grandmother and Great Grandfather to rest here, so when my Grandmother…read morepassed this where she wanted to be. First of all, it is a BEAUTIFUL location, so peaceful. My Grandmother's service was last year and the woman we worked with was great. Since her service I have visited monthly and always bring a bouquet of silk flowers for my visit with her. The first handful of months when I would visit, the flowers I had brought her were still present in their small terracotta pot that I arranged them in (with the green styrofoam in the bottom of the pot--as one would do to secure the flowers from flying away or falling). As the months went by, and I went to visit, the flowers from the previous visit would be removed, which bothered me a bit but I didn't think too much into it, as there were many rainy days. This past month I visited once again and her flowers were once again removed, but this time, the terracotta pot was left behind. The flowers removed and styrofoam removed, which had to take some effort because I am sure to jam it down into the bottom of the pot. Not only was the empty pot just sitting there, but there was TRASH IN IT next to my Grandmother's plot. Needless to say, that was the point of me being officially upset. I went to the office and waited for someone to come out so I could speak to them and figure out what the deal was with maintenance, thinking maybe they have a system in place where they dispose of flowers after a certain amount of time. A woman did eventually come out, not the sweet lady that helped with my Grandmother's service, but another woman who I wish I had got her name, but I didn't. Either way, I explained the situation and concerns, and asked if there was a schedule for disposing flowers so I could adjust my visits accordingly to be sure my Grandmother has flowers rather than nothing or an empty pot with trash in it. The woman informed me that they actually don't allow "decorations" and any "decorations" are disposed of whenever the landscapers come across them. I was taken back and had to clarify, that she did in fact mean that flowers were considered "decorations" and that they were not allowed, to which she said "yes, that is correct". I looked on their website and see nothing about this but conveniently see a whole section about sending flowers. I find this very off putting and in poor taste. Especially given that throughout the property there are many trees with ornaments in them in honor of peoples loved ones who have passed, and flowers all over the property. I hope that the owner or director can provide information about this on their website, as I am sure I am not the only one who enjoys visiting their loved ones and bringing flowers. I am going back next week and I am hoping that if my Grandmother's flowers were once again disposed of that they did not leave an empty pot next to her plot to become a trash can. I will not be as kind and understanding if that is the case.

From the very beginning, their team was patient, compassionate, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. After a previous experience with another funeral home where everything felt urgent, this was completely different. The atmosphere here was serene, welcoming, and allowed us the space to breathe, ask questions, and make decisions with care. We genuinely felt supported every step of the way. Because of this experience, I now feel inspired to plan my own arrangements ahead of time so my family can focus on grieving and being together, rather than navigating logistics during such a painful time. I am deeply grateful for the care they provided. 10/10, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of compassionate and professional funeral services.

I was here to visit the final resting place of Robert Ripley, the man who created the famous…read moreOdditorium and the man behind "Ripley's Believe It or Not." And in the process of finding it, there was a lot of searching and walking the cemetery. It is in very good condition, one of the "lawn" style cemeteries rather than "park" style. Laid out in lines with sections and lanes between them, it's an easy walk and in fact a number of folks were here that were clearly not mourners but walkers. I would suggest that if you are walking, do so respectfully and no, dogs are NOT permitted in the cemetery at any time. Ripley was born in Santa Rosa n 1890. He moved to New York in 1913 to work for the New York Globe. Writing a regular feature, it grew from weekly to daily publication and was soon syndicated to a variety of newspapers around North America. At the height of its popularity it was estimated that "Believe It or Not" was being read by daily by 80 million people. On May 27, 1949, Robert Ripley succumbed to a heart attack at the age of 59. He is buried alongside his parents here. Ripley's burial plot is in the LOT section that is sort of between the Santa Rosa Memorial Park and the Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery. The closest address is 1598 Franklin Avenue. [Review 21011 overall - 528 in California - 1996 of 2023.]
