Several years ago when my husband was put in a care facility, they wanted to know who to call when…read morehe passed. I was looking at mortuaries, alone with an unfamiliar duty in an unfamiliar location. I finally turned to Yelp to see what was posted about mortuaries I'd looked at when David from Honor Cremations popped up to say he thought he could help me. I truly felt an instant feeling of safety and trust. Sometimes we're lucky enough to get guidance. David is kind, sympathetic and morale. I spent the next several years feeling secure for when the time came. One of the few things I was able to feel secure about. When my husband did pass in the middle of the night in the veteran hospital hospice, they knew to call Honor. Because it might take time for Honor to arrive, the hospital wanted to take my husband to their mortuary and I refused saying we would wait for Honor. I trusted them and knew he'd be in good hands and those feelings were right. The gentleman who arrived to take my husband helped the nurse prepare him so when he came out of the room he was draped in the American flag. With everything else my husband and I went through with the change in care facilities, finances, and just 'handling it all' as my husband's condition worsened over the years, David's honesty and compassion took this step off my shoulders. I have purchased Honor Cremation for myself, so our children have the confidence to know everything will be taken care of. Thank you David and Honor Cremations. When so many unexpected doors closed with years-long tragedy, you offered a safe open door.

I cannot thank the team at Honor Cremation enough for the care they showed my family during my…read moremom's cremation and memorial process. Losing a parent is incredibly hard, but they handled everything with such a high level of dignity and grace that it truly eased some of the burden for us. Communication: From the very first call, I felt heard and supported. They were incredibly patient with all of my questions and kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind. The Process: I found their approach to be very modern, transparent, and straightforward. There was never any pressure or "salesy" feeling, just genuine empathy and a focus on what my mother and our family needed. The Memorial: They helped us navigate the details for her memorial with so much respect. Everything was handled professionally, allowing us to focus on honoring her memory rather than worrying about the logistics. I am so grateful to have had their guidance during this time. If you are looking for a team that treats your loved ones with true honor and provides a seamless, compassionate experience, I cannot recommend them highly enough. I also really appreciated the honesty in their business model. I know it could technically be cheaper if they did every single thing in-house, but they intentionally use outside sources for certain steps to ensure everything is handled by specialists. I actually felt like I got more value this way because I knew I was getting the best possible care at every stage. It's also worth noting for other families that they don't have an embalming service; they focus purely on a dignified, natural process which was exactly what we wanted for my mom. I am so grateful to have had their guidance during this time. If you are looking for a team that treats your loved ones with true honor and provides a seamless, compassionate experience, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Honor Cremation, for taking such wonderful care of my mom.

Very small parking lot that has one driveway entrance that dead ends (meaning the kind of parking lot where you'd have to back out of you can't turn yourself around to drive out head first). Fortunately, the parking lot was practically empty when I arrived late afternoon within an hour of their closing. The lady at the store was very helpful and understanding. She told me that since the body would be collected at El Camino Hospital, she recommended that I contact their Mountain View location on Castro St, due to proximity to the hospital. She gave me a helpful informational checklist. And she told me more about their process and pricing. This location has a small show room with full size caskets; the Mountain View location is smaller than this, and only has "sample" size display examples mounted on a wall.

My mother passed away two weeks ago, and today I went to bring her home. Unfortunately, what should…read morehave been one of the most meaningful and compassionate moments of my life became one of the most upsetting. We specifically upgraded and paid for a "gold/bronze" boxed urn to bring my mom home in. Instead, after getting home and unwrapping everything with my family, I discovered that her ashes had been placed in a plain plastic container. Because everything was wrapped when it was handed to me, I had no reason to believe anything was wrong. This isn't something most people have experience with, and in that emotional moment I trusted that everything had been prepared correctly. What was equally disappointing was the complete lack of empathy during the pickup. I was simply handed my mother's remains with little acknowledgment of the significance of the moment. There was no effort to verify the contents with me or ensure that everything matched what had been arranged. I have spent the last 20 years caring for my mother, and I also work in healthcare. I understand that people in this profession deal with death and grief every day. However, for families, this is not routine--this is one of the hardest days of our lives. Compassion, attention to detail, and respect matter immensely. The only positive experience I had was with the woman who originally helped my mother make her arrangements about a year before she passed. She was kind, thoughtful, and compassionate. Unfortunately, the care we received afterward did not reflect that same level of professionalism. This was one of the most painful experiences of my life, and the mistakes and lack of compassion only added to our grief. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this business. After discovering the mistake, I immediately contacted the business and am currently waiting for a return call. I sincerely hope they take responsibility for what happened and make this right. I will update my review based on how they choose to address this situation.

Daniel, the funeral director at Lima & Campagna, was truly a blessing to our family during one of…read morethe most difficult, life-altering moments of our lives. When my father passed away at home, surrounded by his loved ones, Daniel came to retrieve him with such professionalism, compassion, and respect. He was incredibly gentle and cared for my dad's body as though he were still alive. He patiently waited while every member of our family had the opportunity to say their final goodbyes before gently and respectfully taking my father into his care. One small gesture that meant so much to us was that Daniel asked what my father's favorite music was so he could play it for him during the drive back to Lima & Campagna. That level of thoughtfulness and care is something our family will never forget. Daniel was also incredibly accommodating, offering helpful advice about services and providing kind, supportive words to our family as we grieved. Daniel's experience really shows through the way that he handles the business side of death; all paperwork was organized and well prepared. As devastating as losing a parent is, I feel so much more at peace knowing that my dad was treated with such dignity, gentleness, and care. Thank you, Daniel, for taking such wonderful care of my father and for showing our family so much compassion during an incredibly heartbreaking time. We will never forget your kindness.

Don is truly the best of the best, and I am so grateful to have had him by my side during such a difficult time. I highly recommend him and Lima & Campagna Sunnyvale Mortuary.

From the initial body collection through the funeral service itself, their team helped shoulder a burden that felt impossible at the time. Ian, Michelle, Andrea, and Fabian were all kind, attentive, and deeply respectful throughout the entire process. Being able to have everything coordinated and completed within a single week was nothing short of a lifesaver, and their willingness to open early for us was an extra act of kindness we won't forget. On the day of the service, all of the flowers sent by loved ones were beautifully arranged, adding a sense of care and dignity to the space. Death is never easy to accept, and navigating logistics while grieving only makes it harder. While no one can ease the loss itself, the people at Berge‑Pappas‑Smith made an incredibly painful experience more manageable through their empathy and support. For that, our family is sincerely thankful.

Ian and the team at Berge-Pappas-Smith Chapel of The Angels in Fremont made an incredibly difficult time a little less emotionally taxing. They treated my loved one with genuine dignity and respect while also treating me with compassion, authenticity, and understanding. What stood out most was their ability to meet me where I was in the process. They never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed, and they provided clear guidance on costs, timeframes, and next steps. That clarity meant a great deal when there were already so many other things to process. Funeral arrangements are never going to be easy, but having a team that is authentic, transparent, and genuinely compassionate makes an enormous difference. I'm grateful to Ian and his team for helping us navigate a difficult moment with dignity and care. Highly recommended to anyone who finds themselves needing these services.

Cremation proceedings went along on an appropriate timeline, and I have no complaints there. I had made the assumption that urns would have engravings by default, but I was wrong there. If you want an engraving, be sure to note that in the online ordering add-ons page as it can be easy to miss. One complaint: I wish it had been disclosed earlier to me that all their South Bay locations, including the Cupertino location on Moorpark, were closed to the public, and the nearest option to pick up ashes was all the way in Brentwood - nearly a 1.5 hr drive away. If I had known that, I likely would have picked a different service as long drives are hard for me, and having ashes delivered felt inappropriate to me.
