The older blonde women who works here is extremely rude. She comes across condescending and with a…read moretone like she cares as if she's trying to explain something a 3 years old. Her demeanor is " kindly" sarcastic. Like I said she uses her soft tone to get away with how rude she is. That way no one can hear her yelling at you. After a really rough day my siblings and I just broke ...we sobbed and I mean cmon we just lost someone and were told by this "Karen" that we were to loud and needed to tone it down.... Excuse me who tells someone this?!?! How can this employee get away with being this rude. I didn't know there was a way to control grief. Go somewhere else that will be more compassionate and understanding for your rough day. Not tell you your grieving to hard.

I tried for 3 weeks to get a pay off on pre-needs account. I left messages for Marta and never…read morereceive a response from her. Finally I called on Monday December 29, 2025 and asked for pay off and she said she would call and get that for me. I asked for the number and she said she would have to look it up and get back to me in 2 days. Once again no returned phone call. I called on Friday January 2, 2026 and asked for pay off again and explained I have called many times to get the pay off. Once again she said she would have to call or e-mail National Guardian. I asked her for the number and she said she would have to look it up. This time I said ok I'll wait. I called National Guardian myself and within 5 minutes I got a pay off balance and paid account off in full. Marta is very rude when pushed into doing her job. She hung up me when I pushed back.

I have been extremely disappointed with this cemetery. On December 14-2018 we buried someone who…read moremeant so much to our family. I have seen his wife go through so much since then. After the burial the plot was just covered in very large dirt clods. So big we couldn't break them up to smooth the area. Yes it was winter and grass is dormant during those months. What started happening was the plot was receding because of the weather. My friend had to request many times to add more dirt. It was hard to see this happening, it was very upsetting. No attention was given to this wonderful mans plot. Eventually my friend and her son put in their own sod and grass seed, because it was not getting done. Dealing with the office they were not concerned and abrupt at times. Now after speaking to other people who have family members buried there. They say they have gone through the similar issues with this cemetery. One thing I did not mention they have not had sprinklers until approximately two months ago. They are working and grass is getting mowed.

Do not recommend even after giving them two chances. If you don't pay up and sign up for them to…read moredo the services and upgrade for their urns etc for sale, forget ever receiving your family member's remains in less than 3 months. First my mother died in September 2023 at AV Hospital, so signed death certificate form from physician. I had to call repeatedly to learn what had happened after Don so kindly and fake concernedly promised her remains return within a few weeks. No on returned my phone calls. They excused it to having my wrong phone number. Interestingly to have such a mistake when you have to complete most forms on line directly and he could use the correct number to try and upsale additional items for increased cost... Second try was from unexpected death of father , at home in a quick hospice placement in July 2024. Due to the hospice physician's errors in death report LA County was required to complete an autopsy which required medical records. However, Don and his group never got back to me about problem and it took almost 3 months to get the Coroner the hospital records and treatments. Then within a week of me getting them and speaking directly with the Coroner he was cremated. However, again had to call repeatedly to inquire as to when his remains were available. Again no consistent return of phone calls. Don and his daughter could never remember my father's or my name and had to look for records, so not too concerned and obviously have problems with many many clients. Save your family more heartache and frustration and go with another group , as it will be more timely and not cost anymore either. If I could give a negative rating I would.
