He has a low-key, naturally empathic communication style. I am so grateful for his help in finding my loved ones.

The best gift in life is a Mother, and life's greatest loss is the death of one's Mother…read more My sister and I were utterly devastated by our sudden and tragic loss last month, and Ms. Margaret Velez and Mr. Martin Guerrero were a source of gentle calm and support for us. Despite the fact that Dignity is owned by a massive, profit-oriented, multi-billion dollar corporation - the largest provider of funeral services in the U.S. - both these gracious and exemplary employees were empathetic and easy to work with during this devastatingly grief-stricken time. The distinguished Mr. Martin, who arranged the funeral, was a source of grace, class, and comfort for my sister and I, and he carried out our beloved Mother's service last week with knowledge, experience, and refinement. The viewing at the quaint and beautiful Chapel with colorful stained-glass windows was artistically-inspired with her large portrait and a grand display of flowers, and our dear Mother was immaculately dressed and groomed, and looked as if she were asleep. We had arranged for a dove release at the service, and he encouraged my sister and I to each hold then release a dove before releasing the entire flock. The benevolent and soft-spoken Ms. Margaret took the time to show us around the park for possible resting places for Mom, and her gentle disposition and kindness made this process a little less taxing. Our Father was interred here over a decade ago, which brought attention and interest from our relatives and friends to this memorial park; our uncle and aunt were then interred here as well. We're most grateful to Mr. Martin and Ms. Margaret for their compassion and professionalism during the most heartbreaking and tragic time of our lives.

She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and on schedule, always putting me at ease to focus on the important things. We had a small ceremony with a chaplain before my dad's cremation and everything was so perfect. Thank you Krystal!! And thanks to the Dignity/Valley team!

I was comforted mentally and emotionally from the moment I contacted Shari regarding my mother's cremation. They patiently were on hand to respectfully transport my mother from her apartment and were on hand to help with all the final arrangements. Shari was even gracious enough to deliver my mother's ashes to me in person in a beautiful wooden urn in time for us to place her into her niche at the cemetery. No one wants to think about the time when we have to figure out what to do when a loved one passes. But in one of your most difficult and challenging moments, Shari and her accommodating and helpful team were itruly heaven sent! Thank you so much Shari, Tawny and Gabe for everything.

I am also deeply grateful to Shari, who went above and beyond by keeping our family updated throughout the process. Her thoughtful communication and the photos she provided for verification gave us reassurance and peace of mind during an emotional time. The Level of Care, Integrity, and Attention to Detail from your entire team at NATURAL GRACE reflects a standard of service that is truly Exceptional and Increasingly Rare.

One of my earliest memories (maybe just a glimpse of a memory) was when my grandpa was buried here…read morein 1982. I remember the hole in the ground and the coffin but not much else. Since then I have been back to visit many times, and more of my relatives (including my grandma) were buried here. My dad passed away less than three months ago so this was the only place we really considered. After some confusion with some pre-sales people (who seem to operate independently of this office), we've been really happy with our experience with Forest Lawn, from our initial multi-hour intake meeting with Maricar. She was professional, comforting (we came in a few short days after it happened), and very clear in her communication. She showed us a lot of options for various things (urns, cards, flowers, etc.), didn't pressure us to make any decisions we weren't ready for, and made sure we had water and snacks. We ended up doing separate days for cremation and a memorial service. Throughout the time I would send her long emails with lots of questions, and she (or someone from her team) would respond to me promptly. The rest of the staff were also excellent. I received multiple updates as my dad was being transferred from the hospital to Forest Lawn. On the day of the cremation my son noticed that a basket of snacks had disappeared between when we arrived and when he left; when he asked about them they brought them back out for him (maybe grieving burns lots of calories). We had multiple rounds of back-and-forth on things like the urn inscription as well as the printout for the memorial service (including some Chinese characters). Everything was handled exceptionally well. For cremation viewing there are a couple of options - a smaller room right near the cremation furnace and a larger area; we opted for the smaller one. We had about 20 minutes with my mom, wife and kids, and a few family friends. We all said our goodbyes and placed a few things into the coffin - calligraphy from my mom and a bookmark that was a party favor for their 50th wedding anniversary, an origami fighter jet from my son, origami stegosauruses from my daughter and me (my dad got me two on his travels when I was a kid), and an origami crane from my wife. For the service were were in the Little Church of the Flowers. It seats up to 100 but feels cozier since 16 of the seats are in a small area off to the side. Two people from Forest Lawn were present throughout the service, helping with guiding people, getting a light to light up sheet music for a piano duet by my sister and brother-in-law, helping other relatives set up the parting gift/snack station (my mom insisted we couldn't send people away hungry and empty-handed). No photos of the whole church but there's a video walkthrough on the website. Random details: Memorial service slideshow can have up to 80 photos (you have to pay extra for more); later they sent printed copies of all the photos. We got the portrait ($350) and were very happy with it (it is now my dad's study). We also paid for the livestream since we were short on space and had some people who were not able to travel. It has several different camera angles and the audio quality is good, and I'm happy that we have a video. We tried to get people to not send flowers but a few did anyways and they looked nice next to the urn. Very relieved to have the service behind us. It's been a very difficult few months, but we were always in good hands at Forest Lawn. Thanks again to Maricar and the whole team here. The service truly felt like a celebration of my dad's life. Would definitely recommend highly.

For guests and immediate family members, you can pull up to the information station at the entrance and the staff there will advise you where to park or where you need to go. I want to thank Forest Lawn for their kindness and empathy as we said our final words to my grandfather before he was to be cremated. They gave us an adequate amount of time and offered condolences. The next day, for his celebration of life, we were able to host and hold a day of respect, prayers, and love thanks to this venue. The interior was beautiful and the flower package my mom and her siblings got for their dad was gorgeous to look at. Special shoutout to Diana and Sonia for their communication and information as they helped ease concerns in the whole planning process. The staff during set-up time was also very friendly and assisted in anything we needed. I want to thank Forest Lawn deeply from the bottom of my heart for my family.

They were very responsive to all of our questions and really made the whole process much easier than I thought it would be. We really appreciated that as we were still trying to process our Mom's passing. They're the best! They arranged a meeting point midway between Glendale and where we lived in Orange County to transfer our urns to us. I highly, highly recommend Anubis.
