During one of the most tender and difficult times in our family's life, Todd Memorial Chapel provided us with extraordinary care, professionalism, and compassion. From the very beginning, Josh was there for us every step of the way. His kindness, attention to detail, and genuine concern for our family brought a sense of peace and harmony when we needed it most. Josh went above and beyond responding to our questions quickly, guiding us through every decision, and making sure all the little details were handled beautifully and respectfully. We never felt rushed or pressured. Instead, we felt supported, understood, and cared for. The service itself was beautifully organized and thoughtfully prepared. The space was peaceful, dignified, and comforting exactly what our family needed to honor our loved one with love and respect. The pricing was also very reasonable, especially considering the level of service and care we received. A heartfelt Mahalo to Josh and the entire team at Todd Memorial Chapel. We will always be grateful for how you helped us through this sacred moment in our family's life. read more

Lovely people who provided needed details for a service held today before Memorial Day weekend. Much appreciated for the understanding and the support. Your kindness will never be forgotten. read more

I was at Todd Memorial Chapel for my 3rd aunt's funeral the day before Thanksgiving. It was my first time here. It is a beautiful chapel. Love its simple design and decor. Its exquisite ceiling and doors dates back 1907 since its inception. Yes, it's been through 117 years and still going strong. I can tell it's very well maintained. My aunt had a beautiful service. Everything went very well. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking lot is very small. It created a slight challenge because all cars were parked behind one another except for the first car. Luckily, I was able to drive on the sidewalk to get out. It's best to park on the street if you don't plan to stay long or be the first car in line. Thank you Todd Memorial Chapel for your beautiful facility plus wonderful staff and amazing service. read more

Todd Memorial Chapel - One of the waiting areas - Funeral Services & Cemeteries Near Me - Pomona, California

It seems odd to write a review for this type of service, but I will. It was suggested by hospice at Pomona Valley Hospital that we make arrangements for my mother...which was heartbreaking to hear. At their suggestion, I phoned Todd Memorial Chapel and spoke to Brian Pewe, I explained the situation through tears. Brian was patient and kind. I told him what my mother wanted/didn't want, he didn't try to upsell me some package with all the bells and whistles. Brian simply said we can take care of that for you. And when it was her time, they took care of my momma. They made this process easier for me. This is not a job that I could do, but I'm grateful there are people like Brian Pewe that can. Thank you for taking care of my momma. read more

Have done Business with Todd Memorial several times in very difficult times in my life and have gone through the process smoothly.

The quality and care is exceptional. Considerate and caring staff. They provide all details for your funeral services.

Thank you, Josh. You have been amazing during this hard time for my family and I. It has been comforting to know our brother is treated with love and grace by you and the staff. We trust his services will be beautiful as we say our final goodbyes in the upcoming days. Thank you Todd Memorial and all staff members‍ read more

Rudy at Todd's is a PRO! He was kind and compassionate. He was also timely and efficient. His communication was terrific. Let's be honest. Losing a beloved family member is one of the hardest times in our lives. Using Todd Memorial Chapel was one of the BEST decisions we made during this difficult season. Thank you to Rudy and his team at Todd's. -The Blay Family read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about Todd Memorial Chapel. Mitchell handled my mothers services and he was helpful and courteous for the whole process. To start, it was a single call to get the process started. When we met to discuss the arrangements, he was sincere in his condolences to me and my family. Next, he never tried to upsell us during our consult... in fact, he made every attempt to keep the costs as low as possible. In regard to the cost, TMC's fees were substantially less when compared to the Cemetery's. My final note, I called several times from the point my mom was taken into their care and her service. If I had to leave a message, I was always called back the same day and usually within an hour or two. read more

Josh Berman was extremely professional and very caring during our profound loss. His attention to detail and follow through was greatly appreciated by our whole family. I highly recommend Todd Memorial Chapel, a family owned business that truly cares about people. read more

Mitch, Rudy and Jimmy were there 100% for me and my family. My Mother passed suddenly at age 97 They were able to handle most all of the arrangements over the phone and e-mail. I did not have one single worry. At this time we are all living in, I know they are overworked. You couldn't tell, it seemed like my Mother was their only client. The make-up artists made her look so beautiful, simply amazing. The young lady at the front desk was also extremely kind and helpful. I wish I'd gotten her name. The service was perfect. Jimmy and his female assistant were wonderful. They got along well with all the family with our sorrow and humor. Todds has handled my Father, 1986 and my Grandmother 1995, grandfather 1993 and my other grandfather in the late 70's Bravo!!! Thank you Todd Family for being there for everyone you serve. read more

Todd Memorial Chapel - Mom - Funeral Services & Cemeteries Near Me - Pomona, California

My memory is not what it used to be. I just searched this place to leave them a review and I literally thought this place was called Rudy's Mortuary! Hilarious! Rudy is actually the gentleman who helped us the most at Todd's Memorial. This review has been overdue for two months. It has just been so hard, but I need to write it. My loved one had just died and the sheriff told us we needed to call our local mortuary, because the coroner wouldn't come to take him. The first thing I thought to do was to search on Yelp. It was around 11 PM and I found a few locations that looked good. Todd's had more reviews than the others and I quickly scrolled down them to confirm that they looked like the best option. I had no idea if these places even worked so late at night, but I just tried them. The lady on the phone was nice and gave us a ballpark figure of when they would arrive. I think it took like an hour, which they told us. The gentleman who helped us were so nice too. They were very sincere with everything and did a great job. The one with the shaved head was just so caring. Dealing with the phone calls, the decisions, the planning, was so much, but their employee, Rudy, was a pro. It's as if he had a calling in life to do what he does. He listened to us and was very sincere and caring. The other lady, was also nice, Gina, I think. I am so glad I Yelped that night and that I found these people! If I could leave them 100 stars I would. They are truly the cream of the crop. God Bless them for the good work that they do. I hope they read my review and know how much we appreciate how nice, considerate, efficient, organized, and just all-around helpful that they were to us. read more

This is a very good place to go to plan your services and have your services.They had nice friendly service,Brian was a big help to me and my family.The prices were also affordable,they worked with me during my time in need.I highly recommend this place. read more

Todd Memorial Chapel cares about YOU and your loved one. My mother passed a week ago and thus far they've been nothing but amazing. They've been very compassionate amongst also, the most affordable and in time of need, kindness goes along way. I'm so glad we were referred to them. Thank you, Krissy for your kindness and prompt response to our questions. You made us feel like actual humans rather than a dollar sign. Your compassion and help during times of grief is very much appreciated. God bless you always! Pineda Fam. read more

Josh and the entire staff at Todd Memorial did an excellent job in handling the services for my mom. They were kind and compassionate and helped to manage the interface with the burial at Forest Lawn. The service and the burial were performed both professionally and beautifully. They made sure we had what we needed, even any last-minute requests. More importantly, mom looked beautiful for her viewing and open casket. I was extremely worried as mom was somewhat of a professional with her hair, makeup and dress and we wanted our last look and memory to carry her beauty forward on her journey. Really, really outstanding job. Todd took care of the details so we could focus on celebrating mom's life. Thank you to the entire staff for making a difficult time the best it could be considering the circumstances. read more

I find these employees to be morally disgusting. Terrible contact, misleading families and also attempting to overcharge for services when not necessary. Rudy was overly casual on the phone, acting as if the situation at hand was not serious. It is serious, as someone is dead. A person with family and friends who care for them. I do NOT recommend this funeral home to anyone unless you wanna be lead about and overcharged. read more

My family has used Todd Memorial for many years. They are the best, so caring and helpful in your time of need. Josh was so helpful and very pleasant. Recommend anyone looking for a service for a loved one, consider using this business. read more

These folks are pros. In this field, that means that they are respectful, compassionate, aware of problems, good at finding solutions. Also, they don't push you to spend more than you want--which is good, since it ain't cheap to die. I told them what my husband had wanted and what we needed, and they helped me figure it out. Also very helpful 2 1/2 years later when I needed guidance through the paperwork of getting his remains into a VA cemetery. I am and remain grateful to the Todd team. They even called me on the day of my husband's cremation, in case I wanted to see him one last time. I did, and they had him laid out in a quiet room, and had changed his last expression of suffering to one of peace. What a gift. read more

He had the best prices in the area. They were caring and kind and answered questions immediately. They offered to transfer our son's ashes for free to any urn or jewelry we purchased. They called me when they picked him up from the hospital so I would have peace of mind. Every experience with them was a good one. I have no complaints. Everything was handled with dignity and care read more

Sadly, my father unexpectedly passed away at the end of March and my siblings and I were not quite sure where to start, besides calling Todd's as our grandparents funerals were held here. For starters, Brian was nothing but amazing. He was patient with my sister and I through the many tears, hard questions and decisions that had to be made. He walked us through every step and offered many choices, to ensure the service was tailored to our father. Every time I had a question leading up to the service he promptly called or emailed back. The days of the services, Jimmy was exceptional. He helped walked us through the days and was very helpful and had a kind nature to him. When my siblings and I asked for things such as alone time with our father before leaving, etc. he would help announce and ensure our request was fulfilled. He helped us from the moment we walked into the chapel to laying our father to rest at the cemetery. Planning a funeral and laying a loved one to rest is one of the most difficult situations to handle, but I strongly recommend Todd's and especially Brian and Jimmy. read more

We unfortunately had two family members pass this year.Its hard enough to deal with the grief and pain let alone having to plan services in a time where all you want to do is stop the pain of losing a loved one. From start to finish Rudy and the Todd's team were very professional and made having to plan my fathers services much easier. Rudy was very thoughtful and thorough not once did I feel like he was pressuring me into anything out of my budget or trying to bait and switch me. I left feeling like my dad would get the service he deserves. After my dads burial we had multiple family members mention my dad's services had been one of the nicest they had attended. I truly appreciate you Rudy and the Todd's team for getting our family through not one but two services this year. Rudy you are a class act and work for a very reputable business. May God bless you all for bringing peace and comfort during such a difficult time for my family. read more

Todd's did an awesome job in helping us honor our mother yesterday with her memorial. She went on her journey November 29, 21 and took total care of her for us. They are absolutely fantastic. read more

When my father passed away back in 1987, we used Todd but I was in the military then and I was not part of the planning at all. Now in 2020 sadly, my mother passed away and with the whole Covid-19 there are definitely restrictions and what you can and cannot do. Rudy was so very helpful and instrumental in getting my mom back home to Pomona as she had been living with me and my family in Oceanside, CA. Rudy was very cool and calm at all times and communicated my options very clearly. He coordinated with the cemetery and made a miracle happen to allow my mom's remains to be laid with my father's and all that I had to do was show up at the cemetery. read more

Todd Memorial Chapel - My mom's final resting place - Funeral Services & Cemeteries Near Me - Pomona, California

If we are all honest, NO ONE ever wants to visit a mortuary. Losing loved ones is already difficult enough and grief clouds the mind. However, our family was very fortunate to have such amazing service from Todd's. Brian, our assigned funeral director, was beyond professional. He explained everything in a very easy to understand format and made our difficult decisions easier. Thank you Brian and the entire team at Todd's! read more

Finding a mortuary to handle our needs was not as easy as we thought it would be. All I heard from frustrated mortuary folks was that Covid had recreated a backlog of 'clients' and how we'd have to wait. However, when Krissy answered the phone at Todd's I knew we'd found the right place. Patient, kind and not pushy or in a hurry to get off the phone, she represented Todd's in an excellent manner and provided excellent customer service throughout the process. She sent a price sheet and samples of flyers, prayer cards and provided leads to wonderful musicians and clergy. The Todd's Mortuary chapels are both lovely and the personnel who assisted at the service went beyond their job duties to assist us. Thank you Krissy/Todd's for excellent service and compassion during the most emotional days a family can experience. read more

Todd chapel did an awesome job with my loved one. I worked with Krissy she was very helpful and answered all my question. I live in Arizona and I was able to plan everything on the telephone which was extremely helpful. It was one of the nicest mortuaries that I had been to. read more

My parents had prearranged their funerals with Todd Memorial Chapel in Pomona. They handled my Mother's funeral in 2014, showing sensitivity to our family needs with professionalism, treated us like family. Dad passed in January 2021 and all it took was one phone call to Todd Memorial. Chrissy handled all the details and arrangements between Todd Memorial Chapel and the cemetery. At the cemetery service Todd's representative, Joel, made sure that my Father was treated with dignity and respect before he was placed to be buried. Our family is overwhelmed with gratitude to all the staff at Todd Memorial Chapel. Thank you, John Todd, for your caring staff who oversaw every detail perfectly. read more

Thank you, Mitchel and your team. You did a wonderful job making my Mother,'a funeral go smoothly and and perfectly. This was our second funeral and they both were successful. I would highly recommend you to all my family and friends! read more

I had never lost anyone close to me so when that sad day came I was lost. With no direction and hardly any money I had no time to grieve. I was out shopping for a funeral. After several different places I walked into Todd's and Brian was there to help. He put together an awesome package of only the necessities and gave me the best quote I had gotten. Then I shared a little about what happened with my dad and he stepped in called the mortuary at the hospital and then the corners office. When I told him not to embalm him they held off until I was ready. The service was amazing. We used the Claremont facility which was really great. The staff they provided for the day was awesome. Mike treated us like he was part of our family. From beginning to end we were fully satisfied definitely a thumbs up and all the stars they can get. Thanks guys read more

My stepfather passed away in May suddenly, & they were very professional & caring.

Sadly we lost a family member back in November(2021) my family went with this place RUDY was so respectful and caring.. He received my loved one from another state and arrange everything so nicely and took great care of him. Unfortunately a month later (December 2021) I lost my newborn son.. he handled my son with extreme care and I just knew my son was taken care of and respected. He kept me updated throughout the entire process and was once again very respectful and showed lots of sympathy and empathy. If/when I need to go through this difficult process again I will most definitely keep this place in mind. Thank you to the wonderful employees here and I appreciate the above and beyond service. read more

John Todd was very attentive and professional, and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. He was respectful and clear. He also actually delivered my uncle's cremains to my door, as he was in the neighborhood, saving me a lot of money. People don't seem to extend themselves like this anymore; very much a sign of old-fashioned compassion and kindness. Thank you so much! read more

I like that this is a family business and that they keep it going with each generation. Rudy was wonderful, caring and kind. Even the drivers who picked up my Father at 4am for transport were kind and gentle with him. In the past both my Grandparents were taken care of by Todd Mortuary and now my Dad. He would have appreciated knowing that we choose this place to care for him after passing. read more

I think it is fair to say that most of us walk into a mortuary tired and beat. Mr. John Todd made my recent experience feel like I was dealing with a friend. Mr. John Todd was very courteous, sympathetic, helpful, respectful, and completely professional at every step of the way. This is my second dealing with Todd. This family business has been handling the details for generations of local families for many years and it shows. John provided answers to many questions and helped resolve every detail that I wanted. They set up everything from the church services to the Forest Lawn paperwork. We also have used their mortuary chapel in the past and they set up the priest years earlier for another family member. Everything was handled calmly and efficiently. At the service, a third generation Todd, was there from beginning to end, watching that every detail was carried out. If you're into Spanish California Architecture, this building will have you on your toes, as there is no other architecture like their building anywhere I know of locally. Thank you, John Todd and Mitchell Todd for all of your help. As much as I appreciate what you do, I do hope we don't have to meet again anytime too soon... read more

Todd Memorial Chapel - Funeral Services & Cemeteries Near Me - Pomona, California

Of the many positive Yelp reviews I have ever written and posted over the past 18 years, what you are about to read reflects one the finest experiences that I have ever had with any company offering me any product and/or service. In the wake of our Mother's in 2015, our family selected Todd Memorial to help us with our funeral arrangements. Because Todd Memorial performed so exemplary, our family decided to purchase pre-need funeral plan for our Father a few months later through Todd Memorial. In doing so, we were able to pre-select and plan our arrangements well before needed. Fast forward to March 26th of 2022, suddenly and without warning, our Father passed away. In the midst of our shock and grief, a phone call to Todd Memorial was met with such compassion, understanding and immediate assistance. Our family was blessed to be assigned Ms. Krissy Pewe to assist us through the planning process. From my very first phone call with her, Ms. Krissy displayed genuine care and concern for our family's loss, grief, sadness and initial state of confusion. Because our Father was a veteran of the Korean War, there were a number of important "I's" that had to be dotted and a number critical "T's" that had to be crossed. These included obtaining an American Flag, arranging time/date of burial at the Riverside National Cemetery, coordinating with U.S. Army officials to schedule the participation of the Army Honor Guard and all the other planning details associated with normal funerals. What makes our experience with Krissy so extraordinary, was the consistently prompt and professional manner in which every call, text or email was answered and handled. Of the many calls placed, I would say that over 90% were taken by Krissy right then and there. And the other 10% when she was either busy or on another call, I received a call back within 15-20 minutes. Of the countless emails I sent, 100% of them were returned within the hour and with such clear detail that made well informed decisions pretty easy to make. This degree of access and response time is unheard of in this day and age. On the day of the Funeral, the (Game-Day) team/staff of Josh & Asa picked up where Krissy Pewe left off. Our family found both Asa and Josh professional, personable and compassionate in the process of executing our plan to a "T".  Although I arrived early, both Josh and Asa were already in place and prepared for the arrival of our family and congregation. Throughout the day, I watched as both Josh & Asa communicated and coordinated well with all church and traffic control personnel to ensure that no "I" was left undotted and no "T" was left uncrossed. I can truly say that Josh and Asa were as invested in the smooth running of our Father's service as they would have been invested in their own Father or Mother's service.   It is impossible to convey in human language that amount of gratitude our family has for the exceptional commitment to excellence and the manner in which the Todd Memorial team tended to every facet of our Dad's Celebration of Life. From the way Dad looked - To the beautiful viewing - To the perfect execution of our Father's service - To the efficient traffic escort out to Riverside National Cemetery - To the seamless handoff to Riverside National Cemetery personnel and Army honor guard.  Thanks to Krissy and her polished Staff, our family was able to sit back, relax and appreciate all that took place before, during and following our Father's celebration of Life and Legacy. The products and services provided by Todd Memorial exceeded our expectations and has played a central role in easing our pain and has allowed the healing process to begin in earnest. Accordingly, this (10-Star) review represents the #1 service that I have personally received in the eighteen years that I have been writing Yelp reviews. I will close by saying this: If you have the time, ability and resources, you would be wise to engage Todd Memorial to pre-plan for a loved one's home going. In doing so, I can tell you that your experience and stress level will be vastly different than if you wait and do it the other way around. read more

I never thought I would write a review for a funeral home, but after the way Todd memorial handled my fathers passing I felt compelled to. Brian with Todd memorial was an absolute gem. He was calm, sensitive to my situation and patient with me. My father passed when I was only 23 years old and I was his only family in the state, so I was feeling alone and unsure of how to handle everyone. Brian helped walk me through the entire process. He gave me all the options, pricing, was honest and just over all incredibly nice. Losing a loved one is hard, but he made the process easier. I cannot thank him enough. read more

I just wanted to leave a review to say thank you to Todd Memorial for the great services they provided for my Grandmother's services. We laid her to rest yesterday and we are extremely satisfied with the way everything turned out. A huge shoutout to Rudy for his help from start to finish and also to Joel. They were very understanding, professional and empathetic during these hard times. We appreciate it all. read more
