Randy, in the office, was so helpful and compassionate. Last week, we had her funeral; and, the interment at GV was dignified and beautiful. Thank you, Randy, and the rest of the crew, who moved her from the hearse, to the mausoleum, to her final resting place inside. We have other family there, and it's the only place for us. I urge you to consider Grand View, as well.

We used Monarch Funeral Services for our dad's funeral, and we cannot thank them enough for the…read moreincredible care and professionalism they showed our family during such a difficult time. From start to finish, everything was handled with the utmost respect, compassion, and attention to detail. From the memorial service at the church all the way through the graveside service, we truly did not have to worry about anything. From A to Z, everything was thoughtfully arranged and well organized. Every step was handled seamlessly and on time, which brought us so much peace of mind. So many of our family members and relatives came up to us afterward to say how impressed they were with Monarch and how smoothly everything was run--well beyond our expectations. The team was respectful, calm, and supportive throughout the entire process. We are deeply grateful to Edgar and everyone at Monarch Funeral Services for helping us honor our dad in such a beautiful and dignified way. We highly recommend them to any family in need of funeral services.

The Brand Family Cemetery is an interesting site. It's the burial site of Leslie Brand, "The Father…read moreof Glendale." It also has a cool looking Pyramid Mausoleum and the site is rumored to be haunted. The cemetery is somewhat hidden and finding it is half the fun. Skip the rest of the paragraph if you want to find it on your own. Start at Brand Trail (the one with the Miss American Green Cross statue in front of it). Continue up the hill until you reach the clearing with the large water tank. Take the cement road off to the left, continue past the covered reservoir, past the yellow gate. Off to the left you will see a small sign directing you up a small hill. The family cemetery has 20 or more graves. Leslie Brand's grave is of course the one with the large pyramid on it. The area is enclosed by a tall green fence and the front gate is locked. I have read that there is at least one baby that is buried in the cemetery and that "on cold dark nights, you can hear it crying." Brand's dogs are also suppose to be buried there.

This business takes advantage of grieving families, many of whom are Armenian, like them. That is…read moredeeply troubling and unacceptable. I urge everyone to not use this service. I am deeply disappointed with how this mortuary treated my family during one of the most painful moments of our lives. Linda was consistently rude, dismissive, unprofessional, and just awful. We specifically arranged for a silver hearse, confirmed in advance. On the day of my father's service, they arrived with a black hearse instead, without any explanation or apology. When we later contacted Linda to request that our father's death certificate be FedExed, she refused, stating she was "running a business," and then hung up on us. $5,000 for services. What a shame. Maybe a group of professionals can teach you how to run a professional business because you are doing a horrible job. When we went in person to retrieve the certificate, we were met with the same level of disrespect. We asked around and realized that this is how they treat all their customers. The mistakes they made could have all been rectified with a simple apology and kindness. But we got the exact opposite.

After the pickup we were told that a representative would reach out to us the following day so we could start making arrangements. They didn't call till 3 days later even after leaving them multiple messages! Imagine not knowing what's happening to your loved one or where they are located after they died. Our assigned rep only called AFTER I switched to Anubis Cremations and had arrangements for the body to be brought to their facilities. Wesleigh was so easy to work with. She picked up my call right away and took care of everything. She communicated every step of the way. I told her that my uncle who is a priest will be arriving in 2 weeks and we would like for the cremation and memorial service to happen while he was here. She mentioned that it's a very tight schedule but she would try to make it happen. And she 100% delivered!!! Within an hour of my initial call she had my auntie's body arranged for pickup, she sent paperwork to us and the doctor so she could start the process of filing the death certificate. The church where we wanted the memorial service wouldn't let us reserve a time till they had a cremation date. We were able to get the cremation date within a few days. We opted for a private open viewing at the crematory in Van Nuys. The crematory only does night time viewing which worked well for us since our family is busy working during the day. Wesleigh's coworker Jonathan took great care of us at the viewing. The place had a room for up to 15 people where family members could sit with the casket prior to the cremation. They dressed our auntie in her formal barong and jewelry. We were allowed to provide flowers, letters, and mementoes in the cardboard casket. Jonathan gave us sharpies so we could write notes on the casket. There were aslo tissues and an easel for our use. Although the viewing was technically 15 minutes, we were not rushed and were given about 20-25 minutes to do a prayer service and say our goodbyes. And then Jonathan and another employee wheeled her into the crematory. We watched them place her casket in the "oven" and once the door closed we left. They even allowed us to live stream the entire time we were there to our auntie's relatives back in the Philippines. The following day Wesleigh delivered the ashes to the church and she provided the letters and instructions we needed to bring the ashes back to the Philippines. We were also very happy with the urn we ordered from Anubis. It was engraved and had a photo of our auntie. It was perfect. I can't thank Wesleigh and Jonathan enough for providing an outstanding service that was stress-free, efficient, compassionate, and super professional during this difficult time of grief. I whole-heartedly recommend Annubis.

Mount Sinai is a large cemetery, better suited for driving around and parking near any areas you'd like to explore. There isn't a lot of interesting statuary art, but the mausoleum is massive and striking. They have a sweet powder blue hearse that will add some pizazz to your photo set if it's out and about whilst you're there. They may stop you at the entrance and ask whom you're visiting, and if you need rocks.
