Concerning extended hold times and service delays: We are taking every possible measure to attend to families and their loved ones quickly; however, there are unavoidable delays during this unprecedented time. We apologize for lengthy hold times and delays in arrangement conferences, as our staff and venues are fully booked for several weeks. We can arrange transportation and care for your loved one until arrangements can be made. Thank you for your understanding as we work to serve each family with the highest level of care and compassion.
Our mortuary and memorial park remain open, however, funeral arrangement appointments and funeral service schedules have been impacted by these unprecedented times. To serve families during COVID-19 restrictions, we are offering the following options throughout our memorial park:
We are committed to honoring your loved one in every way possible and ensuring you and your guests feel safe conducting services with us. You can trust that we are taking the steps necessary to responsibly serve our Los Angeles community that we are privileged to be a part of. Please contact us directly if you have any questions or for more information about funeral planning or current coronavirus funeral restrictions.
A funeral service is an important event in every culture throughout history—to honor the deceased and begin the healing process with friends and family. Restrictions set forth by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health currently prohibit indoor funeral services. In compliance with COVID-19 restrictions, we are offering open-air visitations and services throughout our memorial park. Each of these spaces can be tailored specifically to the individual being honored.
