Comprehensive Administrative Support

Our administrative support extends beyond just the basic services. We handle the filing of death certificates and cremation permits, ordering of death certificates, and notifying the Social Security Administration. If your loved one was a Veteran, we’ll work with you to ensure you receive all of the veteran’s entitled benefits. We expedite the document process by hand delivering completed death certificate orders to the Health Department and picking them up for you. Families can choose to collect them from Hillside or have them sent by Certified Mail, FedEx, or scheduled hand delivery within Los Angeles County.

We provide transportation from the place of death to our mortuary in a private, unmarked van, ensuring a dignified and respectful experience. We never have more than one decedent in our transport vans at a time and always have two team members present to assist in taking your loved one into our care.

Elevating Cremation with Personalized Care

In addition to the basic services associated with all cremations, we take the extra time to provide an added level of respect and dignity for everyone taken into our care by bathing, feature setting, cosmetics, hairdressing, nail care, dressing, and careful placement in a casket or cremation container. This extra level of care ensures your loved one is honored and remembered in the most respectful and personalized manner possible, reflecting the dignity and reverence they deserve.
