What Families Are Saying
The O'Connor team were very supportive and on top of things from the start. Very helpful with suggestions and preparations for the obituary and all the extras that made it a truly significant event. A special thank you to all for the warm welcoming feeling under such sad circumstances.
Lynn Reed
Took wonderful, compassionate care of my wife, including arrangements to inter out of state. Arrived within 15 minutes of a phone call. Everyone was highly compassionate, very helpful, and totally professional. Premises clean, orderly and quite well organized. Because of the excellent experience with my wife, I made all final arrangements for myself.
John Mitchell
The folks at O'Connor Mortuary were incredibly helpful with my father's passing. They took care of all the details, including transporting him from the Bay Area back to Orange County. They were very organized and compassionate throughout the process.
