Funeral and Cremation Planning in Lake Forest, CA

One of the simplest ways to work through the funeral planning process is to break the services down into categories. Instead of addressing all decisions at once, you can take it one piece at a time:

• Laying a Person to Rest: Decide how your loved one will be laid to rest, with in-ground cemetery burial, mausoleum entombment or cremation.

• Cremation Services:Our crematory is on-site and privately owned, so your loved one never leaves our care. We'll explain your choices for keeping, placing or scattering the cremated remains.

• Memorial Products:  See caskets, vaults, grave markers, urns and memorial jewelry in person at our chapel, with many pieces available to personalize.

• Service and Event Planning: Much of the funeral planning process is focused on the actual event. It doesn’t matter if you have funeral or memorial services; both event styles require that you choose a venue, determine the invite list, design a program, and work through the other details specific to the gathering. It’s your decision whether this will be a formal gathering of friends and family, or if you prefer an informal style such as a celebration of life.

• Administrative Details: We coordinate transportation, death certificates and the other behind-the-scenes tasks, so nothing is missed and your family can focus on each other.
