Here are some of their stories.
So helpful trying to find my infant brother’s grave. He passed in 1953 and the family has been looking for over 25 years; we didn’t know which cemetery. They met us at the grave and showed us exactly where he was. Now we can get a headstone for him. Can’t thank them enough.
I went to Mount Royal to visit my aunt’s grave. After trying to find it for 20 minutes Frank helped me. I have difficulty walking so not only did he locate the grave for me he took me there himself. Thank you Frank and Mount Royal for being so kind and helpful.
Everyone was very compassionate and helpful. I recommend this funeral home to anyone who wants to be treated with dignity and respect. Also, the pricing is very reasonable.
Beautiful cemetery. The maintenance and grounds workers take fantastic care of the area.
Our family is grateful for the attention that Vista funeral home’s staff gave us. We came in to the office and were attended to immediately. Ronald is very knowledgeable and helped us get through the stress of making preparations for our father’s passing. His professionalism and charismatic disposition helped for this process to be a pleasant one.
I couldn’t be happier with the service and cremation package at Davis Seawinds. I am so happy that I have peace of mind now and that my family won’t have to deal with these arrangements. Jim was very nice and explained everything in detail.
Called to get some pricing and the lady that helped me was super patient and understanding. The prices beat all the other cemeteries and they were so kind to answer all my questions. Will definitely recommend to family and friends!
My parents had a cremation policy purchased in another state, and not accepted by our local funeral service. Northridge gladly accepted it, and when we recently needed to use it they provided a service far superior than I had expected. From the minute I called them and through the entire process they stayed in touch and walked us through what had to be done.
You may have questions. We have answers.
Who should I notify when someone dies?
After the death of a loved one, notify immediate family and close friends, the person’s employer, the Social Security Administration, banks and financial institutions, life insurance providers, the USPS for mail forwarding, and utility and subscription providers.
What is the difference between a funeral and a memorial service?
A funeral includes the body of the person who died and usually happens within a week of death. A memorial service does not include the body and can be held weeks or months later. A celebration of life is a type of memorial service.
How does cremation work?
Cremation places the body in a cremation chamber and uses high heat to reduce it to ashes, typically over two to three hours. A unique identifier stays with the individual throughout the process, and the remains are then returned to the family in an urn or keepsake.
How can I pay for funeral or cemetery services?
You can pay in full or spread costs over time. We accept credit cards and checks, and offer payment plans and pre-need arrangements for advance planning. Pre-planning locks in today’s pricing and provides peace of mind.
What is the purpose of a funeral service?
A funeral honors your loved one’s life, provides comfort, and helps with healing by celebrating their journey and impact.
