Funeral Services & Cemeteries near Belmont

“We unfortunately had 2 deaths in the family in 1 week. We were treated with kindness and understanding as both people were taken care of at the same location. No one wants to have to use their services, yet they're there when you need them with kindness and professionalism. Noel was very helpful.“

“No words can describe our deep loss when our Mama passed. She was well loved & Sneider & Sullivan continued to make us feel that she was so special. They took care of her &, us, her family, from the beginning until even after the cremation. On behalf of the Relloma family: Evelyn & Gie, Miriam, Arlene, Romel, Belle & Justin and last but not the least, Joel, Jennie, Janelle & Julienne Annika A huge thanks to Gus Roldan, Johanna, Philip, Jack & Richard & everyone else in this mortuary who made us feel like we were not alone in this time of difficulty. They allowed us to express our grief in our own cultural way. Again, you were all deeply appreciated.“

“I highly recommend Cypress Lawn Funeral home! We used their services for the passing of a very dear family member and we approached them while still in tears. They were so professional and respectful, comforting in being task oriented but careful not to rush us in our decisions. We chose some options but even so, when they told me they would take care of everything and I didn't quite realize until closer to the time just how many things I never would have thought of to request and I found out they already had it planned! They were carefule to make no assumptions that might make us uncomfortable, using inclusive language, and using excellent/professional communication skills. At a time when one doesn't even realize how emotional one is on any particular day, they are calm and can see through the chaos, organzing things quietly for you and allowing you to be in charge if you want to be. They were patient through the process and allowed me to take my time in making decisions, constantly offering to help. It's amazing how specific the options they provide can be and still how customizable/personalizable their services are. They have a special flower room accessible to flower shops for delivery after hours. They handled all of the legal things with no effort from us; they just know how to do it all. They were present during the services and at my elbow if needed but in the shadows if not needed. They have a high professional skill level in making your pictures into a beautiful slideshow. For the same cost there is a reception room. I can say that because of the size of our family and the multi-pronged cultures that we embody, we needed the flexibility they give and we turned the facility into quite a unique event in honor of our loved one who passed, bringing in our own multi-pronged cultures including four generations, assisting in guiding those with accessibility issues, and tolerating lively children, and we were surprised how the facility served well in the face of all of this! I highly recommend them for any sort of handling of your loved one's passing.“

“I was able to get my end of life plans underway with Cemetery Property resales. I was able to save quite a bit of money for their service. I received a lot of knowledge through the representative concerning this industry. It helped me make sound decisions. No pressure sales. It took me a minute to get the finances together due to putting this on the back burner. All in all, it was a good experience.“

“A fantastic place for a memorial, very beautiful view of the wonderful grass fields around, and especially a major thank you to the three workers we met: Yaya Protazanova, Kevin, and Adela. Thank you so much for everything.“

“Losing a loved one is never easy, and during one of the most difficult moments of our lives—losing a close friend—Menlo Park Funeral Home and Cremation Services exceeded every expectation. From the moment we reached out, Barry showed a level of empathy, professionalism, and dedication that truly sets this funeral home apart.

What made this experience truly remarkable was Barry’s unwavering support throughout the entire process of arranging our friend’s body shipment to Europe. This included navigating international paperwork, handling insurance, and working directly with the European consulate—all while keeping us informed every step of the way.

Grieving makes even basic tasks feel impossible, but Barry made sure every document was in order, every signature collected on time, and every communication handled with care. He was a light in the darkness, helping us move forward when things felt too overwhelming.

If you're looking for a funeral home in Menlo Park that combines expertise with genuine human kindness, I cannot recommend Barry and his team enough. Whether you need local cremation services, funeral arrangements, or international repatriation of remains, this is the place to turn to.

As painful as loss is, Barry made sure we never felt alone.“

“The care and attention we received from Crippen and Flynn when planning my father's cremation and service was unmatched! They were so kind, took care of a lot of the small details I was not able to think about and helped us with the whole process, every step of the way. I highly recommend them!“

“We’d been to services here but until now never had to enlist funeral services. From the minute we entered Paul and his staff made us feel instantly at ease. They were very efficient and treated us with patience and understanding which is what we needed during this emotional time. Highly recommend Chapel of the Highlands.“

“My whole entire family have used Jones Mortuary services for over 30 years and they are always very professional and very kind in our time of Grief???“

“Located in a rural area four miles south of Half Moon Bay, Purissima was one of the earliest settlements on the San Mateo County coast. Spanish soldiers founded the little hamlet before 1820 as an outpost for Mission Dolores in San Francisco, about twenty-five miles to the north. The lush land, ample water, and sunny climate supported the farms that supplied the mission with food. The town grew and, from the late 1840's, after the American annexation of California, continued to prosper as an agricultural community for many years. The first lumber mill was built here and the area noted for its climate and beautiful scenery eventually became somewhat of a resort for pleasure seekers. As competition from the nearby town of San Benito (now Half Moon Bay) increased, the once-thriving village of Purissima began to fade into obscurity. The town's structures were destroyed by winter storms or salvaged for building materials used elsewhere on the coast. Today, nothing remains of the town except the foundation of a one-story schoolhouse and this old overgrown pioneer cemetery marked by crumbling tombstones with nearly unreadable epitaphs.“
