All of the staff at California Funeral Alternatives, from the lovely and caring woman who picked up my mother after she passed to the caring and efficient staff members who helped on the phone and in person were excellent. They also were there for us when my father died and my grandparents as well. I really appreciated how easy they were to deal with at such a difficult time. I felt very comfortable and knew from past experience that they were trustworthy.

This is the place to contact when you need help after the loss of a loved one. They provide information in a quick and responsible manner, treat one with respect, and provide honest, forthright service and answers. I feel they went above and beyond in a difficult situation.

The gal at California Funeral Alternatives who helped me was very compassionate, kind, helpful, professional, and caring. She did an excellent job.

On another note, however, because I had not been able to be with my loved one at his passing or see him for a few moments after his passing - as medical examiner whisked his body away under a sealed body bag and a tarp, I asked California Funeral Alternatives if I - by myself - could please see him one last time for a few minutes before he was to be cremated. Policy was a charge of $395 - even for a few minutes. I could not afford $395 for a few minutes. Sad.
