Funeral Services And Cemeteries near Menlo Park

“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 entire staff from the beginning and throughout were kind and supportive. We never felt worried about the arrangements and everything went smoothly. We would never have been able to get through without the comfort and direction of John Crosby, Joanna, Herb, Gus and Enrique from their independent contractor Loved ones. Sneider & Sullivan & O’Connell’s Funeral Home was welcoming and the Chapel was perfect for our service. Thank you for coping with our grief with grace.“

“Neptune Society did a great job of communicating quickly and accurately during difficult times. The Belmont staff was friendly, compassionate and diligent in carrying out my loved one’s last wishes. I would highly recommend Neptune Society’s cremation services.“

“They are compassionate and patient. Al Stanley, Funeral Director, knows the answer to every question. We were treated with the utmost kindness. Highly recommend.“

“Gary and the staff have done a wonderful job for us yet again, we really appreciate all the help they've been to our family“

“Don't quite understand the hateful one-star reviews, but this is human nature, especially when in stages of grief and post-mourning and such. And when great amounts of money are involved in this sort of service, well that's when those who survive the deceased and are tasked with making arrangements can lash out, I suppose. My family are extended relatives and long-time friends with the family who held the service at Alta Mesa. So my account is simply a visitor's experience. Daytime funeral was in a nice, bright, well ventilated space. It didn't feel depressing or lugubrious or anything oppressive. The occasion was sombre but the ambience was not. Perhaps the audio visual stuff could have been improved during the memorial. The building itself, I was told, is relatively new construction, within the past two years or so. The restroom facility is good, and the lobby is welcoming. Parking was a breeze. A cheerful person took us around the very peaceful pleasant sunny grounds to the burial site via golf cart, and he was extremely helpful, accommodating and kind to us and Mama with her mobility issues. I really don't have any complaints about Alta Mesa Funeral Home and Memorial Park. My family's experience as visitors attending services and then burial was as smooth as one could expect.“

“The expert made a prompt and polished arrival. He completed the safe lockout in 15 min. Nicely done!“

“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???“

“Aileene and the staff did a wonderful job during a very difficult time for our family. Our dad had bought a plot next to our mom decades ago and we had no paperwork to show for it. But it was absolutely no problem for the GOH team and the entire process was smooth, caring and professional. It doesn't hurt that the property is beautiful and very well maintained.“
