Funeral Services & Cemeteries near Redwood City

“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 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.“

“To all at Spangler especially Brian, I want to thank you for all you did for me as well my brother when my aunt passed on April 1,2026.
You went above and beyond words of gratitude are not enough.
A Death of a loved one is not easy and yet your compassion, empathy will never be forgotten. Being there at Forest Lawn in Glendale was like having my close friend near by. The close attention given to my aunt that too never will be forgotten. The casket was truly beautiful and the bronze rose sits next to my mom's.
Spangler Mortuary took much stress off of us and you treated us with much respect and dignity.
Yes,to this day I truly want the Truth as to what really caused my aunt's passing someone knows and I hope to find answers. Yes I told the Hospice nurse that I wanted an autopsy when my aunt was at the end and all the nurse did was look at me and when my aunt did pass I was asked are you really sure you still want and autopsy (shaking her head) I regret saying no. The doctors with Hospice cause damage as well as Good Samaritan Hospital the discomfort and pain they all inflicted was cruel and uncalled for. Instead of being honest with me the avoided the issue at hand.
The only consolation was that I had Brian who understood how I felt and even if it would be expensive in doing so at least I would have had real closure.
It has been a month and family members are still questioning who messed up why no one mentioned that horrible word it had Metastasis( that was never once told to me). My poor aunt died a gruesome most painful death I have ever seen and for her age of 94 she knew something was horribly wrong.
Death comes in all ages it is not just a number.
The medical professionals would often say what do you expect for her age? Seriously? Yes several physicians have said those words and i literally wanted to punch them the coldness was atrocious.
Just wait until it is your time.
Thank you again Brian and family..I highly recommend this Mortuary to all who need compassionate care when that dreadful day comes to make decisions. SPANGLER MADE IT EASY.
All the best,
Donna“

“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.“

“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???“
