Funeral Services & Cemeteries near San Lorenzo

“San Lorenzo Pioneer Cemetery is viewable on a driveby on Hesperian Blvd., a very busy street. i was surprised to see a cemetery here. it's been a long time judging by the dullness of the monuments, granites. i never see any activity. there's little green grass visible within the perimeters. the cemetery is closed seemingly at all hours. parking isn't readily available if one wants to visit. i have no interest to do so. one can see within by standing on the perimeter. there is a sign posted that the cemetery will be renovated. the sign is a few years old.“

“They made my family and myself feel like we were the only family that they were attending to everything was first class service and my Father's appearance made me smile.“

“The entire process was handled with grace, love, respect and compassion. This is not something that we know about. Dennis, owner of Chapel of the Roses, was part of every conversation and decision made. I felt like he handled our situation, as though it was his own. I can’t say enough good things about him and his staff.“

“Even though we have troubled Dennis with phone calls throughout the day and night, he has remained respectful and light hearted. As disorganized as our time was and our religious traditions, Dennis accommodated for our needs and was understanding to our family. When we had to reschedule the service days last minute, he wasn't unkind or iffy of our choices, instead he happily reschedule even though it was on such a short notice. As the service day arrived, he even went out of his way to check on us in the middle of such a hard time and made sure we were on schedule. On the funeral day, he had ensured that our loved one safely arrived to her final resting place. His actions and kindness were truly heartwarming as the owner and advisor of the chapel. In combination with his hospitality, his pricings were affordable and humble.“

One of the gentleman there, named John approached me right after he saw me coming and asked if he can help me with the flowers. I did not received in a while as a florist such a beautiful customer service. Inside the church the other gentleman- Steave was helping out the best way and make room for our large arrangement we created. Very easy drop and i’m impressed with the service. Thank you for all you do for people who suffer a big loss right now. Sincere condolences to the entire family.“

“Our family are grateful of our mother funeral service that were handled by this chapel. Both Thomas And Lily are patient and respectful in helping us understand the whole process. In addition, they were actively guiding us through other aspects that significantly saved us time and effort.“

“Our close friend’s family had a memorial service here and their experience and mine (while helping out) was such a beautiful contrast to the high pressure, exploitive tactics used by some mortuaries.

The staff was so friendly and helpful, and they were all willing to step in and help with whatever we asked for and step aside whenever it looked like we wanted to handle it ourselves. It felt SO different from the assembly line atmosphere I’ve witnessed elsewhere and it allowed the family to relax and treasure the experience of saying goodbye with family and friends.

Thank you, Jess C Spencer staff!!!“

“Jay was extremely professional and helpful during a difficult time for our family. We used Deer Creek for my mom when she passed away in 2014, and the upmost care she received from Deer Creek staff was appreciated. My father wanted nobody else to handle his body when he recently passed. With COVID protocols, Jay came to our home to complete the paperwork and walked us through the entire process despite us already going through it back in 2014, so we appreciated the clear communication. Jay was present for our father’s services and made sure everything went according to plan. Thank you Jay and thank you Deer Creek staff.“

“We had an excellent experience with Art Monument Company. A special thanks to Andrew. He was approachable, informative, and offered a variety of options to choose from. We were on a tight timeline to have the stone completed for my brother's 1 year anniversary, and Andrew made sure everything was completed within the 2 months. The entire process was seamless and stress-free.

In the design process, Andrew consistently incorporated our feedback and delivered exactly what we wanted. The final stone exceeded our expectations--it was beautifully crafted with great attention to detail. The prices were reasonable, and we are very happy with the outcome. We highly recommend Art Monument Company to anyone in need of their services.“

“I am forever grateful for Jeanine who helped our family through the process of planning the services for our mom. During this difficult and sorrowful journey, she was comforting, empathetic and provided guidance, not as a service provider but as a friend and family member. They did an amazing job taking care of our beloved mom; she was the picture of serene, natural beauty in a deep sleep. I know our mom would have welcomed Jeanine with loving arms into her home and heart. Thank you Jeanine, you will forever be in our hearts and prayers. ❣️“

“The last several weeks have been quite difficult due to the loss of my husband. So much to deal with and so much paperwork, but because of the wonderful and caring help that Tom of Sorensen's Mortuary in Hayward gave me, I need to write a commendation for him. Tom is so knowledgable, patient, thoughtful, and gives excellent direction and advice. He listened to what I needed, and if he had important information to add, he did with great care. The outcome was that the arrangements could not have been better or more easy for me. Tom was truly outstanding in every respect, and by being so thorough and dedicated, he was quite a big help in getting through the sorrowful days. I could not have asked for a better person than Tom, and I am grateful to him for all he did and how he conducted himself throughout. My thanks to a very special man.“
