Important Information

We remain deeply committed to the health and well-being of our community families and our associates.


Based on Governor Newsom’s stay at home order, We will be meeting with families on an appointment only basis or we may make arrangements by phone. We will continue to serve the community by providing essential mortuary and cemetery services such as removal, phone arrangements, direct burial and direct cremation service. We will allow spouses and children to view their loved ones for a short time. But are unable to hold traditional funeral viewing until further notice.

 

This will allow families to address immediate needs of their loved one and allow the option to schedule memorialization services at a later date.
