Glass items like ornaments, jars, or even picture frames can be difficult to secure properly to a headstone which can lead to them being broken quite easily. Broken glass can become a potential hazard to groundskeepers, other visitors, or their pets.

Celebrations of life are a time when people come together to celebrate the unique personality and achievements of the deceased without the more formal funeral service. They are commonly held after the individual's physical remains have been cared for, which allows you to make optimal decisions about how you would like to celebrate.

While all veterans, service members, and occasionally family members are entitled to a military burial upon request, there are a number of instances where this can be denied. This includes if the individual was dishonorably discharged, or convicted of a capital offense. If you have any questions regarding the details of these qualifications, don't hesitate to give us a call at 714-870-6303.

Many families prefer to have reminders of their loved one present at the memorial. This can include small handful or even hundreds of photos and memories attached to a board, or placed on stands. Another popular option is to have a table at the memorial service with items, symbols, awards, collectables. Lastly, a granite memorial stone can be personalized with your loved one’s information, and can be a great thing to display as well.

When dealing with a terminal illness and considering end-of-life preplanning, it is important for families to be on the same page about the patient’s care plan. In palliative care, family meetings are an important tool in identifying the patient’s wishes. We maintain relationships with many hospices in the area, so feel free to reach out with questions with a Facebook message.
