Advance planning means making decisions about your funeral or memorial service ahead of time, so your wishes are documented and your family has guidance when the time comes.

If you’re interested in advance funeral and cremation planning services, you can start with no obligation.

Our team begins by arranging an initial meeting to discuss the options available to you and your family. We will make note of your preferences and the options that are most appropriate for your family. Once we’ve compiled the information, you can share it with your family to provide a roadmap of your final wishes.

Reach out to us to get started!

Did You Know? Today we celebrate Stephen and Stacey Nitta, who passed away only three months apart.

Stephen was a Longshoreman with the ILWU Local 13 up until his passing, loved the Dodgers, and had a strong devotion to his family and faith.

Stacey was known for her devotion to family, whose warmth and humor left a lasting impression. She was the heart of their family, raising their 3 daughters to be strong, independent, and loving to everyone.

Their "I love you" gesture in sign-language was a frequent way of sharing love and joy with others. They were each other's perfect match, and their legacy of love and laughter will continue to live on in those who knew them.

Would you like to share a special memory of a loved one? Send us a message—we’d be honored to highlight their story.

✨ “A joy that is shared is a joy that is doubled.” ✨

The sweetest moments are the ones passed from generation to generation.

Watching a grandfather’s laughter mirrored in his grandchild’s smile reminds us how love multiplies when it’s shared.

Spread joy today!

Grief has no roadmap. One moment you’re okay, the next you’re overwhelmed by a memory, a song, or an empty seat at the table. It’s messy, unpredictable, and deeply personal.

One tool that can help make sense of the chaos is journaling. Journaling gives grief a safe place to land. It allows you to say what you can’t say out loud. It helps you process, release, and eventually find new meaning in your world after loss. If you’re not sure where to begin, these grief journal prompts can guide you. There’s no right or wrong way to use them. Just pick one, start writing, and let your heart speak freely.

At the end of this article is a free grief journal that you can download that includes prompts with writing space, a gratitude list, and some adult coloring pages.

Do I need a will? What is a trust? Who does estate planning?

Estate planning might sound like something only wealthy people need to worry about, but it’s actually important for everyone. Two main tools in estate planning are trusts and wills. Both serve the purpose of distributing your assets after you pass away, but they act in different ways and offer unique benefits. In this article, we’ll talk about what trusts are, how they compare to wills, and explore the different types of trusts available.

Along with this article is a video series where you can hear from our community partners. Coastal Funeral Center is proud to present this Community Partnership Series on Financial Planning, Trusts and Wills.
