Contact us immediately at (323) 296-6666. Our staff is available 24/7 and will guide you through every step, from transport to planning the service.
What is the difference between a funeral and a memorial service?
A funeral service is held with the body present, typically before burial or cremation. A memorial service is held without the body present, often after cremation has taken place.
