- FCFlora CamarillloJun 17, 20265.0It took me a couple of months to write this, but I wanted to extend my praise and thanks to Greenlawn SW for the great job they did with my Mom's memorial. Mom passed at the beginning of March and we reached out to Greenlawn to get some information on cremation and memorial services. We met with Chelsie, who was incredibly patient and kind, especially since none of us really knew what we were doing. We ultimately decided to have Mom's memorial a month and a half after she passed to give family enough time to make arrangements to attend. Chelsie was in constant contact with me and my sister the entire way. Any questions we had, she responded quickly. It took a little bit to get the death certificates, and there was a small mix-up with them, but Chelsie quickly rectified the situation when she was made aware of it. She helped us pick a nice location at the cemetery for my Mom's memorial, next to a small lake. She and her team set up the chairs they provided and the chairs we rented under a tent and the setup was really lovely. We also rented the reception room onsite, and Chelsie was gracious enough to meet with us a couple of times before the day of the event so we could set up, test equipment, etc. The rest of the people I met throughout the time we were preparing were also incredibly accommodating - Gloria, Grace, John - I'm sure there are names I'm forgetting since it's been a little while, but I will not forget the positive experience we had with Greenlawn in planning for my Mom’s memorial. Their help was invaluable and I highly recommend their services.
- JOJuliana OpongJun 10, 20265.0The Greenlawn staff was very supportive after my mother passed. They have been compassionate, kind and very efficient with our burial arrangements. They do have a nice facility, pleasant and calming.
- LLLeeMay 30, 20265.0Greenlawn Cemetery helped our family so much. The professionalism, communication, care, dignity and respect we received from them was outstanding from start to finish. We appreciated the seamless coordination they had with the Veterans Cemetery as well. They also went above and beyond honoring a couple of special requests our family had. All of the staff were supportive and kindhearted. We are grateful for all of your support – Special Thank You to Jeini Sarabia
- KSKandie SampsonMay 22, 20265.0In a difficult time Miguel at NE cemetery was a great help and very comforting. The entire process was easy and I felt like our family mattered to them. My Dad actually was an old motorcycle buddy with Digger Helm so he always knew that Greenlawn cares. Special shout out to Ruben and Reyes for their kindness of setting dad's headstone for us today and I could see before leaving for AZ.
Frequently Asked Questions About Greenlawn Cemetery SW
How does the cost for a funeral ceremony compare to the cost of a memorial service or celebration-of-life?
Attempting to compare the costs of the three is rather like trying to compare oranges, mangoes and apples; it can't be done. Perhaps it's easier to see funerals, memorial services and celebrations-of-life as three points on a spectrum–a range, if you like–of ceremonial formats. At one end is the funeral; at the other, the celebration-of-life, and in the middle, the memorial service. The funeral is most commonly the most expensive of the three; which is especially easy to see when you consider the cost of the casket is a significant expense. The cost of any of the three is totally dependent on the choices you make during the arrangement conference.
Is it necessary to have flowers at the ceremony?
Flowers create a background of warmth and beauty which adds to the dignity and consolation of the funeral service. "Necessary" may not be the right word; but there's no doubt flowers at a funeral or other end-of-life ceremony serve many valuable purposes including a means of a visual expression of sympathy, love and respect or a means of lending support.
What's involved in preparing the body for viewing at a visitation or funeral?
The preparation of the deceased can involve a number of different tasks performed by trained and licensed embalmer and restorative artists. Without going into too much detail; the body is temporarily preserved by embalming, refrigeration, or a combination of the two. It is washed, dressed and otherwise groomed; then placed in the chosen casket for viewing. Should you wish to know more about the process, contact us. There are also many excellent articles online describing the process in greater detail.
What is a celebrant?
The Celebrant Foundation and Institute define celebrants as "trained professionals who believe in the power and effectiveness of ceremony and ritual to serve basic needs of society and the individual. The Celebrant's mission is to help the client create a ceremony that reflects his or her beliefs, philosophy of life, and personality." A life-cycle celebrant is especially valuable when a family has no religious affiliations or ties to a clergy person or minister who can officiate the funeral service, but involving a celebrant in the funeral planning process has been found to enhance the funeral experience for all concerned. "The Celebrant comes to the table with no agenda," shares the Institute's website, "and no preconceived notion of what the ceremony should or must look like. Instead, through careful interviewing, the Celebrant elicits what is meaningful for each client." If you think hiring a celebrant is the right for your family's situation, contact us for more details.
