Inglewood Park Cemetery

Jeslin was so kind and comforting while assisting us with final arrangements. Every detail was covered, the care, and professionalism was absolutely amazing and appreciated. Thanks to Gloria also for providing the family with access to grief and support counseling. Thank you Inglewood Cemetery for a great job and being compassionate. We will be forever grateful. The Moody Family

My mother in law has visited my sister in law every single day for the past 16 years from the San Fernando Valley. The actions of this cemetery are beyond disgusting and disgraceful. Heartless isn’t even a strong enough word. People come here to remember, to celebrate, mourn, reconnect and reconcile with their loved ones. They don’t come here to feel disrespected and dehumanized. The actions that have been taken by management have shown they don’t care about the people that visit to achieve peace in their hearts. It’s a business to them and nothing more. The actions of Ponce (supervisor) and Rosemary (receptionist) have caused my mother in law much pain, so much pain that they will be looking into relocating my sister in law and cancel their plans to be buried here with her daughter. This cemetery even has the audacity to commit these heinous actions shortly after Mother’s day and shortly before my sister in law’s birthday and anniversary of her gaining her angel wings. The actions of this cemetery have caused an insurmountable amount of pain to my mother in law and the rest of the family. The people that come here to love and show respect to their loved ones deserve to be treated like human beings. Please do not bury your loved ones here, they deserve to rest somewhere peaceful and full of love.

I was happy to see my uncle for the last time! IPC was perfect place for our family to say our goodbyes! The funeral home was very beautiful and where they held the ceremony in the chapel was very beautiful. Just a few tips and the only reason it gets four stars and not five because it’s very confusing and you can get lost quickly. It’s such a big cemetery, and where the church is, its on a really tight time schedule so pretty much do the service and you gotta get out which makes sense in a big city, but kind of wish they had AC because it was hot and groundskeeper need to be little more careful as one of them hit my back of my leg is one of the rods used fort uncles casket.

Had a wonderful experience despite the unfortunate circumstances. Came to buy some additional property and a burial arrangement. Had the pleasure of working with Margaret. Went above and beyond. She'll take care of you for sure.

Everything went perfect. We were never ever rushed even though sone people came late. We waited another 15 minutes to start. Thank You Inglewood Mortuary

Inglewood Park Cemetery answered all my questions in a professional, prompt and compassionate manner. Blanca Offered different options that I was not aware of or thought possible during my vulnerable time of need.

Recently had to make funeral arrangements for a loved one. I reached out to the cemetery and spoke with Kendra Greenwood. Being new to this process , Kendra did a spectacular job walking us through the process and options we had to provide our loved one with a beautiful funeral service . My family and I had high expectations and Kendra was able to exceed them. This was a difficult time for us and Kendra was very knowledgeable, understanding, patient and professional. It is obvious that Kendra cares. Kendra made our experience very smooth and comforting. Thank you so much Kendra, for your kindness and great services. Our loved one had a beautiful funeral service and now rests at a beautiful place.

The entire staff made the most difficult time of my life reasonably bearable. Counselors Jackie Ortega and Elizabeth Mosqueda walked us through every step. Their professionalism and thoroughness was very much appreciated. Every staff member I've encountered has been equally thoughtful and caring. I truly do feel the care of my father was dignified and respectful. My family was very pleased with the services. The services provided do not end with the interment of your loved one. I've received text messages form Gloria, with information on resources to assist with going through the grieving process. She has even text me to offer continued condolences and words of encouragement to help me get through this tough time. My sincerest thanks to Inglewood Park.

Old school since 1905. Every time I visit this cemetery you can tell they take very good care of the grounds. You never see trash and all the hedges and grass are trimmed to perfection.

I attempted to get a headstone for my mom just recently as an oversight it should have been included with her burial arrangements. So, I called and got a price quote twice in one week to ensure that the taxes and everything was included. They assured me. Prior to my going in, after I scheduled an appointment I asked the family counselor Josefa to check on the price. Mind you it hadn't been 30 days since I was quoted this price. Lo and behold I still got the same bait and switch game no up sale just the regular. $50 more when I asked how this could happen he simply said we had some price increases on June 1st. Granted he couldn't identify the actual line item. He could care less. All I can say is this is BAD BUSINESS & BUYER BEWARE. Get it in writing. Tell me these entities didn't make enough money during COVID 19? Just taken in right?

My dad is here , passed in'63. The property seems the same ,, well maintained. I once had a plot next to him, but I decided later to sell it. Some struggle to find it. Finally did. Next to a tree..

Worst experience ever yesterday 12072023. Went to visit my uncle Big Ricc graveside for his 22 year death anniversary and his headstone along with my grandma Nora Jean Benjamin was tore up. Mud everywhere and tractor marks all over the plot area. Both of my flower plots I bought were coveted to were I couldn't find them. And I had to pull grass off and uncover my family graveside headstone for over and hour. Contacted ground crew and no action took. Went to office no action took. Then went to my brother Waymond Benjamin wall plot and his flower plot holder was missing. Very disappointing visit to celebrate my uncle Big Ricc 22 year death anniversary. I'm very disappointed with Inglewood Park Cementary. If I could would give them a 0 instead of a 1 star. God Bless and Please help the entire Inglewood park Cementary Grounds crew and office staff. From Ricky Tweet Benjamin Family member of Ricky, Nora, and Waymond Benjamin

DO NOT PURCHASE PROPERTY HERE! I purchased property at cherry blossom which is the highest point of the cemetery about 15 years ago. The Gravesite oversaw the city of Los Angeles. It was one of the highest priced locations at the time because of the beautiful view which I didn't mind at that moment paying and made that sacrifice for a nice overview. I specifically bought it because of that reason and even made my Family purchase in the same area. I drove to Cherry Blossom recently and to my surprise they blocked the view by making a HUGE MAUSOLEUM IN FRONT OF My VIEW. Inglewood park cemetery had no respect or consideration for the customers who previously bought graves in the surrounding areas knowing the sales pitch at that time was the view..... Driving around the park, noticed they have built a lot of mausoleum buildings on tons of roads all over the cemetery making it look extremely ghetto and continue blocking off several the streets to continue to build, the cemetery looks like a labyrinth maze/jungle. It's making it very difficult for the elder and disabled to walk get to the graves and see their loved ones. It's a burden on top of a burden. It's very unethical, uncaring to say the least all because of GREED!!!!!!!! The cemetery in my opinion has ran out of graves therefore punishing grave owners by boxing us in surrounding Us grave owners with mausoleums buildings almost making me feel entrapped. At the pace this is going, we will soon have to park at the forum to walk in because they'll be no more roads to park at. Roads are continuously blocked off for construction. Not to mention the prices have went up so high as if they were located in Beverly Hills making it very unaffordable for the community they serve. I know the forum, Sofi and YouTube center are across the street but the residents are the same people. No upgrades have been to the cemetery the grass remains dry and beige. The cemetery looks worse by the day you are overpaying for a jungle. The lake which was 1 of the 2 only beautiful sights the cemetery had is now gone because they built a mausoleum right in front of it. I feel sorry for the customers that purchased their graves at that location for that particular reason to overlook the lake and ducks I'll probably end up selling my property and going to Rose hills or forest lawn where they actually care for the families they serve.

My mother has been buried for 20 years. COVID is the excuse for them not to care for the property, answer calls or emails. The office is closed unless you are paying or buying new property. I have submitted several request to have the sod replaced after 20 years and they have not done it. I've been waiting for 3 months.

If you unfortunately find yourself looking for a place burial avoid this place at all cost. Phone calls are not returned, decorations even the most minimal will be thrown out. The people who work there are rude.

Came to have my grandfathers head stone engraved, our family did not have it done when he passed away many years ago. The appt was made in good time and the staff are helpful. They are prepared to answer any question and explain everything fully.

Inglewood Park Cemetery is disappointing in so many ways. Years ago this was the best in town no longer not even close. The fact that I had to leave my brother there is the worst experience I have ever had to go through. Unfortunately this can't be changed, if I had to do over again that would NOT be his final resting place. Last but not least I paid in full for my brother's marker 6/1/23 to date my brother has no marker it's very depressing and knowing it's nothing I can do about it. Please save yourself the heartache take your love ones somewhere else

When someone passes away it is sad but if they have been sick or grown you can atleast have comfort that they are no longer suffering or you can have comfort knowing they lived a long life. Our loved one was murdered. This was devastating. This location provided our loved one a beautiful ceremony. The location is clean and kept up. We are still mourning the loss but we are happy with how professional and organized everything was.

They never return calls when they say that they will. They making grieving very difficult!

I have many loved ones at this cemetery including my husband. I also have my dad and brother who passed in 1992 ... and times have definitely changed! 2020 my husband and I purchased plots according to view and easy access to the road because we have senior citizen mothers . 2023 they are now building mausoleums on the street we use the most , making the traffic worst! harder to get to our loved ones and God forbid the poor elders its not safe! We didn't get a discount or any notice for this HUGE inconvenience! This is besides the rules on how and when we can put flowers or decorations on our loved ones grave ‍ My honest review I wish I knew I would've taken my loved ones to a much smaller cemetery! Cemetery has definitely became greedy! Visiting our loved ones shouldn't be stressful trying to squeeze into parking spots etc!

My Aunt's interment was here. The Service was nice, and the grounds were overall well kept. Can't really say much, but my family was treat well during our time of grief.

This is one of the historic cemeteries of Los Angeles. Finally I visited. Inglewood isn't my favorite place so if I'm in the area I usually just try to get though without too much frustration... which is not easy right now because it seems everything in the town is under construction. Having never been to this cemetery I had no idea where to go. A nice man at the gate greeted me and told me where the office is located. "Park in front" was his advice but much easier said than done as there is construction in that area so many cars and construction equipment. Including one jerk driving a bobcat tractor who opted to bear down on me while aggressively glaring because I was parallel parking and he seemed to be in a rush to get to the construction site. At the office a nice lady located the site and gave me maps. Very pleasant person! The site I sought was on the opposite of this large cemetery so I briefly explored. More mausoleums than I've ever seen in a single cemetery. The grounds were very well tended and beautiful. It seems like a few folks might use this cemetery as a shortcut between Florence and Manchester as several speeding cars were encountered, none of whom seemed to care too much about what side of the road they were on. Found the grave site and "had a moment ". It was quiet and peaceful. But how much of a moment can one have when visiting the ex-wife of a 3rd cousin three times removed? This lady is part of my family genealogy... and always been a "dead-end". Hard to locate both in life and the after-life so it made me happy to finally find her and spend a moment visiting. I hope she enjoyed the visit too! I'm sure I'll be back for more exploring when time permits.

This place doesn't care about anything but money, not only do you try to say they are "compassionate" that that's why they're in this field. Don't stand there and be a hypocrite with families that are already going through a tough time. Rosemary, you are a horrible horrible person. Not only did you go yell at my mom at her sons grave but you want to turn around and thrown everything away that my mother has placed on my brothers grave. You are a sick sick and heartless person. When we want to confront you about it you want to hide behind your director. Don't say it's not personal when everybody else still has decorations but they weren't touched at all. These people don't care about anybody, just their money. If you have a loved one, go somewhere else. These people don't care about their grounds, there's graves that have gone under and they don't care about them until they have to go get yelled at. Clearly they only understand when a frustrated family goes and tells them the truth. What a bunch of money hungry place.

Huge place, well maintained. Beautiful and peaceful and respectful. The streets are narrow so park close to the curb so others are able to drive past your car

A beautiful place to inter your loved one's remains. The grounds and mausoleums are well-kept and the staff is pleasant and accommodating. When I saw SoFi Stadium being built next door I worried that the construction or parking would encroach into IPC, but thankfully that was not the case.

We have two family members buried in the Garden of Chimes. We had placed momentos and pictures next to their head stones. When we arrived to visit they had been removed. We questioned an employee we saw working in the area and he told us that they had been thrown away. We contacted the office and they referred us to the manager who stated that he would look into it and get back to us. Over a month has passed and we have heard from no one. Please save yourself the headache and bury your loved one somewhere that cares, IF that is even possible these days.

Whatever you do, don't work with Jenene. She's impatient, unhelpful, and doesn't want to do the work or make accommodations. If you have a loved one who passed away, burial and service should be made easy, and you should be treated with care. Perhaps others who work here will be able to provide amicable service, but Jenene will and can not.

This cemetery is absolutely stunning! It has so much space and a lot of great options. IPC staff is also amazing, especially Luana J. She has helped my family so much and I will continue recommending her to everyone!

Over the years, they don't care about customer service. My mother is buried there, and all they care about is money. Ghetto sales people, rude arttitue, and don't even both to call them, chances are it'll take days before they call you back. Rather do business with the folks at Forest Lawn as they're compassionate and care about family services.

The grounds are kept very clean and I've never had problem visiting my loved one. The one negative is that it's been 7months and they have yet to place the name plate. Though I have to be understanding... with lockdown over they have a backup on how many they need to make. Oh and a plus is that they do have a flower shop on sight, or a Vons near by you can go to.

My wife died in May 2020 and was buried at Inglewood Park Cemetery in June. Here it is about 9 months later (March 2021), and there is still no marker on her grave. I have written several emails, two website messages, and a registered letter to the cemetery, but I've received no response about this matter. We have two young daughters, and they cannot see their Mother's marker or even know for sure where she is buried. I understand that the Covid pandemic has required more resources, but it is the responsibility of the cemetery to get this done. My wife had a paid contract with the cemetery that included the marker. I probably would not have selected this cemetery, if I had known the service would be so poor.

I would not recommend Inglewood Park Cemetery. Because it takes 12 to 16 weeks before they will put your marker on your grave. If you ask them why does it take so long they will give you the runaround or don't respond at all.. They do not allow you to use a different manufacturer. Lorena said it will take 8 weeks Rosemary said 16 weeks Pamela said 12 weeks. Carlos Hermanez & Kevin Brown didn't return my call. As you see no one knows the exact amount of time but they collect your money immediately.

In February, 2004, I purchased a family court for 8 burials outside the Chapel of Chimes. Since then, I have had 3 family members interred. I specifically chose Inglewood Cemetery since it's a sacred place for members of the Baha'i Faith. However, I have been Very dissatisfied with how they have maintained our family court despite the Many complaints my family and I have made both in person and by phone. There has been No action taken! I have yet to receive a return phone call or see any changes regarding the numerous messages I have left with various staffers for our court's maintenance. For the past 8-9 years mildew has been growing on the walls and the grass has been overly watered and soggy thus seemingly causing the problem. It is an insult and true disrespect to my family members who have been interred. Further, it has been infuriating to me and my living family every time we visit to witness how poorly our court has been maintained. It appears it should be an easy fix to simply turn the water down or replace the sprinkler. I am expecting an immediate response to this complaint and ACTION be taken to remedy this situation. That includes cleaning the wall and fixing the root of the problem. I await your diligent response.

Inglewood Park Cemetery has an awesome employee in Donetia R. Meshack. I sent a request for plot/burial information for two people and she responded the next day!! Also, she provided me with information on two additional family members that I know my friend will be excited about. Also, I would like to thank the grounds keepers for keeping the Cemetery so lovely and inviting. My grandparents grave markers are clean and well kept. Maybe the plot numbers could be a little bit more noticeable?

My mother was buried here on 01/31/20, May she Rest In Peace. The cemetery is beautiful, very well tended, the grass is clean, mowed and the sidewalks are clean as well. I called today to ask if my wind chime and flowers were placed in the vase in my mother's vase at the mausoleum. Since she is buried at the very top, we can't put these things ourselves. Someone by name of rosemary answered, said yes. She proceeded to tell me in a rude manner that we have to do these things, due to covid -19 and that they want families to maintain minimal contact with their housekeepers. I tell her, how do you expect me to wrap the wind chime around the ring, if she is buried at the very top. I'm not a bird that can flap its wings and fly up there. At least the wind chime is up there, I will try my very best effort in placing new flowers in my mother's vase using the pole, so that I don't have to call these hoomans Giving them four stars since their financial counselor Blanca has treated us very nicely and overall, the cemetery is very clean

We the Sims Family wanted to take a second to say thanks to Monecia Smith for your support and professionalism during the entire process of getting our love one together thank you so very much I Victoria Sims an Family really appreciate all and everything your establishment did to make such a lovely memorial for my son... I'm speechless ,I want to thank you immensely for your response, quality workmanship and timeliness of everything you promised I apologize for taking so long to write an review its been very hard but one day at a time God bless everyone thank you again

My name is Ricky K Benjamin and I would like to recognize and say I appreciate the customer service skills from Rosemary in Park Operations. I called with a complaint regarding my grandmother Nora Jean Benjamin and my uncle Ricky L Benjamin headstone flower plot being covered up or missing. And I explained to Rosemary I was frustrated due to the last couple of times I visited my love ones I could not put flowers down due to flower plot not being able to be found. My grandmother Nora Jean Benjamin 7th year death anniversary is may 2 2021 and I really wanted her flower plot to be uncover or replace by sunday. Rosemary kindly apologize and said she will make sure its uncoverd or replaced in a really caring and kind manner. Bless you Rosemary and IPC please keep people like Rosemary employed at IPC for people like myself whom care for there love ones resting place. Thanks again Ricky K Benjamin

My infant Aunt died in 1949, my grandparents never had a grave marker installed, my Aunt and mother wanted to get one placed for their sister, after my mother passed my Aunt wanted to make sure that we got a marker placed for her sister, we visited the Cemetery and met with George who set everything up for us, it was a very smooth process, the only problem was the material we chose for the marker was on back-order and it took a little longer than anticipated to get it to the cemetery and installed, The marker came out very nice and was placed quickly after it arrived. Inglewood Park is a very large cemetery and has many older graves, in section nearest to Florence Ave while the Manchester side has many of the newer graves. Very nicely maintained park like setting

We have multiple family members buried here. Lately, it seems that COVID has become a good excuse for the so called counselors not to do their job. I have made multiple inquiries about an issue we've had about a loved one that recently passed & all I hear is I'll get back to you today. Well, it's been months & I am still waiting to hear back from them! If it's your first time thinking about burying your loved one here, go elsewhere. All they care about is taking your $$$$. Once you pay them good luck getting any timely services or answers from them. I wish we had chosen another cemetery.

I normally do not complain about the cemetery because I come to place flowers on my mom's grave, spend time here and leave. The last time few times I was here, I almost stepped in dog feces. Small dog, but still dog. It saddens me people do not pick up after their animals. So since then I have walled woth my head down because the first time I step in something there's going to be a problem. As I write this I am leaving. Today I saw feces on my mom's headstone. I didn't bring cleaning supplies to clean it so I just threw some water down to remove some of it. I can't blame the cemetery, only the people who bring pets and do not pick up after them..very disrespectful.

I've been meaning to give a shoutout for a while. Everytime, I've visited the grounds are well maintained. The trimming around the edges of the headstones and the lawns well mowed. Also, I've seen the sprinklers on and when I arrive, if there's a maintenance person, we don't have to wait a while before the water is turned off in the section we want to go. I don't know if that's good timing or good manners on their part. But it's happened a few times. Thanks! There's been renovation and roads reconfigured due to new additions, but the grounds are easy to negotiate and to figure out how to find the entrances, both on Florence and on Manchester. I've been coming here for more than 50 years, as a child, and had a memorized pattern but it's still easy to find my father. I happened to be there the day before Memorial Day, and there was a huge floral mosaic of the American flag and a vintage car at the main entrance. The floral shop has reasonable prices that are not inflated, as with other memorial parks. I usually come with garden blooms, but I happened to check in there and was surprised to see reasonable "supermarket flower" prices. Also the locked restroom has an outside entrance at the floral shop; fetch key inside shop, which is usually lying on counter, FYI. BIG BONUS: I've seen Canadian geese enjoying the grounds too. I love seeing true wildlife in the city. Not huge flocks, but one or two here and there far afield from the fountain. There is a fountain and there are ducks, and when I was a five-year-old, my brother and I loved to scamper on down there with a bag of bread crumbs. The fountain is still there. So are the ducks. ALSO when an old but beautiful tree spread its roots widely, we asked to have roots cut back as it was encroaching on our loved ones' headstone, and pushing it up. They responded by taking care of this problem without destroying the tree. Big thumbs up. And thank you Inglewood Memorial Cemetery.

Inglewood Park Cemetery is the worst, after they collect your money, you are quickly forgotten. My brother's services were on August 14th, after forking over 10k plus on 7/26/21, I never heard from them again until I went up there on 8/9/21 to find out what was going on. I couldn't get in touch with my counselor , Jose Jimenez or anyone at Inglewood Park Cemetery after numerous calls. I finally met with Blanca on 8/10/21, who didn't appreciate my anger and pushed me off to the mortuary. On 8/13/21, Jose called me saying he was out of town. What happened to out of office messages? Well he called and said that he was apologetic and that he needed me to go pick up my brother's urn and deliver it to him. I said I was not doing it, I had already been up there to just be given the run around. He said that he would pick it up, well that didn't happen either. On the day of the services, no one from Inglewood Park Cemetery showed up. I had to pay an additional $870 for a Saturday service. My son had to carry the urn from the services to Heritage. The only people there were the maintenance people who couldn't figure out how to close the Niche. I called Jose Jimenez and he didn't call me back until 12:47 pm, the services were at 9:00 am. Please do not do business with Inglewood Park Cemetery they just want your money.

Bad customer service!! My mother is buried there and we met with Miguel Ruelas to discuss having our Moms headstone engraved. Met with Miguel on June 1st, and got pricing. He was going to confirm the material of the headstone and email paperwork to me to fill out. I hadn't received anything by June 3rd so I went on the website and found Miguel's email and cell number. I decided to email him since I figured maybe he'd gotten busy. Sent the email on June 3rd. Well June 9th... no response. So I went on the website again and found his cell number. Sent a text message and again NO RESPONSE. On June 10th I called the cemetery and of course he wasn't available so I was sent to his voicemail. LEFT A MESSAGE and again have received NO RESPONSE!! 3 strikes and they are out!!! I will find another engraved but I am disappointed at the lack of follow up and lack of customer service!!

Although the grounds aren't always the cleanest, the service they provide during a tough time is exceptional.

I don't recommend Inglewood cemetery at all! they have the worst service. They don't call you back when you leave several messages. They seem lost like they don't know what they are saying. Every person gives you wrong information. They want us to buy the markers from them which they sell them super expensive. Once they have you're money forget it they don't pay attention to you. My family and I regret having our love one here. 0 stars

Visitng a love one and was appalled that there was duck or geese poop everywhere on people love ones grave. Everywhere! Ducks or geese walking everywhere and pooping everywhere. Why?? The cemetery thinks that these geese are cute. Get rid of them or keep them contained! Again.....who want poop on there love ones grave. Because the cemetery is not cleaning up behind these geese!

On August 29, 2022 Monday my mother's funeral was on this day. Inglewood Park Cemetery Mortuary was unprofessional and showed no compassion whatsoever. Towards the final minutes; the funeral director stood before the guests and announced that the final viewing would begin shortly after the instructions. So, the mortuary staff opened my mother's casket removed the covering from within the casket and laid the floral reef onto lower half of the casket. The guests began to approach my mother for the final exit viewing; To my disbelief the funeral director failed to remove a cover from my mother's face! I waited a few seconds that felt like forever.... I had to stand up and shout to mortuary staff that my mother's face was still covered. Co- workers and neighbors and friends did not see my mothers face because the staff failed to remove the cover on her face. The mortuary staff walked over and removed the covering from my mother's face. I had to tell mortuary staff how to do their job at my mother's funeral. It was disrespectful to my mother and my father, my brother and myself and all of our extended family members, lifetime friends and neighbors. Not once did any staff member apologize. I had to go to the Mortuary and speak to my assigned counselor. Think twice before having a loved ones memorial service at Inglewood Park Cemetery Mortuary. If I could give this business negative 5 stars I would. Good luck with contacting management it seems like their always in a meeting no matter what time you call or walk in to speak with a manager. Read reviews before purchasing funeral services.

Beautiful location. The cemetery is always so clean. I just wish dogs would be allowed but I understand that to keep the park clean it would be best to not allow pets due to some dirty owners.

Extremely disappointed. The evelevator to the mosuleum has been out of service for almost 3 months now!!! My father is located on the first floor which would be like the basement below. My mother who is handicapped was not able to see him for new years because she cannot go up and down all those stairs. We went back again for his 2 year anniversary, and of course, the elevator again was out of service. My mother didn't want to leave without seeing her husband so she struggled down and up all those stairs. Do you realize what this did to her body? The next day she couldn't move, she was in so much pain she even had a fever!! This is unacceptable. You're building all these outdoor spaces and can't fix an elevator????? I'm super livid. This will be addressed.

I visited the cemetery on Mother's Day eve to place flowers for my mom, my brother, aunt, and in laws. The area was considerably neat. We were attempting to remove the lawn vasewhich was consumed with grass and dirt from the recent rains. During our struggle we were approached by one of the grounds employees, Osvaldo. He proceeded to help us in the task and replaced the ground vase and cleaned off the grave. He is to be commended as this is a holiday that I dread and is emotional for me. He made a difficult day bearable. Thank you Osvaldo.

Inglewood Cemetery and Mortuary gave us the best and most memorable experience during our time of tragedy. On behalf of the R. Samuels family we would like to thank the gentlemen who came to our home to pick our dear loved one. They were very professional, well dressed and kind. Karen Washington who handled every detail perfectly, promptly, professionally and with such love care as wisdom. The cemetary office Staff was great. Special love and appreciation for Lawrence and his wife whom were both very warm, professional and courteous. Lawrence and his wife delivered such exceptional service that my husband who generally hates funerals due to having poor service in the past changed his mind due to the level of professionalism that Lawrence and his entire team displayed. Through so much pain he was able to heal due to having had an experience with such incredibly beautiful people. Thank you Inglewood!

This cemetery is always kept clean from the outside to the inside, Its so relaxing, peacefully, after visting your love one you can sit in your car by the waterfall or just lay on the grass just relaxing eating or sleeping because the landscaping is amazing.

If I could give this location 0 stars I would. I cannot comprehend individuals who go into a line of work that deals with grieving family members that lack any empathy and carry an air of arrogance around them. My family had the terrible experience of dealing with Karen Washington at this cemetery. I have never once met an individual with this nasty of an attitude. She was condescending, rude, and ignorant.My family purchased lot from this location in 2008 and due to the recent passing of my aunt they went to figure out what steps to take next. Karen Washington told my family that their contract was no longer valid and due to lack of space , they were going to have to go to another cemetery and that their original purchase price was no longer valid due to inflation prices. This of course came as a shock to my family and when they questioned the original deed and price for the lot she told them that they were stupid and ignorant for signing a piece of paper without reading the fine print. I will of course be submitting a complaint form to the DCA in regards to this form of practice and fraud. I will be warning people away from doing business with this location, it's a shame was negativity this brings to the funeral industry.

I understand my post is detailed however please do not delete my post. Thank you in advance. My Grandmother passed away in late July of 2020. My family experienced good service from the Manchester location in preparation to have her Memorial and Cremation done however as we had a Memorial Service date scheduled, the Governor required that all Mortuaries postpone any indoor activity due to Covid-19. Our family was very understanding of this and have been very patient with waiting for the ban to be lifted however in the process of us dealing with the Florence location, we have experienced lack of communication from the staff. The Florence location is not professional with contacting families back. Our original advisor took a medical leave during her time of assisting us however our family was not made aware of this circumstance until late Aug/early Sept when we were seeking further information on where my Grandmother's ashes were to move forward with placing her in her Niche'. During the time of our advisor taking her leave, my Grandmother's ashes were left sitting there with no professional update to the family letting us know that our advisor was on left and that they would have to reassign us, etc. If it wasn't for our family calling various departments to get information, then we would have been left in the dark much longer. As a family, we understand a slight delay because of Covid-19 and also that the staff is often overworked but the lack of communication is not acceptable. It is also interesting how families can pay for their Niche/Plots, etc. on time and accordingly but yet, we still have to chase professionals to do their jobs that they are "trained" in. It is completely unprofessional to have a body from the end of July, proceed further with cremation for the beginning of August then to completely go missing in action with the family especially when the family has been working professional and effectively on our ends. Once we were able to make arrangements in early/mid Sept, my Grandmother was finally placed in her Niche towards the end of Sept. Our family was and still is very frustrated that it took two months to place my Grandmother in her final resting place. Losing a loved one during Covid-19 has already been complicated, having to wait for the ban to be released to move forward with a Memorial Service is already stressful but having to deal with stress from the Cemetery was beyond disappointing and hurtful. My perspective on the staff of Inglewood Cemetery for the Florence Location is much different now.

This place has such horrible customer service. I have been dealing with them since March 2020 and have had 2 reps to bury my loved one. I am looking removing my family from their cemetery and going elsewhere. If you are looking for a place to put your loved one look somewhere else outside of this ghetto. This place is horrible. Read all the reviews and BEWARE!!

I do love a good cemetery, and this one wasn't what I'd expected: I'd only driven past on the Manchester side, which has a dull view of uniform flat headstones. But on the Florence side, the older, more ornate, and more appealing (to me, anyway) stones are visible. Count me in. I was stunned at how BIG this cemetery is, it just keeps going and going; there are at least two places to hold services, maybe half a dozen mausoleums, and even after walking around for an hour, I had to drive the rest of the grounds. I caught the duck pond and the children's graves section. The cemetery opened in 1905, and the oldest graves are the ones I like the best; I did find a couple dating to the 1800s, but I assume the bodies aren't there, or had been moved with the headstones from elsewhere. There's a chunk of the cemetery right now that's dirt and occasional weeds, and signs say it's a renovation, but it looks so sad right now, and the tire tracks across headstones creep me out (I guess if someone died in 1929, someone probably doesn't get any visitors to freak out about it). The hands-down saddest grave I found was in the outside mausoleum: attached to it were laminated fliers about the inhabitant, who had been murdered and the perpetrator not caught. The fliers and plaque were covered in lipsticked kisses. I went in the mausoleum nearest the front gate, and it was pretty and clean, with instrumental music unnecessarily playing, especially "Sunrise, Sunset"; in Inglewood? The halls' lights are activated by motion sensor, so I'd guess some would find it creepy to be looking down darkened hallways. I definitely want to go back for more exploring.

We came here to on Mother's Day to put flowers for my mom and grandparents but we couldn't find one of the grave vases cause it was covered in new grass and Osvaldo the groundskeeper came and helped us. He put in a new vase and replaced the other ones of my grandma and mom. Gracias Osvaldo y feliz cumpleaños!

We had a double service on 12/8/17 at Inglewood Park. Our family counselor was Jason Downs. After going over wall plots and ground plots we went with a ground plot. Jason offered us some the most expensive plots that he had until I told him that I saw some property listed with a broker for $5000 cheaper. After we found a property at a price we agreed on I asked Jason if we could view the property and he said "He had to check the inventory and that would take about three hours" I then told him that we would wait and that I've never waited three hour for a counselor to check inventory. He then said that we could view the properties in about an hour. After we viewed the property he asked us to come back and sign the contracts. We came back two days later to sign the contracts and the paperwork was done for a totally different location. Jason asked us to come back again after he got it straightened out. We came back for a third time and we requested to have the caskets lowered in front of us for an additional cost of $750. Needless to say it didn't happen. I went in on Monday 12/10/17 and spoke to the vice president of operations and Ms. Cheryl Lewis and she told me she would speak to the other parties involved and call me back by Tuesday. I called her back on Wednesday and left a message and she returned my call. When she returned my call she made me feel like she was agitated at the fact that I had even called her back. I asked her did she speak to Jason about the original contract and she told me that Jason said there was no original contract. I was floored! Because with all of the mistakes and back and forth Jason dropped the ball and didn't include the witnessing fee. Then she said to me "I don't know what you want me to do! The services you paid for were completed!" I have done countless funerals at Inglewood Park without an issue. But when a customer tells you detail by detail all the mistakes that were made and you dismiss them like their issues are not valid and like they don't matter it's really sad. Inglewood Park has some of the highest prices in the state of California. When you make a mistake on something that's so important to people you should show some compassion and own your mistakes. I'm sad to say that my experience burying my only son at Inglewood Park didn't meet my expectations. I will be writing the Consumer Affairs office as well about the shady practices at Inglewood Park. ****Update I forgot to mention that Jason told my aunt and I that the cost for the vaults were $750 each and he did not offer us the lower option vault that was available. He cost us extra money that we didn't have to spend had he let us know all of our options**** ****I'm currently waiting to hear back from the president of operations Mr. Rick Miller***
