Inglewood Park Cemetery & Mortuary

My sister pasted away, I give the mortuary a one star, because the make-​up artist was terrible on a dead person and services of operation was poor. My sister did not look like herself, stated by family and friends, her first cousin refuse to view my sister, because her sister told her that she did not look like herself. On Monday, 7÷6÷15, I noticed at 3:30 p.m. Latino family having a repast outside of the chapel on the sidewalk, I mean tables set up and lots of food. This looked so bad for business to the mortuary, never again. I do not recommend this mortuary to anyone. The one star is for the counselor, which she was OK. TAKE YOUR LOVE ONE SOMEWHERE ELSE.

This a first for me to be here. This placed is packed with all types of nationalities celebrating with their Mothers. They may be gone but not forgotten RIP Drat Loc

my brother is buried here and if I’m not there every day. I’m there almost every day.
I absolutely love coming to see him. It is always quiet, clean, and relaxing.
I really do love this place. I can sit for hours & hours at The Garden of Peace.

I appreciate the accommodation inglewood dif for my family. My cousins remains looked like him. He just looked sleep. I appreciate how they roped off the area so that all these ladies want be kissing on him at the viewing. The person who applied the makeup came and freshen him up a bit. Which wasn’t necessary but we’ll appreciated.

There is an old gentleman at the gate where he sits and waits to give information to visitors. This is when you know a cemetery is well cared for and ready to assist, and this place has beautiful tombstones in its older section.

Happy Birthday Mom! Love You. This is such a beautiful and peaceful place well kept up from inside to outside, this may sound a little strange I have rode my bike inside here waterfall, shaded tree, and hills and hills.

My wife died June 27 2013 still waiting for the death certificates we paid them for. Keith Warfield is a bad director who never returns calls.

So how do you review a cemetery? They maintain the grounds extremely well and all of the employees are professional and courteous. I have never been disappointed by the condition in which my families area is kept. Unfortunately when ever we come here there always seems to be a service going on, but they do a great job of respecting your privacy and allowing all their personal space. The flower shop is small but fully stocked and they always have the appropriate holiday arrangements.

Sadly another family member has passed — our sister.
We chose Inglewood Cemetery Mortuary again because her parents were buried there. We wanted her buried near her parents, hence, here we are back at Inglewood Cemetery.
In anticipation of the mountain of paperwork I went to the mortuary and met with counselor Shirley Ford myself to fill out the preliminary paperwork for my husband. Ms. Ford couldn’t have been more understanding and helpful. She was sure to make us aware of the laws and signatures required from my husband, sister’s executor.
Had to wait 10 days before finalizing arrangements, so we returned to see Ms. Ford and finish plans.
Again, Ms. Ford couldn’t have been more helpful and solicitous to our fragile emotions. She filled out remaining papers in record time, had us meet briefly with a cemetery counselor, Carlos Cuiqui, in her office. He quoted prices, told us what to bring to his office in a few days, and he’d complete our arrangements.
A few days later we met with Mr. Culqui and all was well.
Done, done, and almost done. ..

Easy enough to get around, nice landscape. Attended a funeral held here. Everything was timely and in order.

Truly a beautiful facility. Staff take extra care to conduct a dignified service for love ones that have gone home to god.

Truly one of the most beautiful cemeteries I’ve seen to date here in Southern Cali. My husband is a history buff so we’ve started traveling locally to visit cemeteries of all kinds. Much interesting history about a city and it’s former population can be found at it’s local cemetaries.
This tip was given to use by a very friendly waitress at Norma’s restaurant down the road a bit and what a great tip it was. It is a HUGE cemetery which seemingly goes on for miles and miles. All of the grounds look well cared for and I saw no trash, vandlism or ugliness anywhere.
There are many different sections, just the ones we happened upon on the grounds was a section for folks who had worked for and served the Salvation Army, a section for babies and young children and some truly outstanding memorials that even back in the day, people must’ve paid a great deal of money for.
There were dozens of beautiful trees, flowers and birds singing in the background. Interesting that you could find such a peaceful and tranquil place, right smack in the middle of the hood, next to the Forum and a stone’s throw from Hollywood Park.
This would be a great place to walk or jog in a serene and safe enviroment and in fact, we saw a couple of folks doing just that. My husband and I went inside a couple of the bigger masoleums and they are truly specatular. They were clean, well attended and I’ve come to realize that a mausoleum that still has families and friends visiting the inhabitants will have plenty of spots to get water for flowers, an area to prepare them and clean restrooms.
This cemetary was the epitome of all of that and more. In one of the masoleums we visited, there was gentle music playing the background and if you closed your eyes, you might think you were in a library.
It is my personal belief that cremation is the way to go, especially financially, but were I to change my mind and be buried, the Inglewood Cemetary is where I would like to be, or something like that.

Did you know that you may be able to use the deceased’s life insurance to pay for the funeral costs? Not all will do it, but we were fortunate to not need to come out of pocket. However, be sure you remember that the money the mortuary is getting is money not coming back to you.
Inglewood called us the night before the viewing to say that the casket we bought for our dad would be «snug» and that the next size up would be an extra $ 500. What? They didn’t think to ask us our dad’s height and weight and now they want an additional $ 500? Fellow on the phone alluded to the fact that the insurance would pay for it — hmmm.
We declined and they put him in the larger casket anyway since it was their fault. That was decent of them.
Overall, we were satisfied. Just wonder if the casket thing worked on other families and if that was a real issue …

OK, I’m not really sure how to star rate this listing. I mean, «Yay? I’m a fan?» haha
Seriously though, I just finished up dealing with this cemetary. Well, almost. Still waiting for my dad’s death certificate. But that been said, this place is pretty expensive. An all-​out, top-​notch funeral/​viewing/​cremation will run you about $ 20,000. My dad’s cremation cost just under $ 1,400. That’s for a cremation ONLY!
I dealt with Dolores who ran through the myriad of paperwork efficiently and with patience. You definitely get the vibe that this is a business though. Thank goodness I won’t have to deal with them again.

My experience so far is not good. I have a crypt too at this location and based on my ongoing experience, I will sell it as soon as I get my loved one buried and buy at another location because I don’t want my loved ones to have a similiar experience.
My husband recently passed and I’m planning his service for ¹⁄₃₀ and Inglewood has me jumping thru hoops with going thru this process. There’s misinformation such as when I called to get pricing, the couselor told me there was no price difference whether weekday or weekend. Of course, when I got there that was not the case. Inglewood Cemetery Mortuary owns a chapel that can be included in your package. So sight unseen I locked in a timeslot for the services. I go in to finalize and take a view of the chapel and it’s a disgrace with countless deferred maintenance issues. Yes, it’s cleanly painted but they have curtains hanging for all to see that are frayed and dry rotted from sun damage plus it appears that there have been no cosmetic updates made in decades. The furniture where you sit with your counselor is worn beyond acceptable wear and tear. The counselor is so overworked or overbooked but nonetheless, I’ve called can’t reach her, leave a message and no return call for hours at a time and no one else can help you. Trust me — There’s NO discount in their pricing for services so I’m shocked that their quality of service and delivery is so poor. This company does NOT need to be patronized until they do something with reinvesting with upgrades to their facility and improve their quality of service to be available to assist families with finalizing the services of their loved ones. I could go on with all the mis-​information, partial information, no information communications I’ve had with them but hopefully I’ve conveyed the jist of my experience and I hope you don’t have to go through this.
