Todd Memorial Chapel

Todd Memorial Chapel (Pomona location) made a very emotional and difficult time a little easier in dealing with the details and arrangements of planning a funeral.
Brian Pewe assisted me in making decisions for my fathers burial and transport to Riverside National Cemetary, Brian was so kind and considerate, NEVER trying to take advantage during such a vulnerable time by up-​selling me services I did not need. (I’ve had this happen to me before at another establishment), he answered all of my questions and was concerned that I understood every service and charge. This funeral home is family operated and its definitely reflected in the service, compassion and care their employees take in helping you make decisions for your loved ones funeral.
Thank you Brian and Todd Memorial Chapel for everything, I highly recommend, they were truly a blessing to me during a very difficult time in my life.

We have used Todd since the 1960’s; recently we used them again for my pops. Everyone was so kind and helpful. I am sorry I do not remember everyone’s name however Courtney and Joel were the kind and gentle with all of us. At a time of grief, these folks are the best. Thank you!

this place is great had a viewing here and the worker was helpful in everything we needed. the place has a separate side for family that has a wall which gives us privacy. i defiently recommend this place

I never thought that I’d be needing a funeral home’s services for years to come. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case. Upon arrival I was welcomed by a friendly staff that guided me and help me and my family make good decisions based on our needs. Given the large family that I have, we needed the chapel for my dad’s viewing (instead of the small rooms). I must say that once everything was set up the morning of the viewing… the chapel was beautiful. It was large enough to hold us all, a total of about 150+ people. From the lighting, to the seating of the immediate family, and flowers… everything was done for us and beautifully planned. The pricing was also significantly less than other newer places, but honestly, this was the most beautiful funeral I’ve been. I have been to places that have been shady and not felt comfortable to mourn the loss of a loved one. Thank you Todd Memorial Chapel for being a solid place, you’ve got a returning customer in me (although, I hope it doesn’t happen often).

Todd’s Funeral Services and Memorial has always done excellent work. I’ve had family and friends pass on and it’s always reassuring that such compassionate services are available. Seating is limited with a floor and balcony area. The foyer helps with the overflow of mourners. Audio and video services are provided. Parking lot is small. Best to park at church across the street, in the back.

Todd Memorial Chapel provided service for other family members and friends in the past years but it wasn’t until recently when I had to face the difficult task of my father’s funeral did I understand everything that was needed. My family members and I first met Brian. He explained everything and was so patient with my mother who can’t hear very well. At no time did I ever feel obligated to purchase additional services or merchandise like flowers, crucifix, printed materials or even the casket. I mentioned I was ordering the casket from another vendor and felt no pressure from him. He make it clear they provided merchandise as a convenience but we were welcome to purchase elsewhere if we liked. After going home and looking elsewhere I found their prices reasonable and ordered everything thru them except the casket. Brian and everyone else at Todd was so accommodating in every way leading up to the services. Joel was the person in charge of services both days. When we arrived for the Rosary and viewing with boards of pictures, he quickly asked how many easels we needed and after they were set up, he carefully moved flowers hidden behind the easels out where they could be seen. On the day of the funeral, he assured me cards I had left at Todd’s to be place in my father’s casket were taken care of by him. He was professional in every way. Our motorcycle escorts were no different. Since my father’s casket was covered with the American flag, they saluted the casket while it was loaded onto the hearse. On the way to the cemetery, the procession was twice interrupted by freight trains. Our escorts held everyone up until we were all together again. I couldn’t have asked for better service.

I agree with Bonnie, it is difficult to rate a funeral home… that being said… the home is overshadowed by the huge church next door. The parking is limited, so use the church next door. The interior is beautiful with intricate painting. The seating is small and intimate.

Upon arriving the Pomona property in order to make arrangements for a Claremont service, I witnessed a prostitute negotiating a deal with a motorist. The mortuary staff made light of the situation and treated it as normal or common. This was not the best first impression. We tried to work with the mortuary staff to fulfill our funeral through financing we set up. This mortuary’s staff was completely unwilling to do a little paperwork and help our family at our time of need. The mortician Keith was rather cold and had a push off attitude. After absorbing this, I’d rather he not touch my loved one.

It’s a little difficult to rate a funeral home. But it was a nice service and it felt very real the family got to cry and even laugh and nothing felt staged

Todd Memorial Chapel has provided the services for my Father in 2008 and my Mother in 2012. I cannot ask for a better experience at such a difficult time. No detail was over-​looked, no request was too much too ask. The prices also seemed very fair. I hope I do not need to make funeral Arrangements very often, but I will always call Todd Memorial Chapel first. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give them a 20.
