Very trustworthy funeral service we have used on our family life celebration services at Westminster Memorial Park, Good Shepherd Cemetery & Christ Cathedral all with the help of "Heaven's Gate Funeral Home" I highly recommend this memorial service provider.
I just had my funeral services for my grandfather through Heaven's Gate memorial services this weekend. My family is extremely upset with how everything went. The owner did not tell us that Garden Crematory was in a warehouse and we believed it would be a nicer, more intimate setting to say goodbye to my grandfather. To top it off, he had rushed us through the entire memorial. We were supposed to have the viewing room from 10am-12 before the cremation. He rushed everyone to say their final goodbyes, and took my grandfathers body to the incinerator in the cement warehouse, lead us in there while we were so distraught and crying that we didn't notice he put my grandpas body in and ended the service before 11:30!! There was also someone else's dead flower arrangement in the viewing rooming the floor by my grandfathers coffin and what looked like an urn! And when we went into the room with the incinerator, there was another coffin by the door just covered with a sleeve. Last, but not least, I don't believe they prepared my grandfathers body the best they could because I could see there was some kind of white stuffing in his mouth as it wasn't completely closed. This was not the right way to say goodbye to my grandfather and his children are very very upset. A funeral should never ever be rushed and a lot of people didn't get to pay their respects as our service was ended over 30 minutes early. I thought I had deep regrets not visiting my grandfather sooner, but my deeper regret is using this funeral home that cut our goodbyes even shorter.
