This is my first and hopefully myvlast with this place. Horrible, horrible customer service. Never return phone calls. My mothers headstone was delayed, because someone "as they never identify themselves" told me that my mothers plot was not a double that it was a single, so the headstone i ordered and had been waiting for was not going to happen. It needed to be larger for a single or smaller for a side by side... turns out that was the wrong information and i had already changed it where it was beign made at. Sooo finally corrected by a former employee ... 5 months in and they scratched it bad. Been calling for a week and no assistance at all. Rude, and very unprofessional.

When u can't properly pay your last respect to your loved ones because inconsiderate people sitting on grave eating they make parks for a reason

Really easy to find, thanks to clue on youtube videos. Right when you enter, head straight, go ahead and park once you see the big white building. Richie is on the second row across the building, do not pass the building. We did not know how to find it. But with clues from videos we looked at the surroundings. No one gave directions.

San Fernando Mission Cemetery located in the valley of San Fernando Los Angeles County. On the corners of Rinaldi and Sepulveda Boulevard in the city of Mission Hills California 91345. I'm innocent, enough to say that I have a very special place in my heart for this place. First of all, I want to start off by giving a little bit of History background of the cemetery. This cemetery is controlled by the Holy Roman Catholic Church and it was established in the year 1800. Which makes it one of the oldest establishments in the San Fernando Valley. The name San Fernando comes from the king of Spain in the 16th century. Also, adjacent to the cemetery is the famous San Fernando Rey de Espana mission. Just one of the 21California Spanish missions established from the mid 1700's all the way up to the early1900's. Now the reason why the cemetery is very special to me is because my grandma, Ageda Montiel-Barraza, is buried here. And so is my uncle Javier Montiel. We will miss them very much and we know that they are in a very special place now that they are gone from us.

When do the flowers come down for the Thanksgiving week?

Steven Maggiora | Dec 8, 2021
Jose De Santiago | Dec 8, 2021

My understanding is, like every Thursday they will pick up old flowers on Thursday, thanksgiving day, then they will leave them till January 3rd, or 6th, after thanksgiving we can decorate for Christmas, so it will be up to us, to remove the old flowers, they will water in case you plan on decorating, hope this makes sense to you and helps you, if not call them, or ask the flower shop in the cemetery.

What day of week you clean up flowers at grave

Loan To | Sep 5, 2019
mel C | Sep 5, 2019

The flowers are picked up on Thursday afternoons. Except for holidays such as mothers day and Xmas which then the decorations /flowers are left on the gravesites for an extended amount of time. So when I order flowers for my sisters gravesite over there, i make sure they're delivered on Friday or Saturday so that way the flowers are there until the next Thursday afternoon.

Can we decorate for halloween?

Lorena Llanderal | Nov 8, 2021
Lili Aguilera | Nov 8, 2021

Lately I have seen that you can. However, It has to be very minimal. Not too much decorations because I feel like that will draw attention for the workers to remove it. Keep in mind they clean up every Thursday morning. Unless if they decide to keep the flowers longer than a week for the day of the dead.
