Services
Cremation is a dignified form of final disposition, and our services make it a meaningful and fulfilling way to say goodbye. It also helps you cope with the deep, yet perfectly natural, emotions that accompany a personal loss. Just as with traditional burial, you may choose to hold a memorial service, gathering, or visitation.
Douglass Family Mortuaries have been serving southern California families for over 80 years. The Douglass family founded the company based on the principals of serving families with compassion, dignity and respect. Over the past years, we have grown from a single mortuary location to a company with several locations throughout the greater Los Angeles and South Bay areas.
Douglass Family Mortuary is able to assist families in organizing a memorial service that is personal and meaningful. Sometimes called the wake, calling hours, or viewing, the visitation is a time for family and friends to gather and support one another in their grief. Often the body is present in an open or closed casket, allowing those who loved the deceased to acknowledge the reality of the death and to have the privilege of saying goodbye.
Is cremation a substitute for a funeral? No, Cremation is simply the final preparation of the deceased. Whereas, a funeral is a ceremonial practice that may occur regardless of the families choice of cremation or burial. So, I've decided on cremation. Can I still have a funeral or a viewing? Yes, quite often some sort of viewing precedes the actual cremation.
