Dear Mr. Varner,

Now that activities connected with the death of my sister have diminished somewhat, I want to take the opportunity to thank you and your wonderful Cypress Lawn staff for the thoughtful and compassionate arrangements performed for her.  Both the funeral and burial services were carefully executed with impeccable timing and performance.  Amelia Barquez, Sandy Guest and Philip Johnson were outstanding in their areas of responsibility.  I can only hope that future arrangements for other family members would be performed as well as the experience I encountered for Gloria.  I will always be comforted by the dignified and respectful behavior of Cypress Lawn staff during a difficult period.

Tony,

I would like to express my deep gratitude for helping me today!! I know today's accomplishment could not have been made without your help. I would do my best to make a memorial signature on that spot when I get back to Korea. Again, I really appreciate your help and efforts. I wish God bless you all the way.

 


We want to thank you for your kindness and guidance during our time of grief and the passing of my mother. I have never felt so at peace. Your compassion and caring will never be forgotten. You are truly one of God's angels directing emotional traffic on the freeway of life...


Dear Jack and Selena,
You were wonderful to us and everything about Cypress Lawn is tasteful and felt exactly right. Mom was quite the woman and I'm sure she was giving a thumbs-up to all the happenings. I'm sure she loved the rituals and festivities. She loved gatherings so much - and what a perfect reception room. I celebrate her life instead of thinking of her death. How nice it was to have you, Selena, and MaryAnn and all the others who helped guide us through a perfect day. We are grateful for your courteous attention to detail and your respect for our mother and us, her family, and friends.


Dear Sandy,
Thank you for sending two additional videos of my mother's pictures used at the Cypress Lawn chapel service. Sandy, you did a wonderful job handling the details, services and everything that went into making that day just perfect.


Dear Ken Varner, Jack Jensen, and all the Wonderful Staff at Cypress Lawn:
Thank you for your sincerity, thoughtfulness and help during this sad time. The funeral home staff really went above and beyond the call of duty. The directors and staff constantly checked on my family to see if anything was needed; even a week after the service! Cypress Lawn is truly a five-star cemetery. My family and I are forever grateful for the concern and care you provided us.


Dear Angela,
Thank you for the great work. Your work received so many compliments from our friends and relatives. Again, thank you!


Dear Sandy,
I want to thank you and each and every staff member of Cypress Lawn who assisted with my husband's funeral. I'm not sure how to express this in words, but all I can say is that my loving husband was absolutely treated with respect and dignity from the moment he left our home till he reached his final resting place. I thank you, Sandy, Selena, the receptionists, the funeral director and all the others for the wonderful way that I was treated, how my husband was treated, and how smoothly everything went.


Hi Clifford,
Thank you very much for all your help with my mother's memorial. The whole process would not have been so smooth without your direction and guidance for my sister and I. Much thanks to everyone else at Cypress who assisted as well, especially Ben and Amelia!


Rosalie,
Special and heartfelt thanks for all your courtesies, patience and guidance in helping me handle my husband’s burial in an appropriate manner. I especially thank you for your thoughtful gesture of placing a flower in his grave as it was filled. It was a perfect thing to do and gave me and the others the chance to give a final gesture of goodbye to a loved one. My grief is softened by your thoughtful and caring words and deeds.


Gentlemen,
We wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for the services rendered. Mr. German Lopez was invaluable with his helpfulness and kindness. Ms. Mary Ann Cruz performed an outstanding job. It was of great comfort in such circumstances to have these two employees advising and assisting us.

Our heartfelt appreciation for the support and compassion provided for our Dad’s memorial service. Thank you so very much.

To Cypress Lawn Staff,
Thank you so much for your help during our difficult time when my daughter died. I am thankful that the decision to become a member of the “Cypress Lawn Family” was done before the need was there. Keep up the good work.


Dear Carol,
I cannot begin to express how touched I was by your compassion and genuine caring at our meeting to finalize my mother’s funeral plans. My sisters and my husband were equally awed by our special connection... Being there to “hold my hand” at the interment services was the “Amen” on our new friendship. I will stay in touch – ‘til then, may God bless you.


Mr. Varner,
My brother was buried on Saturday, February 13th. I want to thank the maintenance crew and Amelia for being professional and respectful of our feeling on that sad day... My family and I appreciate their kindness and compassion.

Dear Tony,

Thank you so much for all your help. Your sensitivity and thoughtfulness are very much appreciated.


Tony,

Thank you for the earlier crematory tour and explaining the process of cremation. Because of your wealth of knowledge and kindness, I was able to ground myself during the process. Thank you.


Hi Tony,

I came from New Mexico to the cemetery in October with my friend... You found my brother’s grave in the infant section ... I think back to that afternoon and remember that you were focused on finding his grave. I know I will remember that for a long time.
 



Dear Mr. Varner,
It is with our sincerest gratitude and appreciation that we highly commend the outstanding service and true professionalism that your officers and staff had extended our family during the funeral of my husband...

The remarkable service extended to us by Rosalie Manalo, whose attention to details and extraordinary assistance, has made all arrangements smooth and problem-free ...

Philip Johnson, whose competence and kind accommodation skillfully managed the wake services with utmost care and attention to our family’s needs ...

Your first class Tiffany Chapel, Reception Center, and interment grounds bespeak of the employees that maintain the pristine beauty of Cypress Lawn.

our family will always remember the meaningful memorial ceremony amidst the pain of our great loss... Thank you so much for making the funeral service and interment of my husband very beautiful.
