Benito @ Azzaro made a difficult time much easier. They were professional, caring and helped at every step of the process. My family is very grateful for the staff as they were caring and respectful.

I cannot say enough good things about Benito & Azzaro Pacific Gardens. David and his team offered compassionate, caring and efficient services for my father's funeral over 7 years ago, and most recently, took care of my mother's passing. They handled a wide variety of details and services, including working with medical staff to obtain signatures over a week-end. I highly recommend them.

The staff has provided me with a positive experience in the past on family arrangements and continues to be supportive and informative on my own pre-plan funeral arrangements. I recommend Benito & Azarro Pacific Gardens Chapel to anyone who needs to plan or pre-plan a funeral arrangement.

Very helpful, competent and compassionate staff, especially Megan. She kept things on schedule and guided me on decisions that I never had to consider before. It has been a pleasure working with Benito and Azzaro.
