Reviews
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.

Sometimes death sneaks up on a family. And you aren’t sure where to turn. I have known Vince & Gary through a community organization for several years. I had a family death while on hospice and turned to Pacific Gardens Chapel who handled everything so quickly and professionally. I am extremely grateful for their assistance.
