Our Funeral Home: Compassionate Care and Support Every Step of the Way

At our funeral home, we understand the deep emotional journey that comes with the loss of a loved one. That is why our dedicated team of certified death midwives is committed to providing you with care and compassion throughout the entire process. With a focus on green and environmentally sensitive practices, we are proud to be certified by the Green Burial Council.

We offer a comprehensive range of mortuary and funeral services to cater to your specific needs. Our services include Direct Cremations, Home Funerals, Green Burials, and Full-Body Sea Burials. Rest assured that all our services are affordable and 100% natural. We are available 24/7 to help answer any questions you may have during this difficult time.

Servicing the entire Los Angeles area, including LA County, Orange County, San Fernando Valley, Pasadena, and Long Beach, we are conveniently located in Agoura Hills.

One of our signature services is Direct Cremation, which provides a simple and affordable option for those who do not wish to have a funeral service or viewing. This service includes the transport of the body to our care facility, refrigerated storage, necessary paperwork processing, the cremation process itself, and a temporary urn for the ashes.

Our home funeral service is truly unique, allowing family and friends to care for the body of their loved one in the comfort of their own home. This service allows for personalization and the opportunity to honor cultural and religious traditions. Visit our home funeral page or FAQ for more information about home vigils and funerals.

For families looking to minimize their ecological footprint, we can assist in finding local options for green burial. A green burial is a truly natural way to lay a loved one to rest. By forgoing embalming and using biodegradable materials, the body becomes part of the natural habitat. No headstones are used, but instead, natural rock formations or GPS coordinates mark the final resting place.

With our Full Body Sea Burials, we offer a green and natural burial option without the need for a traditional burial plot. The body is gently shrouded in a custom shroud, weighted with pebble stone ballast. Our chartered boats can accommodate up to 100 passengers and will take you to the sea burial cemetery in federal waters 6 miles from the shore. The funeral service takes place on deck, and family members can participate in deploying the body while the bell tolls eight times, honoring maritime tradition.

In addition to these services, we also offer Witness Cremation, where families have the opportunity to have a 10-minute ID viewing at our cremation facility. This service allows for a simple ceremony and offers closure as family members can participate in the process of placing the casket into the chamber.

Our Funeral Celebrants are available to help create a meaningful and personalized service to honor your loved one. Whether you choose a home funeral service, a chapel or graveside service, or a memorial, our celebrants will assist with all aspects of funeral planning, including writing the eulogy, creating tributes, and officiating the service. Please call in advance to ensure we can provide the support you need.

We understand the impact that different cultural and religious backgrounds have on funeral traditions. That is why Sacred Crossings is a non-denominational service without cultural or religious discrimination. We are dedicated to supporting BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and all minority communities.

While it is best to plan in advance, we are here to assist families at any time. Please feel free to reach out to us directly or give us a call at 800-805-5561 for more information or to schedule an appointment in the comfort of your own home.
