The Foothill Funeral Approach

Since 2016, Foothill Funeral & Cremation has been dedicated to serving grieving families with dignity, respect, and compassion.

Our unwavering commitment to care has earned us the trust of families throughout Southern California.

Located in beautiful Altadena, our state-of-the-art crematory features modern, efficient equipment and sits near our newly renovated chapel. This allows for a seamless transition from the funeral service to the crematory for those who wish to accompany their loved one in their final steps.

This setup is especially meaningful for Buddhist, Hindu, and Sikh traditions, which often include a funeral followed by a procession to the crematory for a farewell ceremony.

What truly sets us apart is that your loved one always remains on-site and under our constant care—from the moment they enter our facility through the funeral, memorial services, and the cremation process. Unlike many other providers, we never outsource or transfer your loved one elsewhere. Your trust is sacred to us, and we protect it with complete transparency and supervision at every step.

Burial

A time-honored tradition in many cultures. It involves placing the deceased's body in a casket and interring it in the ground, typically in a cemetery. Here are some reasons someone might choose burial:

1. Respect for Tradition: Burial has been a customary practice for centuries in many societies. Some individuals find comfort in following established rituals and maintaining a connection to their cultural or religious heritage.
2. Visitation and Memorialization: Burial provides a physical location where loved ones can visit, reflect, and pay their respects. Cemeteries often offer serene settings for memorial services and tributes.
3. Permanent Memorial: A gravesite serves as a lasting memorial, allowing future generations to remember and honor the deceased. Families can personalize the grave with markers, headstones, or plaques.
4. Environmental Considerations: While traditional burial can involve embalming and casket materials, some eco-friendly options, such as natural or green burials, prioritize minimal environmental impact.
   

Cremation

An alternative to burial that has gained popularity in recent years. It involves reducing the deceased's body to ashes through intense heat. Here are some reasons why someone might choose cremation:

1. Flexibility: Cremation offers flexibility in planning memorial services. Families can hold ceremonies at a time and place that is convenient for them, rather than adhering to cemetery schedules.
2. Cost-Effective: Cremation can be more affordable than traditional burial, as it eliminates the need for a burial plot, casket, and some associated expenses.
3. Space Conservation: As urban areas become more crowded, burial plots may become scarce and expensive. Cremation allows for a smaller footprint, making it a practical choice in densely populated regions.
4. Personalization: With cremation, families can choose to scatter ashes in meaningful locations, keep them in urns, or even transform them into memorial jewelry or art, allowing for unique and personalized tributes.
