Benito and Azzaro, made sure they were available for us through the whole process of my son’s death. They took care of my son after his passing, the funeral, the casket, the death certificates, among other details I was too overwhelmed to even think about at the time of his death. I cannot recommend them enough to anybody who finds themselves faced with the difficult task of having to bury a loved one.

When you have to go through a death it’s tough. Benito and Azzaro made everything go perfectly and took care of it all so we could spend the time with relatives and family. They were always there to answer the many questions and make it a wonderful ceremony. We have used them for ceremonies in the past and we will continue using them. Thanks!

Benito and Azzaro Pacific Garden Chapel have been great comfort during our time of grief. The gentleman that arrived at our mother’s residence after her passing to take her body to the funeral home was very comforting. He was professional, was not in a hurry and was very kind and gentle. He explained what he would be doing and what procedures that would follow. The next day when we met with Maddison at the funeral home, she was an incredible help to us. She explained the plan that our mother had in place and answered all of our questions. She was very patient, professional and sympathetic. She took care of the obituary, death certificates and other documents that were required. We cannot recommend Benito and Azzaro enough for families that are going through such a difficult time in their lives.

Our family used Benito&Azzaro for my 98 year old mom’s services. She passed peacefully at home just before 3 AM and by 5AM B&A had come for her and kindly asked if we needed more time before they took her away. We were able to meet with them the next day. They did all the contact work with our church and the cemetery. Everything came together without any issues. They were so kind at every level of this emotional time. It was a beautiful facility too. Just perfect for our ceremony.
