ID Viewings
This is an opportunity for family and friends to see the deceased person's body in a respectful and private setting before a cremation or burial takes place. This event can serve as a final farewell and a way for loved ones to say their goodbyes.
During a viewing, the deceased is usually prepared and presented in a casket or an alternative container. The purpose of a viewing is to allow family members and close friends to pay their respects, share memories, offer condolences, and find closure.
Please make all arrangements with funeral homes and the funeral home will contact The Gardens into details of the said service to ensure a respectful and comfortable environment for all attendees.

Natural Organic Reduction
Natural organic reduction is a sustainable and environmentally conscious approach to end-of-life care that combines elements of burial and composting. It involves placing the deceased's body in a specially designed vessel that fosters natural decomposition through microbial activity, akin to composting.
This process enriches the soil with vital nutrients, promoting vegetation growth and establishing a beautiful cycle of life and renewal, forging a lasting connection between the departed and the natural world.
Natural organic reduction not only offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional funeral practices but also allows for personalization and customization, enabling families to add personal touches like meaningful objects or seeds to the vessel. By choosing natural organic reduction, families can embrace a sustainable way to memorialize their loved ones, leaving a positive impact on the environment for future generations and creating a lasting legacy for their departed loved one.
The Gardens Crematory is southern California's largest crematory, offering simple and affordable cremation services to both the public and Funeral Homes in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, San Bernardino, and Riverside County.
