Lakewood Funeral Home & Memorial Park

I want to thank all the staff at Lakewood Funeral Home for the wonderful service performed for our late mother. I want to personally thank Spencer for making this ordeal seem smooth and peaceful. From the first phone call to the funeral home to the final burial we were treated with professionalism and compassion. Thank you!!!

Planning the funeral services for my father was amongst the most difficult experiences I have had to live through. However, the staff at Lakewood made this experience a much easier one to bear. They were caring, empathetic, and comforting during this very difficult time. They were also very experienced and knowledgeable and helped us through the process. We are extremely appreciative for all the support given to us during this difficult time. Nadya was outstanding, helping us with choosing a beautiful plot for the family, following up with the funeral home, and being 100% present during the internment of my Father. My father’s resting place is a beautiful area overlooking the lake and vineyards at Lakewood. The cool breeze, the beautiful grounds, the peace and serenity, and the great staff at Lakewood were a key deciding factor in selecting our family’s final resting place.

Update: 11/2/2023: Theirs still only 1 Entrance/exit and other gates around the memorial is still closed. Nothing is being done about this and time to let the city know and let them know hopefully Lakewood can use their own resources since this place is VERY expensive with 1 bad entrance/exit with Hight traffic Update 5/25/23; memorial weekend. Unlimited flags looks really good, BUT EXIT/ENTRANCE IS still dangerous to LEAVE/ENTER! Open up the back ENTRANCE OR HAVE CITY PUT A 3 way stop sign with flashing red light!!!!!!! Will put complaints to city next! I have a few “family members” buried here, and overall, it’s clean and well kept. I don’t see any trash anywhere and the plots I visit are always cleaned. ****Entrance is a little “hazardous” as you exit/enter the only 1 entrance to the this cemetery, and it needs to be addressed. Another safer access would be greatly appreciated as theirs another gate opening by the back right side, by the cows. At night, visibility is harsh, and I can only imagine how many near missies there as, as I experienced some myself. **** Next, is the Roses/Flowers that is left behind for the “Remembered”. I feel that if I leave them there, and within 1-2 days, it is removed and thrown away because it is “landscaping day” or it is easier for “Everything/trash/flowers/balloons/decorations” to be picked up on the same day ie: every tues or every Friday, I don’t know, but nowhere, is there a sign of “we pick up flowers on this day/time.” “””Flowers/roses/balloons””” isn’t CHEAP and is pretty EXPENSIVE, over $20-50 easily!!!! **** last but not least, the sprinklers, large metal heavy canopy covers with wheels!!!! I’ve visited a few times and I found the “wheel” of the large metal “canopy” shade cover literally over the cemetery plot!!! It’s rolled right over it and it’s pretty heavy that you need the “machine/truck” to move it away. Finding someone there to let them know the issue is impossible, as nobody works there it seems! Now the sprinklers are on, yes to water the grass. But it also is making the “plot” fade and look ugly! I actually called about that and they said they’ll look into it, asked for the space number and name, and nothing has been done. They said we can pay for the sealer but isn’t that already what the “Large amount” is paid prior to buying their “Plot”? Hope it gets taken care off and we shall see these next few months

We held my mother's funeral at Lakewood Memorial Park. The service was excellent and the people that I worked with Nadya Horvath, Spencer Herendeen and Nathaniel, went above and beyond. I am so thankful to them for assisting me through this difficult time. The ceremony was beautiful and all the arrangements thanks to them!! The entire staff at Lakewood provided comfort and solace to my family and me!! Deacons Jim and Phil were excellent!! There are not enough words for me to give thanks to all and especially Nadya, Spencer and Nathaniel!! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!! I give them a five star plus!

The staff at Lakewood were great. Lakewood is beautiful and they keep up on the maintenance. Everything went great. Already having the plots for Mom and Dad it was still exspensive to have everything done and finished. We ended up using a different funeral home to meet our budget and needs. Living in Hughson we are glad to have my parents just a short drive a way.
