I found this company when looking for a cremation service and I am really glad I did. Doug was amazingly compassionate and professional to work with. The process was seamless, communication was perfect. I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you for being there for us when we needed you!

Wonderful service. My cousin had been a ward of the state. There were many hoops to go through in order to claim his body. Doug a counselor from Direct Service was so patient and helpful through this whole process. Since, I do not live in Los Angeles, I was unsure who to choose for this service. I was so lucky to have chosen Direct Cremation and to have had Doug by my side through this process.

Direct Cremation was a God send. Death is a horrible time for anyone who has lost a loved one. Direct Cremation made a horrific situation so manageable, so humane, so dignified. They took care of everything and simply held us by the hand. Please do not hesitate to reach to them, some of the most compassionate folks around and that speaks volumes....

I was doing a research on different cremation companies. I came across this company and read the reviews. I was extremely impressed with their professionalism and service. Lawrence was communicative and James as well. They also helped us with the burial at sea arrangement. During this loss of a loved one they made the process bearable...
