More than 25 years ago, I made the decision to purchase six grave sites at the Holy Cross Cemetery, and since then, the prices have increased about 10 times. At the time, I wasn't entirely certain of what I was doing, but looking back now, it was one of the best decisions I made during my younger years. The cemetery has become a source of comfort and peace for me, reminding me to stay humble while living on this earth. Recently, we had two funeral services during the pandemic for my father-in-law and my mother. These experiences reinforced the significance of my earlier decision. During a short weekend trip to LA, I visited my mom's site with my older brother. We offered flowers, said short prayers, and took the time to clean the grave area. Each visit to the cemetery serves as a reminder that this may be my final resting place as well, prompting reflections on past memories and guiding how I should live in the present and future. There is no certainty about the future; all we have is the present, waiting day after day. As I visited the cemetery, I also prayed for all the souls in purgatory, embracing a sense of spiritual connection with those who have passed.

I cannot express how much Lupe assisted us on June 22nd with removing over-grown grass and dirt that grew over our Dad’s flower container. He put so much care and effort while still kindly talking to us. He really went and above and beyond to help us as if it was his own relative. There was very little to clean when he was done. Thank you so much for making our day. We need more kind people like Lupe.
