Concierge Cremation for Mar Vista Families
More families across the Westside are choosing cremation, and Mar Vista families deserve options as thoughtful and personal as any traditional service. Hillside arranges Concierge Cremation, a comprehensive, respectful process handled with the same level of care as a full-service funeral, whether or not a memorial service is included. Families who want to gather can pair cremation with a memorial service, a graveside service, or a Jewish memorial service guided by clergy.
Once cremation is complete, Hillside offers an extensive range of memorialization options within its own gardens and columbarium. Our on-site Canaan Cremation Garden features private family estates, ground urn spaces, and urn boulders, while the Trellis Columbarium offers individual and companion niches framed by imported granite archways. Families who prefer scattering can also work with us to arrange ash scattering by sea, air, or another meaningful location through our trusted vendor partners. Urn selection and cremation jewelry and keepsakes let families keep a piece of memory close, wherever life takes them.
Cremation doesn't mean stepping away from Jewish tradition. Our team coordinates rabbi and celebrant involvement so a cremation-based service can still include the readings, rituals, and observances a family values, and we support ongoing practices like unveiling and Yahrzeit remembrance afterward. If your family is drawn to a more natural option instead, ask us about Gan Eden green burial, or read more about our Concierge Cremation approach.
