Funeral Services for Mar Vista Families
When a Mar Vista family loses someone they love, they want a funeral home close enough to reach easily and experienced enough to trust with every detail. Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary offers traditional Jewish burial rooted in centuries of practice, along with interfaith burial and services for blended families of every background. Our team coordinates full funeral director services, from the first call through the final farewell, including embalming and body preparation, visitation, and viewing when a family chooses them.
For families who prefer a service without the casket present, we offer memorial services and celebration of life ceremonies guided by a civil celebrant, along with graveside services held on our grounds or at a cemetery of your choosing. Every service can include clergy or rabbi coordination, so the ceremony reflects the family's denomination and personal traditions, whether Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist, or unaffiliated.
Because Hillside's mortuary, chapel, and memorial park share a single campus, Mar Vista families never have to coordinate between separate locations during an already difficult time. We also assist with the administrative side of loss: death certificates, cremation permits where applicable, and Social Security notification, along with veteran benefits coordination for families honoring a loved one's service. For families further from home, we arrange funeral livestreaming so relatives anywhere can take part.
If cremation is part of your family's plan instead of burial, our Mar Vista cremation services page details our Concierge Cremation options. And for families who want to plan ahead, our advance funeral planning services let you document your wishes now, so your family isn't left guessing later. Call (310) 641-0707 when you're ready to begin, day or night.
Why Mar Vista Families Choose Hillside Memorial
Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary has served Los Angeles County's Jewish and interfaith families since 1941. Led by General Manager Rafael Ochoa, our team combines decades of institutional experience with the kind of personal attention families remember. Because our mortuary, chapel, and memorial park sit on one campus, a Mar Vista family can complete an arrangement conference, hold a visitation, conduct a funeral service, and proceed to interment without ever leaving our grounds, a "one call" experience that removes friction from an already overwhelming time.
Hillside has also been recognized with a three-leaf rating for green funeral service, reflecting a broader commitment to Tikkun Olam, the Jewish value of repairing and caring for the world, that runs through everything we offer, including our on-site Gan Eden natural burial ground. Families who want the widest possible range of Jewish cremation memorialization options in Southern California, a claim we're proud to stand behind, will find it here as well.
Beyond the funeral itself, Hillside offers ongoing grief support groups and community programming, so a Mar Vista family's relationship with us doesn't end at the graveside. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and every Family Service Counselor on our team is trained to explain options clearly, without pressure, so you can make decisions that feel right for your family.
