Can you deliver to Resurrection Cemetery on Potrero Grande Drive?
+
Yes — it is the closest cemetery to Monterey Park, sitting right where Potrero Grande Drive runs out of the city, and Sangabrielnurseryand Florist five miles away is the nearest of our 14 benches. What we need is what the mortuary's service notice already prints: the deceased's full name as spelled there, the chapel or mausoleum room, or, for a graveside committal, the lawn section and lot, plus the service hour. The grounds run up a hillside with internal roads and a mausoleum complex, so an address alone routes a driver to an office rather than the room where the family is gathering. Four lines of detail, and the arrangement is in place beforehand.
How do sympathy flowers reach Rose Hills from Monterey Park?
+
Rose Hills Memorial Park and Mortuary is about eight miles east on Workman Mill Road in Whittier, straight out the 60, and three of our benches work that side daily — May Flowers on Norwalk Boulevard, Scotty's Flowers on Colima Road and Whittier Blossoms Hop on East Whittier Boulevard. Same rule as any large hill: name the chapel, or the lawn section and lot number for a committal, rather than the street. Two dates deserve extra lead time. Qingming — the early-April weekends when families come to sweep the graves — fills the approach roads with valley families, and the start of November does the same for grave visits. In either window, take a morning delivery slot rather than an afternoon one.
Do you cover Calvary, Home of Peace and Evergreen in East LA?
+
Yes. Calvary Cemetery at 4201 Whittier Boulevard and Home of Peace Memorial Park — this county's oldest Jewish burial ground — sit a few blocks apart along Whittier Boulevard, and the nearest bench is Citycommerce Flowers at 2340 South Atlantic Boulevard, on the same Atlantic that runs through Monterey Park. Evergreen Cemetery in Boyle Heights, the oldest cemetery in the city of Los Angeles and home to significant Japanese-American and Chinese-American sections, is about two miles from California Floral Co at 220 East 1st Street in Little Tokyo. San Gabriel Cemetery on Roses Road, Live Oak Memorial Park in Monrovia and Forest Lawn Covina Hills are all inside the 18-mile radius too.
Should I send something for the 49-day or 100-day remembrance?
+
If the family observes them, yes, and it is frequently the more meaningful order. Buddhist practice in this valley marks the 49th day and the 100th day after a death with chanting and a gathering, often at a temple or back at the mortuary — Hsi Lai Temple in Hacienda Heights, about ten miles east, draws services from across the San Gabriel Valley. By those dates the first wave of flowers is long gone and most out-of-town senders have moved on, so an arrangement that arrives then is noticed. Ask the family for the date and the venue when you can; if it is at a house, a potted plant outlasts the gathering.
Can you deliver sympathy flowers to the family's house in 91754 or 91755?
+
Yes, and in this city that is a large share of the volume. Relatives receive visitors for several days after a death, often at a multi-generational house in Monterey Highlands or off Garvey Avenue, and condolence money is given quietly in a plain white envelope at the door. For a house, a living plant in a ceramic pot usually serves better than cut stems, which need daily tending in a week when nobody has attention to spare. Give us a phone number and, for the apartment blocks along Garvey and Atlantic, the callbox code. One courtesy: some families ask for no flowers at all, so check before sending.
