About Lighthouse Memorials & Receptions
Lighthouse Memorials & Receptions is a full-service funeral home in Gardena, CA, operating as part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral chain in the country — families who prefer a locally or independently owned provider may want to keep that in mind. They offer a range of services including cremation and traditional burial, and their facility includes reception space, which can be helpful for families who want to hold a gathering on-site after a service. Pricing information was not available for this summary, so it's worth requesting a General Price List directly from the funeral home and comparing it with other local providers before making a decision. On Google, Lighthouse holds a 4.3-star rating across 59 reviews; customers frequently praise specific staff members — particularly Leslie Saldivar and Ernesto Cano — for their compassion and attentiveness, though at least one reviewer noted there is room for improvement in the overall process, suggesting the experience may vary depending on the staff member assigned to your family.
