About Gates Kingsley & Gates Moeller Murphy Funeral Directors
Gates Kingsley & Gates Moeller Murphy is part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral chain in the United States, which is worth keeping in mind if independent or family ownership is important to you. As a full-service funeral home in Santa Monica, they are equipped to handle a range of arrangements, though specific details about cremation, burial, pre-planning, or veterans services were not available for this summary. Pricing information was not provided, so families are encouraged to request an itemized General Price List directly from the funeral home, which they are legally required to provide. The funeral home holds a 5.0-star rating on Google, though this is based on only 11 reviews, so the sample is relatively small; customers consistently highlight individual staff members — particularly Shannon and Letty — for their compassion, professionalism, and attentiveness during a difficult time.
