Our Promise to Los Angeles Families

Sam Gertenzang, Founder & Owner
Driven by care, defined by excellence.
At Meadow, we know that arranging cremation care for someone you love is one of life’s most difficult moments.
Our mission is to make that moment a little easier, and to ensure every person is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion.
When you work with us, we promise to honor two principles:
  1. Dignified, compassionate care. Your loved one will be treated with respect, and you will be supported every step of the way.
  2. Clear, honest pricing. You’ll always know the cost upfront — no hidden fees, no surprises.
This is why families trust Meadow, and we’d be honored to support yours as well. That’s what makes Meadow the most trusted funeral & cremation service in Los Angeles County.
Warmly,
Signature, from Meadow
Sam Gerstenzang, Founder & Owner

How Our Cremation Process Works

1. Start the arrangements

Our cremation arrangement process can be done over the phone, via email or online. Answer a few questions, and we will handle the rest, whether you’re in Pasadena, Long Beach, or anywhere in Los Angeles County.

2. Your loved one is brought into our care

Once you have chosen Meadow as your provider, we will bring your loved one into our care and keep them safe until the paperwork is complete. Questions? Our team of experts are here to help.

3. Host a funeral service

Before the funeral, we prepare your loved one for the service with embalming, dressing, and casketing. You can hold the funeral at your home, a place of worship of your choice, or one of our partner chapels. We coordinate the details, provide transportation, and have a funeral director on-site to support your family throughout the service.

Note: This service is currently only offered in LA County.

4. Cremation and return of ashes

A licensed funeral director will complete the required documentation in accordance with Los Angeles County requirements to proceed with the cremation. Once the cremation is complete, the remains will be carefully returned to you in a tasteful wooden urn. We will keep you updated so that you are informed every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do families in Los Angeles choose Meadow over other cremation providers?

Many cremation providers in Los Angeles advertise a low starting price, but add additional fees later. We believe families deserve clarity and compassion — not confusion around pricing. That's why Meadow offers one transparent, all-inclusive cremation service starting at $995, so you know the full cost upfront. With licensed funeral directors, 24/7 support, and everything handled for you, families choose Meadow for simplicity, trust, 5.0-star Google reviews, and peace of mind during a difficult time.

What do I do after my loved one has passed?

The first thing to do is to call Meadow’s cremation service team at (844) 606-3210. Your Care concierge will walk you through the process, answer any questions, and collect the brief information needed for us to get started. Our team will do everything they can to make arranging a cremation service as simple as possible.

Once we have those initial details, we’ll transfer your loved one into our care and begin arranging the cremation process. We’ll guide you through the paperwork that must be completed, and keep you constantly informed of what’s happening with your loved one. In parallel, we can share guidance and resources if you’re considering how to honor your loved one with a memorial service.

Do I have to pay upfront?

We require payment for cremation on the day pickup is scheduled. Monthly payment plans are also available to qualifying families through Affirm, making our Los Angeles cremation service accessible to families on any budget.

Do you offer burials?

At this time, Meadow only offers cremation services. Cremation is now chosen by a majority of Americans.

Do you help plan funeral services?

Body-present funeral planning services are currently available only for families in Los Angeles County. You may hold the service at one of our partner chapels or at your family's preferred place of worship.

In other areas, we do not currently offer body-present funeral planning. Depending on the type of service you choose, you may still be able to have the urn and ashes present. If not, many families choose to honor their loved one with photographs, personal mementos, and other meaningful keepsakes instead.

Are you able to collect any time?

Yes we can help anytime day or night – our team is standing by 24/7. Sometimes timing will be dictated by the location of collection, for example certain hospitals will have dedicated collection times that we must adhere to. Needless to say, we will always work with you to collect as soon as you are ready, and will keep you informed.
