What Families Are Saying
非常感謝May Hsiao和她的團隊最近幫我先生的追思禮拜辦得既莊嚴又充滿懷念。May替我們設想周到,再加上她的專業精神和真誠的愛心陪我們渡過最艱難痛苦的時候。她很有耐心替我們解釋所有的過程和盡力滿足我們的需求。有任何問題她總是盡快答覆。甚至她出國度假時,也會回答我的問題。在4年前經過2位朋友同時介紹May給我,然後請她為我公公辦追思禮拜。因為她上次辦的非常好所以這是第二次請May幫忙。真是對她由衷的感謝!也謝謝她的團隊和中華殯儀館!

於2024年3月經朋友介紹世界中華殯儀館可以協助辦理先人骨罈從台灣運回洛杉磯安葬事宜。 隨即和世界中華殯儀館蕭美紅小姐連繫、見面、簽約~處理先父骨罈從台灣轉運至洛衫磯。 2024年7月17日先父骨罈在台灣台北國軍忠𤫊塔前完成交接 ,翌日運回洛衫磯。於7月23日完成先父𩆜骨安葬。12月25日墓碑制作完成並安置。 前後共計10個月,世界中華殯儀館蕭美紅小姐不斷地從中連絡有關單位、人員,追蹤進度。服務態度親切誠懇,處理細緻,終於完成了一項我認為不可能完成的任務,了決了我心中30年的心願~ 感謝世界中華殯儀館的協助,感恩!

Why funerals are essential to healing.
Bringing family together.
Coming together with friends and family gives everyone the opportunity to share memories, express emotions, and find comforting support. Whether you choose burial or cremation, the need for acknowledgement of the loss with family and friends is ever present. Together we can create a unique meaningful ceremony to express the genuine individuality of your loved one.
A place for family & friends to gather.
When selecting burial, the ceremonies you design revolve around the casket being present. Traditions may be followed, with a viewing, and then a funeral service in the chapel. Or you could choose to have a more relaxed memorial service. We’re here to help you to arrive at the perfect way to gather together, prior to your loved one's interment.
Cremation doesn't limit their life celebration.
Cremation refers solely to the manner in which you or your loved one has chosen to deal with the physical remains. It doesn’t limit the ways you can honor your loved one's life. We heartily suggest that you have a funeral or memorial service, because your need for such a healing experience is not lessened by the decision to be cremated.
Traditional. Profound. Healing.
We can help you design a meaningful and healing committal service to take place at the graveside. These services can take place outdoors or even inside a mausoleum. We'll guide you through the process of personalizing both the service and the site in multiple ways.
The possibilities are endless.
We invite you to explore the many unique ways to celebrate and honor life. Whether you choose burial or cremation, having a service to honor life, and a permanent place to visit remains, are essential parts of the healing process.
