The service
Viewing or not, a chapel or church service, music, readings and who speaks. Written down once, so no one has to guess.

Advance funeral planning in Inglewood and Los Angeles.
Plan the funeral side ahead, with a counselor at your kitchen table: the service and the casket or urn. A small life insurance policy from Homesteaders Life funds the plan, and the arrangements are made at Inglewood Cemetery Mortuary, on the grounds of Inglewood Park Cemetery. Your family gets a written plan and a paid path instead of guesses.
Everything on this site is free to read. You do not have to sign up for anything to learn how it works.
How it works
- Talk. A free planning call, in English or Spanish. Billy explains the options and answers questions. Nothing is decided on the first call.
- Decide. The service and merchandise are written down with Inglewood Cemetery Mortuary. Prices come from the funeral home's General Price List at the meeting.
- Fund. A Homesteaders Life policy is set up to pay for the plan. How the funding works.

Start where you are
Casket or urn
Look at the styles calmly, ahead of time, and choose in person with a counselor.
Not sure where to start
Most people start here. One conversation covers the choices, the paperwork, and how funding works.
Why decide now
You can decide this now, while it is a conversation, or your family can decide it later, on the worst day of their year. Most people wait. The ones who don't leave a plan, a paid path, and a lot less arguing.
