I did the outside walking history tour and loved it. Very interesting and beautiful grounds, everyone was so nice. Hope to come back for the inside historic tour!

Our family has several loved ones interred at East Lawn now, we visit often and are always happy with the upkeep through the seasons and kindness of the staff. Perfect place for a walk or a picnic too. Thank you for offering such a beautiful and peaceful place, sending lots of love. 💌

I attended a memorial for a coworker recently. I knew it was expensive because the 2-hour memorial was held in the chapel (which was nice) and there was an open casket. The remains had also been refrigerated for 2 weeks (or more). The price list is super general, so it doesn't break down the cost for everything, but I'm guessing it was about $10K or more. Maybe upwards of $15K. There aren't any casket prices or grave liner costs on the list, let alone mention of graveside activities ($$$), such as opening and closing, which ised to run about $1K back in the day. My coworker had a cardiac arrest, so her face would have looked very bruised. Again, her remains were refrigerated for a few weeks as well. The latter may have had more of an affect on the face's discoloration, but I wouldn't know. Nonetheless, whoever did her makeup didn't take the discoloration into account. Her face color wasn't even close to the rest of the exposed skin. It was a dark, gray-brown. Her shoulders were pale white and dimpled. I mention this because my grandfather died of cardiac arrest and stroke in 1971, yet his remains looked pretty lifelike despite the fact that his cause of death caused facial discoloration. His face wasn't discolored at his wake. People actually commented about how good he looked. This is a roundabout way of saying that the makeup artist at East Lawn Folsom Blvd. needs some help. Maybe more training. Also, the casketing could have been better. They could have made her remains look better. Lose the pillow under head and place it under her shoulders or neck so she wouldn't look as if she had a goiter (which she didn't have when she was alive). As I mentioned, the extended refrigeration ($125.00 / day) may have caused some problems. But given the investment made by the family, I think East Lawn Folsom could have stepped up their game. They could have suggested better clothing for the remains. Maybe they did, but what she was wearing was a mistake. Or they could have made all of her exposed skin look the same. (Make an effort, folks!) Anyhow, I wanted to like you, East Lawn. I but I didn't. Not too much.

Thank you to the staff of Eastlawn, Folsom Blvd for the concern, care and professionalism felt by our family during the recent passing of our dear Mother. Dennis Early and Victor Xiong are both exceptional. We are pleased with our decision in choosing Eastlawn.

The kindness and professionalism of the staff is wonderful. I chose East Lawn because of their reputation, East Sacramento grounds and historical building (go on the tours - beautiful and historic!). Additionally, when it was time for my parents to be picked up, after they passed away, the same two amazing gentlemen wearing suits arrived quietly, respectfully and with more dignity I've ever seen taking away loved ones. They are employees of East Lawn, (NOT an agency that puts loved ones in black bags and either on a gurney or just carries the black bags out). These two gentlemen who took my parents (once in the early morning hours, the other time late at night) arrived quietly, with dignity, wrapped my parents gently in white sheets before placing them gently on a gurney then covering them with a fitted blanket. It was ceremonial, compared to "efficient." It gave me a lot of comfort to witness such care.
