Olive Tree Mortuary FD-2246 & FD-2304

Olive Tree Mortuary is 100% recommended! The staff, compassion, and professionalism are beyond comparison. We have used their services on two separate occasions and I'm so impressed with how they handled everything. At our mother's funeral, the priest forgot his planned speech, and Isa offered and took over with grace and professionalism and led the service. The owner, Goulade, made a very difficult situation easier, with true compassion! Janet, in the office, took over and prepared all the details seamlessly. The whole staff is excellent and alleviated any problems so we could spend time with loved ones.

One of the most honest, trustworthy, and kind places I've worked with. Goulade and his son made this process a lot easier on us as a family from the first day until the burial. Their kindness and support means the world.

Very glad to have found Olive Tree and I would highly recommend their services. They were very respectful, professional and accommodating to meet my families cultural preferences and expectations. I will always be grateful for their help through the difficult process.

Goulade and Janet have been wonderful with me and my family, taking care of all the paper work and necessary burial arrangement for our beloved sister. They are very compassionate to deal with in this hard situation. I highly recommend them.

My wife of 41 years died in the Sacramento area unexpectantly earlier this year. We wanted her buried in the Whittier area to be near her family. We contacted the cemetery where we wanted her buried. They were able to make the arraignments to have her picked up and brought down. And there she lay for 3+ weeks with absolutely nothing being done. We received a referral to Olive Tree Mortuary. Upon contacting Goulade, he commiserated with our woes and assured us he would take matters into his hands and get my wife buried in a timely manner. His son and Janet took very good care of everything and my wife was buried the day before the other place was expected to have a phone appointment to get things in motion. A million thanks to everyone at Olive Tree Mortuary!!

Thank you brother Goulade for your assistance. Much appreciated!!!!

They have been serving the community for 20 plus years. They are extremely humble and professional. They handled my father's funeral service with such care and compassion. Would highly recommend their services.

We Thank God for finding Goulade and Olive Tree Mortuary. His service and prices were exemplary. Will be recommending their services to anyone in need. Thank you Goulade for taking such good care of our mother.

Goulade is a nice human being and all of their workers are so sweet. They helped us a lot, within 4 days they shipped body from LA to Bangladesh. During that time they collected all the paperwork and necessary stuffs. Also he got everyone a good price. Thanks for helping us!

I was at a total loss when my wife passed away and I had to find a place for her. Prices just took my breath away, I had no idea. Found this place by luck and the staff took my hand and helped me every step of the way. Made an impossible situation possible, and were very caring and understanding.

Prices are on the low side on what is out there, and stuff they could have charged extra for, they didn't. Just a very nice helpful place when I really needed it.

The staff at Olive Tree were truly the best. When my mother passed away. She was sent to another mortuary. They were horrible, I was very stressed out. Then Olive Tree was referred to me and Goulade was so caring and helpful he made the process less stressful. We had my mother transferred and Goulade took care of everything. Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Highly recommended.

You don't think about writing a Yelp review after a funeral service. However, this is a service and the quality of service during a time such as the funeral of a loved one is worthy of a review. Olive Tree is one of the most professional, honest, and decent mortuary services one can come across in Orange County. When going through an emotional time such as a funeral, Olive Tree is a service you can trust and rely on. After one call, they immediately took care of all the funeral arrangements all the while honoring the dignity of your loved one who has passed away. They will work with you on the details at a fair and reasonable cost.

Well, I recommend for everybody, as every thing went very smooth, Thank you Isa, and thank you Janet, and all your wonderful team.
Thank you for your helping me to let My Dad have this wonderful final trip with that dignity.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all staff from Olive Tree Mortuary. We are appreciated all your help to complete my father in law last minute of his life. Our family can’t done without your service. They are over and beyond from start to finish. All of them are kind, warm hearts and lovely people. Highly recommended this place. They are not only doing business, but also they are real family!

I don't usually post reviews but I feel that if my experience may help someone else make a decision about such an important issue then I should overcome my discomfort. I first learned about Olive Tree and Goulade in 2018 when I lost my father to cancer. At the same time my mother was battling cancer and passed in 2019. Ultimately and most unexpectedly I lost my younger brother in December of 2020.Goulade was able to take the most difficult and sad times of my life manageable. He helped me with difficult decisions. Goulade allowed me to grieve but also helped and encouraged me to move forward. He and his staff have been nothing but cooerative, gracious and kind. I truly don't know what I would have done without them. I know there are many mortuaries to choose from but burying a loved one is more than just finding a service. I felt Goulade was with me in my grief and he cared for my loved ones as his own. And that has made a world of difference in my recovery.God bless whoever is reading this review and may you find comfort and strength as you traverse this difficult time of your life.

After my mothers passing this past week, the process of planning her services was incredibly smooth and seamless all thanks to Janet. Janet organized a beautiful service and allowed my family and I to say our final goodbyes without a worry in the world. God bless the team here at Olive Tree.

These people are life savers, they responded when no others would when my Mother-in-Law passed away. They went above and beyond and took care of everything. When an immediate death in the family happens, the family members are distraught, stressed out with the arrangements, among their sorrow and everything else.

Olive Tree Mortuary took everything on so that we didn't have to worry about anything. They were so accommodating and waited for my son who hit traffic driving up from San Diego to attend his grandmother's funeral.

I definitely recommend them, they are there 24/7 and will respond to you as soon as you call. Hands down the best you can ask for.

This is a long overdue review. My step dad passed away a few years ago. My mom wanted to have a burial in Indonesia. We don't really know how to handle muslim burial in the US let alone bringing remains out of the country. But Mr. Farrah m, his wife and his son went above and beyond in helping us. They took care everything that needed to be done in here. From picking up my step dad (he died peacefully at home), taking care of paperwork from the state and the Indonesian consulate, making sure that he had proper cleaning according to Islam law, embalming, even booking the airlines tickets for my mom. Our family are extremely grateful for Mr. Farrah and his family.

Extremely helpful and compassionate. Brother Goulade is always quick to respond and very helpful. He is a Rock in time of need for my friends burial.

Thank you everyone at Olive Tree for your incredible compassion and kindness. I was able to prepare arrangements with Goulade more than 2 years ago. On the morning of my fathers passing Issa and Janet helped arrange everything. Berry was so professional. Highly recommend Olive Tree when this difficult and unfortunate event happens.

Very, very good experience I had with this funeral home. They helped me with so much! They helped ship out the body fast, and they are very kind! No extra charges I recommend this funeral home to anyone in need! Awesome service God bless!

I highly recommend this place. They were very responsive and efficient. I was always worried if I could not have the service on time. They were prompt, took care of every thing from Death certificate to the last moment of ceremony. They were in contact me along the way and kept me posted. Every thing went very well and even better than I expected. They are honest and reliable. Great service and affordable price. Goulade was wonderful.

Goulade is an amazing and compassionate human being. He made us feel very comfortable in every step. He was extremely nice and understanding. He worked with us, with everything we needed or questioned. He made this time of sorrow go smooth. His son was also very genuine and kind at the burial.I would highly recommend them because they are professionals and reasonable pricing.

Excellent, kind and professional. We couldn't have picked a more compassionate place. Everything was as promised and they took care of everything

Brother Goulaude is one of the most down to Earth, caring and thorough individuals I know. He took care of my mother that had passed away and did more than what we even asked. He spoke to us with such kind words and sat down and spoke to us like we were family, like we had known each other for years. Very professional, very kind and respectful. His services are A1 and I highly recommend Olive Tree Mortuary.

My brother-in-law passed unexpectedly early one morning. Everyone was shocked because we thought we had more time to place him in another care situation. We wanted to him see again and tell him we love him but didn't get that chance. After delivering this news to us the facility's staff told us that we only had two hours in which to find a mortuary. That was difficult to do after hearing he had passed because it was so emotional. However we somehow found Olive Tree Mortuary. We are so thankful that we did. Everyone we met from Olive Tree especially Janet was very helpful and knowledgeable. She thoroughly explained the process and what needed to be signed. The people from Olive Tree that went to the cemetery were very proactive and explained what was going on if they thought we might have concerns. We were amazed at how much better we all felt because we knew we were certainly in good hands. The cost was reasonable and affordable. The process was explained and went off smoothly. We are so thankful for their expertise and especially their kindheartedness. They went above and beyond all expectations. We feel blessed to have found them. Thank you folks.

Thank you brother 🙏

In a time of need and great sadness, those at Olive Tree Mortuary went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. I sincerely thank you and may God bless you all.

We've recently experienced the sudden passings of two much beloved member's of our family - one being my mother, who passed peacefully at home - and then my brother-in-law passed in a Riverside hospital not long after.We were referred to Olive Tree Mortuary and have been so thankful. Goulade handled arrangements for both of our loved ones with gentleness, compassion, and dignity. With him in charge we were able to experience our grief without the added stress of trying to figure out how to handle all of the details that go along with making pick-up, mortuary and cremation arrangements. Goulade gave us peace of mind during otherwise difficult times, went above and beyond and we felt like he truly cared. I would highly recommend Goulade and his team at Olive Tree Mortuary.

My mother in law passed and had no arrangements pre made.. having my husband upset on the day of her passing..I took the task to place things in motion by finding a mortuary. We needed to find one as quickly as possible to transport her from the hospital to their facility. We knew the Veterans Memorial Cemetary in Riverside would be her final resting place with her husband but after we were told we needed to make arrangements to have her taken from the hospital soon I knew I needed to do something quickly . After searching online for Orange County I found Olive Tree Mortuary. When I called I explained I was not sure where to start ..Goulade answered my call and walked me through every step of the process. His kind gentle manner helped me in a very stressful situation. We were able to handle all the pricing..paperwork..signing of documents through email and phone calls which took a great burden from us and allowed us to stay at the hospital.
It is located in a nice business looking complex which has a comforting signage for Olive Tree Mortuary. The Mortuary has a viewing/services room and another comfortable room where guests can talk and visit also. The decor was lovely with a serene color pallet. It has a non religous feel but a more comforting and warm feel to it. Anyone looking for a non denominational location or a place where you can bring your religious items (they do both) this Mortuary may be perfect for your service..it was for us.
It felt personal and genuine and only one family service is done at a time unlike other Mortuaries which can have multi funerals or services going at the same time in different rooms. Thank you Goulade for your kindness and expertise when we needed it. Thanks and bless you!
I shared a photo of the lovely memorial cards they designed for my mother in law.
