Our funeral directors make a difficult time a little easier with patient, clear guidance.
Honoring your traditions
Many local families wish to follow Catholic and faith customs for a loved one. We listen first, then help plan Cremation or Burial that reflects what matters most to you and your relatives.

Cremation and Burial Services Available in Boyle Heights
Every option below comes with bilingual support and respect for the faith and family traditions that define Boyle Heights.
When a family prefers a simple farewell without a viewing, direct Cremation is the most affordable path. We arrange local transfer from anywhere in East Los Angeles, handle the permits and authorizations, coordinate the crematory, and return the cremated remains, with bilingual help in English or Spanish.
The loss of a baby leaves a silence words cannot fill. The Alpha Society offers private infant and fetal Cremation for Boyle Heights families, coordinating quietly with hospital staff and moving only as fast as parents are ready, often at little or no cost.
Many Boyle Heights families want a Catholic Mass or Christian service before Cremation. The Alpha Society coordinates with parishes across the Eastside, arranges transportation and viewing, and carries out the Cremation afterward, so your family can grieve and celebrate a life together.
Direct Burial is a simple, private Burial with no family present, so there is no viewing, no ceremony, and no graveside gathering. The casket is laid to rest at a cemetery such as Calvary or Evergreen, both long trusted by Boyle Heights families, without a service. For families who want to gather or hold a Mass or service, Church or Traditional Burial is the better choice.
A traditional Burial honors the deep family ties this community is known for. We prepare your loved one, coordinate the service at your parish, and provide the hearse and graveside committal. Bilingual support helps your Boyle Heights family plan each detail with clergy and relatives.
Green Burial
Families interested in a simpler, environmentally mindful Burial option can ask about Green Burial considerations, cemetery requirements, and arrangement steps. We can help explain what may be possible and how it compares with traditional Burial.
When relatives in Mexico or Central America need to say goodbye, a loved one must travel home. The Alpha Society prepares the death certificate, transit permits, and consular paperwork, then coordinates airline cargo and the receiving funeral home with patient, careful attention to timing.
Recording your wishes now is a quiet gift to your children and grandchildren. The Alpha Society explains Cremation and Burial options in English or Spanish, writes down your preferences, and can secure today’s pricing, with no fee to begin and no pressure to commit.

Can Cremation or Funeral Services Be Free?
Some families may qualify for no-cost services through whole body donation to science. Here's an honest look at how it works.
A no-cost option may be available
Some families in Boyle Heights may qualify for no-cost services through whole body donation to science. This option is for Cremation after an accepted donation and is not available for Burial services. The Alpha Society can help families understand this option and connect with BioGift when appropriate. Acceptance is based on eligibility, medical history, timing, condition, and BioGift’s review. BioGift supports medical research and education. If a donation is accepted, donation-related transportation, permits, Cremation, and partial return of cremated remains may be covered.
Acceptance is never guaranteed. Subject to BioGift’s review.

When a loved one passes away in the hospital, the staff will care for them while you contact a funeral home. You do not need every detail ready to start. Call our care team and let us know which hospital is involved. We coordinate the release and transfer with the hospital staff and explain what comes next, so your family can step away and be together.
To move forward, we need an authorization from the legal next of kin and some basic details about your loved one. Other forms, such as permits and filings, are prepared by our team as part of the process. You will not have to chase down documents alone. We explain each form in plain language and tell you exactly what to sign and when.
Distance does not have to keep family out of these decisions. We can share information by phone and email, and paperwork can often be signed electronically. One local relative can act as the main contact while others stay involved from afar. Our care team keeps everyone updated so loved ones across the country feel included, even when they cannot be here in person.
Absolutely. The online option is there for families who want it, but a phone call works just as well. Many people prefer to hear a calm voice first and ask a few questions before anything is decided. Call our care team and we will listen, explain your choices, and help you begin at a pace that feels right. Nothing is locked in by calling.
Families in Boyle Heights sometimes lose a loved one while traveling or living in another county. We can still help. Our team coordinates transfer from the place of passing back to our care, working with local authorities and facilities as needed. Tell us where your loved one is, and we will explain how the arrangements can be handled across county lines.
Direct Cremation starts at $1,195 and includes transfer from anywhere in Boyle Heights, permits, the cremation, and the return of the cremated remains. A Catholic Mass or service before cremation, or a Direct Burial from $3,195, will cost more. We list certificate copies and merchandise separately, in English or Spanish, so the total is always clear to your family.
