Mr. Tuan Nguyen is a compassionate funeral director. From the moment we spoke with him through the completion of my father's funeral, he was there for us and helped us celebrate his life with dignity. The facility was nice and clean. The staff were wonderful and helpful. Their price was unbeatable, and everything was done as promised. I would recommend this funeral home to anyone who does not want the added headache or anxiety. Thank you, Mr. Tuan Nguyen.
My mom passed away a couple of weeks ago. I called Heaven’s Gate Funeral Home right away, and thank God they were able to help us. We live in San Francisco and wanted to bring Mom home to Vietnam, as she wished. Without hesitation, Mr. Nguyen got started right after we hung up at 11:42 p.m. on Thursday. Everyone was kind and professional. My mom was able to come home in only six days. I cannot say how thankful we are. Many thanks to Heaven’s Gate Funeral Home.
Very trustworthy funeral service. We have used Heaven’s Gate Funeral Home for family life celebrations at Westminster Memorial Park, Good Shepherd Cemetery, and Christ Cathedral. I highly recommend this funeral service provider.

How to Travel With or Ship Cremated Remains Overseas
Carrying ashes on a flight or sending them by mail is simpler than shipping a casket, if you choose the right container and bring the right papers.
