Family-owned, licensed, and available any hour, day or night. Real people answering the phone. Serving Burbank with local response times and direct coordination with area hospitals.
Burbank sits at the heart of the media capital of the world, home to major studios and a tight-knit residential community. Whether your loved one is being cared for at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center or a residence in one of Burbank's established neighborhoods, our team responds immediately when you call.
Burbank's population is diverse, with strong Armenian American and Latino communities. Our team accommodates a range of cultural and religious traditions, and Spanish and Armenian language support is available on request.
Our team coordinates directly with the following hospitals and medical centers serving Burbank. We have established relationships with case management, social work, and decedent affairs teams — meaning faster release when the time comes.
501 S Buena Vista Street
Burbank's flagship acute care hospital with 24/7 emergency services. We coordinate directly with Providence St. Joseph's care coordination and decedent affairs teams for expedited release.
13652 Cantara Street, Panorama City (nearby)
Serves many Burbank Kaiser members. We coordinate transfers from Panorama City for Burbank families regularly.
1509 Wilson Terrace, Glendale (nearby)
Just across the border in Glendale, Adventist Health Glendale serves many Burbank families. Our staff has established working relationships with their care team.
We regularly work with care facilities, skilled nursing homes, and assisted living communities across Burbank. When a passing occurs, we coordinate directly with facility staff to expedite the process for your family.
The process depends on where the passing takes place. Here's what to do in each situation.
The hospital's care team will pronounce death and notify their decedent affairs team. From there, you'll need to designate a cremation provider — that's when you call us.
During business hours, we typically arrive at Providence St. Joseph within 45-60 minutes. For residences in Burbank, expect our arrival within 2-3 hours.
When death occurs at home and hospice is not involved, an authorized responder needs to pronounce death before we can bring your loved one into care. This is required by California law and is not something a funeral home or cremation provider can bypass.
When hospice is involved, the process is significantly simpler:
Some deaths — particularly sudden or unexplained ones — are reviewed by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner in Boyle Heights. This doesn't mean anything is wrong; it's simply required in certain circumstances.
Our service area covers all of Burbank. If you're calling from any of the neighborhoods below — or anywhere else in Burbank — we come to you.
Working here regularly means we know the neighborhoods, the hospitals, the cemeteries, and how LA County logistics intersect with Burbank specifically. Here's what tends to come up on Burbank calls.
Burbank sits in the eastern San Fernando Valley, bordered by Griffith Park to the south, Glendale to the east, and the 134 and 5 freeways cutting through. Our team covers the Rancho district, Magnolia Park, Burbank Hills, Media District, and Downtown Burbank. The 101 and 5 give us multiple route options for residence calls — rush-hour arrivals here are typically 1–2 hours.
Beyond Providence St. Joseph (501 S Buena Vista), Burbank residents are often admitted to Providence Holy Cross in Mission Hills, Dignity Health Glendale Memorial just over the border, and Kaiser Permanente Panorama City. Media-industry families often come to us from the studio-adjacent assisted-living communities around the Hollywood Way corridor.
Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills sits in Burbank's southwest corner — one of the most well-known cemeteries in the Los Angeles area, with cremation gardens, columbarium niches, and scattering options. Valhalla Memorial Park in North Hollywood is a short drive, with a long aviation and film-industry history. For families choosing scattering, the Pacific is 40 minutes down the 101 to Marina del Rey.
Burbank falls under LA County Coroner jurisdiction (1104 N. Mission Rd., Boyle Heights). From a Burbank residence to the Coroner's Office is about 20 minutes on the 5. For hospice deaths where the attending physician certifies, no Coroner involvement is required.
Real people answering the phone, day or night. We serve all of Burbank with the same care, the same price, and the same guarantees.
