El Monte, California
During our three-years in business as Foothill Funeral & Cremation Services, we have had the pleasure of working with hundreds of people who hail from small towns and large cities across throughout Southern California. But some call us from out of the state, or even out of the country, to ask us to assist with shipping their loved one’s remains or to help them arrange funerals, memorials, cremations and/or burials. Although Foothill Funeral & Cremation is located in the heart of Glendora, California, near the 210 Freeway, we enjoy close ties with several San Gabriel communities. This blog is a tribute one town in particular, the city of El Monte. We salute the people who make the community great. And check back, since we plan to focus on other San Gabriel cities in future posts.
