CELEBRATING OVER 80 YEARS IN THE SOUTH BAY

Our first location was established in Hermosa Beach in 1927. By the time Foster Day and Glade White joined in a partnership in 1946 there was a second location in Manhattan Beach and in the same year they built a third mortuary at the corner of Torrance Blvd. & Prospect in Redondo Beach. In 1985 a fourth location was added in a merger with the Rice Mortuary in Torrance. In the fall of 2003 we continued our growth, adding McCormick Mortuaries in Redondo Beach, Gardena and Inglewood. We continue to be locally family owned, serving the entire South Bay.
