Angelo, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You made this entire process beginning in Maryland and ending in California so easy. I also want to thank you because my Mother looked BEAUTIFUL!!! You really made her look JUST LIKE FABULOUS HER!! I appreciated all of your suggestions, assistance, kind words and especially for having my back as the "go to person" for every aspect of my Mother's arrangement details. May every special thing you do for others bring blessings in return to you.

During my grief in the loss of my husband, Angelo could not have been kinder. Bless him. He treated my husband as well as myself with the utmost respect and care. The entire staff; Sonia, Derick & Lena were professional, kind, and helpful throughout the entire funeral process. The loss of my husband has been the hardest and saddest time of my life but the beauty of their service has helped a great deal.

Angelo, thank you so much for EVERYTHING, From arranging the transfer of my Mom, April Fung, from Las Vegas to San Diego and coordinating the viewing, the service at the church as well as burial with Holy Cross Cemetery. You even helped me straighten out the obituary...you provided all the guidance and help I needed with this being my first time doing this and I trusted you.
You, Sonia and Derick were so professional at the Mass and gravesite, I didn't have to worry about a thing. I am also SO GRATEFUL for all of the pictures and video you sent me afterward from Mom's service. I didn't even know you had taken them, you really went above and beyond. I hope good karma comes back to you, you truly deserve it!
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate you!

Anderson Ragsdale took care of my loving wife "Weezie" I could not have been in better hands. Angelo did all he could to make sure the viewing and Mass was perfect. I told him I wanted her in her wedding gown and gave him specific intructions on how I wanted her to look.....when I seen her again she was as beautiful as the day I first met her. He made sure everything was done before he went on vacation so I didn't have any questions and he called me right when he came back to check on me before the service time. Sonia helped me with the insurance and even came to help on the service. Anderson Ragsdale Mortuary, you all made a hard time a bit easier. I will never forget it.

Thank you Anderson Ragsdale for your services for our Son, Darron
Despite the circumstances you made the process easier. Angelo guided us through the funeral arranging and made sure everything was to our liking even down to the flowers and he made our Son look amazing. We couldn't have been happier. The Funeral staff was equally amazing..Derick and Lena saw to our every need on the day of the service. We have used Ragsdale many times and the service has not disappointed us yet.

At a time when our family truly needed support, the people at Anderson-Ragsdale Mortuary were absolutely amazing. I set the bar for customer service high; the A-R team exceeded every one of my expectations. They are kind, efficient, knowledgeable, and caring. They helped us plan for our beloved matriarch’s viewing and services, and saw that every detail was carried out flawlessly. We will always be grateful to have had such an experienced, conscientious team working on our behalf and helping us celebrate the life of our dear Mother Frances Jewel Moten. We highly recommend Anderson-Ragsdale to all families during times of loss.

On behalf of the family of Herbert Charles Travenio, I would like to say a most sincere Thank You for the services of Anderson-Ragsdale Mortuary staff; in particular, Jordan Taylor, Lena White, and Angelo Salvatierra were most professional, encouraging, and helpful throughout the planning and until the final laying to rest of my Uncle Herb. Jordan showed exemplary care and concern during the planning phase and was so professional while serving the family during the services. Lena was also great with assisting and directing the family during the services, as well as sang beautifully during the funeral. Thank you again Jordan, Lena, and Angelo for your professionalism and assistance during our time of grief. We sincerely appreciate each of you for the comfort, kindness, and care you all exuded. Lastly, thank you to our wonderful driver of VIP Ride 4 U Limo service to and from the funeral home. He was very polite, courteous, and aided us in and out of the limo, which was fantastic!

Thank you all again. Blessings for continued success to Anderson-Ragsdale Mortuary, it's staff, and affiliates.

I cannot say "thank you" enough to this mortuary for their high level of professionalism, caring and kindness. The follow through and expert attention to detail that our counselor as well as the entire staff at Anderson-Ragsdale Mortuary gave my family and I while preparing for our loved one's homegoing service was second to none.
A special "thank you" must be given to our counselor, Jordan Taylor, for planning and coordinating our service. Although he ran into several obstacles, Jordan stayed proactive and diligent to make sure we had everything we requested and needed. During this time when my mind was all over the place, Jordan and his team of rock stars kept me focused and made me feel confident that everything would be beautiful....and it was!!! My family and I encourage the community as a whole to not only support, but TRUST the Anderson-Ragsdale Mortuary......they will NOT let you down!!!

Anderson-Ragsdale....We Sincerely Thank you.

Ragsdale Mortuary has provided my family with excellent, professional and caring service for my Mom and most recently they handled the arrangements for my Dad and helped us through the difficult task of laying him to rest. Jordan was empathetic, organized and provided excellent communications every step of the way. He made things seamless between the mortuary, church, cemetery, arranging military honors, limo, flowers, etc. The entire staff was warm and engaged with such finesse and love. I want to especially thank Lena for her beautiful and caring approach in helping me through the service from beginning to end. The services were excellent and my Dad was truly honored. It couldn’t have went better.

To God be the glory.

Mrs. Ragsdale,
It’s been a little over 10 days since we buried my mom, but my enthusiasm and praise for your mortuary has not waned one bit!
My family and friends continue to sing your praises even these 12 days out.
I’m sure you already know that Jordan Taylor and Angelo Salvatierra are the jewels in your crown! I cannot say enough about them both! Their competence, professionalism, thoroughness, kindness and thoughtfulness were off the chart in every little detail.
Under Angelo’s expert tutelage my mother’s suffering was erased. She was so beautiful, we cried…but, with surprise and joy! It lifted the heart of everyone whom saw her! Jordan’s accessibility, professionalism, kindness and attention to detail answered every prayer I sent to God. Ms. Lena White’s kind heart and professionalism, along with the professionalism of the entire funeral cortège rounded out everything beautifully. Let’s not forget about the video team for the livestreaming of the service!! Two cameras!!!
Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts, for lifting something so devastating to a level of flawless execution and beauty. We will never forget you!!

I would like to convey my family's apprecation for the guidance and patience shown to us in the planning of Dorothy Miller's funeral service. Mere words cannot completely address all of the ways in which the mortuary staff was helpful. From the initial call, and the caring and loving treatment Trey and Angelo gave not only to my Mother's remains but also to myself when they came to pick her up at home, to the prompt arrangement meeting with Jordan at the mortuary, his sincerity and his respectful humor made our sad and traumatic situation managable and light. Angelo prepared my Mother for her viewing and it was beyond impressive...she looked so much younger! Jordan even made it possible for my Mother to be reunited and laid to rest alongside my Father in another city. The staff that brought my Mother up to Riverside were equally attentive and compassionate. I cannot thank this team enough for exceeding my sister and I's expectations! The staff handled everthing from beginning to end with the hand of dignity, class and respect.

We sincerely thank the Anderson-Ragsdale Mortuary for their compassionate support in laying our loved one, Mr. Gregory Steven Denby to rest. The family couldn't have had a better experience than that provided by Mr. Jordan Taylor whom coordinated everything perfectly. Mr. Angelo Salvatierra, whom prepared Gregory so well....he looked very natural and truly at rest. The funeral attendants; Mr. Derrick Ragsdale and Ms. Lena White treated everyone with dignity and respect & Mrs. Sonia Coucino expertly took care of the insurance matters. Mrs. Valerie Ragsdale should be very proud of her team! Saying 'Thank you" just is not enough!!

Crump; we want to say, "Thank you" to Mrs. Valerie Ragsdale, Mr. Jordan Taylor, Mr. Angelo Salvatierra, Mr. Trey Archie, Mr. Derrick Ragsdale, Ms. Lena White, and Mrs. Sonia Coucino. Our family was humbled and honored to see our parents cared for in such an extraordinary way. We were not only comforted, encouraged and uplifted..we were given so much more. From our initial call, throughout our grieving process and even now, we still feel the love, as we continue on. The compassion and professionalism shown was outstanding; and we know that Mom and Dad were watching from the Heavens, saying, "Well done, Anderson Ragsdale Mortuary!!"
We want to also thank you on behalf of the community that we live in. To have such an excellent Ministry in our neighborhood is a rare treasure, because of the service you have given us as a family, my husband and I have decided to come in and complete our funeral pre-needs as well. This is how much trust and respect that we have in you all. May God forever bless and keep you, as you minister to the needs of all families during their time of bereavement and beyond. You have been with us every step of the way.

When my Grandmother passed and was shipped back home to San Diego. I was distraught and worried about how my Grandmother would look but Angelo reassured me he would take care of her. On the day of her viewing we were so taken aback at how BEAUTIFUL she looked that it even took away some of the pain of losing her. Angelo did such an amazing job! He was professional and helped us make decisions on our choice of her clothing and appearance which made everything in that moment......Okay.
Thank you for making her beautiful for her Homegoing!!

Wow. The staff here is amazing. I had the privilege of working with Angelo. My Mother unexpectedly passed away and I was many miles away in another state. Angelo was very communicative every step of the way and kept me updated. He had the utmost care when dealing with my mom and walked me through everything regarding the next steps. I highly recommend Anderson Ragsdale.

We were working with this mortuary all the way from Dallas, Texas. Angelo and Kevin kept in contact with us every step of they way until our loved one was safely back home with us here in Teaxs. When dealing with a death miles and miles away all you want to know is that your loved one is being taken care of...and she was. We would recommend any family to trust them.

Thank you to all of the funeral home staff ❤️

Our family lost our Matriarch in November during the pandemic. Kevin personally escorted her back to San Diego from Phoenix as he did with our Father. He was very respectful of our family's loss. He and the staff at Anderson-Ragsdale handled all the services with white glove precision. Lois created an obituary that was beautiful and captured our Mother precisely. Angelo did an impeccable job at making Mom AND Dad look like themselves. Our family was so very pleased with services despite all the government restrictions that were put in place.
Thank you Anderson Ragsdale for handling our family affair's during and at a most difficult time.

I started my Allstate career because the Ragsdale family supported me as a Client. That was 1978. In 2012 my Mom passed in my arms. The kindness and professionalism shown to me by the Anderson Ragsdale funeral home was beyond reproach. In particular; Mr. J B. Johnson went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure our family was comfortable. We'll never forget that feeling. When you desire higher than above average services for your loved ones.....Anderson-Ragsdale Funeral Services!!!

Working with Kevin and the rest of the staff at Anderson-Ragsdale was a pleasure!! Everyone was knowledgeable and knew their stuff which really helped simplify the funeral planning process for my family and I. We held our service at the chapel on Miramar base and the burial at Miramar National Cemetery and it was a breeze being that Kevin was familiar with their process. Everything was done very timely and on top of business being handled properly, the staff was extremely personable; they made us feel like we knew them for years. We had not one problem during the whole process and not one complaint. The only critique I'd make is there are a few things that can be updated, but nothing can take away from the pleasure I had doing business here. I'm very happy that my family and I didn't have to deal with more stress on top of losing a loved one. Rest in power dad.
