A tight-knit city with a place in history

Lemon Grove began as 1890s lemon orchards and still celebrates that heritage with the Big Lemon and the replica 1895 Lemon Grove Depot downtown. The city also carries a proud civic legacy: the 1931 Lemon Grove Incident, in which local parents won the first successful school desegregation case in the United States, more than two decades before Brown v. Board of Education. It remains a small, close community of families, and we are honored to serve them just minutes from home.

Scattering ashes near Lemon Grove

California allows cremated remains to be scattered on private land with the owner's written permission, and in designated cemetery scattering gardens. Scattering in lakes, reservoirs, and streams is generally prohibited, so inland East County families should plan accordingly, and a disposition permit naming the location is required first. We handle the permit and walk you through lawful options so the day is simple and worry-free.
