Joseph P. Reardon Funeral Home & Cremation Service

757 East Main Street, Ventura, CA 93001

"I highly recommend the services that Michael Boyko provides with Joseph P. Reardon Funeral Home. I lost my father earlier this year and he came as a recommendation for cremation services. In the critical emotional days following the loss of my father, Michael had provided all of the necessary information I needed to move forward. I otherwise wouldn't have known what to do or how to do it. I can't emphasize enough the incredible help and professionalism that Michael and the entire operation at Joseph P. Reardon provides. It felt as though everything was handled and a huge weight was taken off my shoulders. Thank you for your wonderful care and excellent service!"

"Grief during an illness and after a loved one passes is enough of a psychological weight that the process of having a mortuary orchestrate and provide final services could be quite emotionally draining; it was not. Mike Boyko, at Reardon, was compassionate, attentive, patient, and thorough. Yes, there is pain when one passes, but Reardon left our family with dignity and a feeling that this is exactly what our beloved wife and mother would have wanted."

"I can’t say enough good things about Joseph P. Reardon Funeral Home & Cremation Service in Ventura. Michael Boyko was an absolute lifesaver for our grieving family. He patiently walked us through all the decisions we needed to make, clearly highlighting the pros and cons of each option. Michael's expertise and kindness made a world of difference. Plus, he was incredibly helpful in keeping our costs down, both at the mortuary and the burial site, without sacrificing any of the quality. His support and guidance were exactly what we needed during such a tough time. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need."

"My whole family was totally pleased with and very grateful for our experience with Reardon Funeral Home. Michael was both patient and proactive, and every staff member was likewise competent and caring. The readiness and graciousness with which I was received was just what I needed when the clock was ticking on finding a local venue where we could have a proper casket funeral. Reardon gave us just the angels required at such a time. We ran into a snag at the cemetery during burial, and while I am not sure exactly how things got sorted out, I believe that the strong communication amongst the Reardon staff helped significantly to move things forward. The staff member who accompanied us to the graveside was prepared to do whatever needed to be done to set things right, and they were. Again, just the angels you want and need at such a time. The business end was also very clear -- and how wonderful that such a necessary service right in downtown Ventura is there and is well-run. It was a real gift to be able to hold our reception just a short walk away in the heart of the downtown our family member loved."

"From organizing, detailing, explaining and exhibiting patience- the staff at Reardon is remarkable. Having to deal with an out of state deceased- I wasn’t sure where to turn- and they handled everything- Ann is amazing and I’m forever grateful for her guidance during this time!"
