Artesia Cemetery District invites Hawaiian Gardens residents to open house, outlines district boundaries and pricing
Summary
Antonio Mendoza, general manager of the Artesia Cemetery District, presented maps, pricing and an open-house invitation and said the district is pursuing LAFCO boundary changes to add nearby cities.
Antonio Mendoza, general manager of the Artesia Cemetery District, presented to the Hawaiian Gardens City Council on Aug. 27, describing the district’s service area, pricing differences for residents and nonresidents, and plans to seek boundary changes through LAFCO.
Mendoza said the district serves portions of Artesia, Cerritos, East Lakewood, Hawaiian Gardens, southern Norwalk and the backside of Long Beach near Hawaiian Gardens. He said residents inside the cemetery district pay a lower, resident rate while nonresidents pay roughly 15% more for plots and services in the district.
Mendoza invited the council and community to an open house and said the district will mail an informational flyer to all households in the district after Labor Day. He told the council the cemetery still has about three undeveloped acres and estimated, barring unusual circumstances, those acres could serve the district for “maybe another 100 years.” Mendoza said the district is working with the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to incorporate additional nearby areas, such as the remainder of Lakewood and possibly Bellflower.
Council members thanked Mendoza for the presentation and discussed the scheduled timing for the mailer. Mendoza left printed materials for council review and emphasized the district’s public events and outreach.
