Crippen Mortuary publishes a complete General Price List and Casket Price List. The mortuary emphasizes transparent pricing and positions its direct cremation service as competitively priced against local competitors. Pre-payment options include single payment plans or monthly bank account withdrawals.
Crippen Mortuary operates as a full-service funeral home with emphasis on affordable options and personalized service delivery. The business maintains emergency phone availability 24 hours daily, with in-office appointments Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm by appointment.
Crippen Mortuary traces its origins to 1928, when William and Ethel Crippen established the funeral home at its present location in what is now La Crescenta/Glendale. The business has remained continuously operated at this address for over 97 years, making it the oldest continually operated funeral home in the Crescenta Valley and Santa Clarita Valley areas. The mortuary maintains its status as the only independently owned funeral home in the Santa Clarita Valley, distinguishing itself from corporate competitors through family ownership and operation.
In 2005, Crippen Mortuary assumed operations of Eckerman-Heisman Funeral Service of Burbank, transferring those pre-arranged policies to the La Crescenta facility to ensure continuity for existing policy holders. The business later expanded with an arrangement office in Santa Clarita in November 2007, with that facility receiving remodeling in spring 2019. Throughout its history, the mortuary has emphasized local handling of all arrangements, whether cremation or traditional funeral services.
