The mortuary emphasizes story-driven memorialization, with staff trained to develop personalized tributes based on hobbies, poetry, or signature personal styles.
Halverson, Stone & Myers Mortuary occupies a distinctive position in Torrance's architectural and community landscape. The facility's 50-foot copper steeple has earned it a place on the local Historic Homes Walk, marking it as one of the area's recognizable landmarks. The business traces its origins to 1954 when Henry Halverson and Albert "Babe" Leavell expanded their San Pedro mortuary operation into Torrance, establishing Halverson-Leavell Mortuary directly across from Stone & Myers Mortuary, which had served the community since 1921. The two operations merged in 1983, consolidating at the Halverson-Leavell location.
As a member of the Dignity Memorial network, the mortuary combines local heritage with national resources. The staff maintains 7-day availability and includes Spanish-speaking team members to serve Torrance's diverse population. Their approach emphasizes customized memorial services built around individual stories—past examples include golf-themed services with personalized balls and beach ceremonies with seashells and sandcastles.
