It’s difficult when a loved one passes on, and that’s why it’s so important to get the help you need when the time comes. The family-owned Spangler Mortuaries has been serving the Peninsula for nearly 90 years, offering end-of-life services with respect and compassion.
They serve all faiths and cultural traditions, providing funerals, celebrations of life, memorials, embalming and cremations. They offer their own chapels and can handle all arrangements with churches and cemeteries, as well as posting obituaries.
The business was established in 1934 in Mountain View by Martin J. Spangler Sr. and his wife, Mary. Martin’s son, Marty Jr., took over the business with his wife, Sue, and it is now owned by their son, Jim Spangler. Jim’s stepson, Kevin Hutchison, is currently helping to run the funeral homes in Mountain View, Los Altos and Sunnyvale, including their own crematory in Sunnyvale.
That local connection is meaningful to families, says Kevin. “What I hear from families is that we seem a little more genuine and honest,” he said. “We’re probably more of a hands-on service. It’s a sensitive time for families, but they meet me and they know where to find me, they know I’m always here for them.”
Kevin and his caring staff will make sure your family understands the funeral planning process so you can make important decisions and receive the support you need every step of the way.
As part of their funeral service offerings they are now able to provide live-streamed recording of services so that far-flung family and friends can take part in the memorials. Hutchison said the service has been eagerly taken up by families who wish to include as many as possible, including those who cannot travel and those who are not comfortable in-person. The services are live-streamed but also recorded so that they can be watched afterward as well.
Hutchison also said they have experience with meeting the timelines and ritual needs of many faiths, and they are proud to offer affordable options for families.
