Family-run care since 2010
A human approach to difficult decisions.
Founded by Shari Wolf, Natural Grace is a family-run funeral home serving families throughout Southern California. Natural Grace helps families understand cremation, burial, aquamation, green burial, natural organic reduction coordination, memorial services, and personalized funeral care.
The team begins by listening, explains the available choices in plain language, and helps each family make decisions that reflect the person who died, the people who loved them, and the values they want to carry forward.

Shari Wolf
Shari Wolf founded Natural Grace in 2010 with a clear vision: to create a more thoughtful, transparent, and environmentally conscious approach to funeral care. At a time when families were often met with limited options and unclear pricing, she set out to build something different—an experience rooted in clarity, integrity, and genuine support.
With over 15 years of experience serving families across Southern California, Shari is known for her steady guidance, attention to detail, and deeply personal approach to care. She remains closely involved with the families Natural Grace serves, ensuring that every service reflects the values the company was built on.
