I have a death certificate for a relative who died on January 1, 1929, at Los Angeles County General Hospital (County/USC). It states that the "body was removed to the Long Beach Crematory on January 3, 1929, by undertaker J. J. Mottell, Inc. for cremation." The death notice in the Long Beach Press-Telegram states that Mottell's Chapel was at Third Street and Alamitos Avenue in Long Beach. On my relative's DC there is no mention of the disposition of the ashes. I would assume that the disposition was completely at the discretion of the surviving party in carrying out the deceased's last wishes. I wonder if there are surviving records for Mottell's, as I would like to find information about my relative's surviving spouse. - Mike Huggins, Irvine, CA -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 12:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Mottell's & Peek Mortuary/Crematory Joe, Thanks for pointing out that I failed to mention the city the crematory was located in. I do have the death certificate. The address for Mottell's and Peek Crematory/Mortuary is not given, but she died at Angelus Hospital in Los Angeles. He usual address was given in Long Beach.
