A Community Built on Trust

Tustin, known as the City of the Trees, has changed considerably since 1963. The population has grown, and the cultural and ethnic diversity of Orange County has broadened. Saddleback Chapel has grown with the community. We are non-denominational and serve families of every religion, culture, and tradition. We understand that every family grieves differently, every life is unique, and every service should reflect that.

Generations of Orange County families have trusted Saddleback Chapel during their most difficult moments. That trust is earned one family at a time, through honest communication, professional care, and the kind of attention to detail that only comes from people who care deeply about their work.
