About The Gardena Community
Gardena is a city in the South Bay region of Los Angeles County, incorporated in 1930 from the combined rural communities of Moneta and Strawberry Park. Long before its modern skyline, the area was known as a lush "garden spot," fed by the waters of the Dominguez Slough and famous as a center of Southern California's berry-growing industry, a heritage still celebrated locally through its Strawberry Festival history. Gardena is also home to one of the South Bay's most vibrant Japanese American communities, with longtime family-run shops and markets that reflect its deep cultural roots.
Gardena's location has earned it the nickname "Freeway City," since it sits bordered by the Artesia Freeway (SR-91), the Harbor Freeway (I-110), and the San Diego Freeway (I-405), making it one of the most accessible communities in the South Bay. That same freeway access makes it a short, easy drive to and from our funeral home in Long Beach.
