My mother passed away in the middle of the night, and the facility where she was staying needed a funeral home to pick her up within three hours. I called a couple of different places that didn't seem well prepared. From the very first phone call, Camino Del Sol was incredibly understanding, compassionate, and patient. They took the time to answer all of my questions and made a very difficult situation a little easier. Losing a loved one is never easy, but Leticia was such a comfort during the process. She helped me every step of the way and made sure everything was taken care of, allowing me to focus on my family instead of worrying about the details. The facility itself is beautiful and welcoming. I highly recommend Camino Del Sol to anyone looking for a funeral home that truly cares about the families they serve. They also offer preplanning services, which is a wonderful option for anyone wanting to plan ahead. read more

Leticia Gutierrez Ruiz was professional, honest, and most importantly, someone who helped me and my family through the process of losing a family member. My family and I are grateful for Leticia's help. We highly recommend Camino Del Sol Memorial Center and Funeral Home. read more

These people are awful. The owner Otto Shimmel and his assistant Leticia Ruiz are so unproffessional. We had services for my grandmother with them. Leticia was extremly rude to the family. Otto Shimmel made terrible comments about the family (per Leticia) and called Us "ghetto" for picking up the left over coffee cups, water bottles, coffe, and creamer. On the day viewing, before the services started. Leticia said she woul be back and never came back. These people are terrible. Esepcially the owner Otto Shimmel. read more

I would like to take a moment, that is long overdue, to thank Camino Del Sol, Leticia Gutierrez and Otto Schommel for helping me when I had no idea what to do after the passing of my Mom. My wife, Khristine Gomez, reached out to them and they made the process seamless and transparent. I am forever grateful for their compassion and care and all the details needed after the passing of a loved one. Thank you! read more

I attended a funeral in October of a friend. I was blown away at the attention to detail. Althoufh funerals cam be stressful for all those involved. I was amazed at the ease that the person who was working solo, I would like to add. Leticia, did an amazing flawless job. I can not speak highly enough of the compassion and professionalism that was displayed during such a loss. I highly recommend this establishment and Leticia is a class act in a difficult time read more

Back in late March I texted Otto at 7am on a Sunday morning from St John's hospital in Oxnard. I was there with a friend that had passed away and his elderly wife. Within an hour Otto had my friend picked up and helped me and his wife plan a funeral. My friend is in her late eighties and had just lost her partner of 63 years. The kindness and compassion that Otto showed her was beautiful. He made sure her every wish was followed and went above and beyond what I expected from a funeral director. Not only did he help plan the funeral he helped me cut through lots of bureaucratic red tape with the German consulate and helped me get my friend's remains back to Müllheim Germany. Thank you Otto! Ingrid just let me know that Richard is back in his home town and because of you he will be buried in his family plot! I will forever be grateful to you! Thank you for all the extra unplanned work you did. read more

Just recently helped a dear friend of mine arrange her mother's service here, from our first time meeting we were treated like family and communication was on point. During the service the evening staff was amazing, attentive and showed so much compassion. The restrooms were clean and stocked. Thankful and blessed for all the staff at Camino Del Sol all around great experience and would recommend to anyone who has lost a loved one recently. read more

Friendly, knowledgeable, affordable. Leticia made our extremely difficult time much easier with her professional but very personal touch. Thank you to each and every staff member. read more

worst place ever, please find another place. we were told we couldn't see our loved one or not even take pics/videos. that he was already decomposing thats the reason we cant have his casket open. so we wont be able to see him one last time. my beloved cousin drowned but he was found imminently i dont under how would his body be so decomposed for us not to be able to see him. they probably didnt even fix him at all. and the firs time i called to ask info the lady was pretty rude i had lots of questions but she went ahead ando told me the only thing you need to know is..... and went ahead and told me only what she wanted to tell me. If i could i would give this shitty place 0 stars. read more

Save yourself the head ache and do not take a loved ones here for the Burial service. We had a horrible incident, the funeral home failed to get the death certificate for our family member and gave us the run around claiming the doctor never faxed over the proper documents. We called the doctor and turned out they barley had attempted to get the proper signatures the day of, instead of notifying us they continued on with the service only to have us sitting around waiting claiming they had done the proper steps and it was the doctors fault witch was not the case it was completely their fault. We arranged the burial service weeks in advance and they decided to take action the day of. This hole situation caused us to not be able to continue with the burial service and now has to be rescheduled witch sucked due to us having family come out of town and taking time off of work. This place is a nightmare do not take your loved ones here read more

Leticia was absolutely amazing and knew just exactly how we wanted things. She went above and beyond when it came to my mothers services. She was very respectful but also made us feel so relieved because she took care of everything just how we wanted it. The girls that help her were so sweet and welcoming during this very hard time in our lives. From my heart I would refer to Camino Del Sol to any family and friends. Thank you Trish The Haun Family. read more

This is a bittersweet review for me to write. It was due to the loss of one of the most important people in my life, that I came across Camino Del Sol Funeral Home in Oxnard, CA. After my family was informed by the doctors just three weeks ago that my beloved grandfather had only a couple of weeks left, and in the middle of all that pain, I knew that we needed to plan for what was to come. I began calling some of the local funeral homes around town (in Oxnard, where he lived) to obtain information and prepare for the funeral services. I quickly learned how incredibly sad and hurtful it was, that some of these businesses, have forgotten that when you come to them it is usually during a very difficult time and that this process may require a bit more empathy. There was a particular funeral home in town (which I will not even mention by name), where the woman I spoke to was so cold and unsympathetic, that it actually made me upset to think of having them carry out any of the services that would be required. I then made the next call, it was to Camino Del Sol and I immediately noticed the difference. From the moment I began asking questions, the Funeral Home Director, Leticia, was warm, caring, compassionate and patient. She immediately began to provide me with more information than I ever thought of or knew to ask. She guided me step by step on everything from the required pre-planning documentation, to final service arrangements. It made me feel much more at ease and I felt that they would care to treat this entire process with great respect for us and more importantly for my grandfather. Shortly after my grandfather's passing, they came, and handled everything with the same level of respect and care that I received from Leticia during the first phone call. They took care of every detail and made sure that all of our family's wishes were carried out until the very end. We never had to worry or stress about any part of it. Our family will never forget and will forever be grateful to them for providing such a great and beautiful service. Thank you Leticia, Joe, Al and Alma. In Loving Memory of Heriberto Esqueda. read more

Ever you find yourself in the position of making arrangements for a loved one, I highly recommend Camino del Sol. They are conveniently located in a quaint neighborhood in Oxnard, and their facility is both clean and comfortable. Their staff was kind and knowledgeable, and offered to us a variety of options that fit our budget; overall it was very affordable for us. We had a great experience at Camino del Sol, and intend on using their services if ever needed again. read more

In dark times you would expect funeral services be more heart felt in hard times in need. The owner was HORRIBLE and was rude to us. Definitely do not go here they have zero respect for their clients. read more

Don't use them. They have been promising my infant daughter's cremated remains for more than 2 weeks and either don't return calls or promise to call and don't... O took time off of work hoping that I would have her remains before going back based.on their time frame to better cope with the loss and now its time for me to go back..... They were quick to cash the check though!! read more

I have to tell you this place was amazing. They were such a blessing to our family. The price for cremation was well below their competition. Otto helped me with the entire process. Even with their budget package they notified Social Security for us, they contacted and scheduled the amazing Honor Guard, they are contacting and scheduling the Riverside National Cemetery. I can't say enough good things. read more

Please do not give this funeral home your business especially if you only can do business over the phone or via email. Beware!!!

Worst experience in our darkest hour. Received more compassion from a used car salesman. Horrible.

I am almost at lost for words but yet so much to say as to what I witnessed at Camino Del Sol, it was truly heartbreaking and unacceptable! As I was waiting to be helped there was an older man giving a payment on his "homesteaders" account, he had his folder with all of his previous payments (copies of his money orders). The worker looks at me and says "can I help you?" I replied and said after him, I'm in no hurry! The older guy (Mr. Zuniga) waits for his receipt, when the owner Otto comes out & says with a loud stern...RUDE voice, "you're going to come back tomorrow, we can't take this payment!" "My girls called in sick today, you'll have to come back," "that's WHY YOU SHOULD CALL BEFORE COMING!" "Everybody else mails their payments, we're doing YOU A FAVOR by allowing you to make payments here, so YOU need to be understanding to US!". (My thoughts to this were "are you freaking kidding me" this isn't an eye for an eye)! The man replays and says "I come every first of the month". Mind you, Mr. Zuniga is in a motorized wheelchair and has trouble walking. So I had to step in as I could not believe what I was witnessing, I said "well maybe he and the gals have arrangements for him to come in on the first" he says "no I'm the owner, there are no arrangements!" Otto then says "I have to get back to my meeting". Really because had I been the client I would have walked out after hearing that! I looked at the man & said are you sure you want your services here? He says "well Mija I'm almost done paying" I said I don't know but they have NO right speaking to you like this! He says, I know they should be nicer, it's hard for me to get here. I also said in front of the "worker guy" you know it's sad for them to speak to you like this as I'm sure they have a mother, a father, or a loved one who they wouldn't want treated as they just treated you, they should be ashamed of their actions! I left with a mix of emotions...DISGUSTED in their choice of words, SADDENED as this man chose them to handle his services and is treated like less of a human, ANGERED & HEARTBROKEN as they treated him like this because he was alone. We used their services 7 years ago for my Mom, Leticia was so kind, warm and caring person...BUT I WILL NEVER USE THEIR SERVICES AGAIN NOR WILL I RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE! read more
