I can't recommend them enough ! Jen was wonderful , helpful, patient and informative. She never seemed annoyed no matter how many times we called with questions . We used their chapel area for my fathers viewing and it went better than planned . They let us set up beforehand , were there if we needed help , but gave us our space as well . The chapel location had plenty of parking , bathrooms , and quite a bit of space for everything and everyone . They are also helping us set up a military honors funeral which takes a lot of the guesswork out of what we need to do . If I could give them 10 stars I would ! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this place ! Don't hesitate if you are looking for services , call them and you will not be disappointed!

There aren't any hidden or additional fees that surprise you when it comes time to make payment. I highly recommend them to help anyone through one of the most difficult and challenging life events.

Rick was super responsive, always provided excellent customer service and ensured my father well taken care of. My dad had to be transported to San Diego for his final farewell, and me being a nervous wreck about all the "what ifs", Rick explained the entire transporting process and never left me doubting or with unanswered questions. He contacted me once my father was in his care and even ensured my father was cared for properly while in the care of the other funeral home that had transported him. The other funeral home that transported my dad to San Diego was good but not nearly as responsive or communicative as Southbay. On the day of the viewing, Rick and his colleague were there providing assistance and support throughout the entire day. I never had to look for them or wonder where they went. They were always there. They took charge when I was too emotional and couldn't, but of course with my permission. Rick assisted me in ensuring everything went smoothly, asked me prior to transitioning the guests to the reception area and just provided impeccable support overall. Unfortunately, this was not my first rodeo in attending or arranging funerals, but I can definitely say it was by far the best support, guidance and best experience ever during these hardest moments. I was able to focus on things that mattered in that moment instead of the headaches of making sure everything ran accordingly. I can't speak highly enough about this place and highly recommend them to everyone. Oh and the prayer cards for my dad were beautiful, I received the image before having them printed ensuring everything looked good and they looked great. My mom was very happy with them and so was I. Long post but I wanted to make sure Southbay had the credit they deserve. I never write reviews unless my experience was really poor or really great and I honestly cannot say anything bad about my experience. Southbay is truly a great choice during these hardest moments and most emotional times.

Thus I was confident from the start that my loved one was going to be treated respectfully and with dignity. If you're reading this review, you're likely facing some challenges, and I feel for you. Regardless, I recommend that you take the time to review Care Center's service listings on their website.

Honestly, we picked them from a random list of mortuaries suggested by our hospice provider. (The "Care Center" name had some appeal.) From the earliest moments of determining scope of service, we felt like we were in good hands. Megan R. was so incredibly lovely and supportive through the whole process, which was new for all of us siblings. When mom passed, the person they sent to take her from her home was courteous, respectful and warm...and ensured our comfort throughout the process (suggesting we leave the room for certain moments, etc). All paperwork was handled remotely through an online system, so it was easy to facilitate signing of documents without having to go anywhere. When it came time to discuss mom's cremation and disposition of ashes, again Megan came through with all the right suggestions. She was expedient in completing death certificate paperwork and final choices for urns. (again, all done through an online system, so we didn't have to stop other things we were dealing with to go anywhere for this part of the process) When mom's death certificates arrived, and I had the chance to visit Care Center in person, I felt like Megan was a caring friend. And when I decided I couldn't handle dealing with shipment of urns to my siblings on my own, she took over and completed that for me (that part wasn't cheap, but worth it for my peace of mind). If you're looking for a caring and dedicated team to help you through one of the hardest parts of life, look no further and call Care Center.
