    Such a lovely touch! Melissa setup this table with copies of my grandfather's published books.

    Melissa did a fantastic job coordinating my grandfather's celebration of life! She was very communicative throughout the process and did a beautiful job with the presentation! She paid attention to the small details, too, and went above and beyond. We are from up north and trying to plan this service from over 400 miles away was proving to be a really difficult task. So we put our faith in Melissa and she exceeded our expectations!

    Melissa was great to work with and did a fantastic job at organizing and executing my late husband's celebration of life. She was very thorough in getting to know my and my husband's wishes, likes, and expectations. Once all the particulars of the event were chosen (venue, food, flowers, ect.), she took everything from there; coordinating with all the different aspects, setting things up at the venue, and taking everything down after the celebration. It was such a huge load off my mind to be able to just focus on being present for the celebration and mingling with the attendees. Since she'd done such a great job with a friend's celebration (see Mike Y.'s review), I had complete faith in her and her capabilities and didn't feel the need to check in at all with her in the days before the event. Since I hadn't expected the event to be terribly elaborate, I'd wondered if hiring a coordinator would be extraneous; however, I feel it was money well spent. With her expertise in this relatively niche type of thing, she was able to guide me in making decisions and offered advice on what might or might not work. She also put me in touch with a wonderful non-denominational master of ceremony who also did a fantastic job at helping my vision for my husband's celebration become a reality.

    Hard to truly say how meaningful Melissa was during a most difficult time. The combination of her care and compassion for my family, along with her professional ability to create a truly memorable experience was beyond exceptional. She told me on our first telephone call that her goal was to 'Handle 80%' leaving only key decisions, and activities to the family. I would say that was closer to 95%. She handled everything, including surprises, more guests than anticipated, and last-minute changes without a flinch. We set a budget, and she kept the budget, providing updates, and options along the way. The fee for her services was worth every dime. It's difficult to write this review, as she fills a difficult space. But in a situation of extreme pressure, she removed the stress and anxiety so my family and I could focus on grief and closure.

    My family is so grateful to have found Melissa for the planning of my father's Celebration of Life, something we had tried to arrange from other geographies, making the planning especially challenging. Though we pulled her into the planning a bit late after changing venues, she seamlessly took over, coordinating all the venue, catering and other details. I especially appreciated Melissa's calm demeanor in spite of all the obstacles that came her and our way. Importantly, she connected with us to put together an absolutely beautiful slide show and video remembrance, accompanied by our father's favorite music, and suggested other ways that we could make the day special. We were overwhelmed with emotion when walking into the venue to see how she had pulled everything together, with beautiful photo enlargements, memento tables, floral arrangements and more. It allowed us to be fully present in our grief, joy and sharing with others - everyone remarked at what a beautiful and special Celebration we had put together for our father. We can't recommend Melissa highly enough.

    I am the Sales & Events Manager at The Point Event Venue and had the pleasure to work with Melissa! From the beginning, she was very professional and prepared. She knows how to plan this kind of gathering- she secures the venue for the service & reception, sources your f&b, creates a memory video reel, and prepares an amazing memory table. She thoughtfully designs a beautiful celebration for your loved one. If you are looking for someone you can trust to take care of everything prior and be there the day of to execute a seamless event, hiring Eternally Loved is the way to go!

    A very nice mortuary in Escondido. Everything went as…read moreplanned, and the staff was very caring and professional. I do recommend calling these guys if you're in need of their services. Note that the parking is along the street (two hour limit). I doubt they would ticket you, though. You could also park at the Escondido library.

    Losing my mom was one of the most painful experiences of my life, but the kindness and care we…read morereceived from this mortuary helped carry us through it in a way I'll never forget. From the very beginning, Thomas and Jodi treated us and my mother with gentleness, dignity, and deep respect. Jodi was exactly the person we needed to guide us through the difficult paperwork and the emotional process of choosing the final items for my mom's goodbye. She made it feel manageable, even when it felt like the world was falling apart. Thomas... I don't even have words for how grateful I am for him. He has a gift, he can read a room with so much grace and compassion. On one of the worst days of my life, he made things bearable somehow. He honored my mom as a vessel that carried her spirit, and he was deeply respectful of our traditions. He's a truly special person, and I will never forget his presence during that time. I hope I don't have to return for a long time, but when the time does come again, I wouldn't trust anyone else with the sacred task of preparing a loved one for the next world. This place and its people are a blessing during such a difficult time.
