Yesterday, my friends and I attended a service and then participated in the Wreaths Across America…read moreat the Miramar National Cemetery, honoring our fallen heroes, as well as active military and veterans. At the close of the ceremony, we joined in placing a wreath at the tombstone of fallen heroes, saying their names out loud and keeping their memories alive. I was a bit more emotional than I thought that I would be. We take our freedom for granted and sometimes forget that many lives were lost in order to protect our nation. It was a moving experience and I'm glad that I was a part of it. I look forward to contributing to this in the years to come. For those who are unable to physically partake in the activity, there are ways to contribute such as monetary donations to supply the wreaths and charter buses that took hundreds of us to the cemetery.

It's a place of honor and reflection that is maintained with so much care and respect. The location is also very convenient right off the freeway, making it easy to visit loved ones regularly. Even though it's close to everything, the cemetery feels calm and serene the moment you enter. Truly a beautiful resting place for our veterans and families.

What a great way to bring community together and for free. They host the event on a lawn(away from plots) and set up a screen, speakers, have food and even do a raffle for some prizes. The employees are really friendly and get into the spirit of the movie they are showing. I am honestly so happy that these events exist because it is really hard to find no cost experiences these days. What a lovely way to bring people together for some wholesome fun and movie watching. Bring chairs, blankets, pillows, snacks, and enjoy a movie at El Camino Memorial Park. Some people might think it is a bit weird to hang out in a cemetery, but I`m so glad these events exist. Come for the movie, stay for the ghosts.

There are truly no words to express how grateful our family is for Funerals Your Way. In one of the…read moremost painful moments of our lives, their team showed us such genuine compassion, kindness, and care. From the very first call, they treated us like family -- listening to our wishes, guiding us with patience, and handling every detail with such tenderness and respect. They helped us create a beautiful farewell that honored our loved one exactly as we had hoped. And even after the service, they continued to be there for us -- assisting with amended death certificates and offering ongoing support when we needed it most. That level of care and dedication is something we'll never forget. Thank you, Funerals Your Way, for walking beside us through our grief and helping us find comfort and peace during such a heartbreaking time. You made an unbearable process feel a little lighter, and for that, we will forever be grateful. Eli you are truly a blessing!! -- Ricardo's Family

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 are truly not enough words to describe the great experience we had with San Diego Headstones…read more After a very frustrating experience with Greenwood Memorial Park & Mortuary, who took six months and ultimately produced a disappointing result with my sister's headstone, we decided to look elsewhere for help. That's when we connected with Manny at San Diego Headstones. In just one month, Manny and his team were able to complete my sister's headstone beautifully. I had created a very detailed and somewhat complex design for my sister's memorial, but Manny never dismissed my ideas. Instead, he took the time to communicate with me throughout the process, explaining what could and could not be done while still working hard to get as close as possible to the vision we had for honoring my sister. What truly sets this company apart is Manny's empathy and genuine care for families who have lost loved ones. After experiencing a lack of compassion and professionalism with Greenwood Memorial Park, it meant so much to work with a company that respects families' wishes and strives to make the process as smooth and meaningful as possible. On top of the outstanding service, their pricing is very reasonable and affordable. Manny even offered us a discount because of the complications we had previously experienced with Greenwood Memorial Park, which was incredibly thoughtful and appreciated. I highly recommend San Diego Headstones to anyone looking for a company that provides a quick turnaround, affordable pricing, and truly professional and compassionate service.

I highly recommend working with him. Thanks so much Manny.

Not knowing where to start we heard of InvoCare thru a friend that had used them before. We didn't know what to except. I must admit the process with InvoCare was painless and easy thanks to the customer service we receive from Andrea Limon and Oscar. We were all very impressed, it really was AMAZING!!! They went above and beyond!!! They REALLY DO care about people, and understand what "we" (the customers) are going thru. For them it's not just another "body", they know that this is one of our loved ones and understand that this is a very hard thing for us to do, and they totally sympathize with their customers. I really hope you won't need their services any time soon. But if you do, I HIGHLY recommend InvoCare. You will get EXCELLENT customer service!!

I used Invocare to pre-arrange services for my father. I dealt with Elena and she was amazing. When…read morethe time came to use their service it was seamless. Elena handled everything from arranging the pick up of my loved one's body to sending the urn to my home. I didn't really like any urns they had so I bought one elsewhere which I sent to their cremation services building and everything was as I had requested. Elena was compassionate, everything was dealt with online and I made arrangements from the comfort of my own home. This was my first time ever planning such arrangements and I was just expecting it to go awry which it did not. Thank you so much for making this process easy on me.
