He took care of all of the VA paperwork, was able to get us a service at Miramar on the requested day and time, made sure all of our family ceremony requests with the body were fulfilled, and answered several hundred thousand questions everyone had for him.

It is never an easy thing to deal with the death of a loved one, but they go above and beyond to try and comfort you and make things as easy as possible. Thank you!

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.

From picking up the phone on a Sunday, to walking us through the process, to having the most reasonable costs I found (when making a few calls that day), AFS went above and beyond. They showed compassion, didn't "sell us" - just provided the info we needed and said they'd be there if we needed them. We quickly secured their services, and I cannot recommend them enough.

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. Thank you Joey and Tara!

Joey greeted us and made sure we had what we needed. They had everything ready on time, were very accommodating and the place was immaculate. The sanctuary itself was beautifully decorated, I felt so comfortable, like I was at home. The bathrooms are super clean and smelled really fresh as well. We wanted to serve coffee and some snacks, they had 3 tables ready to go in the back of the room which I decorated and arranged food on. I brought 2 carafes to make coffee in as well as table decorations and some finger foods. It worked out perfectly. Overall, we were all so grateful for everything England Family Mortuary had to offer and the services they provided. They are 3 generations of caring individuals who put a great deal of pride into their work and mortuary. I would use them again in a second. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you offered peace and protection during a very hard time. We felt you were on our side. We're so grateful.

It took me about 5 minutes sitting in my car to get myself together to walk into the door. Once I made it past the front door the staff was amazing.

I am very thankful for their service in our time of need and would recommend them to anyone else that has a loved one that needs arrangements done.
