She was so nice and genuinely caring about it all. The price was more than reasonable compared to another place we were about to use. We were going to go through another funeral service but they were charging an insane amount for just a basic funeral service but the San Diego memorial society was extremely fair on the price and overall service. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a loved one passing away.

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!

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 !

Throughout the process they were genuinely empathetic and accommodating. I expected professionalism; they went beyond. 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. This will help you to identify your specific needs, understand the associated costs and efficiently work with them.

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.
