About Affordable Mortuary

Affordable Mortuary has been serving Chico since 1993, originally founded as part of the Brusie family's multi-generational operation before being acquired by Foundation Partners Group, a private equity-backed corporate consolidator that now owns all five former Brusie properties in the area. The funeral home specializes in cremation but also offers full burial services, memorial and celebrant services, veterans assistance, and pre-planning, with a practical advantage in that its corporate sibling properties include Chico Cemetery and Glen Oaks Memorial Park, simplifying coordination for families choosing ground burial. No specific pricing figures are publicly available, though reviewers describe costs as reasonable and affordable, and families should request the General Price List directly, as funeral homes are legally required to provide it. On Google, the funeral home holds a 4.5 out of 5 rating across 46 reviews, with recurring praise for compassionate, personally attentive staff — several individual directors are named by name — though one reviewer documented a significant concern: the remains of a deceased Vietnam veteran were difficult to locate, and when finally received, the required burial permit was missing, preventing interment on the scheduled day, which is worth bearing in mind for families planning cemetery burial.
