About McLeod Mortuary
McLeod Mortuary is a full-service funeral home in Escondido that is owned by Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral home chain in the United States; families who prefer an independently owned business may want to keep that in mind as they compare options. They offer both burial and cremation services, including pre-planning arrangements, and reviews mention staff accommodating out-of-town family scheduling needs and connecting families with livestreaming vendors for remote attendees. Pricing information was not available for this listing, so it is worth calling directly or requesting a General Price List, which funeral homes are legally required to provide upon request. McLeod holds a 4.5-star rating across 40 Google reviews, with customers consistently highlighting compassionate and professional staff by name; one reviewer noted that the seating in the facility was uncomfortable enough to cause them to leave a service early, which may be worth considering for longer gatherings.

2 months agoI have never sat in such uncomfortable chairs! My back was so sore I had to leave before the service was over.
★★★★★Tom Satterlee
3 months agoI appreciate all they did for our family during a difficult time. They are closed on weekends but opened for us to accommodate family from out of town. They were also able to recommend a streaming vendor for us to stream for family that could not make services in person. Thanks to Dallas and Trish!!
