About Eternal Hills Mortuary & Crematory at Eternal Hills Memorial Park
Eternal Hills Mortuary & Crematory is owned by Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral chain in the United States, operating here under the Dignity Memorial brand. They offer burial and cremation services, and several reviewers specifically mention support for military families, with staff noted for helping veterans navigate paperwork and benefits. On Google, the funeral home holds a 4.4-star rating across 248 reviews, with many families praising the attentiveness and compassion of individual staff members during difficult arrangements. However, a notable pattern in critical reviews raises two concerns worth considering: some families report feeling pressured into purchasing additional plots or services during vulnerable moments, and at least one long-term customer describes serious issues with the upkeep of a pre-purchased burial site, suggesting that commitments made at the time of sale may not always be honored over time — something families considering pre-planning should carefully discuss before signing any contract.

★★★★★Joan Sebastian
a month agoEternal Hills Mortuary and Crematory cared for me with compassion as I dealt with the sudden death of my partner. They assisted me with the decisions I needed to make. I am very grateful for their care and understanding at this difficult time.

5 months ago. I answered an invitation to the VA in Oceanside for military burial info and there was Dignity with Emily giving all info needed. She came to our house 3 times to help with all the paperwork and contract which we signed on the spot! Dignity and Emily are the absolute BEST at customer service,! She…

5 months agoBuyer Beware!!! My parents purchased an estate site over 20 years ago (~2002 for 6 figures) at Eternal Hills in Oceanside. At the time of purchase, we were promised that the site would forever be properly maintained and cared for. Sadly, this was a lie. Within just a few years, we were already bac…

Instead of making it about my loved one it was a way for them to sale more plots and p…
