About Metropolitan Mortuary

Metropolitan Mortuary is an independently owned funeral home in Riverside, CA, which means families work directly with local ownership rather than a regional or national corporate network. They operate as a full-service provider, meaning they can accommodate both cremation and traditional burial arrangements under one roof. Pricing is notably accessible, with direct cremation starting at $675 and traditional burial starting at $1,575, placing them at the budget-to-mid-range end of the local market. They hold a 4.5-star rating on Google across 29 reviews, which reflects a generally positive customer experience, though the relatively modest number of reviews means there is less feedback to draw broad conclusions from.
