About Altar Funeral Home, Inc.

Altar Funeral Home is an independently owned funeral home in San Diego, which means families work directly with the owners rather than a regional or national corporate chain. They offer full-service funeral arrangements, and staff members Eddi Vega and Heriberto are mentioned by name in multiple reviews for guiding families through the process with professionalism and compassion. With a 4.5-star rating across 17 Google reviews, the overall feedback is positive, with customers frequently noting that staff were caring and helpful during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. However, there are also reviewer concerns worth noting — one family described feeling disrespected and experiencing poor communication during their mother's arrangements, and another review suggests a pre-planning appointment did not go smoothly, particularly for a Spanish-speaking client — so families may want to ask detailed questions upfront about what to expect from the planning process.

I highly suggest referencing a reputable funeral service directly with "Dignity memorial". I was greatly disappointed on the disrespect they had in the preparations of my dear mother when passing. They were unprofessional and lacked communication and trust. It's very hurtful to entrust someone i…

I called this place because my grandma wanted to prep for her passing, pay for it and get it all taking care of. My grandma lives in San Diego, I'm in Florida. Also she speaks no English, and because of that my nephew flew to San Diego from Portland OR to take her to this appointment. When they came…

You have no idea where to even start. At least that is how I felt when I lost my baby in a car accident. I was 5 m…
