About Beardsley-Mitchell Funeral Home

Beardsley-Mitchell Funeral Home is located in San Diego's Ocean Beach neighborhood and has served that community for many years, though it is worth knowing that it operates as part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral home chain in the country — something families who prefer locally or independently owned businesses may want to consider. The funeral home offers both burial and cremation services, and reviewers note that staff communicate clearly and guide families through paperwork and arrangements with attentiveness. Pricing data was not available for this summary, so families are encouraged to request an itemized General Price List directly, which all funeral homes are legally required to provide upon request. With a 4.6-star rating across 29 Google reviews, customer feedback is consistently positive, with families frequently highlighting the warmth and responsiveness of individual staff members during a difficult time; no notable complaint patterns appear in the available reviews.

I didn’t take any photos because I’m always hesitant to do that in a funeral home. I did love the windows in the main room where the casket laid. The greenery planted on the outside of the funeral home looked stunning when the sunshine came past the windows. The space was nice and cold. I’m not too…

Wonderful compassionate service. We only used Beardsley Mitchell for cremation and official paper work but they are officiant and communicate well with the family. Like to patronize our local businesses and this one has been in our Ocean Beach community for many years.
