About San Diego Cremation Service

San Diego Cremation Service is an independently owned cremation provider serving the San Diego area, which means families are typically working directly with the owners rather than a large corporate operation. They offer cremation and burial services, and notably provide online pre-need arrangements, allowing families to plan and purchase services in advance at their own pace. With only 5 Google reviews, there is limited data to draw broad conclusions about consistency, though the existing reviews carry a 4.2-star average. Customers repeatedly mention two staff members by name — Alma and Ken — praising their responsiveness, compassion, and ability to make an already difficult process feel manageable.

When my loved one was transported from nursing home to their business, they did not explain the daily holding Fees and furthermore did not explain the release fees associated with having another mortuary handle my loved one. Outrageous Fees! Felt no compassion from the business. Oh and the internati…

Alma and Ken are the most caring and kind people. They are also incredibly responsive and professional. They went above and beyond for our family as we mourned the loss of our brother. We knew he was in good hands. Our family will always remember them.
