About Wheeler-Smith Mortuary and Crematory

Wheeler-Smith Mortuary and Crematory is an independently owned funeral home in San Luis Obispo, offering full-service funeral arrangements as well as cremation services, including an on-site crematory. Their direct cremation starts at $1,195, which is a relatively accessible price point for the Central Coast area. With only 14 Google reviews and a 3.5-star rating, there is limited feedback to draw from, and that average suggests some inconsistency in customer experience — families may want to ask specific questions and visit in person before making a decision.

If I could give zero stars, I would. This establishment treated my grieving family members and I horribly.
