I highly recommend American Cremation Services.

Not knowing where to start we heard of InvoCare thru a friend that had used them before. We didn't know what to except. I must admit the process with InvoCare was painless and easy thanks to the customer service we receive from Andrea Limon and Oscar. We were all very impressed, it really was AMAZING!!! They went above and beyond!!! They REALLY DO care about people, and understand what "we" (the customers) are going thru. For them it's not just another "body", they know that this is one of our loved ones and understand that this is a very hard thing for us to do, and they totally sympathize with their customers. I really hope you won't need their services any time soon. But if you do, I HIGHLY recommend InvoCare. You will get EXCELLENT customer service!!

My father was on hospice for a short while at home, and died in the early morning hours. The hospice team called Invocare at about 6a.m. and the drivers were at our home by before 9a.m. (rush hour traffic in Los Angeles in the mix)... they were gracious and loving with my father's remains as we all continured to say our goodbyes (even draped his body with an American Flag - as my father was a Veteran). The funeral and internment was handled in the same exact way that we had it set up with the "traditional mortuary" people (for my mother's funeral/internment four years prior). My sister and brother and I planned our "celebration of life" with the help of Elena and it turned out just beautifully. Our family and friends are still talking about how wonderful my dad's celebration of life was that day! My father and mother decided they wanted to be cremated to save on costs as well as just the overalll issue of continued grief over their remains...so... If you or your loved one(s) are planning for cremation over traditional burial, I recommend that you call Elena Vasquez and InvoCare. Not only will you save 50% or more, you will receive the kind of care and support you deserve during a very hectic and sad time. It's never easy to go through losing a loved one, I guarantee Elena and InvoCare will be there to support you. They will also contiue to follow up with grief counseling (their chaplain called me 3 times to "check on me!")... for one year (I think maybe like 15 months?) after your loved one has passed. They just emailed me an ebook that I plan to read - another follow up to see how I was doing on my first father's day without Dad. I love love love InvoCare!

The mortuary also has a chapel and dining area so you can hold services and a reception on site. The whole family/team at Bravo were great and provide an outstanding experience. 10/10 recommend.

We used their cremation services, and every step was handled with professionalism, dignity, and respect. Since my brother-in-law was a veteran, Noah helped us obtain his DD214, guided us through the VA benefits process, and coordinated the military honors and funeral services at Miramar. His knowledge and willingness to help with every detail took a tremendous burden off our family. Their prices were very reasonable, and everything was explained clearly with no pressure or surprises. I truly appreciated Noah's kindness, professionalism, and dedication to helping our family honor my brother-in-law's service.

Hours after my father passed away, I went straight to California Cremation and Burial as my first choice and didn't regret a bit. Jorge was kind, professional and very honest as far as the monetary amount for the services requested. Their price package was very reasonable compared to the other mortuary around the city. He was very straight forward and never offered extra services that we don't need. He was very knowledgeable on the process with regards to the transfer of remains from the US to overseas. He was able to provide a date for my Dad's visitation service that was convenient to all family members. After we talked and agreed on the services we requested, he was up and running taking custody of my dad from the hospital morgue within an hour. He also posted my Dad's obituary in their website that same day. He was in constant contact, giving me updates and needed documents to facilitate acquisition of his death certificate from the county which he obtained a week after my Dad's passing. I was very impressed of how quick that process went through. Regarding the visitation service, Manuel (Service Attendant) did an outstanding job having my Dad ready at the Chapel at the scheduled time. He was very kind and compassionate to all family members and guests who attended. Reverend Jesse Lopez also performed an outstanding job for his part during the service. The chapel, kitchen and dining area were clean and neat. Family members and guests were impressed with the whole facility. The service proceeded smoothly as planned. Overall, On behalf of my family, we are very satisfied, thankful and grateful from the outstanding staff of California Mortuary and Burial for the outstanding services they have provided. I highly recommend them to family and friends if they ever need their services in the future. Respectfully, Arthur D.

Honestly, we picked them from a random list of mortuaries suggested by our hospice provider. (The "Care Center" name had some appeal.) From the earliest moments of determining scope of service, we felt like we were in good hands. Megan R. was so incredibly lovely and supportive through the whole process, which was new for all of us siblings. When mom passed, the person they sent to take her from her home was courteous, respectful and warm...and ensured our comfort throughout the process (suggesting we leave the room for certain moments, etc). All paperwork was handled remotely through an online system, so it was easy to facilitate signing of documents without having to go anywhere. When it came time to discuss mom's cremation and disposition of ashes, again Megan came through with all the right suggestions. She was expedient in completing death certificate paperwork and final choices for urns. (again, all done through an online system, so we didn't have to stop other things we were dealing with to go anywhere for this part of the process) When mom's death certificates arrived, and I had the chance to visit Care Center in person, I felt like Megan was a caring friend. And when I decided I couldn't handle dealing with shipment of urns to my siblings on my own, she took over and completed that for me (that part wasn't cheap, but worth it for my peace of mind). If you're looking for a caring and dedicated team to help you through one of the hardest parts of life, look no further and call Care Center.
