Oceanside Mortuary

“After the sudden, unexpected, and traumatic loss of my husband/my daughters' father, we chose Oceanside Mortuary and I'm glad we did. We worked with Kelcey and she could not have been more compassionate, informative, kind, thorough, clear, and helpful. We are especially grateful for the care they took with my husband so that we could have a viewing that felt peaceful. He looked just like he usually did and that was a balm to us. Its clear that Oceanside Mortuary cares about the people they serve and I'd recommend them to anyone needing this kind of service. To anyone who's just lost someone, I'm so sorry - it hurts. You are not alone.”

“Like so many of the other reviews, I have only positive things to say about Oceanside Mortuary and their team of compassionate representatives. As I live in Northern California, when my father passed away I did not know who to select for his mortuary needs and went with another service. My initial interactions with that company’s representatives were so disappointing that I contacted Oceanside Mortuary. Within the first few minutes of our phone conversation, they exhibited such care and professionalism that I asked them to take over my father’s arrangements. When I met in person with Mary a short time later, she walked me through the process, explained options (all of which were very reasonable in price), and did not try to pressure me into selecting one option over another. My father’s service, while brief, brought comfort to my mother and all who attended, and this was due in large part to Mary and her colleagues. Had my interactions with Oceanside Mortuary stopped there, I would have gladly given them five stars. Now, I would double that if I could. Let me explain. Several months after my father’s passing I learned that my mother, as the widow of a veteran, might qualify for additional benefits if we could show one of several conditions had contributed to his death. While he had suffered from the listed conditions, they were not included on his death certificate. Not knowing where to begin, I contacted Mary and explained the situation. She soon took the lead with hospice, the physician who completed the death certificate, the county, and state, and was able to obtain a revised death certificate. She also put me in touch with an expert on veterans benefits who discussed with me my mother’s situation. Mary’s efforts helped my ninety-nine year old mother receive double the military benefits she had been receiving, which will allow her to stay in her current assisted living facility. As Mary worked to get the revised death certificate, she showed the same concern and attention to detail that she did when I first met her. Without any hesitation, I would unequivocally recommend Oceanside Mortuary to anyone who has suffered a loss in their family.”

“Oceanside Mortuary was incredibly compassionate and professional during a very difficult time for our family. Mark, Broy, Kelcey, and Ray were kind, supportive, and attentive to every detail, which truly meant so much to us. We are very grateful for their care and would highly recommend Oceanside Mortuary to anyone in need of thoughtful and respectful service.”
