San Diego Area Customer Testimonials
“I wanted to let you know how very grateful my mother and I have been for your help in managing my father’s cremation and filing for death certificates. When I first called Opal, I was in a complete state of confusion and overwhelm, and at each stage, when I would have had absolutely no idea how to proceed, you helped with calmness, kindness, understanding, and sympathy. I can’t tell you how vital your support throughout this process has been, and how much it has meant that I could reach out to you for advice and help at every step along the way.”
Michael – San Diego, CA
“Just wanted to say thank you for making my mom’s cremation process so simple and affordable. We went ahead with the planned ceremony at sunset at the beach that afternoon and then went back the following weekend to sprinkle a few of her ashes there.”
Karen B – San Diego, CA
“The team at Opal Cremation are wonderful, thoughtful and extremely professional. They took care of a stressful and scary family event and provided a kind and caring service. Their support staff walked us through the whole process, helped us with all of the paperwork and took the time to explain what would happen at each step of the way. I cannot say enough about the Opal team except that I highly recommend them. Thank you again.”
