My grandfather passed late last year at CHOMP, from the moment they brought him to the funeral home we were updated every bit of the way. He looked very peaceful in the coffin, at our meeting to go over the service we were asked if we had any items we wanted to bring as "talking points" to the service for guests, were asked about his legacy, and they even let us bring some of his personal items in the days before to set up at the service and it really helped keep things lighthearted. The rest of the funeral home staff was very helpful throughout this whole process. We cannot thank Mission

My fiance's grandfather passed away and this mortuary was THE WORST mortuary any of us have ever experienced. Here are all my reasons for giving this place a 1 star.
1) This was an open casket. The family was unable to review his body until an hour prior to the rosary per mortuary instructions. His neck was placed far back, making him look very uncomfortable, his nose looked broken, and his hands were placed far below his torso. When we informed the mortuary workers that he looked uncomfortable, they essentially said that it was too late for changes. Even guests made comments to the family

Not the place you really want to hang out but when the staff is top notch, knowledgeable and caring it makes the tough times easier. Michael was excellent in all that he did for us and put us at ease. He is highly skilled in his profession. We went back a week or so later and met with Linda for paperwork, who is on par with Michael, extremely skilled in her work and comforting demeanor. I have never shopped mortuaries before and hope to not need one for a long time but if I do Mission will be the place. Thank you for making it go smooth and easy and done right.

Mission Mortuary provides vital help during extremely tough times as well as emotional situations. The staff are compassionate and understanding of the difficulties we face preparing for our Loved ones final arrangements.
Everyone I met and spoke with here at Mission Mortuary were kind and went beyond the scope of just providing funeral services. They helped me cope with emotional decisions I needed to face and made the process easier on me. I'm so thankful for this wonderful funeral home and it's staff.

I am still saying this, my wife's family had a loved one pass away. Her grandmother had paid for burial services so that her family wouldn't have be responsible for her arrangements. Mission did an old school shake down for more money. Regardless of what they post on my review, the family two days before the funeral moved her arrangements to Bermudez who not only took the original burial services but actually showed us how the money was still there and covered the services. So if you want to be disappointed by a company who will try to shake you down for more money at a time when your

After my mother passed away on January 12, 2020, everyone at Mission Mortuary was so sympathetic, kind, patient and helpful in every way.
The on site chapel was lovely! Her service was beautiful!
They, Wesley, Dennis, and Elizabeth continue to offer their help in any way possible.
My father and grandmother are also buried at Mission Mortuary. It is a beautiful resting place for our loved ones!

Mission Mortuary is terrible! My grandmother passed just a couple weeks ago & years prior she had set up with them what she wanted & paid for everything. Well when she passed they did not want to accept what she had paid into. They wanted more money. They totally stressed my mother out at an already terrible time. They did not try to help at all. They just threw up their hands & demanded more money when everything was already set up... it was ridiculous! They were unprofessional, not compassionate at all... Do not go with them!! We ended up going with another mortuary in town, that

WORST customer service I have ever had in my life from Dennis to Paul the manager. The employees have lack of respect, organization, responsibility, and communication. No work ethics and no integrity. The place is just a total mess and I'm highly disappointed. When my dad past away I wanted to bury him the next day so he can RIP. My dad past away on Friday and thanks to mission memorial we couldn't bury him until Wednesday. They kept delaying his service by giving us lame excuses. We got charged 5000 for service idk why since me and my two brothers provided everything. We washed his body even buried

We lost our 19 month old son in Feb. 2019. My family and I had previously used Mission Mortuary's services a couple years ago for my Father in Law's passing and it was such a different experience this time around with the new team in place. Paul & Dennis were amazing. They were just amazing and sympathetic, and they both communicated both in a professional way and also a human way. It's hard losing any loved one but because our son was more at the beginning of his life there weren't a lot of policies/pricing set for babies. But they worked with us every step of the way and

Our arranger, Hayley, was amazing! Losing a loved one, especially a parent who died way too soon is one of the toughest things ever. Hayley made it so that we did not have to stress about many details we were worried about. My dad was a veteran who wanted to be placed in the Veteran Cemetery in Ford Ord. I know working with the VA can sometimes be a long and complicated process. But all I had to do was show Hayley my dad's discharge paperwork and she took care of all the other details with the VA. I liked how I had the option to keep in touch with her via email throughout this process. It

Mission Mortuary was highly professional and caring in handling my uncle's funeral and burial. Bill Lee was amazing at communicating and putting everything together long distance. All details were handled so efficiently, respectfully and I cannot say enough wonderful things about all the help they provided me during a very difficult time!

Mission Mortuary was wonderful for my father's memorial service. They were very kind and considerate when they picked up his body, and talked us through the entire process very patiently, staying until after 7pm at night as we worked out what we needed to do. For the day of the service, we had plenty of time to setup their chapel and reception area. They also allowed us to stay as long as we needed to after the service which meant people could chat and connect.

Have used Mission for three of my relative's funeral needs. The last experience, however, will make me look elsewhere next time. My father passed at the end of January, and the death certificate had to be amended. We had been told by Mission that the state had the paperwork and we were waiting for it to come back. We found out today, almost SEVEN weeks later, that the mortuary never sent in the amended paperwork. No explanation - as a matter of fact, the only way we found out is by calling the state to see what the hold up was on the paperwork. SEVEN weeks and we cannot get his affairs in order

This is my second experience with final arrangements for a loved one through this mortuary. Each time we have received exceptional service, compassion and understanding. The staff are all very professional and patiently take whatever amount of time is necessary to address all concerns/requests. A special thank you to Michael.

This place really overcharges for the services and products. It is a terrible situation for family members, to be forced to make purchases at such inflated prices when there is time restriction and not too many other options available at the last minute. The people who work here do not know the current state regulations and guidelines either. They made numerous errors on the death certificate, which had to be corrected more than once. Instead of apologizing and properly training their staff, they put the blame on the county clerks. Look elsewhere to provide the final services for your loved

My experience with Mission Mortuary was superb! Our mortuary specialist was extremely attentive and personable, ensuring not to push me toward any services I was not apparently interested in. My requirements were that everything would be handled at a minimal cost with no extras, and the specialist was more than happy to oblige. They also provided cell-phone numbers in case I needed to contact them for anything, anytime. They were very flexible with my changing needs and tentative plans for including a Buddhist priest. While we're moving so I can't anticipate needed their services again

It's a strange idea to write a review about a mortuary, but I couldn't stop the idea passing through my mind this past weekend as my family buried my Grandpa. The gentlemen at Mission Mortuary took such good care of my family throughout the difficult process. They were friendly and kind, never trying to upsell or push any product that wasn't needed. They were respectful, but were also able to keep things light-hearted at appropriate moments. They made awesome cookies in the nice lounge area and kept brewing as much coffee as we could drink. I wasn't looking to be impressed
