Unfortunately very beautiful very well respected and I only mean by unfortunately as in no one wants to visit or have anyone but like I said unfortunately my wife passed away and they stepped up due to the fact that the life insurance policy we have purchased in the beginning of the year made reference to legacy which was the legacy located in Georgia so I do respect to them they only would conduct a search and find for a funeral home within our area and do the window dressing it wasn't this legacy located in California San Diego La Mesa so no real love lost they saw through both legacy and legacy in Georgia to follow up on how I felt and how proceedings went I look forward to having them if need be look after my well wishes and I will refer them sincerely Mr Delgado and Gonzalez family of the late Mrs Yolanda Gonzalez Delgado who passed away on August 13th 2024

The funeral director was attentive, compassionate, and took the time to thoroughly explain the cremation process to me and my family. He also offered valuable insight into what to expect during the mass and went above and beyond to ensure we felt supported. He also accommodated our walk-in and made us feel truly valued during this challenging time.
