I've used American Cremation Services twice now and haven't had any issues at all. They took care of my loved ones end of life matters promptly and without any issues. They also offer the best prices in San Diego. I recommend their services.
They were very busy, And I had all the patience in the world, come to find out they had the same for me, it was perfect for my situation And they shipped my fathers ashes to me from San Diego to Vegas. I found them 5 days before the deadline at the medical examiners office and was scared that I wouldnt make the 30 day deadline to retrieve my fathers ashes, infact I didnt speak to them until right before the weekend, but they handled it And were so patient with me when it came to information they needed, payment (they gave me time to make the payment) and they kept their word, I told them dont rush my main concern is that we actually claim And pick up his body. Packaging was great as well. Thank you again

Call American Cremation Services at +1 619-283-5842 and ask for their General Price List. Under the FTC Funeral Rule, any funeral provider must give you an itemized price list on request and must quote prices over the phone. Line the same items up across providers — the cremation fee, transportation, the basic container, filing the death certificate and certified copies — so you are comparing like with like.

No. This listing was compiled from public sources and has not been claimed by American Cremation Services, so we cannot confirm the details with the business. Treat the prices and contact details on this page as a starting point and confirm them directly.
Can I get quotes from other San Diego providers too?
