When my nephew died unexpectantly, a friend of my sisters recommended Balboa Cremations. I can't express fully how fantastic they all were during this difficult time. They were easy to reach, communicative, and very empathetic. Jennifer took my numerous calls and was very understanding when complications with family took place. I would *highly* recommend.
My brother lived, and died, in La Jolla and I found myself trying to find out what to do from the UK. I was recommended Balboa Cremations by the hospitals department of decedent affairs and I am so glad I acted on that.

They did correct that almost instantly when I noticed, and managed to submit the corrected information to the County Clerk the same day. I wish tha
