FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do first when someone dies in San Diego?
Contact a licensed funeral home immediately — they will coordinate transportation and guide you through next steps. If the death occurred at home, call 911 first. Then call Bravo Family Mortuary at 1-833-762-7286. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
How much does cremation cost in San Diego?
At Bravo Family Mortuary, simple cremation starts at $1,695 with no hidden fees. This includes transportation, refrigeration, the cremation process, a temporary urn, and return of remains. Visit our pricing page for a complete, transparent breakdown.
Can I arrange funeral services online?
Yes. Bravo Family Mortuary offers secure online arrangements through our PartingPros platform, available 24/7. You can complete all paperwork, select services, and make payments from the comfort of home. The process takes approximately 15 minutes.
How long does the cremation process take?
The cremation process itself takes approximately 2-3 hours. However, the complete process — including paperwork, permits, and the required waiting period in California — typically takes 7 to 10 business days from the time of passing to the return of remains.
Do you offer aquamation / water cremation?
Yes. Bravo Family Mortuary is one of the few funeral homes in San Diego offering aquamation (also called water cremation or alkaline hydrolysis). This eco-friendly process uses water and produces 90% fewer carbon emissions than flame cremation.
Do you serve Spanish-speaking families?
Sí. Bravo Family Mortuary has bilingual staff members who provide compassionate service in both English and Spanish. Atendemos a familias de habla hispana con el mismo cuidado y dedicación.
What military funeral benefits are available in San Diego?
Veterans may be eligible for burial allowances, plot allowances, a flag, honor guard, and a presidential memorial certificate. Bravo Family Mortuary coordinates with the VA and can arrange services at Fort Rosecrans or Miramar National Cemetery.
How far in advance can I preplan my funeral?
You can preplan at any age. Many people begin in their 50s or 60s, but there is no minimum age. Pre-planning locks in today's prices, ensures your wishes are documented, and relieves your family of difficult decisions during an emotional time.
