Seems a bit morbid to write a great review about a mortuary, but everyone here is so kind and helpful and respectful. They go out of their way to accommodate you understanding that you may not be at your best because of the loss of your loved ones. I would definitely recommend going to Goodbody’s. also they have the best Holy Cards at the best prices in San Diego,.

It may seem strange to want to write a review for a mortuary but so many get such a bad reputation. We recently lost my mother after a short hospital stay and we chose Goodbody Mortuary because of my parent’s church, Holy Angels Byzantine Catholic Church. Our experience was the best you could possibly imagine during these circumstances. First, my father wanted all of my siblings and I involved in the decision making process. With 2 brothers and 2 deaf sisters, communication can move a little slowly but we never felt hurried or pressured. The associate, Scott, explained all of our options and we felt no pressure to spend more money than we felt was necessary to honor my mother. Scott was also so respectful of how we wanted our mother to appear during her rosary and funeral mass. He guided us to bring a variety of items for her, including her every day make up and jewelry. We were shown options for prayer card and after the initial order, I was allowed to place a follow up order for more cards. During the rosary and family viewing, the ushers were polite and even friendly and tolerant of the youngest members of our family as they made themselves at home. There were smiles and a few jokes as the ushers seem to fit right in with our guests. During the funeral, the ushers coordinated with me and helped us organize so that all of my mother’s grandchildren could escort the casket into the church. Afterward, the associates were patient and helpful as we had to plan the burial for another day since my father was military. All in all, Goodbody employees were compassionate, considerate, kind, friendly, and personable. I would strongly recommend this quality of care when dealing with one of the hardest moments in your life.

I can’t believe there hasn’t been a review for this place yet! As an active Unilocal viewer but not contributor, I believe it’s time for me to step out of my bubble and finally contribute! I recently lost my newborn daughter(she died several hours after I gave birth to her). I don’t know if it’s because I look young or my husband look gangster(I blame his eyebrows –_-;) but throughout my delivery at Mary Birch Hospital down to the memorial service for my daughter, the ONLYPEOPLE that treated us with respect are the people from Goodbody Mortuary! I could not be happier with the service I’d received from them. To save money, my husband and I decided to cremate our daughter. The folks at Goodbody were more than happy to work with us on a reasonable budget. I cannot thank them enough! Another plus about this place is their crematory is actually at Greenwood Cemetery, which is not far away. My husband and I wanted to bring a Buddhist monk to pray for our daughter during the cremation. Scott, the representative who helped us, was very informative and understanding throughout the whole process. The communication was great!
