I made arrangements through Legacy for my wife in 2022 ( burial at National Cemetery ) due to me being a veteran. I then prepaid for arrangements for myself at Legacy to cover final expenses when my time comes. In 2025 my stepson passed. I called Legacy in the middle of the night and they provided transport and initiated the paperwork for the requested cremation.
I highly recommend " LEGACY." Good communication, respectful employees, and smooth on-line paperwork. Also, competitive pricing.

I would highly recommend Legacy Funeral and Cremation Care in La Mesa CA for all your Funeral needs. I used them in 2018 for my father and had no hesitancy to work with them again in 2025 for my mother. Both times their services were exceptional, well priced and friendly at a time when you need no additional stress.
