SAN DIEGO MEMORIAL SOCIETY

Helping people find inexpensive cremation and burial plans since 1958

San Diego Memorial Society is a 501 (c) 4 nonprofit organization incorporated in 1958. We assist our members with obtaining simple, dignified, inexpensive cremation or burial arrangements by working with participating mortuaries to provide services at low pre-established prices.

The Society does not sell insurance or “prepaid burial plans.” It is not a mortuary or a for-profit business. Its orientation is focused on consumer protection, and it is led by a volunteer, unpaid Board of Directors elected by the membership.

The Society makes arrangements regarding inexpensive cremation and burial plans with participating mortuaries to provide basic services at low, fully transparent prices. For a modest one-time nonrefundable lifetime membership fee of $65, you can join now. Membership is open to all.

If you or your loved ones are looking for  inexpensive cremation or  inexpensive burial plans please consider becoming a member. You’ll save money and help others find our services in the future.
