Cremation that honors South Bay traditions
Chula Vista is about 61% Hispanic and home to one of San Diego County's largest Filipino communities, and those roots shape how families say goodbye. Many hold a rosary or novena, a Catholic funeral Mass, or a velorio (wake) before cremation, and Filipino families often observe a nine-day prayer vigil. We coordinate bilingual English-and-Spanish arrangements, work with South Bay parishes, and give families the time and flexibility these customs deserve.

Scattering cremated remains off the South Bay coast
Families who wish to scatter at sea off San Diego may do so under federal rules: the EPA requires scattering at least three nautical miles from shore, prohibits non-biodegradable materials, and asks that you report the scattering through its free online tool within 30 days. Under California law, scattering from bridges and piers or into lakes and reservoirs is not permitted. We can guide your family through both the paperwork and a respectful coastal farewell.
