Cremation in La Jolla, San Diego

Beyond Cremations arranges direct cremation for La Jolla families (ZIP 92037) for $950, all-inclusive. Our licensed office (FD 2547) is at 5425 Oberlin Drive, Suite 116, in Sorrento Valley, just up I-5 from La Jolla, and we answer 24 hours a day at (844) 954-1214.

Three major hospitals, all close to our office

Many La Jolla families spend a loved one’s last days at one of these three hospitals:

• Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, 9888 Genesee Avenue
• Scripps Green Hospital, 10666 North Torrey Pines Road
• Jacobs Medical Center at UC San Diego Health, 9300 Campus Point Drive

Each hospital releases a loved one through its decedent affairs office. Once you tell the nurse you have chosen Beyond Cremations, we call decedent affairs ourselves, complete the release paperwork with them, and bring your loved one into our care. You do not have to drive anywhere or carry any forms.

Retirement and assisted living in La Jolla

We arrange transfers from retirement and assisted living communities throughout La Jolla, including White Sands La Jolla, as well as from private homes with in-home care. If your loved one lives in a community, let the staff know you have chosen Beyond Cremations and we will coordinate with them directly. Beyond Cremations is independent and not affiliated with these communities.

When the death happens at home in La Jolla

Many La Jolla residents choose to spend their final weeks at home with hospice care. If that is your situation, the hospice nurse confirms the death first, then you call us. If there was no hospice involved, call 911 first. Our team comes to the home, whether it is a house in the Village, a condo near the Cove or a home up on Mount Soledad, and treats your family with privacy and care.
