I cannot say enough about our experience with this Mortuary, from the first day we went with my Dad to finalize arrangements to the end of the Memorial service at the Cemetery. We want to thank Nicole and Thomas for being so kind to all of us, they were both so professional and helpful, they stayed after to make sure my Mom was buried and taken care of. We appreciate all you both did!

Cynthia Pyle

"I have used the services at this mortuary 3 times. The director is a awesome person, caring about each individual person. I live in Washington State, my parents never had wills. etc. My dad was not able to drive after my moms death. He went to his home and worked with my by phone to do all things necessary. I was not able to travel due to major back surgery. He kept me informed of everything. Taking my mom and dad's ashes personally to gravesite making sure they were both buried with my brother. Also at my request saying a prayer. I can't say enough about him. Thank you isn't enough. The director went over and beyond to help me with my mother when she passed in Jan. 2013 I live out of state parents had no will etc. he helped do all with both parents. Dad died Sept 2013. his real understanding of what a person is through and also not knowing anyone in CA being a support person."

Sue Ellen Bridgman

"Caring, personable, attentive, detailed (remembered things we'd need, & brought up all important details we'd need to decide, address) Efficient but not hurried. Didn't feel weird being in a mortuary, but comfortable. Professional. Didn't expect them to coordinate the other services that was very valuable, so we had only 1 contact the day of funeral. Experience was problem free, nice staff. Took care of extra things so we didn't have to: extra copies of death cert., florist and newspaper and church and graveyard once we'd talked with each one."

The mortuary staff was familiar with our tribal customs and traditions and worked seamlessly with our tribal people in charge of the burial. They have handled my Grandfather, my Grandmother, my Mother and my Father. They treated our family like VIP's. Very professional. They took the stress away by handling all the details."

Alhiser-Comer Mortuary, Thank you for the recent donation of pajamas from Alhiser-Comer Mortuary to Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego. Your generosity and compassion will touch the lives of the children and families in our care. Rady Children's Hospital -San Diego, the largest children's hospital in California, is a 475-bed pediactric-care facility providing the largest source of comprehensive pediatric medical services in San Diego, Southern Riverside and Imperial counties. Last year Rady Children's cared for more than 155,000 children in our community. When kids are seriously sick or injured, parents don't have time to collect personal items or clothing before they head to the hospital. Having a clean pair of pajamas helps to brighten the day and make out young patients more comfortable during their stay. On behalf of all of us at Rady Children's , thank you for your thoughtfulness. We are truly grateful for your donation. Sincerely, Carol D. Damon-Scherer Interim Senior Vice President and Executive Director

Lillian Jones - San Diego

"Perhaps others can speak freely when its time to depart this place called earth-etc. Death to me is so unknown. My experience at Alhiser, who was handling the demise of a very special man in my life, left me calm and comfortable; as every entity was handled-leaving me with my memories, which I treasure. If Alhiser were not a funeral establishment I would have asked for business cards to pass out to friends and neighbors. "
