Coastal Funeral Center has been amazing in every way in recently helping us in the passing of our dad. They have also helped us in the past with the passing of our sister and our mom. Coastal offers everything you need for planning a memorable service for your loved ones. The staff goes above and beyond any expectations you have and also have ideas you may not think of to enhance the experience of planning a service. Coastal is a beautiful place. Anyone would be beyond proud to have friends and family come to Coastal and share memories at the beautiful chapel. Special thanks to Zia and Elizabeth

My Mom had chosen Coast Funeral Center when it was Gambys. We were a little concerned with how the prepaid from a while ago would be accepted. Coastal was very zia accepting. Very helpful when it came time for my Mom to be transferred to Coastal. They made the sad occasion a bit easier by being so helpful, by making the whole affair easier. Zia was great. Elizabeth & Zia made follow up contacts after all was done. I would consider Coastal Funeral Center a good place to go when necessary.

Coastal Funeral Center could have not been more of a Blessing than what they did in helping my family at such a sensitive time, losing my Precious Mother so suddenly. They truly went above and beyond my family's expectations. They helped us, guided us, encouraged us and we're very supportive of all of our requests. Thank you all from the Ruiz/Areyan Family in helping us all get through this very hard time. Thank you for continuing to check up on us all. We Appreciate you
