I've spent OVER two hours searching for an acquaintance who passed and whose is information is somewhere in this funeral home! Their website offers no adequate search engine, and when I finally found the obituary section, it requires a specific date of passing! Please, less specificity and update your website. The party's name should be sufficient. During a time of bereavement, website difficulties create unnecessary stress.

Typical taking advantage of a terrible situation. They have service for cremation for $945.00, once we arrived to discuss I was not given clear answers and had to say "You are not answering my questions" referring to timeline of actual cremation. I asked to be sure if they would charge extra for a larger gentleman, Ted left the room and came back and said it was an additional charge of $700 plus the $945. I called the other two funeral homes to see if this was normal and did research on line. It was possible for extra charge of maybe $50.00 to $100.00. I decided to go to Perches because

We used San Jose funeral home's services for my mother in law. We choose a direct cremation. The staff was good with communication and there were no surprise fees. Much appreciated!

I would like to thank San Jose Funeral Home for their hospitality and how they they coordinated the entire grievance. Most importantly allowing for My Friends,childhood friends,colleagues in the Music world and more to bring mother what I always gave her on every special event. They are caring, attentive, and always go the extra mile to help the family and friends. I thank you from the bottom of my heart-believe me only I know how thankful I am to San Jose Funeral Home and El Paso, Texas. One day I would be humbled to in your hands.
