About Poway-Bernardo Mortuary
Welcome to Poway-Bernardo Mortuary, a place where care, dignity, and respect are at the heart of what we do. For years, we have been a pillar in the community, offering a serene and compassionate environment for families to commemorate their loved ones.
Our History
“The mortuary mission is to respect the loved one's wishes and to provide compassion, comfort, guidance, education and understanding to family and friends.”
Poway-Bernardo Mortuary has been serving the community since it's inception in 1967. The Comer Family acquired this funeral home from the original owner in 1977 and continues to own and operate it today.
Our Funeral Home located in Poway, California, is proud to serve families with compassion and dignity. Our staff members are experts in the funeral industry and are able to handle any type of situation that is presented.
The distinction between a privately owned mortuary vs. a funeral home owned by a corporate firm is the extra attention that is given to honor the wishes of the person who has been entrusted into their care. There is no limit on the amount of time spent honoring the deceased at Poway-Bernardo Mortuary. All of our funeral directors and staff have been hand-selected based on their qualifications and experience. All of our staff members have the ability to lend their support and guidance to all family and friends at a very critical time.
The services offered by Poway-Bernardo Mortuary include cremation, burial, celebrations of life, memorial services, visitation & viewings, chapel services or services at place of worship, graveside services, transfer of deceased to any destination within the U.S. or foreign country, scattering and burials at sea. We have a great amount of pride in honoring those who have served in the armed forces. Many benefits are available to veterans including cemetery arrangements.
Online Memorial
We can create a customized, online memorial for you to share with family and friends. The memorial includes the obituary and any photographs you wish to provide. It will serve as a place for visitors to post condolences, share memories, upload photos, and light candles in honor of your loved one.
Tribute Video
We can produce a personal tribute video that can be played at the service and online. Simply provide us with the photographs you want to include and we will transform them into a video celebration of your treasured memories. DVDs or USB thumb drives of the video are also available.
Ordering Flowers
We make it easy for friends and family to send flowers to your home or service to honor your loved one. We have partnered with local florists to offer the convenience of ordering directly from the obituary page of our website. You can also use this feature to select the flowers you would like at the service. This is a secure way to choose beautiful arrangements from the privacy and comfort of your home.
Sharing Service Details
We reduce the stress of contacting those who need the details of the service for your loved one. We post the dates and times of the service as part of the online memorial on our website. You can then either share the memorial on your Facebook or X page or copy the details from the site into an email or text. Both options give you the peace of mind that you have provided the necessary information to those who need it.
