About Us
To Our San Diego Community,
After working in the funeral industry for almost a decade, we saw a need for a more streamlined and stress-free way for families to access and provide paperwork and payments when they lose someone. Losing a loved one is already tough, and dealing with complicated paperwork and confusing prices can make it even harder.
So, we decided to make things simpler. Our packages now include vital documents and fees such as one death certificate, one permit, and the fee from the California Department of Consumer Affairs. We pride ourselves in transparent pricing—the price we show you is the final cost.*
To make things even easier for you and your family, we offer fully online arrangement options. You can click on the "Start Arrangements" button to provide the necessary information for the death certificate and permit. You can also choose an urn and pay online—this option is great for those who are unable or simply don't want to make an in-person appointment, or for those who are out of state. You also have the option to call us or make an in-person appointment.
We understand that each family's needs are different, and we're committed to working with you in whatever way best fits your needs during this difficult time.
With care and compassion,
Omer and Savannah
The Orchid Cremations Family

“After desperately calling several mortuaries, Savannah picked up and immediately became an instrumental part of giving me peace for the first time since her death. She guided me, supported me, and made sure every detail was delivered. Her compassion and knowledge was beyond anyone else I encountered. She gave our family the closure we needed, and made sure through every detail that my sister's last moments were honored. Soon after my sister died, my mom passed away of a broken heart. Savannah once again guided me,cared for my mother and made sure her last moments were honored. Moms cause of death finally came out, and after over a year of checking for her death to be ruled, Savannah made sure death certificates were ordered immediately. I will forever be grateful for Savannah's kindness, grace, support, and dedication. I can't express in words how much her support has meant to me. I needed her in those difficult first moments and thank goodness she was there! She is extraordinary and has been such an incredible gift to our family.”
“I just wanted to say how pleased I am with the level of service provided by Savannah. My Father-in-Law passed away suddenly while visiting us from the Bay Area. It was quite a shock for my wife and I, but Savannah did an excellent job helping us through the process. Many thanks.”
“Dear Savannah, our family greatly appreciates all of your help and guidance you've given us.”
“Thank you so much Savannah! You have meant the world to my family!! We are forever grateful to you!! All my love.”
“Thank you so much, Savannah! You have been so helpful and kind throughout this process! <3”
“Thank you for all the love and support.”
“Dear Savannah, you made all the difference. Thank you for all you did to help our mother transition from her earthly life to her heavenly journey.”
“Dear Savannah, on behalf of the family I wanted to say thank you! We appreciate the care you took with our mom/nana, as well as the care and patience you had with us, her family. You are an amazing person, and we appreciated how you treated us, especially in such a difficult and painful time in our lives.”
“Savannah thank you very much for everything you did for us for mom’s funeral, we appreciate all your support and attention to details. We couldn't have asked for anything else. You did wonderful.”
“Savannah, thank you so much for your help with my mom.”
“Just wanted to let you know how much you're appreciated. We were able to say goodbye because of your compassion! Thank you.”

Cremation
Cremation is the conventional method, and most cost effective choice. It's time-honored and many families prefer it for its familiarity, simplicity, and affordability.
Parting Stones
Also known as solidified remains, are a complete alternative to cremated remains that allow you to live comfortably with your departed. The solidification process compresses conventional cremated remains into a beautiful collection of 40-80+ "stones" that you can hold, share, scatter, and travel with.
Water Cremation
Also known as Aquamation or alkaline hydrolysis, is considered to be a more eco-friendly option, uses water and an alkaline solution to gently break down the body over several hours. This process uses less energy and produces no emissions, making it a greener alternative. The end result is similar to flame cremation, a fine, ash-like substance is returned to the family.
