My mother passed away on Mother’s Day 2019 at the hospital. I was in need of a Funeral Home & I had read good reviews about the Trident Society. I was put in contact with Funeral Director Marissa Marquez. She was very helpful & caring explaining things to me & keeping me updated. My mother is a WWII US Navy veteran & she wanted to be buried at sea from a US Navy ship. Marissa took care of that keeping me informed. I would highly recommend the Trident Society to friends. Thank you so much, Marissa. You made a difficult time easier for me and my family.

Trident handled my wife’s passing with care, compassion, and professionalism. Genesis, at the office, guided me through the county prescribed paperwork and made sure I knew when the death certificates and cremains would be available. She made the expenses clear. I am very grateful for her help.

Although I had heard of Trident Society years earlier my only regret is that I did not purchase then. When my wife’s medical condition began to be more evident I stopped procrastinating and signed us up. What a relief to know that we would not be a serious financial concern to our children when our time on earth had ended. From the beginning with the first contact with the operator and sales representative, I could tell these people cared about us and what we wanted. Everything was explained clearly and thoroughly. The paperwork and products came on time and are beautiful. When my wife passed two months after signing up. I was not disappointed by Trident. Marissa Marquez (God bless her) was with me at every step of the way. She answered or anticipated all my concerns or questions. I am a retired fire captain and I served my community for 34 years. I have seen every human condition imaginable and I thought I would be immune from the pain of losing a loved one but, I am not. When I called Marissa she answered and I was relieved one more time. Now that the immediate services for my wife have been completed Marissa still invites me to call her any time. Thank you, Marissa, and thank you Trident Society. My suggestion to anyone, call now and sign up now. You will like the feeling.

I want everyone to know what a caring soul Ed is. He makes an incredibly hard time into a peaceful task. My Mom just passed and Ed did a great job for us. Unfortunately, I’ve had two deaths in the last two years. My husband passed in 2017. Again without Ed by our side, it would have been unbelievably hard. Ed is the best! He cares about your loss from the bottom of his heart. Thanks, Ed for all you do for others in their time of need.

My Mother passed away on April 1st, 2019, and my sister and I worked with Susanna regarding the arrangement of her cremation. She was amazing! Her professionalism, gentle-spirit, and attention to detail made this very difficult process much easier. The entire staff was supportive and sensitive to our needs, and I would highly recommend their services.

My husband and I purchased my Mom’s cremation package (along with ours) in 2014. When she died this July I gave the hospital a copy of her Trident card. The hospital called Trident for me and I received a call from a Trident representative the next day which was Sunday. Because Mom died in Temecula her body was assigned and transported to Palm Desert. I told the rep from Palm Desert that Palm Desert isn’t convenient for us so they kindly transferred all the paperwork to San Diego for us. We went to San Diego and met with Renee Meiferdt, signed all the paperwork, we picked out some additional memento urns and hearts and left there totally satisfied. There was a bit of a hiccup with the death certificate but it was rectified in a couple of days. Renee was in touch with me from start to finish. We received Mom’s remains along with everything else we ordered right on time. So all I can say is my husband and I are totally satisfied with our experience and we are confident when we pass our relatives will have no problems what-so-ever because everything is bought, paid for and in a tidy little package. All I can say to people is don’t wait until your loved one dies to make these arrangements because this is when all the emotions take over and because of all the emotions, nothing goes as planned. I am glad we used Trident because Renee made it easy for us. Thanks, Renee.

The Trident Society and partially Ron Smith made arrangements for my father so easy. He did not try to pressure us into any we did not want. My mother and I were greatly impressed by his professionalism.

Ed worked with me handling my father’s cremation. He was very helpful, pleasant and professional. His communication and follow-through were excellent. I would definitely recommend Trident based on my experience.

From the moment I met with the sales rep to one year later when my mother passed and the young man came to pick up her body from the hospice care facility, the care has been both professional and phenomenal. Thank you to Renee for going through the process of cremation as well as ideas for remembrance gifts for family members. I will continue to recommend this company as long as I am alive.
