About

Care Center Cremation & Burial in Allied Gardens is a San Diego funeral home at 7403 Princess View Drive East, Suite E, within the 92120 ZIP. The funeral home opened in 2011 under owner Brian Gisotti and has since expanded to a second location in San Marcos, giving it reach across both central and northern San Diego County. A chapel on the premises seats 100 guests for traditional funeral services, memorial gatherings, and celebrations of life, and the staff coordinates church-based service components with congregations such as Mission Trails Church in Allied Gardens when families request a religious ceremony before or after disposition. Service packages span direct cremation, full-service cremation with viewing, direct burial, and traditional burial with a preceding memorial, covering the full spectrum of disposition options. The facility also offers alkaline hydrolysis as a water-based cremation alternative, a process that uses heated water and potassium hydroxide to reduce remains without combustion, appealing to families prioritizing lower-emission disposition methods. Veteran funeral services include coordination of military honors, flag presentations, and VA benefit assistance for qualifying service members and their spouses. Pet cremation and memorial services round out the offerings, processing companion animals through a dedicated cremation cycle separate from human remains. Pre-planning resources include an online arrangement portal where families can select service packages, choose urns or caskets from the merchandise catalog, and complete required paperwork before a death occurs. Estate and insurance coordination runs through local firms such as Pappazi Insurance Agency in San Carlos, where agents assist families with life insurance claims and assignment-of-benefits paperwork tied to preneed contracts. The Princess View Drive location sits east of the Interstate 8 and Waring Road interchange, within the Allied Gardens residential corridor that connects to Del Cerro and San Carlos.
