Omega Society

Wonderful place to have your loved one’s viewing/​cremation! Nice warm place, they even put a little make up for my mom without us asking so she looked nice! Even offered to make few little bouquets out of flowers arrangements for us to bring home! Mishon was so great to us! Thank you !

Okay so if anyone happened to read my poor review on Westminster Memorial Park, my review for the Omega Society is quite different.
A friend of mine suggested Omega to me, she had used their services when her daughter passed away, and told me ‘Everyone there is extremely nice and their prices are good, they don’t try to take advantage of you when you’re in a stage of grieving’.
My daughter and I went there and met with Randy Millon; he was extremely nice, considerate and you could tell he wasn’t just working there to make a buck, he actually cares for the customers. I couldn’t of asked for better services than I what received from him and the company. He was patient and explained everything very carefully making sure I understood exactly what the prices were and that there was no ‘hidden costs’ involved at all.
But one of the things that truly stands out for me was that he was so honest! I’d been telling myself for years that when my husband was cremated that I had wanted to witness the cremation and that’s what I had planned to do; Randy gave me the option and told me that it would cost an extra $ 200.00 to witness it. He then proceeded to tell me ‘it’s totally your choice but I just want to share with you that past customers who have witnessed their loved ones cremation have shared with me afterwards that they regretted doing so’ the reason being, the very loud noise of the cremation machine, he said that customers told him they could not get the sound of that machine out of their heads, apparently it’s not a pleasant experience.
Now this kind man didn’t have to tell me this, he could of gotten another $ 200.00 out of me, but because he and the company are so honest and truly care for their bereaved customers, he was putting me first rather than making a quick buck. That is customer service at its finest!
Having a death in the family is hard enough without the feeling of being gouged at a time when you’re most vulnerable and with the Omega Society you don’t have to worry about that.
I truly recommend the Omega Society to anyone who wants excellent customer service and personalized care when going through such a hard time in their lives.
I personally want to thank Randy and the whole company for such outstanding service, honesty and care.

This review is a little late as my Uncle used their services last May. This was such a pleasant experience, I would recommend Omega Society to anyone. They were respectful, discreet and understanding.

My mother contracted a «Preneed Agreement» in another County in 2004. I had a copy and when I moved her back to OC in 2011, I contacted the «Agreement» Mortuary and was assured there would be no problems at her passing.
She passed Sunday and the contracted mortuary made arrangements with a mortuary and I was to contact them. During the phone call, I was notified that I would be required to pay an additional $ 1100 for a simple cremation. I refused and re-​contacted the mortuary where the agreement was signed. They, then found the Omega Society and I was contacted.
I spoke to Janet, Monday morning and was overwhelmed with the compassion and service. I provided the necessary paperwork online and they made arrangements to transfer my mother to their location and provide the cremation services at NO additional cost. I cannot recommend Omega high enough.

After having a terrible experience using trident society, I saw a Unilocal review for omega about someone else who had a bad experience with trident so they switched to omega. We called omega immediately and they were able to get my grandpa’s body from trident and everything went very smoothly. They are so kind and actually care about their customers, definitely recommend using their services!

The Omega Society made the process so easy and painless. The people are very kind. There was no up selling, only facts on the costs. The price for cremation couldn’t be better. Thank you.

Very kind people. They did a great job. Rosie made my father look awesome!
Veronica was helpful and caring. I think my pops would be pleased in how well of a job they did.
Thank you from the Garay family.

Not the best circumstances but this place is great. Very accommodating, compassionate, and the best pricing.

Most affordable, and all around best place to deal with when a loved one has passed. Omega takes away the stress, and helps with the emotional aspect of the death. I have dealt with over 100 places, and this is the best of the best. I personally would ask for Macera Crematory to do the actual cremation over the other crematories that work for them. Chris is just the best at Macera, and I really appreciate Janet over at Omega.

The staff from my experience was very friendly and accommodating. They laid out all of the options that we had available to us, gave us more than enough time to process information, and answered all of our questions. The prices were very reasonable, especially when compared to other similar services. There was no point that I felt they were in it for a profit. I probably would have provided a 4 review because I agree with what some have said regarding the location. Not very warm from the outside. The reason I bumped them up to 5 is because I had a horrendous experience trying to get some old permits updated so we could scatter my grandparents with my mother’s ashes. They endured my grief filled sobbing and screaming when it wasn’t even their error and went out of their way to come up with a solution to fulfill my mother’s final wish. Debra truly was my god send. They totally deserve 5 stars.

Everyone at Omega Society was compassionate, helpful, and they delivered on everything they promised. As other reviewers have noted their prices are very competitive for the great services they provide. Our adviser, Roxanne, clearly explained the entire process to us as we signed the required documents. Everything was very straight forward without any hidden fees. They do a great job making the entire process clear and easy for families during such stressful times. After the paperwork was completed Omega Society handled everything from there and the entire process was immaculate. Best of all, everything is done right there on site. I highly recommend Omega Society.

From the start this place was so helpful. We did not have the funds to pay what most cremation places were charging but I found this company online and so happy we did. They were in our budget and everything was easy and any questions we had they were always available with answers. We had such a great experience with them and would use them again. I would highly recommend them.

I can’t thank Janet de Michaelis and her team at Omega Society enough for their kindness, personal care and tremendous help after my son’s death. At this very difficult time, our options were clearly explained, and Janet went the extra mile to expedite the paper work.
The facility has a welcoming atmosphere rather than a typical funeral home feel. We were actually offered to view the crematory itself, and found it to be bright and clean with art work on the walls.
In addition, this honest, excellent service came at the least expensive price in the area. Hospice had helped us with names of mortuaries, and had mentioned that Omega Society was very reasonably priced. As it turned out they were half the price of the Neptune Society and a third of the price of the standard mortuaries.
Thank you so much Omega Society.

We were referred to Omega Society by the hospice nurse, who told us that they are much more reasonably priced than other services of this nature. I printed out the forms online and filled them out with my mother before she passed. All we had to do was call them when the time came and it was already taken care of. Everyone that we encountered who worked with them were very professional and caring. During this difficult time, of losing my mother to breast cancer, it was such a relief to know that we did not have to worry about the arrangements afterwards, it was affordable, easy and made me feel good to have confidence in their services. We took their referral and used Atlantis Society to charter The White Light to spread mom’s ashes. It was just beautiful and I highly recommend them too. I’m glad we were referred to Omega Society, they are such a blessing in a heartbreaking time.

When my elderly father entered the hospital two weeks ago I did not plan on having to quickly find a way to handle his death and arrangements afterward. After a little research with only one day to spare, I found Omega Society via Unilocal and went off of the many good reviews here. Plus, the cost was very do-​able for my family’s tight budget.
Everyone at Omega was caring and thoughtful, helping me through the paperwork and questions, providing options I never thought of. Mark, Roxanne and the staff were wonderful and I feel confident I made the right choice for my dad. Thank you, Omega!

I used this company on the advice of a neighbor who also recently lost a loved one. I never had to do anything like this before so I didn’t really know what to expect so I just used them.
They have online forms so that helps to prepare for when the time comes and the person on the phone helped me fill it out where the directions were not very clear (by the way, be sure to order at least 4 death certificates and you may need more depending on how many accounts the person had). The cost for the services was very good in my opinion.
My reason for the low rating though is that the place where you pick up the ashes has all the warmth of bus station. And the person that helped me was just as frigid. Just a «Sorry for your loss» would have been nice.
So the bottom line is if you just want a cremation, this is the place. If you want your interaction with the people who were the last ones that cared for your loved one to be more personal, I suggest you go elsewhere.

my father passed away in January 2013. We used the Omega Society & it was the best thing we could have done. The employees were sympathetic, sincere & very helpful. Janet the owner helped us finalize the details for the funeral we had at a cemetery. It was a burial not a cremation. Let me tell you, the casket was beautiful, the catalog doesn’t do justice, the flowers were beautiful, the embalming job was AMAZING! Dad looked great, even the guests were astonished at how good he looked. he looked better than anyone else I have ever seen, (considering the situation.)
Prices here are better than anyone else that we checked with too. Everyone was helpful, courteous, friendly & compassionate. I will refer Janet & Omega Society to everyone. In your time of need they do not try to rip you off or offer substandard services. We are 100% satisfied. Thanks so much Omega Society!
Sincerely,
John Petsas

I have used this company twice in the past 4 years. They were professional and considerate in both instances. The two crematory techs that arrived at midnight were caring and very respectful. I would definitely use them again. They have grown considerably in the past 4 years but I have found the most recent transaction with them the same high quality. They are a company with hands-​on ownership and I’m sure if the poor reviews were read they have been taken care of. I dealt directly with the owner 4 years ago and found her extremely dignified and thoughtful. I continue to recommend them over the other Big Box cremation services. The only issue I have is that they add a percentage on for credit card use.

The absolute worst service imaginable! We paid for the GPS coordinates where our father’s ashes were to be scattered. They left these off and it was like pulling teeth to get this added. Finally, weeks later, they added it then sent it to us on a cheap piece of blue paper with ink bleed across the print. Sloppy! If id known this was the service we were getting, id have dumped them at the beginning

The notion that your final arrangements have to be expensive, filled with guilt and stress are ridiculous. Passing should be a time of remembrance, contemplation and togetherness.
So it refreshing that the support the Omega Society provides is truly there; genuine care for your affairs, and a sincere level of service that will save you money ($$ is for the living) and provide a level of respect and dignity for the departed.
Highly recommended
