As the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, we are proud to spotlight El Camino Memorial Encinitas as our longest-standing member. This recognition is a testament to their unwavering commitment to the community and marks the perfect time to reflect on the crucial role funeral services play in our lives.
Funeral services are much more than rituals and ceremonies; they provide a structured way for families and friends to come together, celebrate the life of the deceased, and find solace in shared memories.
Isabel Velarde is the location manager for El Camino Memorial Encinitas. “I am in charge of not only making sure that my location runs smoothly, but that we are also able to service our families in a unique and respectful way.”
El Camino Memorial Encinitas has been a part of the community since 1936. “As we approach our 100-year anniversary, our focus remains on providing personalized memorial services that resonate with all who attend.”
“We get to know you on a personal level and listen to your stories for inspiration. Whether we plan a traditional religious service or a celebration on a yacht for a boating enthusiast, we have the facilities and creativity to accommodate your guests.”
“Not everyone knows that there are many cremation options. If you are interested in cremation, the funeral home team can explain the process and different options.”
El Camino Memorial also offers pre-planning services, a thoughtful and responsible step that can erase the burden on loved ones during a time of grief. “Pre-planning is important because we all have questions about what happens when someone close to us passes, and the information removes the burden of having to make decisions at a difficult and emotional time.”
“I think it is important to be involved with the Chamber because it helps to put our name out for everyone to know who we are and what we do. Being a longtime business in Encinitas strengthens our ties to the community and gives the reassurance to our community that we are here to stay and serve.”
Perfect day in Encinitas?
“I love to go to the beach or the park, but my perfect day is to go to the local shops with my two kids. We love to shop the many unique stores on Coast Highway 101 where you can find pretty much anything.”
