El Camino Memorial - Sorrento Valley

El Camino Memorial - Sorrento Valley, located at 5600 Carroll Canyon Road in San Diego, is a distinguished funeral home and memorial park that has served families with compassion and excellence for decades. As part of the El Camino Memorial Group and a proud member of the Dignity Memorial® network, this location offers comprehensive funeral, cremation, and cemetery services in a serene setting that reflects the natural beauty of Southern California.

The funeral home and its adjoining memorial park provide a seamless continuum of care, from immediate arrangements to pre-planning and long-term memorialization. El Camino Memorial Park, founded in 1960 by Paul Trousdale, is a master-planned 220-acre cemetery widely regarded as one of the most beautiful in San Diego County. Its meticulously manicured lawns, fountains, monuments, and murals create a dignified atmosphere, and an endowment care fund ensures the property remains pristine for generations. The park is also environmentally responsible, using reclaimed water for irrigation and holding designation as an official green park.

El Camino Memorial - Sorrento Valley specializes in personalized memorial services that honor unique lives. Whether a traditional funeral or a modern celebration of life, the team collaborates with families to incorporate meaningful touches—from photo displays and favorite colors to themed decor, live music, and even a Harley-Davidson® funeral coach, the only specially produced one in Southern California. The funeral home serves people of all cultures and religions, offering services that respect diverse traditions.

Cremation services are available with multiple options, including direct cremation, witness cremation, and full funeral services before or after cremation. The on-site flower shop is open seven days a week to provide floral arrangements for services and memorials.

The cemetery features numerous gardens, including a Veterans Garden with three flags and family estates for military families. Burial options include traditional in-ground burial, aboveground entombment, and cremation memorialization in niches, columbaria, and boulders. Notable figures such as Jonas Salk, Ray and Joan Kroc, Joseph Coors Sr., and singer Patti Page are interred here, yet the park welcomes people from all walks of life.

The newest addition is the Windansea Garden, California’s first cremation garden built on a mausoleum rooftop. Inspired by Windansea Beach in La Jolla, it features sand-colored walkways, wave-shaped niches, and peaceful water features with panoramic views of the Pacific. This garden is part of a larger expansion that includes additional gardens and mausoleum extensions.
