Bravo Family Mortuary - Family-Owned/MBE/WBE

We used Bravo Family Mortuary in Feb 2025 when my husband's mother passed away. We were somewhat caught off guard with the whirlwind of what was happening, and I happened to see an advertisement for Bravo. I called, and everyone was super caring, sympathetic, friendly, and helpful. They were able to assist with transport of the deceased, coordination of the necessary services, death certificate, social security notification, and permit for the ashes. We found the process to be easy and fairly quick, which is all we could ask for during such a difficult time. We highly recommend them, and we wouldn't hesitate to use their services again.

The Bravo Family Mortuary is a Class Act. My experience there was incredible. They took the fear and anxiety away from having to blindly navigate the process of American post mortem traditions and were a light on its dark path. Their iteration of a modern mortuary feels like an extension of home. Comfortable / Clean / Inviting. They have designed the space and furnishings in a way that isn't oppressive, antiquated or cliché. Its a beautiful place that feels safe and fosters community and helped us elevate our occasion to the true meaning of Celebration Of Life From the onset of my need for answers and guidance, co-owner Steve Olsher made me feel confident in my choice to remit care of my father to them. All of their staff that worked on our services were helpful and always a step ahead. They allowed for communication to be easy and made the entire process smooth, seamless and somehow less scary. I had the fortune of having Penny as our funeral director. I feel lucky and blessed to have worked with her and the team (Kara & Zoe). Its like the 'something thats gteater and unseen' guided me in their direction. Everything in its right place. The level of empathy & compassion we were served exceeded my expectations exponentially. At a time of deep grief when life feels fragile and brief, and I'm floating in a most peculiar way, and the stars look very different today... Having just buried my father yesterday, I truly hope you don’t need to call a funeral home or mortuary any time soon, but when that day comes I hope my review inspires you to look further into taking your business and your loved one to Bravo. Steve, Penny, Kara, Jennifer and all the folks at BFM: from the very bottom of that place where our veins meet, my family thanks you.

Steve, Thank you and your staff for the professionalism demonstrated during the funeral service for my brother in law. We greatly appreciate your assistance throughout our most stressful days. Everything was beautifully organized and the inside of the mortuary was set-up perfect. From the entrance, to the service area, family break-room, everything was so beautiful. Steve and Kara were great to work with. Very caring and helpful. On behalf of our family, we thank you again for everything. It was a good experience during one of the hardest times.

When deciding upon a mortuary for burial preparation of your loved one, look no further than Bravo Family Mortuary. There is an element about Bravo that provides a living illustration of heaven's compassion, kindness, and care. Bravo has the understanding of military families and the particular depth of grief that can accompany handling the sorrow ... and the joy of Christ's promises for eternal life after death. It can be said, "Bravo! Anchors Away, God's Blessings, Fair Winds, and Following Seas."

Bravo Family Mortuary is amazing, I would 10 out of 10 recommend. A very sweet staff,very attentive, and great communication throughout the whole process of burying our sweet father who was a Vietnam veteran.They treated our family with care and compassion and I will always be thankful for their services.

Kara and Blanca helped us plan my father’s chapel service at Bravo and a military service and burial at Fort Rosecrans afterwards. We were planning all of this from out of state but they were very responsive and reassuring. Blanca agreed to help us with queued music and had less than 24 hours to get acquainted with the service program, and she did so perfectly. Thank you, Bravo!

Words cannot fully express the gratitude my family and I feel for Bravo Family Mortuary. During one of the most heartbreaking moments of our lives, they stepped in with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care, making an incredibly difficult situation more bearable. When we encountered unexpected complications with another funeral home, Bravo Family Mortuary took in our loved one at the last minute without hesitation. From the very first interaction, their team showed us nothing but compassion and understanding. They reassured us that everything would be handled with dignity and respect, and they kept that promise every step of the way. They did not sugar coat anything, and was honest with us in what we can and cannot do, but with a reason for why we could not have exactly what we wanted. Looking back, we truly wish Bravo Family Mortuary had been our first choice from the beginning. Their level of care and dedication was unmatched. The staff at Bravo Family Mortuary went above and beyond to ensure that my loved one’s service was as beautiful and meaningful as possible. Every detail was handled with thoughtfulness and precision, from the arrangements to the presentation. They took the time to listen to our wishes, offering guidance and support while ensuring that the service was a true reflection of the life we were honoring. What stood out most was their level of personal care. They didn’t treat us like just another family—they treated us as their own. They provided comfort, patience, and understanding, giving us the space to grieve while making sure everything ran smoothly. The venue was beautifully set up, the coordination was seamless, and every aspect of the service was handled with excellence. Losing a loved one is never easy, but having a funeral home that genuinely cares makes all the difference. Bravo Family Mortuary provided us with not just a service, but a heartfelt experience that we will never forget. If we could do it all over again, we would have chosen them from the very start. If you are looking for a funeral home that treats your loved one with the respect and dignity they deserve while supporting your family with warmth and compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend Bravo Family Mortuary. They are truly exceptional.

We are so thankful to have found Bravo Family Mortuary to handle arrangements for our mother. Steve and Lena were so helpful and responsive and took care of our needs to the last detail. It is hard to put a price on such quality of service, yet the cost was very reasonable. The facility is beautiful and dignified, and they coordinated perfectly with the memorial park. Bravo Family Mortuary is a gem and we will not hesitate to recommend them highly.

Courteous and professional service from start to finish. Thank you Lena, Steve, Blanca and Zoe for your kindness each step of the way through this process. I highly recommend Bravo Family Mortuary.

I live in SC and my cousin who was just 34 yrs old passed away in San Diego. I had been his contact and when the medical examiner called me with the awful news, I knew I had to figure out how to get the process started to get him home to SC. Not knowing what to do, I reached out to Bravo Family Mortuary, after listening to my story, they guided me and gave me comfort on the arrangements. My family and I, appreciated so much the care and the patience that they took with JG. He was a special person and was treated with the respect that he deserved. I sent an urn that I bought for him to be placed in. They took care of making sure that he was carefully prepared to start home. This has been an emotional journey, and I shared with the family how you all took the time to help me with the whole process. After the cremation, they set up the arrangements to ship JG home to us. Cannot say enough that they treated me with such kindness, and really didn't even know me, but by the end I felt very cared for. Thank you Lena and Steve!!
