About Care Center Cremation & Burial
Care Center Cremation & Burial is family owned and operated in San Diego, CA, with a second location in San Marcos, CA. With over 25 years of experience, we treat every customer like our own family. Other companies may offer similar services, but our services come with a personal touch.
Funeral director and embalmer, Brian Gisotti, founded Care Center Cremation & Burial to raise the bar for the funeral experience. Now, with the addition of funeral arranger Dennis Rivera, we can soar to new heights, providing families with the best tribute to and memory of their loved ones while keeping costs affordable.

Resident door alarm and timekeeper. A fluffy poodle mix who knows what time his walks are and when lunch is. Don’t let his appearance fool you — he is more ragdoll cat than dog.
The Egyptian God Anubis

Care Center Cremation & Burial started as an embalming center, then evolved into a full-service funeral home. Two of our founders are licensed embalmers with over 30 years of embalming experience. Our love of history and the art of embalming are deeply rooted in our core values.
Our mission and values are based on the Egyptian god, Anubis, the guide and protector of the dead. We are here to guide and protect every loved one in our care while guiding and protecting their families in their most difficult time of need.
Our Furry Family
At Care Center Cremation & Burial, we know that our dearest loved ones often have four legs and fur. Meet our staff’s fur babies below.
“It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them.”
