A caring Murrieta funeral home

Modern and relaxed, Miller Jones Mortuary & Crematory exceeds in helping families honor their loved ones. Opened in 2014, the Murrieta mortuary is located on Jefferson Avenue, very near the Temecula city limit. Designed with today's families in mind, it has a flexible space for services or receptions. It can be customized for traditional services or contemporary celebrations.

With catering offerings, we can take care of food, drinks and cleanup, so you can spend time with family and friends. We also have a wide range of music options for custom playlists and flat-screen televisions for slideshows and video tributes.

Personalized memorials and celebrations of life

We believe that every service should be as unique as the life lived. We capture the essence of your loved one to create an event that honors your special person and gives friends and family a chance to come together and remember.

Perhaps it’s a barbecue in honor of the pit master, complete with live music and bottles of homemade sauce for guests to take home. Maybe it's a garden-themed party for a beloved green thumb. Or perhaps it's a quiet outdoor scattering ceremony with the closest family and friends. No matter your wish, no matter the detail, we handle it all.

Whether you want to arrange a traditional funeral service or modern celebration of life, large gathering or more intimate service, we will work with you one-on-one to ensure your needs and budget are met. From floral arrangements to music selections, decor, mementos and more, we guide you through your choices with care.

Practiced in Hispanic traditions

The team at Miller Jones Mortuary & Crematory in Murrieta understands the cultural nuances of the Hispanic community. We are experienced in planning funerals that reflect faith and family. We recognize that Hispanic funerals last longer and usually include good food, lively music and plenty of emotional conversation. With overnight visitations and on-site catering, we can easily tailor a funeral or memorial for Hispanic loved ones.

Cremation services in Murrieta

We specialize in cremation services that honor loved ones in personalized ways, and families love our transparent pricing. With expertise in scattering ashes and a friendly team who pays attention to every detail, we provide service that is second to none.

More and more people are choosing cremation over traditional burial, but most aren’t familiar with the many options:

• a cremation without a funeral or memorial service of any kind.
• a funeral with your loved one present, followed by cremation.
• a cremation followed by a scattering, cemetery memorialization or celebration of life—or all three.

For those who wish for a more momentous memorial, Neptune Memorial Reef is an underwater cremation garden off the coast of Florida. A Celestis Memorial Spaceflight takes ashes into space for a little while or forever.

There are many options for cremation—and they're not all equal. Here's what you can expect when you choose us for your loved one's cremation:

• Custody of care guaranteed. Our custody-of-care program helps safeguard the identification of your loved one from the time we bring them into our care until the time we return them to your family. We check, cross-check and check again, every step of the way.
• Exclusive custody of your loved one. We use only crematories owned and operated by Dignity Memorial® providers or trusted partners. Once your loved one is in our custody or that of a trusted partner, they’re in our care until they’re returned to your family.
• Licensed, certified, conscientious staff. All Dignity Memorial crematory operators are licensed and certified by Cremation Association of North America, or CANA. Only one person at a time is cremated, and the cremation chamber is thoroughly cleaned before the next person is cremated.
