About American Cremation Services
Mike Looney, a US Army service-connected disabled veteran, served with the 111th Mortuary Affairs Company at Fort Lee, Virginia, recovering, identifying, and transporting deceased service members and civilians. In January 2026, American Cremation Services was acquired by his family as a service-connected disabled veteran-owned small business. The company's mission is to provide deeply empathetic, direct care to families in the San Diego community at affordable prices. By owning its own transportation company and crematory, the company eliminates third-party costs and ensures remains never leave their care, providing what they describe as a complete circle of integrity and support from start to finish.
