Although they have good pricing for their services they are the worst at customer services. They say they will call you back and they never do. Took 3 months to get my sisters death certificate. They kept saying they were waiting for OMI in Santa Fe. I finally called OMI and they had nothing to do with the local doctor was signing off. Baca's didn't even know it. I was told 6 different times that they'd call me and they never did. They didn't call when her ashes were ready nor when the certificates were finally ready. Very disappointing customer service.

Extremely poor services when responding to phone calls. Especially when you are dealing with a difficult time as it is.

I just recently attended my Grandfather's service at Baca's and I just can't say enough about this group of people! They were nothing but professional and also very compassionate! The set up was amazing and the blanket they had made for him, that no one knew about, was awesome and brought tears to my eyes! I appreciate your staff for all the hard work that was put into making this special for those that loved him so so much.

First off, Mary at Bacas lied to me telling me my father's body wasn't there after MMC told me his body was released to them. Then she hit me up to pay my mother's funeral services from 21 years ago and hung up on me when I was upset about being told this all while trying to deal with having to search for my dead father all over town. ZERO COMPASSION and I am going to let everyone I know how Bacas treated me.

If I could give -5 stars, i would. This is a business where compassion is a must. My friend's son recently passed away. It was Wednesday he passed. On Friday they brought his clothes and asked to see him. This grieving mother was told no. That she brought clothes too late. She was never given a time. Everyone in the room agreed to this. She asked if she could see him Saturday then? No. Sunday? No. You will see him Monday at funeral. Unreal. The family called Baca Jr. And he said he would ask for an exception for mother to see him. Mind you, this mother had not seen her son yet
