I cant say enough good things about how
well Colonial handled our loved ones visitation and service recently. The facility is beautiful and impeccably clean. The room was large and great for social distancing. The staff were present and helpful but also very respectful in keeping their distance. From the first meeting to set up the details of the visitation and cremation until the visitation itself, I found the whole staff very helpful and accommodating of our needs. We were able to set up memorabilia, a slideshow on a monitor, and many easels of pictures. They are responsive to email, and

Extreemly caring heartfelt help in our time of need. Karen, Mark (Mr. Silo and all staff who's names we don't know) we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The director, Mark drove our beloved Jacob to our family cemetary plots in Michigan and stayed with us throughout the service.

The services are good.. but im disappointed that they never even included the whole family in an apology card.. mom has 2 sons.. and when we opened the card it was meant only 1 sons family.. and we were the one who spoke to the manager.. i hope no one will ever experience that.. it was like a slap to my husbands face.. losing his mom and not even recognized as her son.. its like he lost everything including his identity as a son.. the manager kept referring to us as "relatives" when we clearly said our moms ashes..

The entire staff at Colonial was absolutely wonderful. They made us feel truly cared for & it is why we returned to them for a third time in planning a family member's wake & funeral. Brad guided us with empathy & patience throughout the planning & picking process, never pressuring us & allowing us the time we needed to make decisions. He provided honest advice & helpful suggestions in planning an economical but still beautiful visitation & funeral for my mother. He and his staff called to ask/answer follow-up questions & were there to support us every step of the way. The funeral home itself is

This place is so unprofessional and un caring. 2 hours in to the wake and they walk in demanding service balance payment or "We won't allow the wake to continue". This through the whole mourning process to turn from sorrow to angry emotion. If they needed to remind us of the timing of balance payment, they should have done it before the wake started at 3:00. Our mother passed in Chicago, IL and needed to be transported to Mexico. We were told that they ad vast experiences with transporting out of the country and we believed them. Our mother arrived at our funeral home in Mexico, the funeral director
