"To the family that had their funeral of their loved one, you have my heart felt sorry for your lose. It is so hard to look around and not see their smiling face and their presents. Try to remember when you think about them or look at their picture, just remember that they are no longer suffering and have gone to a better place."

"I could not have asked for a better experience. The ladies were so sensitive and respectful, and they took care of things before I even realized what I needed. The facility is bright, clean and welcoming. I loved the way they displayed my husband's belongings and the flowers, and I was proud of the way everything looked when family and friends arrived. They handled every detail - I didn't have to do a thing. Even though it's been 3 weeks since the funeral, they are still very concerned about me. I would come back to Colonial in the future without hesitation."
