    Colonial Rose lied about pricing multiple times. They tried to add additional costs, $1,150 plus…read moreanother $300, multiple times even after we had agreed on price and total and signed the contract. They tried to short me two entire hours of my loved one's funeral service and ended up shorting me only one hour after I complained. At the planning meeting I informed them that I wanted to pay on assignment they agreed since that's one of the approved forms of payment they take. This was two weeks before the funeral. Then they proceeded to lie and say that my loved one's life insurance company didn't allow that type of payment and that I had no claim opened, but in reality they were the ones to call the insurance company and specifically say they were refusing the payment on assignment and wanted to be paid up front. And not wait the obligatory 20 days. When I informed them that I didn't have a way to pay them in cash which is why I chose the payment on assignment option they said "well if there's no payment there's no funeral or cremation" only a couple days before the funeral. They made it seem like they were holding my loved one's body hostage and only cared about their money. So not only was I dealing with the devastation of losing my loved one now I had to scramble to find cash to cover the costs since they will charge 3% for using a credit card. They lied multiple times to my face and they were very inconsiderate and lacked training. The only employee that I have nothing bad to say about was their receptionist Dylani. She was always very helpful and thoughtful. And then as a cherry on top Lenny the funeral director signed the guest book before any of the family or guests did. I was very irked by that because he wasn't family or a friend and signed it as a business card.

    Definitely recommend. The whole process of losing a loved one and then, having to make decisions…read moreand arrangements for a funeral is tough and at times, agonizing. From the moment we met Amber, we felt comfortable. My dad lost the love of his life after 66 years of marriage and is heartbroken. Amber made the whole process of making decisions easy for him! The whole process was simple and she made it carefree for us. We also worked with Elaina and Dylani. Everyone worked so well with us especially when we had to make edits to the death certificate and the obituary amongst on the spot decisions on the day of service that my brother and I had to make. They all were so patient and understanding of us as we were in pain and grieving. Also, the embalmer made my mom look beautiful and they added a veil to her casket for the viewing which added a special touch. While we set our own funeral program, Amber and the rest of the staff was there by our side to make sure everything was accomplished. They helped pin the boutonnières on the pallbearers and helped with the timeline of procession to the burial after ceremony after the reception. I couldn't have asked for a better execution of the timelines as we had to drive almost an hour to the cemetery. We were able to have Athena the service dog visit and the FB live worked well for our relatives overseas! Also, I recommend renting the reception room. They provided coffee, tea, and water. We added breakfast in the morning and charcuterie foods for after the service. Super convenient for those that were not going to the burial. Also, some people and kids were not comfortable with the viewing so it was a safe place to hang out. Plus, perfect for a family reunion with people you haven't seen in years! Such a smart idea to have this room. The price of funeral was reasonable. I love this staff. The home itself is beautiful and I love the chandeliers. It was a perfect environment to feel the love everyone has for my mom and our family. Also, service to the burial was great. Amber had my dad ride with her in the hearse. That was super nice for my dad. She was really great with him and helped to lift his burdens. At the burial, everything was executed well and done professionally. Thank you!

    This family own and operated business goes above and beyond expectations. We lost my grandfather 11…read moreyears ago and used their services and had the same exact experience. Death is never easy on anyone and there is a lot of emotions good and bad tied to death of a loved one. Recently loss my grandmother and I knew they were the first people I would call to start the process of following her wishes to be cremated. Danielle, Hailey, Becca and Trey all made the experience just as comforting as it was with my grandfather. They explained thoroughly the process in detail as well as reinsured and updated when my grandmother arrived to their facility safely. They brought calm and peace to what is probably the toughest time for me personally given my grandmother was like a mother to me. This team and business respects people from all walks of life along with their customers beliefs in culture or spirit working collectively with your family to carry out any wishes your loved one had. Obviously there are some protocols that they have to oblige to during the pandemic but never less did it take away from great service they provide. Im truly thankful for them, their professionalism, guidance, respect and honor goes above and beyond any expectations you would have. Its with my highest recommendation that this family owned business is your FIRST and only choice for your family member or loved one. The CABAN OHANA thanks you from the bottom of our heart and gives you our fondest aloha!

    Had the most disturbing experience with this organization and their partnership with Tulip…read moreCremations. Even after getting confirmation for pick-up from Tulip, BACS had no record of our pick-up appointment. I had an email confirming time and location and a follow-up email that said the crematory requested to push back an hour for pick up, yet they had no record of our pick up appointment. They blamed Tulip and was dismissive about the lack of communication and said it wasn't their fault. They should work with their partners to have a better process as this type of service is a sensitive time for families. The anger and dismissive attitude without acknowledging the experience of someone picking up a loved one is disturbing. Although I was able to get the remains of my loved one, it has been a very disturbing experience from both Tulip and Bay Area Crematory Society/A Bay Area Crematory. The experience really highlights the industries push to make money off of the deceased without care or concern.

    want to share my deepest gratitude for the wonderful people at Zapata Funeral Home. During the…read morehardest time of my life, they were incredibly caring and handled everything with such dignity and integrity. They are a 100% family-owned business, and you can truly feel that personal touch in everything they do. They did a beautiful job preparing my son for his funeral, and l am so thankful for their compassionate care. If you are looking for a place that feels homey, clean, and welcoming, I cannot recommend them enough. They have a beautiful little chapel that can hold up to 100 people, and the parking space makes it so easy for family to arrive. The entire experience was worth it, and l am so glad we chose them. If you need their services, please reach out to Rafael at 209-561-4828. They are available 24 hours a day to help you when you need it most. Zapata Funeral Home 445 N.

    I experienced poor service from Gabe. My son was cremated…read morelast September. His name was misspelled on the urn and death certificate. I NEVER received the death certificate from him either. I called him about it...he gave me lies about mailing it. I told him I never received it and asked for another copy. He said he had to get it from the Coroners office - and he said he'd mail it again. I'm thinking - No idiot just call me and I'll pick it up. Of course, he never called. I had to call him. Anyway, I finally went to the Coroners office and I asked them did Zapata Funeral Home request a death certificate and I was told no. This jerk messed up my son's name, urn, and death certificate. Stay away from him. Again - I buried my son - he had no compassion, no professionalism and no follow up.

    De Young aka Dignity Memorial…read more If you are expecting any type of compassion and respect for your loved ones that have passed away and their family trying to follow through with their dying wishes , DO NOT... I repeat DO NOT come here. They try to flip the script and tell you " no this was your loved ones request was" when you ask them for the proof and a signature from our loved one, they can not provide you any of the proper documentation. They play on your grieving heartstrings. They made my family members suffer already grieving and didn't make it easy for the burial transition for my grandmother that had passed away. This place is all about how much money they can make off of you even after your loved one has made their funeral/ burial plans 50 plus years ago. Years ago when my grandparents made their funeral/ burial plans De Young's was privately owned and they really went all out for you. You know that old fashioned caring and compassionate customer service we've become accustomed to, especially when we are so brokenhearted and not thinking clearly because our loved one has just passed. My grandmother would never have wanted her family to go through what our family went through with this horrible business. I strongly suggest going to a privately owned funeral home and not this place. 0 stars for this place!
