Recently here with flowers to visit my mom's grave site. To my surprise, her headstone wasn't there so I was unsure if I was the right space. Went to front office to inquire, was told they had no record of a headstone being ordered. They had the grounds keeper take me to the site--it was the unmarked space I was at.

Accompanying me was my daughter and one of my high school classmates, Dora, to discuss what type of service I wanted for my husband with Paul. Paul is an excellent funeral director who is not only helpful but also compassionate, empathetic and so understanding. I couldn't ask for anybody than him to handle the arrangement. I find he is approachable and personable; truly a great listener. This chapel is located on the corner of High and Walnut Streets. There is a parking lot for the attendees of a funeral.

Paul is very direct, but also super knowledgeable and will do everything he can to make this process as smooth as possible. He's familiar with all the traditional funerals, even more than us, so we trusted him with a lot. He delivered and made sure we had everything we needed. Burying loved ones has to be the most challenging and agonizing part of anyone's life & having a reputable chapel like Colonial makes it a little less stressful. Everything was perfect. They did a wonderful job with the dressing, makeup, floral set up and all. I appreciate Colonial. The only thing I would say is the funeral home is dated, but it's been around for ages.

In one of the hardest moments of our lives, they took so much weight off our shoulders with genuine care, patience, and compassion. Kevin went above and beyond every step of the way. He explained everything clearly, never rushed us, and made sure our family felt supported throughout the entire process. Nothing felt transactional. Everything felt personal, respectful, and deeply family oriented. You can truly tell this mortuary is built on love, integrity, and service. They handled everything with professionalism while still making us feel seen and cared for as people. That balance is rare, and it meant everything to our family. If you are looking for a place that will take care of you during an unimaginably difficult time, this is it. We are beyond grateful for Santos Robinson Mortuary and for Kevin. Highly recommend.

I emailed Anthony on 2 separate occasions regarding the niche and I did not receive a response (within a month time). I called a few months later expressing my frustration about Anthony's nonresponse and was told that I would receive a call back within a business day (after leaving a message with one of the associates there). I did not receive a call back. By now, I'm extremely frustrated. I spent 15K for my father's plot with no niche and no response. I called back a second time and asked my call to be elevated to a supervisor or someone that can assist me. I spoke to Melissa - she was extremely communicative and responsive, or so I thought. I paid 1.6k for the niche immediately and asked for estimated time of completion. Office's response on Jan 19th - "I have to wait for the file to get back from accounting then I can submit the order. It normally takes 10 business days to receive the layout for you to review. Once it's approved by your family, It takes 4 to 6 weeks for engraving to be completed. I should have the layout for you by the end of January." It is March 16, I just received the layout to be approved. This is far from the 10 business days, more like almost 2 months. I think the sloths at the DMV work faster and are more responsive.
