Dear Jared and Staff at Colonial, Losing my father was one…read moreof the hardest experiences to go through. Living in another state made it especially difficult, but from the time I met with you and later received his ashes, I realize how everything you did was with the utmost respect, care and professionalism. Please accept my extreme gratitude for your kind and loving support. I didn't get the opportunity to thank you for your generous time and assistance filling out paperwork when I was barley able to function! Leslie Thorley

Wish there was an option to leave a negative star for this funeral home. We were treated with…read moredisrespect, but a rude funeral director at a time a family is most vulnerable was the worst! Felt like we were unwelcome (with outward rudeness), the services were poor (they forgot to seal the urn full of cremains), and the atmosphere there is more like a cheap movie set of a bad movie! Hopefully this review can reach families before they are in the situation of having to find funeral services under duress!

During the most devastating period of my life, the sudden loss of my little brother, Amy Swift at…read moreWilks Funeral Home was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first interaction, Amy treated my family and me with such compassion, patience, and genuine care that it immediately eased some of the overwhelming weight we were carrying. She communicated clearly, promptly, and gently, always making sure I understood each step and never making me feel rushed or like "just another case." Amy went above and beyond in ways I will never forget. Coordinating the cremation and transport of my brother across state lines was emotionally excruciating, yet Amy handled every detail with grace and precision. She even ensured we could track his journey using an AirTag, which brought an unexpected level of comfort and reassurance during an otherwise unbearable process. Her thoughtfulness, responsiveness, and kindness made an impossible situation feel manageable. Amy Swift is a rare and remarkable human being. Her empathy is real, her professionalism impeccable, and her heart unmistakable in everything she does. I will forever be grateful to her and to Wilks Funeral Home for treating my brother with dignity and our family with such profound compassion. If you find yourself needing funeral services, I cannot recommend Amy and Wilks highly enough--they are truly exceptional.

My older brother died unexpectedly at the age of 39 a few weeks ago. As my family navigated this…read moreearth-shattering heartbreak from California, we were grateful to be under the care of Amy Swift at Wilks. She showed us so much grace and patience, helping us make sense of an unbelievable situation (again, from several states away) and never made us feel bad about all the calls and emails from our family. She adjusted a floral order to be sent to my parents instead of the funeral home... she and the team set up a beautiful private viewing space for us to collect his ashes... she walked my parents through all their options with so much tenderness. I could go on and on, but I'll end by saying that we will never forget the kindness and empathy Amy showed us during the hardest thing we've walked through. Thank you from the bottom of our broken hearts.

When my brother-in-law passed away, the funeral director held a very inappropriate, detailed, and…read moredisgusting conversation with some family members while the grieving widow was present, waiting for the meeting arranging the funeral services to start.

At that time it was a furniture store, funeral home and ambulance service. In 1976 the ambulance service was discontinued due to the start up of the Shelley Q.R.U. In 1995, the funeral home moved to its present location at 110 West Oak. Nalder Funeral Home has been serving Shelley and the surrounding area for three generations. It has been family owned and operated for over 70 years.

I wouldn't recommend this business. They charge a $150 "viewing/identification fee". My mother…read morepassed in a way I didn't want to see her so this was the only time for me to say goodbye. It's incredibly insensitive to charge an additional $150 after thousands of dollars just for me (1 person) to say goodbye. To make matters worse, I scheduled an appt and they had another active funeral going on when I arrived. My mother's body was on a fridge metal gurney and I couldn't access her hands. Hardly a "prepared viewing". The minute I stepped out after the "viewing", the guy asked me how and when I'd like to pay.... Stating "today or tomorrow would be ideal". I lost her 2 days prior. I understand it's a business and a job for you... but learn some basic respect!!!
