It would never have occurred to me to write a review for them until I came across a ridiculously rude review below that I both reported and am offsetting with a positive review to put their rating back where it belongs. The grounds are beautiful, the ambience is peaceful and I feel good about selecting this site as a final resting place. ....throwing a temper tantrum and giving a location like this a negative review because you couldn't pee there- during covid no less- gives an entirely mislead perception of how it actually is to someone considering this as the final resting place for their loved one.

The roads could be better improved. Several of the trees' roots have lifted the roads, making each road seem like it has several bumps. You definitely need to drive slow here.

Like many historic cemeteries, some of the older graves and areas need care and restoration. Still, it's important to remember that this cemetery is a nonprofit, and they do their best with the resources they have. I appreciate the effort, the respect, and the continued preservation of such an essential piece of Stockton's history. The staff are invaluable. If you visit, walk slowly. Read the names. Notice the children's markers, the Odd Fellows plots, the monuments, and the memorials to those who were buried without names. It's a reminder of how precious every life is.

When my dad passed away we thought he had previously picked out what he wanted for his funeral…read more Turned out he just got info, brochures and the like. Moses was fabulous in helping me figure out all what was needed to make a lovely Catholic funeral Mass happen for him. He did it all and coordinated bringing my dad from another funeral home in another state (he lived there but wanted to be buried in the cemetery his parents are at in Stockton) so was just a little more complicated. Plus I had my brother's cremated remains I wanted to be buried with dad. Moses made it all come together without a hitch The music and singers he booked were fabulous and their location is beautiful for any services you would want to do there. Ours was a little more detailed because we had the Rosary the night before, Mass at the church the next day then followed to the cemetery for the graveside part. He and all the other staff were very professional and right on every little detail. I cannot thank everyone at Casa Bonita enough for such a wonderful job they did. This is not an easy business and I see some not good reviews on here but I have to say those people have to be something wrong personally because of course a business has to be paid. Yes, everyone pays otherwise you don't stay in business very long. Moses helped me save alot of money by finding solutions for a couple of very high cost items, so I personally know he's not out to get every dollar you have. In fact I need to contact him soon to start pre-need planning for mom because she will be buried with dad and I'm not going to go anywhere else. My Nonnie's funeral was also held here in 2015 and although I had no part in planning hers, I did attend and hers was just as lovely. I'm sure that is why my dad got brochures and information back then. You can be sure everything will go smoothly when Moses is taking care of things. Thank you for everything you do.

This review is regarding my family's dissatisfaction with the workmanship on a headstone engraved…read morein October 2023 by Graystone Monuments, Stockton, CA. Our dissatisfaction stems from the lack of quality of the engraving for my mother who died February 16, 2023 and is now buried in San Joaquin Catholic Cemetery in the same plot as her husband. Her husband died in 1995 and his information was already on the headstone. ln March 2023 I engaged Graystone Monuments to engrave my mother's information alongside his. I provided a mock-up of the wording and expected the new engraving to match the existing engraving. It does not. The new engraving font is slightly smaller, not as deep, and not as wide. After they did the work, the new information did not match the old and was hardly visible. I provided them photos showing the problem. There were several conversations with them on this subject, with their last email to me on 3/16/2024 saying "There is nothing else we can do for you." It appears to me that their on-site engraving capability was either insufficient or their craftsman was not qualified. Their only suggestion was to let the marker age and no one would be able to notice the difference.

Colonial Rose lied about pricing multiple times.

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.

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!
