It is with much sadness that I write this review. Our much-beloved mother passed away earlier in the month. She was a great daughter, mother, sister, nurse, friend, and wife. Colonial Chapels made this most difficult event as pain-free as possible, given the circumstances. Within a few hours of mom's final breaths, a coordinator with CC arrived to console our family, explain the options for viewing, funeral arrangements, and to transport mom for storage and body preparation. During the week, our family met with Jill from CC to finalize our choices for casket and service options. After arrangements were made, our family was given a walkthrough to inspect mom's prep, and the mortician took our family's feedback and made the necessary changes. The venue was kept meticulously clean and is reminiscent of a funeral home in the colonial-era deep South; the furniture matches that theme to a tee. From what I understand, the late founder had instilled some practices at Colonial Chapels that live on to this day (such as no credit cards), and I believe there is something to be said about loyalty to systems that were put in place before; the founder's legacy lives on. Everything proceeded smoothly as the days passed, and an elegant setting was placed for a heartfelt memorial/viewing. Our family was given access to an audio/video projection setup to relive mom's happy moments. CC also provided a nice simple setup displaying our family's Catholic/Christian faith, and I have no doubt that they would provide the same for people of different faiths. I believe mom would have been pleased with how her event turned out. There were no hitches, the next day, in transporting mom to her funeral mass at our local church. Pricing for all the services was much lower than I expected, but I'm no expert in the industry pricing standards for such services (and wouldn't want to be). Much gratitude is extended to Colonial Chapels for their assistance during this trying time. Love you mom. read more
