This funeral home is average sized. It's a bit out of date but very accommodating, great service provided by the staff. There was no "grief room" but I think that's the least of the issues if this is the result of the crisis. Bathrooms during visits are a bit sub par in my opinion. Wouldn't mind having my funeral here either.

It's taken me awhile to write this, so I understand it might be unusual to see this review so late. The owners were very, very nice. They were very caring individuals. This is not about the owners whatsoever. That being said: there were other staff who were walking around and watching us. That is their job, but one man in particular was so rude, I was taken aback. I don't know the man's name, but he was a taller man, a bit older. The look on his face can only be described as a scowl. The way he spoke to me was with a hurried and annoyed tone. He made it a point to follow me to the back room when I brought in coffee. This was my mistake as COVID restrictions were still around. I apologized to him. Thought the matter was done. HOWEVER, it was not. He made it a point to watch me in particular and it made me wildly uncomfortable. I made a comment to someone about him and he interjected he was doing his job-because he was listening to my conversation, apparently. The next day at my brother's funeral after my parents said their goodbye's to my brother: I was the last person in the room with the casket. Same person (and another person-can't remember) were also there. They were in a big rush to get us out. I looked back as I was exiting the room. I was obviously crying and upset (my brother died at 28) and the look on his face was even more intense, like I was a burden because I was there mourning my brother. Him and the other person were whispering about something to the effect of "he can't wait until this is over with". All I'm asking if your staff to understand the gravity of a situation. If they can't handle people mourning at a funeral and being upset, they should get out of their role ASAP. My parents were too upset to say something, but your staff needs to be more respectful to mourners, period.

We felt that the cost was reasonable and even though it's not the largest space, they were still able to accommodate everyone who came. They are a family business and they do everything they can to make the experience seamless. I liked that they helped create the tribute video and had a staff member making sure things were stocked and clean while we were there. It ended up snowing before we left and the owners cleaned off all the cars and made sure pathways were shoveled, that was a very kind gesture after a long day.

The gravestones lay flat here instead of upright like in Oakwood so one has to look down and walk a lot to find anyone. Some graves were nearly covered up altogether, and a LOT of water was around. We asked the crew about the lawn, and of course they mentioned that the water made it hard to maintain. Our grandmother had a vase in the ground that we requested to be dug out because it seemed to be either sunken or missing. They told us that people steal the vases, and we can't buy another one because they don't sell them anymore. Seriously? Where are we supposed to put flowers? Some gravestones have built in holes for flowers, balloons, etc. so maybe that's what people who choose to come here need to do.

When my father was gravely ill. I called his church for suggestions on funeral homes. I was given…read moretwo local homes that the church works closely with - one was Colonial Chapel. I called and spoke to Ed Damstra III. He was very friendly and provided very useful information. Ed explained that Colonial is a family-owned business, not a corporate funeral home (as more and more seem to be). The prices that he quoted me were very competitive with other homes that I called. When my dad passed away, I called Ed and told him that we would need his services. He immediately dispatched a car to pick up my dad, and we made an immediate appointment to discuss the services. Ed met with my sister and me, and within one hour we had everything arranged. Ed was very easy to work with and did not try to "steer" us to any particular service or item. He explained every option fully, and was very detail-oriented. We left Colonial with the knowledge that dad would be well cared-for and would receive the best send-off possible. On the day of visitation, we were met at the door by Ed, and his team took care of all aspects of the evening - from the music and flowers to the wonderful remembrance DVD to the greeting of those who visited. We needed to worry about nothing, which left us more time to receive well-wishers and pay our respects to my dad. On the day of the funeral, we were again amazed by the professionalism and complete service of Ed and his team. At the end of the day we received a packet that included the guest book, the ornamentation from the casket, thank-you cards and more. Ed even gathered the flowers and plants and packaged them up for us to take home. I want to note that Colonial Chapel is NOT your usual dark, dreary funeral home. the anteroom is very large with a fireplace and comfortable sofas and chairs. The chapels are very large and comfortable. The family lounge is also very large. This facility is very bright, which I loved. Everything makes you feel like you're celebrating a life - not mourning a death. I realize that funeral homes aren't something that a person thinks about very often. However, when the need comes, you're definitely rushed to find a facility and don't have much time to "shop around". I was glad I had the chance to do that, and I'm incredibly fortunate to have found a facility - and staff - like Colonial Chapel and those that manage it.
