Just pick up body and cremation, No service, No pictures just a simple collection and service. We don't want our only son to wonder what to do, just like I faced when my father passed. We would appreciate getting this done in a timely manner. I can't believe nobody has called me back, I guess they would rather take advantage of the grief than prearranged death that contains no pressure on love ones. Maybe I should have just left a number and no message. Thank God I wasn't waiting to have them pick up someone dead.

The property and facility are very nice and meticulously maintained. However, my family and I…read moreexperienced a lack of refinement and professionalism when recently engaging their services. There was an insensitivity from staff during the removal of our loved one from our home coupled with the lack of privacy while making arrangements at the funeral home two days later. The owner could certainly benefit from brushing up on his people skills. We received the services that we paid fair market value for but would not use their services again.

Established in 1947 by Norman E. Gannon, the Firm has grown into a third-generation full service Funeral Home and Cremation Center. Now being operated by Norms twin sons, Brenden and Brian, along with Brian's son, Patrick, we have been able to separate ourselves by proving to be a truly "family-owned and independent" Funeral Home. From the initial call for service to the conclusion of the funeral, all services are personally supervised and provided by a member of the Gannon family.

It feels weird to even think about writing a review…read morebut I just need everyone to know how great and kind the people at Colonial Memorial Chapel have been. The staff have been wonderfully kind and understanding. They walked us through the process from beginning to end answering every question. They helped take care of the obituary and other necessary paperwork. They never pressured us into anything more than what our beloved wanted and even went above and beyond to get the color casket we wanted. They even allowed arrangements for a family member to see her early. They set up a minister to come do a short service after the viewing. The home is warm and 'cozy' and not stuffy like some places I have been. They took extra precautions with Covid related issues so that we could have the maximum people and still be within the rules. Their prices seemed very fair and they go through everything so you never feel taken advantage of with something unexpected. In this time of sorrow it was nice to feel like someone genuinely cared and had the means to actually help in this helpless situation.

I attended services for Amy K. Huff at your Orchard Park location. Sadly, I have attended many…read moreservices so far in my life, but I have never seen such a disrespectful lack of manners or empathy as was displayed by your staff. There was a large amount of viewers, but a request for more chairs was ignored. Over half of the attendees had not yet been able to make their way to the family to show love and respect when a Lombardo staff member started saying multiple times, it's time to go to the cemetery, return to your cars. I had stepped out of the hot room into the hall where many people were still waiting their turn. I heard a female staff member say loudly, we need to get them out of here. I won't have time for lunch or to clean before the next showing. What a lack of professionalism let alone empathy and caring for the family! I felt appalled for my friends family. What she said may have been true, but in this time of grief she could have at least said it out of hearing of the rest of us. Staff members actually began removing chairs as soon as someone stood up. They started stacking chairs, and the people who needed to sit had to unstack them. I had heard that Lombardo Funeral Home was wonderful. I now know that wonderful does not extend to the Orchard Park location.

We had a service here for a very beloved family member. He made an impression on everyone he met,…read moreso there was a lot of people at his wake/funeral. With waves of people coming in, the employees gave us an impression that we were doing a disservice to them and didn't make us feel very welcomed. Several times I had to ask if more bring water could be brought out, as trays sat empty. It's generous of Lombardos to bake cookies in the back room, but I'm not sure if this is something they like to do ... There were quite a few teenagers huddled in the back, as they were there to support their friend who just lost his father. As you can imagine, teens love cookies, so the first batch went quickly. When I asked if more could be made for incoming guests, the employee sounded a bit rude and said "They're gone already!" He then proceeded to the back, took out the raw dough, DIDN'T BOTHER TO CLEAN HIS HANDS, and threw the cookie dough on the trays to bake. He also wasn't very friendly when he made the comment that it would be 40 minutes till they were ready. Oh and there was a Keurig in the back. When I asked if they had any coffee, they said you can bring your own K-cups. Who the heck travels with K-cups, especially to a place like a funeral!? Maybe they're available to purchase as part of a package; however, I think that having coffee available is always a nice complement. I hope that the funeral home considers providing coffee for grieving guests, even if it's out of an old-fashioned coffee maker. Another thing that bothered me, is when we asked for more chairs to be brought out for the front row for family. The employees once again acted like we were asking them to move heaven and earth. Lastly, they allowed us to play slideshows and the quality of the TV in the back room was good; however, the one in the front room was older and the pictures appeared faded and not as nice. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of looking for funeral homes, make sure you are in good hands. You want to make sure everyone feels welcomed.

They and their staff provided a comforting, personalized wake at the West Seneca location. My husband, who was a Viet Nam vet and later went on to work at and retire from VA in Buffalo, had what I'm sure he would have loved. The veteran and national honor provided was wonderful. I mentioned(and others agreed) that this was the perfect place for him to be remembered. The staff took care of everything down to the smallest detail to make this difficult time manageable and as stress free as was possible under the circumstances. They made sure every detail was done to our satisfaction and answered any questions we may have had. They offered advice and suggestions when requested, and we were unsure as to what to do but never pushed anything on us . Planning the final remembrance for a loved one is never easy but Lakeside showed compassion and professionalism throughout the entire time. I would not hesitate to recommend Lakeside in West Seneca to anyone who wants their final wishes for loved ones done perfectly. They could not have done anything better.
