My father passed away a few weeks ago (he was 93 years old) and had preplanned his arrangements a few years back. He was a wonderful man and wanted to insure his wishes were carried out. I just wanted to thank Howe for the great care they took with his arrangements. They were absolutely wonderful and answered all of our questions and took the utmost care in all their work. Special thanks to Patrick. I can't say enough how professional and caring he was to our family.

We were told to call mortuary by friend. When we called we were told we needed to sign papers to release remains to friend. Questions were asked as to parents names. No question as to whether we wanted any ashes or not. Several days went by before paperwork arrived via email. After his cremation we asked for 3 death certificates to be sent to us priority mail as we were leaving for Colorado the next week. We were willing to pay for it. When we called to check we were told they were mailed on Fri. As we watched for their arrival we were worried they were lost. When we asked for the tracking number Receptionist said it wasn't readily available. When they finally arrived I found they were sent regular mail which can take 1 week or more. I am very dissatisfied with their service . On top of it the death certificate is inaccurate.

I have nothing but good things to say about Carroll-Lewellen. The service I attended on 01/11/18,…read morewas fine. Not one complaint. Everything was professional, compassionate, organized, No mistakes, no rushing, no problems. I cant think of anything that was missing. Funerals, memorials, are NEVER easy, and CERTAINLY cant be perfect to everyone, for everyone, no matter how much experience the place may have.. To the people that left the negative reviews, the words are not practical nor logical. "Pay the extra bucks?" That implies something, which implies a lack of appreciation. I gave 5 stars, it says "as good as it gets". If we had a million dollars, could it have been better? I really don't think so. Maybe possibly, I am not a funeral expert, and I am really NOT looking forward to my next funeral to find out. "Noises and walking above?" Yes, I am quite sure they were intentionally doing it, JUST to be disrespectful. Its a building in the middle of Longmont, know what that means? its OLD. Thin walls, creaky floors. Who cares????? All I heard was kind words, memories, and crying for two hours. When you are grieving, NOTHING feels good, and EVERYTHING feels intentional. It is a funeral, a loved one died. NOTHING feels good, and NOTHING a funeral director can do is going to make ANYONE feel any better, about ANYTHING, for ANY amount of money. Anthony Satariano

My mother in law was cremated and she already had a plot at the cemetery. They charged us $994.00…read moreto open it up to put in the urn. I asked Grace to justify the expense. She said there was a $690.00 just to dig the hole 12" x 12" and 18" deep. Then there was a plastic vault we had to put the urn in and it was $298.00. The urn was cheap plastic and the urn did not fit plus tax. Seems to me they are praying on the sadness of our loss. Since the plot was paid for either you pay the $994.00 or no hole. I could have used a post hole digger besides I know good and well it it not cost the $690.00 to dig the whole What a rip off.

Mountain View Memorial park is a nice location with a view of the front range (and parts of the…read moreback range). As a memorial park, it is mostly graves with flat headstones (so from a distance it just looks like a large grass field). We actually went with the very pleasant cremation garden in the south-west corner -- it's a very well-maintained garden with flowers, bushes and trees etc. around a fountain, where you can place cremains (in a bronze capsule) in granite-covered niches in the wall, or in the ground covered by a small granite stone in various shapes, or a flagstone stepper. Overall, their service was pretty good, though we did have to double-check their engravings proofs for typos. They were able to prepare the bronze capsule (which makes a nice urn for the funeral) in 3 business days, and have the engraved flagstone ready for the internment the following day.

I did not have a great experience with this company. We were initially informed that we would have…read morethe ashes back in 3 days so that the visiting family members could have a small ceremony. Then we found out it would be 5 or 6 days and we were not happy as the family would be gone then. Josh, the director then charged us over $300 extra to accelerate the process but never told us or asked us if that was OK. Seemed very disconnected. Post death is a very tender time to begin with and then to not have things go the way we were told was stressful. Then he forgot to give us belongings of our loved one back until I reminded him days later. I would not recommend their services.

Crist Mortuary, and especially Larissa Carneiro, were absolutely wonderful assisting our family with the passing my wife and their mother. In short, Larissa was beyond kind, considerate and thoughtful. It was if she was a family member. She handled both administrative and practical matters that we did not even consider. The greatest gift she provided, unbeknownst to me, was to arrange with the Veterans Administration to have secure the plot next to my wife ("we met in the Air Force over 40 years ago"). I don't make unconditional recommendations lightly, but consider this the best of the best. God Bless. Any by the way, she never solicited or asked for a review...
