Feedback From Our Families

Karen Ann Reineke

The folks at the Italian Cemetery are always so helpful and professional. Options for burial and services were explained very well, and all questions were answered. Steve and Joanna were able to help us along through another difficult time with courtesy and understanding.

Deanne Pitts

My Grandfather has been buried at the Italian Cemetery for almost 80 years. After years of searching and rediscovering his amazing life (he had changed his name to his stage name,) my Father and I were able to finally honor him and place a headstone on his grave. We had a challenging request, he was a Trapeze performer and a daredevil that performed stunts all over the Country and we asked if they could help us with an image of sorts on his headstone. Boy did they provide! Thank you for closing a chapter for myself, my Dad, siblings, and all my extended Italian Family that always wondered what happened to their never forgotten son who came out West to be a star!

We recently interred my mother-in-law who passed away recently, as well as the ashes of my late brother-in-law who passed away 7 years ago. Steve and the entire staff at the Italian Cemetary were all very helpful, responsive and compassionate.

I contacted The Italian Cemetery today for information on an ancestor. Troy Milan was a wealth of information about burial cards and next steps in finding additional leads through the Colma Historical Society. He provided telephone number, email and website information. He even walked to my ancestor's gravesite to see if there was a monument with dates, etc. He went above and beyond to help me. I really appreciated his time and extra effort. Donna Montalbano
