Feedback From Our Families

Donna Montalbano

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

This was a devastating loss to our family, my dad wanted to be with his parents here and the staff at the Italian cemetery were so supportive, returned my calls promptly and helped me at the funeral grave site. ❤️

THEY WERE MOST EFFICIENT IN EVERY WAY FOR OUR FAMILY.

Susan Micheletti

Office staff were expecting us. They had all the details on my mother's prepaid vault. It only required a quick signature on my part and we were off. Steve was very helpful, kind, and personal. He even recalled seeing my Mom on occasion when she was visiting my father's who is laid to rest there. The grounds are very clean and well-kept. On the day we laid my Mom to rest, the staff on hand were very professional and respectful. They even took the time to put some of my mother's flowers on my father's vault flower holders.

The Italian Cemetery provided exceptional services during the difficult time of my husband's passing. From the moment we approached the cemetery, staff demonstrated professionalism, empathy, and sensitivity. The seamless coordination of every detail, from the initial arrangements to the actual burial, made a challenging experience more bearable for me and my family.
