Sad place – Mortuaries are not happy places to begin with, but this place accentuates it. With its sad dreary appearance and run down interior it just exudes unhappiness. It was probably a fine looking place in its heyday but it is well worn and unkempt now. The employees seemed to be of low quality and disinterested. The bathroom was horrendous and the size of a broom closet. The manager needed a shave and shower. He looked to be more suited for a lumber mill than funeral home. The chapel is small with no windows or ventila... read more
Not so good anymore. Gone downhill. – My family has used this place many times. I met the owner years ago when there was two of them. The place got sort of run down until the owners son in law Joseph Ochoa took over. He's a real smart guy who really takes care of you. He's helped us a couple of times over the last few years. He's an honest good man. I was surprised to hear he's gone now. I thought he was taking over. The new guy is terrible. He's stuck up and comes off as a know it all. We used them but won't again. the serv... read more
Go elsewhere – Just attended funeral. Saw two of their people getting into it in front of the church. The guy in charge Mike went off on a guy and left. The other workers clearly did not think much of him as they cracked jokes when he left. Unprofessional and inappropriate.
Un-Friendly Service – My wife is ill. I wanted to know how much it would be to send her home to be buried in Italy. I got the rudest , put off runaround ever. They don't know how much, "it will take a month, why don't I cremate instead". I asked why they were so abrupt. They said they were busy. They advertise that they ship remains around the world but you can't get an answer. I asked for the guy in the reviews, Joe. He is not there anymore. The Cathedral referred me to him. Does anyone know where he is at now. I would neve... read more
Changing my review – I am changing my review. I left a review after my wife passed away 2 years ago. I gave 5 stars at the time because the person who helped me Joe Ochoa was outstanding. It has come to my attention that he is no longer there. Without him I can not recommend them. I have used them twice before. As I mentioned in my original review I was not happy the first time i used them when my brother passed. The second time Joe Ochoa was wonderful. He made all the difference. I now have come to find out that Joe is not ... read more
People there are not the ones in the reviews. – I made contact with this establishment because I had read the great reviews and I live nearby. I also go to church next door and drive by daily. I have seen their funerals and but not attended one. My mother is ill and her time is coming near so I wanted to get an idea of cost. I had spoken to the church office a few months ago and they had great things to say about the man Joe who worked there. I work in IT so I looked up the facility and saw that they had great reviews and th... read more
Joe is the real deal – Let me preface this by saying that the only reason I am giving 5 stars is because of Joe Ochoa. My experience is a little different from the others. I came to the funeral home through an on-line affiliated company run by the funeral home's owner. There was some miscommunication between us and things were delayed causing me a great deal of stress. Somehow Joe from the main company came in and took care of everything. He handled in 5 minutes what everyone else took days to do. Once he stepped in it was s... read more
Joe Ochoa is a blessing – My dearest husband passed away without warning. I was completely distraught and did not know where to turn. My son got on the internet and started calling funeral homes. We did not have a lot of time so we looked at some that had good reviews. My son called and spoke to someone at Ferrara. It was the middle of the night and honestly he was not impressed with who we spoke to. We set an appointment for the following day. I had reservations when we arrived. I had told my son that if we did not like wha... read more
Excellent service at a terrible time – My wife was on hospice care and I was told I needed to select a funeral home. I was given a list and started calling. I spoke to Joe Ochoa and he was clearly the most informed and competent person I spoke to. I didn't make any firm commitments because I was receiving advice from a number of people. When my wife passed I told the nurse that i was using Ferrara Mortuary. I called the funeral home and spoke to a gal who had Lynn call me back. He was nice. When I asked for Joe I was told he... read more
