I highly recommend Colonial Chapel in Laurel, Mississippi. Everyone we worked with was incredibly friendly, kind, helpful, and accommodating. My mother was living in Texas when she passed, and Colonial Chapel helped coordinate her transportation to Mississippi. They picked her up at the airport in Jackson and transported her to Laurel, taking care of those arrangements for our family during an incredibly difficult time.
Their compassion, professionalism, and willingness to help throughout the entire process meant so much to us. They made a very difficult experience a little easier and gave us peace of mind knowing everything was being handled with care. We truly appreciate… read full review
I have 2 separate experiences with this company which really has me on the fence about my opinion about this.... 1) My mother passed away. My family and I have our funeral plans through this company which we have never used before as we are new to the area. They handled everything amazingly, made the process effortless and showed AMAZING empathy. They listened to every request we had, and the funeral was (almost) how she would've wanted it. I really thought we made the right decision with this company for when the time came for my grandparents.. 2) My grandfather unexpectedly got Covid and passed away suddenly. He had plans on paper and within their system before we even "fully" moved in down here...Nothing was right. It was a MESS! They couldn't find the picture I gave them, UNTIL THE LAST SECOND! The website still says NOTHING of the actual obituary and still doesn't provide the pictures! The first person we talked to (David) was a sweet sweet man, but he really had no idea what he was doing with the system, told us he had it "under control", with us leaving thinking everything will be fine. We were sorely disappointed. The people who work here are amazing, sweet, empathetic people. But I really think a little more skill or time needs to go into the paperwork and "presentation" side of things. I will continue to use this company as again my grandfathers death was sudden, but the fine details, and families preferences on the picture and obituary should be taken as it is our family member...
When my mother was placed on hospice, I met with Micheal to make plans. The kindness, support, and compassion shown by him and his staff is something my family and I will never forget. He taught me a valuable lesson about life. There's no urgency in death; take time to enjoy and be a part of life while your loved ones are here. They took care of my mother as if she was their own. I am forever grateful for them.
