We could not have had a better experience with this funeral home! MarQuita was our cremation & funeral coordinator and was just amazing. Our mother had the most beautiful slideshow (put together by the funeral home), and they took care of everything from handling food for our luncheon to playing a playlist of her favorite music. Lovely memorial room and luncheon space. Attentive, thorough, and supportive throughout our experience. Highly recommend!!!

Everything was well put together and the family was pleased with the services provided. The Military Honor Guard was waiting at the cemetery to honor Robert
The only thing was the vehicles cutting into the funeral procession on our way to the cemetery. Courtesy from the other drivers was not there would suggest posting at intersections to allow the funeral procession to pass
Otherwise was well pleased from start to finish

From the start of the process of collecting the body of my loved one, the personnel of CCZFH were very respectful and solemn. Working with the funeral director, Marquita Cooper, to finalize arrangements was seamless. She was able to create a beautiful obituary for my loved one and took care of all the necessary things so that I didn't need to worry about it. Thank you CCZFH.
