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.
