Thanks to Dir. Esmeralda, Maria, and the rest of her staff, for making our mom's memorial service such a beautiful celebration. We encountered professionalism and dedication from the very start on 12-5 during the wake, and then 12-6-16 for the interment. Everyone who attended the services commented on how well everything was arranged; the cleanliness and decor of the interior of the funeral home itself. The catering pre-need package included a lot of delicious items; including fruit, which is my favorite. Everything was so inviting. Thanks to all the staff for the wonderful work done overall (including my mom's make up and placement in the casket). The video had too few photos, but Esmeralda was kind enough to inform us on how to download photos to their website; they will subsequently provide us with a video CD that is more favorable to us. The problem was that my jpegs were too large (since my camera is an Nikon D700, and I shoot at high ASA/ISO depending on the lighting). Thanks for the beautiful work and accommodations!
