For over 57 years and three generations, Drinkwine Family Mortuary has been serving veterans and families of all faiths, beliefs and cultures from south Denver and the surrounding metropolitan areas. In 1963, my wife Sharon and I, along with my parents, Donald and Lila Drinkwine, purchased our funeral home from Nickels-Hill Mortuary, and my family has continued to serve our community with integrity, compassion and dignity.
I am very proud that three generations of the Drinkwine family have been and are still available at our funeral home on a daily basis to serve each of our families. Drinkwine Family Mortuary is one of the few long-time, family-owned (most are corporate-owned) and operated funeral homes in Denver. Our facility houses a beautiful chapel for personalized memorial services and a secure, on-site crematory.

We recently lost our daughter and used the services of Drinkwine Family Mortuary. We had an A+ experience from start to finish. Jill Drinkwine was incredibly helpful in all aspects of the process. We couldn't be more pleased with the way she guided us through a very difficult time for our family. I highly recommend Drinkwine Family Mortuary.

I asked to see my husbands body before he was embalmed and was basically told that I couldn't, even though it's not legally required to embalm them unless they're being transported. My husband was being transported, but not for a couple days after when I wanted to see him. It seemed like the director was hesitant but agreed for me to see him, only to find out that they had embalmed him before I arrived the very next morning. The whole experience seemed more like a factory than a business that deals with families in their most difficult times. Additionally, there was an error with my name on the

Drinkwine Family mortuary is owned and operated by extremely caring and honest individuals. At a time when your life has been shattered they help families pick up the painful pieces and guide you through the logistics of honoring and caring for your loved one! I have been helping a close friend deal with the horrible tragedy of loosing her young son and Jill Drinkwine has been so patient, kind, helpful, professional and insightful. She genuinely cares about each family she is working with and is so respectful. The viewing and cremation went so much better than we expected. There were several complications

My sister laid her son to rest a couple of years ago. Of course the grief we felt then was immense and yet we knew that we could count on Drinkwine to help us with my mom's plans. They answered our call quickly and picked her up from the memory care facility where she spent her final days. The person who picked her up, gave us time for one last kiss and caress. He was kind, tremendously respectful and professional. The next day, we met with Travis who was beyond attentive. He helped us set up dates for a rosary and of course the service. He arranged for transportation, flowers, deacons and priests

Unfortunately I did alot of crying after the service was complete! Do to Jill Drinkwine getting my moms birthday wrong on the death certificates i was forced to have it corrected at my expense. It was her mistake but i had to pay not the 10$ she told me it was for each death certificate but 40$ for one. VERY SAD AND DISAPPOINTING!! After having many deaths in the family and going here we had trust and faith in them. We will not be back!!

Made arrangements for my dad who was close to dying. They said they could work with us when we could assess money to pay for cremation. Their definition of working with us was you want the ashes for the service then you must pay bill in full. If this was their policy they should have stated it uo front and not said they would be understanding and work wirh us. It left a bad taste in my mouth.

Gentleman who was the funeral director was not at all what I expected when dealing with the passing of a loved one. This guy was jolly, a comedian and acted as if he was in some kind of performance. Not to mention that the services felt extremely rushed. I would never use this mortuary for one of my own family members in the future. Very distasteful.
