John did things for people out of the kindness of his heart because he was such a caring person. He always put everyone before himself. If you ever got the chance to meet John you would know you have a friend for life. Dads' favorite thing to do was barbeque, throw on some Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili peppers, Sublime and spend time with his family.

Horrible experience , my son died almost six years ago this is the first time I’ve been brave enough to post ! My son played the chocking game and died ! Cappadonna promised to donate billboards and keep them up for a year , but this was just as much to advertise them !! The billboard was up for 2 months when I reached out to the company that put them up they said the the people pulled the contact early ! I tried several times to get answers from the Funeral home it self but they never responded. Then when I got my son’s birth certificate which they promised they would help change it still

The female that answers the phone consistently lies about the issues that need to be discussed. She falsified information on the state's death certificate willingly without research for the facts messaging or calling people that have left their number for her to confirm information. Then informs families that to correct the information they need to pay money. At first they told me they couldn't cremate my friend because they hadn't had enough time. Even though my questions were 2 weeks past his death and their possession of his body. Horrible response time after receiving a body and I suspect if

This is the response I received from the owner of the funeral home after voicing my opinion about how I was treated by the owner Paula Cappadona. I definitely will not recommend this business to anyone dealing with a death in their family.
I am sorry you feel this way, Diane. I have had very little contact with you, really only when you came in to… the funeral home the Zach and Shayna. Other than that it had only been in a couple of emails, emails that I was writing to keep you up to date. So as far as being rude and disrespectful, NEVER has anyone ever said this to me. I feel that it is

This place took down my moms obituary due to the fact we had issues with payments they also held her cremations an made it a point not to give them back for three years an that was a hastle still. In the service the lady that spoke on the behalf of capadona said some other persons name when adressing our grieving family two times during the service also in the obituary they posted in the news paper capadona spelled her name wrong. This was all in 2014 when she had passed an still to this day I dont feel any rest in the way they handled our loss. R.I.P Vanessa McGuire

I called and paid all the fees over the phone asked if there was anything else because my mother was in no position to take care of it they said no and mailed my Aunts remains to me. Now they are harassing my mother trying to get more money from her they forged her signature on extra documents sent her to collections and keep harassing her I've never seen a scam like this.

I have been going through this funeral home since 2013. I have never had any horrible experiences until now. This time it involves my son whp i lost during my wifes c section. Unbelievable horrible experience for me and my wife to get closure on our sons cremation and his death certificate. And I'm still waiting for my sons death certificate cause the funeral home is giving me the run around not doing their job and not getting stuff done.

Had loved one's service here and it was a horrible mistake. My uncle was widely loved and had a lot of people trying to send flowers to his service, which are typically delivered 2 hours before the funeral. This place refuses to open their doors until an hour beforehand. I had people calling me all day asking where flowers were supposed to be going, if the service had been moved, if they had the date wrong, etc. All because Cappadonna apparently has more important things to do than be open and accept deliveries on the day of a service. This is the last thing I should have to deal with while grieving

We dealt with Mike, he helped us every step of the way. He was kind, compassionate, answered all of our questions thoroughly. On the day of our funeral, Mike was right there with us. He helped coordinate our family prayer, got us into the room for funeral service. This doesn't maybe sound like much, but with deep grief, his help was vital to the beautiful service we had. I had questions and when I called, he called back with answers and support. I felt like we were his priority, the only family that mattered but I suspect every family felt that.

Bobby and team were AMAZING to work with! My grandfather's death was unexpected and extremely hard on our family. Bobby and his team helped us to hit the "easy button" on so many things so that there was nearly no worries at all. Our family flew in from all over the country and different parts of the world, and Cappadona made it so we could have the funeral in a very timely way as to include the whole family.

They answered every question, every call and helped us work through the questions we asked as well as questions we didn't know to ask. They helped us honor my dad and have stayed in touch with our family. They know how to help you navigate the difficult decisions that come up which allowed our family to focus on loving one another through the most painful time we could have imagined.
Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!

As an out of towner, this was the fourth home I had called to help with my mothers arraignment. Instantly felt this was not just a business but that they would accommodate us. Scott was very helpful and gave information without having to ask for it. Not knowing exactly what to do in regards to moms estate and who needed certificates, Scott help us narrow it down and the home took care of alot as well. The home took care of social security and handled everything with the insurance company. If needed, I would use this home again.

While planning funeral arrangements is a difficult task, the people at Cappadona were kind and compassionate. I was unable to pre-plan; however the process was smooth and I wasn't pushed to purchase more than I needed. My partner passed at home under hospice. His wishes were to be cremated and it was done within a reasonable timeframe. The only negatives I have were (1) when they came to pick him up the gurney they used left grease stains on the carpet and (2) when I requested to see him again I was told it wouldn't be a problem yet they did not say there would be an additional cost

Making arrangements for your husband is not something you expect to do in your 40's. In fact, it probably isn't something that ever crossed your mind. But I found myself having to help my sister through this sad event just this weekend. We wandered in around 11am on Saturday and were informed by the receptionist that they don't normally have anyone available to make arrangements on weekends, but they had a service going on, so she would inquire of the director who said yes, she would meet with us as soon as the service ended (technically, I know, out of her normal work hours).

This funeral home is a joke and big time rip off. Almost all the reviews except a few are friends and family members of the cappadona's that had to recover from a truthful review that was put up in 2013 and had an online service they used to get rid of the bad reviews. They dn't realize that they can use 1 of those services, but 1nce the word is on the internet it is out there everywhere, even if u get rid of it in 1 place, its national and international. The cappadona's milk u for every service off your emotions knowing that money is no option when you're in your time of grief

My 20-year-old brother died in Colorado Springs while the rest of our family was in Virginia. They could not have been more helpful and patient in answering all of our questions, taking multiple phone calls from us early in the morning at late at night. They did a wonderful job with making him look as best as possible under the circumstances.

Excellent customer service. I spent alot of time dealing with this family run funeral home, while setting up my father's memorial service. They we very personable and friendly in helping my family through this difficult time. They did a beautiful job in displaying memories of my father for us. Also they worked closely with us on the details and design of the cards to be handed out to guests.
