Funeral Planning & Arrangements

Soy su Abogada (Lisette Sánchez)

We cannot thank this funeral home enough for the incredible care and compassion they showed our family during such a difficult time. From the very first phone call, the communication was outstanding. Lupe was incredibly attentive, kind, and helpful from the beginning, and Shane Lacey, the funeral Director, went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Shane was extremely responsive, but more than that, his communication was proactive — he was constantly following up with us to make sure everything was handled and that we had what we needed. On the day of the service, he was there making sure everything ran smoothly, which gave us so much peace of mind during an emotional day. Even after the service, when Shane was going to be out for a few days, he made sure another staff member was fully informed and ready to assist us with obtaining the death certificates and ashes. That level of organization and care truly stood out. There was a small mishap with the ashes not being divided the way we had requested, but the team addressed and corrected the issue immediately. Most importantly, they made us feel heard and supported every step of the way. The compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail they showed our family were truly exceptional. We are deeply grateful. Thank you for making such a painful experience a little easier to navigate.

Lupe Valdes -Torres was assigned to me. She did an excellent job and went out of her way to assist in any way she could. She is very efficient and was always friendly. Thank you, Lupe, for making such a difficult time a little easier.

My sister died suddenly, and I live out of state. Her friends arranged for Boza and Roel to pick her up and keep her until I could get there to make the arrangements. In such a terrible time, Shane was so wonderful in helping with the arrangements. His kindness and professionalism are so greatly appreciated.

Laura King

Everyone at Boza & Roel is kind to work with. Our funeral director Jacob helped us every step of the way. The spaces inside are kept impeccable, and there are many options to create the service that you want for your loved one. We are so pleased that we chose Boza & Roel for my father’s service.

During such trying and difficult times, working with Jacob for the funeral arrangements of my mother , Alma Monge, was an exceptional experience that i will forever be grateful to him for. From the first consultation to the hardest day of putting my mother to rest , Jacob was very professional,accommodating and helpful. I recommend using Boza Roel for funeral services and especially working with Jacob

Dianne Ventura

From the moment I walked into Boza and Roel Funeral Home, I was treated with the utmost compassion and professionalism. My funeral director, Jacob, was truly amazing—patient, kind, and understanding. I had no idea where to begin with planning my mother’s funeral, but he took his time to walk me through every step, making a very difficult process so much easier. The first day I met with him, I was immediately struck by how bright, welcoming, and beautiful the funeral home is. It made my family and me feel comfortable and at peace. The atmosphere doesn’t feel depressing or heavy—it truly feels like a place created to celebrate life. Every staff member we encountered was caring, respectful, and professional. Because of the experience we had, my family and I all agree that when our time comes, we want to be taken care of by Boza and Roel Funeral Home. They have truly earned our trust and loyalty.

Tracey Ward

I appreciate all of the knowledge, guidance and support Lupe and her staff provided me during this difficult time. You and your staff made every step of the way meaningful and hopeful. The service was absolutely beautiful and everything my dad would have wanted. You and your staff made sure that all My needs were met. Lastly, your attentiveness to my “constant” emails, made me feel like my dad’s service was your only priority. This didn’t go unnoticed and again, I sincerely appreciate everything that Boza&Roel did for my dad‘s service.

Jennifer Whelihan

Boza and Roel provided stellar services for our family when my grandmother passed away. They operate like a local company instead of a corporate one by meeting you where your needs are at and are very accommodating. They helped me by providing what I needed by making my grandmother's funeral extra special. Jake, the funeral director, as well as the team there, are very professional and expeditious in a time where it matters most. I am truly grateful to Jake and Boza and Roel for their great customer service.

I was very fortunate to have been served by Ms Lupe Valdes and other Boza and Roel Funeral Home staff. Ms. Valdes was so empathetic, patient, and caring. My situation was a little complicated but Ms. Valdes was always there for me and my family in Europe and helped us coordinate with different parties to make sure everything go according to plan and in the best possible way for our situation. I would highly recommend Ms. Valdes to all those families who go through difficult times of losing a loved one.

Danny M

Funeral arrangements were handled by Jacob every step of the way. Jacob showcased empathy and worked diligently on all our requests. He truly made this difficult process possible.

Erasmo Pinero

Feedback of Ms. Lupe Valdes services at Boza & Roel Funeral Homes: Ms. Valdes is the consummate professional. Patient, caring, and service oriented, she was a God send to our family in times of need. My situation was somewhat special because I reside in Texas and I was afraid our communication channels would be a distraction and a burden. On the contrary, Ms. Valdes was always there for us and everything went according to plan and as described in the funeral home balance sheet (costs of the funeral). I would highly recommend Ms. Valdes to all those families dealing with the loss of a loved one. Things will be much easier with Ms. Valdes. Good job and well done. Erasmo Piñero (funeral client)

Robert Toledo

Lupe was very thorough and professional. She made the experience less stressful and smooth. I very much appreciate that!

Kevin Robles

We had a very kind and comforting experience with everything at Boza and Roel Funeral Home. Ms Lupe Valdes helped and assisted with every last detail. She was kind and patient and was so helpful with no pressure to get any services we did not want. She was amazing! Not sure we could have gotten everything done without her! God bless Ms Valdes.

Pia Vanlangendonck

I cannot recommend the team at Boaz and Roel enough. During such a horrible time, they walked us through the steps and went above and beyond to ensure my dad had a respectful funeral. Jacob and Lupa were great and we want them to know that they were very much appreciated for all that they did and the support they gave us. Thank you!!!!

Marty Rodriguez

Boza & Roel Funeral home have a special way of caring for your love ones from the first time you dial them, to making arrangements and later parting ways with your loved one. This being my first time losing someone so close to me and having no clue the steps I had to take while being emotionally vulnerable and unknowledgeable, Boza & Roel answered all my questions in detail, while giving me the time to process under all the emotions. Not only did Boza & Roel care for my father but cared for me and my family in the process. Thank you Boza & Roel and Yesi for the professionalism & support demonstrated during the visitation of saying our goodbyes to my father. We greatly appreciate your assistance throughout our most emotional moments and reaching out to me to check in over time. Losing a parent was the worst pain I ever experienced, knowing my father was comfortable throughout the arrangements and now at peace I’m very glad I chose Boza & Roel Funeral Home.

I would like to thank everyone at the Boza & Roel Funeral especially Yesi and Maria from Sunset Memorial. I’ve done several funerals there but this last one, my family and I was not ready for but Yesi, did everything to make things so easy and help us every which way she could

Lucy Sandelin

The Boza name has been a long-time staple in the city of Tampa funeral business - whereas my Mother’s (1987) and Grandmother’s (2012) services were handled meticulous by A.P. Boza and Boza and Roel respectively. So when my Dad’s health started to fail in 2019, he wanted to pre-plan his services so that myself or my brother wouldn’t have to make any painstaking decisions. We easily decided to utilize the Boza and Roel Funeral Home. 4 years ago, I spent over 4 hours with Mary Titmus from Boza and Roel, myself and my Dad vis telephone to get every detail on paper. My Dad felt relieved as well as my brother and myself that everyone was done. Well, Dad passed away a week ago and the process of getting him to the funeral home was seamless. Our director this week was Yessenia Ulloa and she was a pleasure to work with in finalizing all the details that we couldn’t take care of until my Dad had passed. Thank you to Jessie as well as all the staff who handled all the logistics on the day of the services. My Dad looked good and I know he would have given his stamp of approval.

Natalie Aprile

We couldn’t have asked for a better place for my father’s services. Mariah was amazing to work with and really helped us through this process.

Elena Gouel

My mother passed away on March 4, 2023 at the age of 91 and because I don’t live in the state of Florida and she was living in an Assisted Living Facility in Tampa, Florida and was battling dementia for many years, I decided to make funeral arrangements and chose Boza & Roel from the phone because of the good reviews that I read prior to signing a contract which was done all over the phone. Upon her passing I gave the hospital where she was at the time the funeral home information and everything was taking care right away. On March 6th my brother and I went to the funeral home to finalize the details, I can’t say enough good things about Jessenia the funeral director that took care of us. She was very helpful, showed that she really cared and with so much empathy, listened to all we had to say and answered all our questions, we left the funeral home with an immense sense of peace, comfort and trust. It made me feel that I made the right decision choosing them.

LaIndia

January 2023 proved to be a most difficult time for our family. Dreading to have to deal with funeral arrangements, we called Boza and Roel. Arriving at our appointment, you never really know what to expect, but when we were greeted by Lupe, her softness, kindness and overall concern for our family was just what we needed during this painful process. The services provided went smoothly and we had only to concentrate on our family and grieving. Lupe 's attention to detail to remember our loved one was taken care of with love and respect. We could not have asked for a better place and especially a better director to take care of our family. Thank you.

Mari Acevedo

One of our hardest day ever, but they make sure we were very pleased . This funeral home was not only so beautiful but very comforting, and Lupe and her staff were incredible with the funeral service we had. It was very hard for the family and I and she make sure that everything we want it was done, from the casket , flowers , the video , and the way to the end . Thank you so much for everything! I highly recommend

Giselle GRguez

Just wanted to acknowledge the special treatment received from Maria Gonzalez since the very first day that she contacted me to schedule our family's appointment after I had to contact the funeral home following my dad's sudden death. Maria has been very caring and extremely helpful. She has taken care of me and my family with a lot of devotion. I highly recommend her if anyone needs these services. In this kind of situations in which we lose a family member and we do not know what to do, it is extremely important to receive the kind of support that I was blessed to receive from Maria. She has been very caring and loving in our deepest moments of sorrow. Thank you very much Maria Gonzalez. Our family, and specially me, thank you from the bottom of our heart. Giselle Guerra Rodriguez

Rosemarie C

I am thankful to the staff at Boza & Roel Funeral Home for helping my mom, siblings and I navigate through this difficult process after losing a loved one. Our funeral director, Kathryn Cosper, took the time to explain the different service packages and worked with us, answering all questions and concerns we had. The day of the service, as promised, Kathryn was present and assisting with any issues that arose and directing the flow of all family members and friends that were in attendance. The service from start to finish ran smooth. We even had a last minute request for a Sheriff's escort to the cemetery, and Kathryn was able to make it happen. My sincere gratitude to Boza & Roel Funeral Home.

Michael Alvarez

I had my Grandmother actually moved from another funeral home to Boza & Roel after a negative experience at the first funeral home. Everyone at Boza was extremely compassionate and take their work seriously. Our Funeral Director was very knowledgeable and kind. Mr. Michael Murray who took care of us at the actual funeral was nice and helpful everyone complemented the service. I’m sorry to say I never thought there was a difference between one funeral home or another till this experience. I will now recommend Boza to anyone who asks.

Vanessa Wilkins

It’s with great pleasure that we tell Tampa residents the amazing service that Boza & Roel Funeral home gave our Dad, LTC Ralph Delgado Jr. We can’t thank enough Dan Miller & his staff for the way they handled the funeral arrangements for our dad. It was exactly the way our dad wanted it. With a lot of respect and honoring one of the last World War II fighter pilots of the United States. Including Honor guards from MacDill Air Force Base. From all the family & friends of LTC Ralph Delgado Jr. Thank you so much! Richard and Katherine Mudafort

kim weisgal

We came to Boza & Roel on a referral from a dear college and we were not disappointed! The service Mr. Dan Miller, Karen and staff provided my family during this helpless time of need was with compassion and empathy. My husband was proud of his families Ashkenazim Jewish religion and Mr. Miller went out of his way to accommodate this in the ceremony. Karen would call me just to check in. We unexpectedly lost my husband in December as I revisited 3 months later Mr. Miller called me by name, remembered my family and my husbands names, above and beyond. As I was leaving Mr. Miller & Karen reached out to hug me, I could feel their angel wings under their suit coats. My family is very pleased with Boza & Roel and will continue to refer so others can experience the compassion they provided me and my family at our helplessness time of need. The Weisgals

Cristina Pagan

I have to give my sincerest gratitude to Karen De Bruin, Funeral Director. She stands out amongst the rest. The empathy , patience and customer service that she provided was stellar. I will forever be grateful and would certainly recommend Boza & Roel Funeral Home because of her.

Wanda Irizarry

Stellar customer service! My sister and I worked with funeral director Karen DeBruin. Karen was so kind, caring and helpful during the entire process. We also worked with Daniel Miller, and he too was very professional and understanding. I would recommend this funeral home for sure!
