Alfred Villoch

Shane Lacey at Boza & Roel provided exceptional service during one of the most difficult times for my family. He made the entire process easy and treated us with genuine compassion. Shane was always available, whether by phone, email, or even drop-ins, and he accommodated every personal request without hesitation and with care. He ensured we had meaningful time with my father before and after the visitation, and we never felt rushed. Everything he promised was delivered, and his guidance and experience were evident every step of the way. In a time when true customer service often feels lost, Shane and Boza & Roel stand apart. I wholeheartedly recommend them to family and friends, and they have truly earned my lifetime of trust and business.

Response from owner

Alfred. Thank you very much for your kind words about your experience working with us and our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. We appreciate you choosing us to care for your loved one and we are so honored to have been able to serve you. We truly value family feedback like yours. Thank you again.

Kenna Thi Le

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.

Response from owner

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience, Kenna. We’re so grateful to hear that our staff provided the care, patience, and support you and your family needed, especially with the complexities of your situation.

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)

Response from owner

Thank you for your heartfelt feedback. We’re grateful to hear that we provided such professional, patient, and caring service during your time of need. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to us, and we’re honored to have been able to support your family.

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!!!!

Response from owner

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.
