“On behalf of the Garcia Family, we would like to express our most sincere gratitude for Romero Funeral Home in handling the arrangements for our late husband and father, Dr. Salomon Garcia. Phenomenal doesn’t even begin to describe the services provided by Eli, Vanessa, and Sylvia. Their empathy, compassion, kindness, and professionalism were of great comfort during this exceedingly difficult time of loss. Their thorough communication and explanation of all processes step-by-step greatly assisted us. Since we were traveling from out of town, they went above and beyond to ensure all was taken care of without issue. Thank you so much. The Garcia Family”
“The owner is very compassionate in our time of need for my father! Very professional and trustworthy. Definitely recommend for anyone who needs their services.”
“The Romeros are my family, sadly I attempted to reach out so I speak the Romero family so I could send my condolences, the granddaughter who answered was the rudest person. All I was attempting to do was ask if I could possibly speak to my cousin Donnie, whose mother has just recently passed and they were doing the services in Alamosa and all I heard was Leonard my grandfather and you don’t know who you’re speaking to. I’m a sixth generation family member of the Espinoza & Romero and Dual blood family member, I will never be treated like that by any family member she treated me like I was nobody. I tried to explain that to her, but she was adamant that she handles all these calls. Never have I felt disgusted and disrespected.”
“A big thank you to Vanessa and Eli, they were the greatest help during this difficult time. The empathy and compassion given felt like they were part of our family. They kept in contact and never skipped a beat. Our family is very appreciative, their professionalism is outstanding. I highly recommend Romeros for the care of a loved one. Thank you again Vanessa and Eli ♡”
“I truly cannot say how much I have appreciated Vanessa and her team. I have worked with her three different times and each time she has been so compassionate during such difficult times. Her knowledge and patience is so invaluable when leading us through each of the processes. She has stressed how important it is to approach each family member personally and not like a “package deal” like other funeral homes I have had to work with. She is so caring and sensitive, and I can honestly say she was an absolute blessing each time she helped us.”
How to request military funeral honors
By law (10 U.S.C. § 1491), an eligible veteran's funeral can include, on request, an honors detail of at least two service members who fold and present the U.S. flag to the family and play Taps. The funeral director usually makes the request and will need the veteran's DD214 or other discharge papers.
VA suggests asking at least 48 to 72 hours before the service. More on what honors include and how to request them.
