Feedback From Our Families

Nick Lituanio

Really responsive and professional. I was looking for information on some family members who are in interned at the Italian cemetery and working with staff was easy.

Donna Montalbano

I contacted The Italian Cemetery today for information on an ancestor. Troy Milan was a wealth of information about burial cards and next steps in finding additional leads through the Colma Historical Society. He provided telephone number, email and website information. He even walked to my ancestor's gravesite to see if there was a monument with dates, etc. He went above and beyond to help me. I really appreciated his time and extra effort. Donna Montalbano

You were so easy to work with, and very accommodating. You were a great help in coordinating with the mortuary and me, on behalf of my elderly client, whose son died unexpectedly. Thank you very much.
