Ferrara Colonial Mortuary

My mother died and we had to have a funeral here in the United States and then ship her body to the Phillipines for another funeral and burial. The people at Ferrara arranged everything including the flight. We had a private viewing in their chapel for our family and a mass next door at the church. My mother arrived safely in Manila and the burial was perfect. They are so kind at Ferrara we thank God for their help. Pros: Excellent Service more

This funeral home handled my mother several years ago. I dealt with the owner who was very kind and compassionate. The service was wonderful. My Father passed away recently in a neighboring county. I called to see if they could reccomend someone. I spoke to the son of the owner who was very kind and compassionate. I ended up feeling so comfortable that I decided to do the service in Orange County. I am glad I did. Once again their work was superb. Their staff and family were so kind. Our friends who made the drive also said the service was perfect My parents are now buried together. I am glad I came back. The drive was more than worth it. Pros: Their people Cons: none that I know of more

My father died in December. This funeral home has helped us many times. They knew money was tight for us and they still provided us with excellent service. i can not thank them enough for all they have done. Pros: The staff, especially Joe more

A family member passed away and I looked around for a good deal. I wanted a simple cremation and found that the price varied widely. I spoke to a few places and Ferrara Mortuary had the best combination of price and professionalism. Some places like Fairhaven and Neptune were really expensive, and some places like Shannon Bryan and Omega did not make me comfortable. I received the ashes back in less than a week and eveything has been up front, easy and inexpensive. Can't ask for much more than that.\r \r Pros: PRICE more

Ferrars Colonial Mortuary has always served our local Vietnamese community and church. They have always been gracious to us and this time was no exception. They were kind and caring. Our service was very early in the morning and they had eveything ready by 5 am. The service was beautiful and sad. The director Joe was so kind and caring. They were also very affordable. We were going to get a casket somewhere else but Ferrara's price for the same one was lower. We will not go anywhere else.\r Pros: Friendly to Vietnamese community more

We thought we had to have a cremation because we had no money. This place gave us a full burial for the same price others charged for cremation. The pople are very cool and their place is very nice. Good people. Pros: Price and service Cons: No eating in their church more

A friend of mine committed suicide soon after returning from Iraq and I attended the service at Ferrara Colonial Mortuary. I helped my friend's family with the arrangements and was really impressed with the director there. The director Joe was really compassionate and arranged things so that it was affordable. We opted for a cremation but Joe arranged a chapel service in their facility with full military honors. They had the 21 gun salute and taps right there at the chapel on the premises. The Marines folded the flag and presented it to my friends mom and I wept like a baby. He collected the emty shell casings and presented it to my friend's dad. He hugged Joe and I could see that that affected Joe as well. Eveything went like clockwork. It was a beautiful service. Unfortunately I have attended a lot of services. This is the one I will remember. The respect, care, professionalism and kindness far surpassed any of the other services I have attended. I seem to have been in every funeral home in town. This one is the best by far. Semper fidelis brother.\r \r Pros: Care and compassion more

Ferrara Colonial Mortuary was a center of calm during the crisis that befell us. When everything was chaos they stayed calm and caring. Under these crazy and sad circumstances their professionalism really came through. Simply the best I have dealt with. Their manager handled everything personally. He was always on top of every little thing. I am sure we were a major headache, but he treated us like family. Thank you. Pros: The staff Cons: Long drive, I live in Los Angeles more

A very nice place filled with caring professionals. The service I attended was beautiful. The staff was wonderful and everyone appreciated their kindness. The people there are truly good. I appreciate what they do so much more now. Pros: Joe, he was wonderful more

I went there to pre-arrange my own services. I am not dying, just putting things in order along with a trust etc. They were fantastic. Honest, professional, caring. You hust don't see this kind of service anymore. They were fair and up front. They offered to come to my home but I wanted to see the place. Its very nice. An oasis in the hills of Orange. I strongly recommend them. Pros: Fair pricing, honesty Cons: a little hard to find more

Ferrara Colonial Mortuary handled the cremation of a family member. We wanted something very simple with no big funeral. They were very pleasant and made the entire process simple. We had a private viewing in their nice little chapel and my mom was cremated. It was very affordable. About half what I expected and a lot less than some places we called. Great service. Pros: professional and warm service more

These folks were so wonderful when we needed them. No pressure, no sales pitch just caring people. They carried everything off without a hitch and were affordable too. A far superior experience to what we had gone through with another funeral home in Orange. Their director was so knowlegeable about eveything. He was very thorough withought being confusing. He took his time with us and that meant a lot. We lost a child and were completely lost. They helped and kept in contact too. Simply the best. Pros: Superior sevice and incredible kindness more

A really outstanding place. They really helped us through a tough time. I highly reccomend them. We had a cremation but they made it very special for us. We did not know that we could have a service first, and they really came through for us. Pros: Everything more

Ferrara Mortuary is a nice peaceful place in Orange. It is near my church. My father passed away this year and the handled the funeral for us. They were very honest and understanding. We had purchased a coffin at another place last year and Ferrara had no problem with having it delivered to them. Unlucky for us Ferrara had the same casket cheaper than we paid for it. They were so kind and patient with us. We never felt rushed or pressured. We had used another mortuary in Orange when my mother died 2 years ago. The people at the other place were rude and cold. We went to Ferrara because we did not want to go to them again. They are near the circle which is closer to us, but their people were like salesmen. The people at Ferrara were kind and considerate. Their pricing was better too. We were short on money and they worked out a nice service we could afford. Thank you Ferrara Mortuary. Pros: The people, pricing, kindness, professionalism, knowledge Cons: nice chapel but a little small more
