Testimonials

Very compassionate and they helped us to find hard to find items for dad's memorial. Ours was difficult as we had two parents in Hospice at once in two differing locations. We needed to postpone the actual services for a whole year, but they still remembered us and worked right alongside us. They are an Orange treasure.

Shannon family was my second call. The first mortuary was kind enough on the phone, but a little too "business" on the phone. I worked directlynwith Cynthia who was extremely easy to work with and made the process very simple.

Not on ly professional, but personable and empathetic. Even when there was a hiccup with timing and I might have needed to go with another mortuary, she was calm and collected. She made some calls and made sure things were straightned out for my father's services.

Although they are a smaller mortuary, they are huge on personality and professionalism!

I am eternally grateful for the service that Shannon Family Mortuary provided to us. After being in shock at the sudden passing of my uncle, we had no idea where to start. We called several mortuaries trying to find the best one that fit within our budget, and by the grace of God, we found Shannon Family Mortuary advertised on the back of our church bulletin paper. Cynthia was the one who answered and walked us through everything. She explained everything in great detail in English and Spanish, ensuring we knew what steps to take next. She gave us many other resources to help us with our situation that we didn't even know we could get help with. The response time was exceptional; she made sure all of our questions were answered within minutes and was always on hand. Even when we had trouble deciding and emotions were running high, she was still patient and compassionate with us. She went above and beyond and truly looked after us. There was no doubt my uncle was handled with care and respect. With all the uncertainty surrounding the whole event, one thing was for certain, and that was that we could 100% depend on Cynthia and Shannon Family Mortuary. If you are going through something similar or even just planning ahead, you will not regret reaching out to Shannon Family Mortuary.

With the unexpected passing of my stepson, I found myself in need of a mortuary who would take charge and guide me along this very rough journey. After several visits to other mortuaries, I remembered about my professional relationship with Shannon Family Mortuary and called mid morning one day. I was greeted by a pleasant person on the phone, Cynthia who told me to come on by same day to talk about options. Within a couple hours, I was seated in their beautiful building ready to tackle what I thought to be another tough appointment. I was wrong; this was by far the easiest and most comfortable that I felt just by how Cynthia showed genuine care for me and my family. With the guidance of Julie, they both gave me the feeling of relief knowing I would be in good hands with them.

I left that day without committing and after discussing with my husband, I told him this is the one. This is who will help us care for our stepson and help give him the most beautiful celebration; I just know it.

I called Cynthia back a few days later ready to begin. Cynthia was thorough in every detail with me. She would take notes during our meetings and went above and beyond to ensure my concerns and questions were answered fast. Through many decisions she was kind and assured me that his send off would be just as we expected. I’m the type of person who has trouble letting other people manage the details on things, and Cynthia told me, that is what we are here for, I got this for you.

The day of our service Cynthia and Charles ensured everything was perfect for us. Such professionalism with my requests and care with my stepson. They were extra early to ensure it was all set up before I arrived.

Not knowing Cynthia before, I felt like my best friend or a family member was helping me and not a stranger. The weight of emotions from this loss was heavy on our family and Shannon Family Mortuary displayed nothing short of dedication to their excellence and providing us such a memorable positive experience. Julie, Charles and especially Cynthia, thank you simply isn’t enough for how you made us feel so loved! I left your building in tears telling my husband, they were meant to be there for us! I highly recommend Shannon Family Mortuary to be there for you in your time of loss.

I can’t express enough how incredible it was to work with the team at Shannon Family Mortuary. When my mother-in-law passed away this month, planning her funeral and burial felt overwhelming, but Julie at SFM made the entire process so much easier.

Julie was not only professional, organized, and helpful but also deeply compassionate. She immediately put us at ease and patiently answered all our questions, even responding promptly to our many text messages. She also coordinated everything seamlessly, from arranging our meeting at the cemetery to working with the church and burial staff.

On the day of the funeral, the team exceeded all expectations. Pete and Diana were absolutely amazing. Pete’s ability to “read the room” and set the perfect tone for the day was remarkable. Rather than simply giving instructions, he gently guided us through each step, which made all the difference.

Losing a loved one is never easy, but having such caring, attentive, and professional people by our side was truly a blessing. I can’t thank the team at Shannon Family Mortuary enough for their kindness and support during such a difficult time.

I love Shannon Mortuary. The staff there are so helpful and very compassionate. During the planning of my husband's memorial, Julie or Charlie Link were always there to answer my questions, made me feel like family... The chapel and the service were beautiful. I had a priest officiate. His name is Father Mario and he made it seem as if he knew my husband. Again, they made this difficult time into one that I could handle.

Thank you all...

After my father's sudden passing this past Spring, we were referred to Shannon Family Mortuary. My mother and brother were greeted with kindness and treated with nothing but compassion by Julie. She went out of her way to assist with various details, and even contacted the cemetery directly to confirm some specifics for the grave-site vault. Charles was very attentive to my needs, and even called just to check in to see how I was fairing with my grief and stress of our family's loss. Thank you both for making our very hard time as stress free as possible. Our experience was quick and easy, and your generosity will long be remembered.

My family suffered a tragic loss. We then faced many cruel challenges to have my beloved 30 year old granddaughter laid to rest.
Thank goodness for my "history" w/Shannons Family Mortuary, we connected w/Julie Link. Julie compassionately, professionally and expertly supported and guided us throughout the entire process.
On the day of the service, Charles and his lovely assistants provided exceptional, respectful and delicate direction to family and all in attendance as we laid our beautiful girl to rest.
I cannot recommend Shannon Family Mortuary more highly, and cannot thank them enough for their compassionate service.

Shannon Family Mortuary is absolutely amazing. Nearly a year ago, when I was calling around looking into funeral services, I found that the majority of mortuaries have a business as usual style of approach; quite shocking to me, since they are dealing with people in grief. (In fact, one person wanted me to hurry up and book now because she was going on vacation!)
Then I came across Shannon Family Mortuary online and read their rave reviews. So I called them up, and immediately I felt a special connection. Their care, kindness and compassion was genuine and heartfelt; from day one when I met with them in their office to make arrangements to the final day at the beautiful chapel for the memorial service, Shannon Family Mortuary was simply the best.

I am so very happy that a friend of mine recommended Shannon Family Mortuary. I was helped by a super lady named Diana and she made my whole process from beginning to end a stressless event. She provided for me exactly what my wife and I both wanted and explained the whole process to me. My wife paid for her funeral in another state years ago and Diana was able to contact them and transfer the funds for my use, what a relief. The staff that picked up my wife were so professional, respectful and made me feel so much at ease that they were taking care of my beautiful wife. I have nothing but praise for Diana, the staff and Shannon Family Mortuary and what they did for me in my time of need. I thank You All from the bottom of my heart and plan on making advance arrangements for me, so my son can have the same reassurance that you gave to me. Thank You again !!

Where do I even start? What an amazing family owned business, from the initial consultation with Charles listening to all of my concerns and answering all of my questions. I have often heard of great things coming from the Shannon family mortuary but to see it up close and personal I must say they were the most caring, understanding and compassionate people in a most important phase you could ever ask for.
Truly a caring and comforting experience, and that I would highly recommend to anyone in need of their services. Charles, Julie and the entire staff at Shannon Family Mortuary have my highest regards, and I will forever be grateful for their services!
Thank you for all that you do both for the families in crisis and the services you provide, truly a blessing for our community in what I hope are many more years to come.
Sincerely, David Silva.

My father passed away this January and my sisters and I wanted to find to find a perfect and affordable location for his viewing. After visiting three different locations we decided to go with Shannon’s Mortuary. Unlike other locations, to them, this wasn’t just business. They showed so much respect, care, and sympathy, and patience for our family I am so glad we chose them. They made such a difficult process very smooth and they were very thorough while explaining everything. We were very pleased with my father’s viewing in general. He looked very peaceful and nicely dressed with the outfit we chose for him. The chapel they offered was beautiful and it turned out to be a beautiful ceremony. I absolutely love all these girls for taking such good care of us during such a hard time. Highly recommended.

The Shannon Family Mortuary did a wonderful job in guiding our family through this most difficult time. Within 20 minutes of my grandfather's passing, I was able to reach Beka, their Funeral Arrangement Specialist. She was so compassionate with our whole family, especially my grandmother, who has Alzheimers and just lost her husband of 65 years. Beka was incredibly patient as we made decisions, ensuring that my Grandma had the time needed to understand what she was being asked and to express her needs. There was even one point in a conversation where my mom and I were crying, and Beka's compassion showed through as she cried along with us. We felt nothing but respect and compassion from everyone we worked with.

We were impressed at how affordable it was, and how we felt like we were sitting across the table from a friend in their home at the location. When my grandmother passes (which, Lord willing, will be a long time from now), we know who we will turn to for support during that time: Shannon Family Mortuary.

It's always a difficult time when a loved one passes but Charlie and Julie Link made the process as smooth as possible. They are the right combination of professional and compassionate. They went above and beyond to help me plan my Mom's service and I was very happy with the way everything turned out. Recommend them highly!!

Shannon Family Mortuary exceeded our expectations. We were walked though each decision that needed to be made with patience and gentleness.
Some decisions take a bit of time and thought, and we were awarded the time we needed with out any urgency at all. Shannon's sent us material on line that we requested to make final choices and they were available immediately on the phone whenever we called to ask questions. The day of the funeral they were there until our loved one's casket was in the grave orchestrating to make sure everything went correctly. They were a huge support, professional yet very compassionate and kind. Shannon's Family Mortuary seems exactly like a family that was helping our family. We highly recommend them.

I have not had my loved ones services yet. I know that I am in the hands of a more than competent team lead by expert funeral director Julie Link.
I honestly do not know how anyone can get through such a difficult-life-altering-loss without the professionalism of Shannon Family Mortuary.
If you want a company who will provide the services you need. Give yourself some peace and choose Shannon Family Mortuary to handle the details at a more than fair price. It is sad how a lot of other local mortuary's up-charge for everything. A lot of these businesses unfortunately are in the death business purely for profit.

Great company and family run. Zary and Julie have been really helpful and they have a new feature where they can coordinate to have a service with a couple local churches so you can have up to 250 guests. Most of the places we called would give us only an hour and had room for up to 60 people. This place was able to do up to a 3 hour service and the folks seemed to really care. I called so many mortuaries and several folks said "Sorry for your loss, burial or cremation?" And you could tell they were just checking boxes. I was new to this process and Shannon was really patient, responsive and helpful even though we were on a very limited budget and had a lot of questions about the process. Highly recommend 10/10!

When our father passed away we called multiple mortuaries to see how to best arrange his funeral and Shannon Family Mortuary stood out from all the others from our initial calls so we went with them and are glad we did. My entire family was so impressed with this mortuary. They worked with different family members and even extended family to set everything up and they were consistently kind, patient, and professional.

I know setting up funeral arrangements for a family member, especially if it is sudden can feel unreal and you may wish to just make one call and feel confident that you are calling the right place. In my opinion, if you just make one call then Shannon Family Mortuary is a good one, and I would recommend them to anyone, our experience was a positive one and they helped coordinate everything from picking up the body, selecting the casket and flowers, arranging the funeral mass with our church and the service with the cemetery. They really helped us during this difficult time and we appreciate it.

We worked with Shannon Family Mortuary when our father passed away unexpectedly. Julie Link was our primary point of contact, but all of the staff we met and spoke with provided a sincere, professional and compassionate service.

Julie walked us through the entire process and was extremely communicative every step of the way. Her genuinely personable approach made this an incredibly smooth process. Mortuary and cremation services were uncharted territory for us, so it was wonderful to have Julie and the team in our corner.

Additional positives/info:

-We were able to use DocuSign for all of the necessary documents, so everything was done within minutes.

-The price on the website was what we paid plus some additional costs for additional death certificates and mileage for transportation (both very reasonable).

Julie and Charlie at Shannon family mortuary were God sent. At the most difficult time, losing our father, we did not know where to start. Julie and Charlie put our minds to ease planning our fathers memorial service. They made us feel very comfortable with our decisions, from picking a casket to flower arrangements, urns etc... They took such good care of our Father. The whole team at Shannon family mortuary were amazing. We were never waiting on any updates, we were always informed at all times. We can not thank them enough. Shannon family mortuary was the family place for us. We Love you guys. Thank you Julie, Charlie, and the whole team at Shannon family mortuary...

We came to Shannon Family Mortuary after the passing of our grandson last year and the level of care and compassion we received was unparalleled. We have used Shannon services before (many times over the past decade) and I can tell you whole-heartedly that the concern and sensitivity manifested by Charlie and Julie, during the most difficult of times for our family, was amazing. Great communication and professionalism in dealing with our needs. Thank you so much for going above and beyond, in taking care of us.

Absolutely Outstanding. Charles and Julie took care of every single detail when my father passed. When I was overwhelmed with emotion and there is so much to handle, it was very comforting to know that I had these experienced and compassionate people in my corner. It felt like they were part of our family. They treated my father with the utmost respect, and that really meant a lot to me. When you find yourself in the scenario when you need this service, it's important to have the right guidance. These two are a great team!
