“We used Delgado Funeral Chapel when my dad passed away in February 2025. I’ve never had to plan a funeral service before, and the staff at Delgado made this extremely difficult process very effortless. They are caring, knowledgeable, and very responsive to any and all questions me or my family had. Alek was a wonderful resource and her kindness and compassion went beyond measure. I highly recommend them.”
