Shrine of Remembrance

My mother passed away and the Shrine of Remembrance did an excellent job taking care of my father and I. Their Olympian Plaza Reception Center (which is directly across the street from the main chapel, crematory, and mausoleum) is exquisite. The food and facility is excellent. I also learned they have been hosting the Pikes Peak Jazz and Swing Society there every second Sunday of the month for over 15 years. Its comforting knowing that the cremation is done on property by their staff - unlike other crematories my friends and relatives have worked with in the past. Their director Matthew, staff, and chefs took the time to properly serve our family and gave my father peace of mind during a difficult time. I have been to other funeral parlors and receptions and they just do not compare. I would highly recommend their services.

Through the years I've attended many funerals at several different funeral homes in and around Colorado Springs. The Shrine of Remembrance stands out from the rest. After attending another service there recently, I engaged one of their staff members and asked a few questions as I was curious what they do to make it so very special. The biggest take away was learning that the vast majority of the funeral homes in the area are owned by corporations from out of state. The Shrine of Remembrance as a family owned and operated funeral home has the ability to be much more flexible in serving the needs of the families they serve. In fact, there are three generations of the family members working there. If you know anything about small family run businesses, you know this is a rarity. The other important take away was that The Shrine of Remembrance cares for the departed in house, meaning weather the request for the departed is to be buried in a casket or cremated, the preparation and care f

Staff, especially Matthew was very caring and patient with my family as we navigated the loss of a loved one. I will forever be grateful for them and would recommend their services!
