Three years ago today, my family and I had the honor of laying to rest my beautiful mother. Our director was non other than Julissa Vega. What an outstanding individual to assist during this sensitive time of transition. What a combination of expertise combined with a genuine sense of spiritual care. My mother would have loved Julissa very much. My father and I thank her dearly and think the world of her also. Hats off to Angelus by employing the very best and giving their very best to and for a beloved woman of the community. My mother’s life is celebrated today and everyday thanks to Julissa and Angelus funeral services. Regards and thank you.

Ms. Julissa, with warmest thanks...How thankful the heart that is touched by the thoughtfulness of another. Just saying "thank you" does not seem enough. Hope you know how much your thoughtfulness is appreciated.

Dear Angelus Team, I would like to Thank You All for the care and compassion you showed my niece (Jovanna Noel Lee), and our family. Your level of professionalism, knowledge, planning, and execution was much needed and VERY much appreciated in our time of need. It was a pleasure meeting and chatting with you all...you treated us like family and you will forever be a part of ours. Sincerely, Kevin Carr (uncle Kevin).

We laid my husband to rest on Thursday of this week. It was a military funeral and I must say that Angelus staff worked well with the Sheriff’s office at the church without any problems whatsoever. The staff felt like my real family. They took care of us with loving kindness and felt as though they were truly extended family. Communication was constant and clear. From our first meeting to the actual day of laying my husband to rest, I felt enveloped within the arms of angels here on earth. They helped to turn a usually very sad event into a day of celebration of my husband’s life. He was a Marine Captain and a Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Our service was coordinated perfectly and Angelus contributed much to the other friends and family comfort and sharing of stories. I felt that we had honored my husband as a team, Angelus, church, family and friends. I will recommend their services to any and all who sadly require their services. I do so from an experience that my family rates top notch. They are family owned and nothing seemed stiff as you might find in a larger corporate environment. Thank you, Julissa. The hardest day of my life was transformed into one of celebration and joy.

Dear Julissa, I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude for your selfless and compassionate efforts in helping us to hold a dignified military funeral service for my father, Bobbie L. Ward. Your attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment were unparalleled and deeply appreciated. We thank you for standing by us during this difficult time. And we are incredibly grateful for all that you have done to ensure that our father had a meaningful and memorable funeral service. From the dressing of his favorite suit to his meticulous haircut, your dedication and hard work was very essential in making the day perfect, despite the challenging circumstances I had to face. Thank you for your invaluable contributions in honoring my dad’s life. We all are deeply thankful for you and your fellow Funeral Directors and especially your Limo / Hearst drivers for the professionalism that was displayed throughout the entire process. They both were very patient and understanding with all of us and we thank both of them as well.

July 07, 2022

Hello Julissa, thank you again so very much for all that you and your funeral home has done for our family. Words will never suffice. I believe God puts angels in our paths to remind us of His plan, and that it is still working for our good today. We came to you with no hope and left Angelus with more hope than you could ever imagine, being able to bury Dad with the dignity and respect he so deserved. Money and costs were never a priority, but more so meeting the needs of our hearts. For that, we are eternally grateful. Thank you for also bearing with us. Thank you for listening to mom in her trial and the most hardest time for her, you were calm, professional, yet compassionate, and very understanding and accommodating. That speaks volumes. The list goes on and on. Your boss and the owner of Angelus really should see this message and know that he truly has the perfect person in your role and I'm sure you have blessed countless families with your understanding and grace. May God always provide Angelus Funeral Home with a thriving business that allows you all to continue to serve and touch the lives of so many families like ours with profound possibilities to send off our loved ones whom we've lost along the way in the most dignified manner, one filled with the utmost love and Grace. We will always recommend you all. I apologize for the drawn out message but I'm not sorry for taking the opportunity to thank a woman who will always hold a special place in our hearts. Again, we are beyond grateful. May God bless you always.

I would recommend " Angelus Chapel Funeral Directors & Crematory" located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. When I think of "EXCELLENCE, PROFESSIONALISM, KINDNESS, PATIENCE, and RESPECT, I Think Of Miss Julissa Vega, Manager and Funeral Director of Angelus Chapel. I am truly amazed and grateful for her dedication, positive attitude and attention to detail. Julissa has truly left a lasting and memorable impression on me. My Brother received and was given the Extraordinary RESPECT, ATTENTION and CARE while at Angelus Chapel. Julissa was always available for questions, concerns and remained in contact with me, by phone or text to explain arrangements or details relating to my Loved One. She would respond immediately. THAT IS AMAZING!!! Julissa contacted the Veteran Cemetery and scheduled the date and time for the services for my brother. Julissa made certain that my brother received "Military Honors " no details were overlooked or omitted. My Brother(Loved One) was an Air Force Veteran. Julissa truly treated my Brother as he was a member of her own family. I am forever grateful for that. The ultimate goal was accomplished. Julissa's willingness to go over and beyond to assist us with this difficult life event, will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN !!! She worked tirelessly and achieved a successful and positive experience for myself and the family. I would recommend ANGELUS CHAPEL for your loved ones needs. THANK YOU JULISSA!!!! A TRUE TESTAMENT TO CARING, SERVICE AND Wonderful representation for Angelus Funeral Chapel. FIVE STARS . Angelus Chapel Funeral Directors is a Company You can Trust and Depend on. Thank You.

We were not sure which funeral home to take our Loved one. After many experiences with funeral homes. I wanted to make sure we had a place that was compassionate, understanding, and professional. We met with Julissa at first and we did not know what to expect out of her. We were very pleasantly surprised on how blessed we were to be able to have her care for our loved one. If you are looking for a place that will treat your loved one with dignity and respect this is the place. This began to be clear to us once she started working for us. She paid so much attention to detail. We actually gave her some wrong information. Julissa doubled check everything with us to make sure it was correct. She was able to catch our mistake and get it fixed at the last minute. She was able to make a lot happen in a short period of time. She is a very hard worker and it shows through her efforts. We also had the opportunity to meet Frank, the owner. He also did everything he could to make sure we were happy. He even brought out caskets from the back so we could get an upfront look. Once again we felt so blessed to be in Angelus care. If you ever have to consider a place remember you cannot go wrong with Angelus Chapel. All you have to do is get Julissa give her the information she ask for and be open about what you want then trust her to take care of your loved one. Thanks again for Angelus Chapel.

Julissa did an amazing job in putting Alvin Service together. She made us feel at ease and always reassured us that she would do her best to bring everything together. She did more than that. She went above and beyond our expectations and we are so appreciative. Thank you for making us feel like family and that we mattered. She was so professional and yet she made it personal. Words cannot express how grateful we are to her and the staff at Angelus. Thank you for everything. All the best to you.

Family is the first word that comes to mind when we think of Angelus Chapel Funeral Directors & Crematory. The care and consideration of every person for our family was incredible. Honestly, it has to be said that there was not a single detail that was missed. Julissa guided us through the process and even shared why she is passionate about helping each and every family. As we listened to her words it touched our hearts deeply to know that our loved one would not just be a body passing through but would become a part of their hearts as they pass into the process that allows the family to say goodbye. In this lifetime, rarely have I ever experienced such compassion. Any details we as a family may have overlooked, were covered by the staff, they were considerate of every aspect. They provided for us in ways that I simply do not believe anyone else would do. The kindness and hope offered at such a difficult and tragic time made a lasting and never forgotten difference in our lives. It is with our whole hearts that we express our sincerest gratitude for the exceptional service and gestures of love they gave to our family. We will never forget Julissa, Frank, Jerry and all of the staff members who touched our lives during this time and we hope you will never forget how much you have all meant to us. I assure anyone looking for your loved one a place of peace and rest, that the exemplary staff and beauty of the establishment at Angelus is where you will want to be! Thank you to our extended family at Angelus!

Angelus Chapel Funeral Directors shine through time and time again. As an Army Professional and business owner and clergy in this community, not only have I referred military Families in my profession, I've referred civilian Families. I have many times, been at that table with my Family. Frank, Julissa, Thomasina, Sonia, Vero, Jerry and supporting staff, thank you. I can't express in words and I come to tears every time I reflect on this team and the difference I've seen them make with all Families. They care. They address the difficult tasks that must happen, they simplify the process, they cover all aspects of responsibility and every single Family I have attended that initial meeting with, somehow, you see relief on their faces and without any exaggeration, smiles and laughter of memories begin to bloom from the Family from the middle to the end of the session. They are well versed in accessing insurance and other benefits. Military and Veteran benefits for final arrangements is a priority for them, to the point that they are directly linked to the Casualty offices, National Cemeteries, the VA and they have sat down with military Families who soon realize after intervention with these funeral directors, they have fewer expenses and someone to access those benefits for them. From being in the presence of the coroner and contacting Angelus Chapel Funeral Directors, care begins at that hospital, home or other place where they begin caring for your loved one. You are in good hands, they genuinely care.

Very caring, professional and diverse staff. Clean from top to bottom. There are SO many ways to bury a loved one from traditional to cremation they have something for everyone. In the front is Thomasina, she's amazing and should get a raise. So thoughtful and sweet. They not only have a chapel for the service but also a room for the repass with a kitchen. The bathrooms are clean and there's always some soft music playing. The handle every type of funeral from traditional to military to foreign. They have Spanish speaking employees for your needs as well. The chapel is beautiful and seats 215 people. I can't say enough good about this place. Check out my videos and pictures on Google Maps for more insight. (mcdavis)

I lost my mom on September 27 2019. I had no idea what to do as far as planning or services or anything, I barley had a clue what she (my mom wanted) but going to Angelus Fuberal Directors was the BEST idea I've ever had in my life. Franklin McCulley is the best, he is patient, kind, strong, and I can't stress enough patient. He even lowered the prices of my moms service to something affordable for me (my family wouldn't help). I seriously would not know what to do without him or his staff. They took such good care of my mom Julia McNeal. Ms Sonjia did a wonderful truly wonderful job picking out the funeral program colors, Ms Thomasina talked with me for a long-time on just the subject of how I am feeling and my mom's personality (she didn't even know my mom). Mr V did a fantastic job with my moms hair and cutting some off for my keepsake even though she was being cremated he still made sure she was presentable for us to see her one last time. Kinsley played her favorite songs and made her service a truly memorable one. Angelus Funeral Directors are amazing at what they do and they take so much pride in their work and it shows. Thank you all for helping the worst moment of my life a tad bit easier, you all did right by me and my mom Julia L McNeal. Thank you.

I had no idea what to do after my mother took her last breath. I just turned 27 this year and she had just turned 55, I never imagined having to plan her funeral so soon. We went to multiple funeral homes in the springs and all that I felt Was no compassion money hungry people. That is until I called angelus and finally felt relief to hear Thomasina’s warm and inviting voice through the phone. We didn’t have an appointment but she told me to head right over so I did. From the minute we walked in I knew this was the place! The lobby was so clean and you could tell that the staff took pride In it. Thomasina came out and her energy gave me so much joy and peace which is crazy after crying for days on end!! We then sat with Liz who was so kind and discussed pricing in such a non-sales way. Which by the way their pricing is much better than anyone we went to in the springs so you should just stop searching now. I later met with Frank for the final Touches and he listened to many stories I had about mom and he never made me feel rushed! The service was beautiful, the staff gave us space but also made sure we knew that we could come to them for anything. Loosing a loved one will never be easy and nobody tells you that your going to have to put your grieving on pause while you panic about funeral arrangements and costs. I cannot stress how important it is to find a genuine staff like Frank’s during this tragic time, they have been in our shoes and they understand! Thank you so much for everything Frank and team!

On behalf of the Giles family, we would like to thank Franklin McCulley and the Angelus Chapel staff, for taking excellent care of us during our time of bereavement. You exhibited the upmost professionalism and compassion. You demonstrated a high level of patience, putting my family at ease, as we navigated this process for the first time. You took care of every detail and the service was beautiful. I cannot thank you enough for all you’ve done and continue to do for us. You were comforting and encouraging...and that speaks highly of your moral character as business professionals and personally. Thank you for going above and beyond to help us lay my husband, Mark Giles, Sr. to rest with dignity and honor. Blondell Giles and Family August 20, 2019

On behalf of the Dunlap family, I would like to take the time to thank Angelus Funeral Directors (Frank and all of the staff) for not only their service to our family, but the sincere compassionate and caring attitude they extended to us during our difficult time of grief and loss of my father. It is one thing to have a pledge, but it was very much evident that Angelus makes every effort to live their pledge; "to serve every family as if they were our own, to treat every woman as if she were our own mother or sister, every man as if they were our father or brother." I am very much appreciative of the support and guidance that Frank gave me and our family from day one; through the funeral service and even today, I know that I can call Frank with any question and he will go above and beyond to help me. All of the staff that we came into contact with from when we walked in the door, staff for the viewing, the drivers, etc., were very compassionate and professional. They always asked was there anything we needed. This extended to how they took care of my father in preparing him for his final rest. Frank would refer to him as "dad"; which meant to me that is how he seen my father. Truly first class people.

The Hunt Family would like the Angelus Chapel Family to accept our gratitude for everything you did for our beloved mother's home-going celebration, by easing the stress, and tension during our time of mourning. A very heartfelt special Thank You to the Angelus Staff (Thomasina) and especially Frank, he was very emphatic, compassionate and professional. It's hard losing a loved one, but especially hard when it's your mother. We're very thankful that our mother was well taken care of, they live and breathe their pledge, in part, "to treat every woman as if they were our Mother or Sister." They made the process seamless. Frank took his time with our family as we had many questions, we never felt that he rushed us and welcomed questions any time during the planning. Words can’t express the superb customer service we received from the time we walked in the door, preparing our mother, everything in between, and to her final resting place. To be in this business it takes special types of people and The Angelus Family has what it takes, we are forever grateful! The Funeral Home is beautiful, clean, very inviting and comfortable, it smells good when you walk in; you can tell they take pride and invest back into their facility. The staff is very caring, helpful, gave hugs and went above and beyond to make sure we had what you needed to be satisfied. We would highly recommend Angelus to any family that needs their type of service. A profound thank you to the entire Angelus Chapel family and Thank you again for all that you do for families!

Words simply cannot express our family's gratitude for everything Angelus Chapel did to make our mother’s homegoing as comforting and uplifting as possible. From the pre- arrangements, to the actual day of the funeral, the entire staff assured that “every detail” was addressed per our wishes. During what was a stressful and difficult time for our family, Angelus Chapel relieved us of those heavy burdens. Any question asked, or task requested, was met with a compassionate and immediate response. Everyone, from the Director’s, to the receptionist and the young man who offered us water, was thoroughly and genuinely understanding and professional. Angelus stands true to their declaration, as they treated both our father in February 2010; and our mother January 2018, as if they were their own family. We cannot convey enough, that our loved ones were handled with dignity, class, and empathy. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Angelus Chapel family! Sincerely, ~The Family of Mrs. Jannette Seals

I want to communicate to the staff at Angelus regarding the excellent customer service my family received following the death of my wonderful mother. Everyone was so professional and compassionate, and Clarica (Reese) went above and beyond taking us step by step through this difficult process. Her understanding of the burial process and her patience is something my family will always be grateful for. I would recommend Angelus to any family that will need this service. Thank you.

Exceptional, Heartfelt,Attentive, Patient,Accommodating, Sincere Care is the services our family received from the Angelus Chapel Funeral Directors who so graciously prepared recently both our Parents Alvin T. & Marie Robinson to rest. Our beloved father past in March and then our beloved Mother in June 2016. When the Funeral Director Franklin whom is also our family, looked me in my eyes and said, "I will take very good care of your Father and then as well for your Mother", that put a very needed ease to my heart. All of Angelus Chapel's accommodations are phenomenal. Their state of the art facility is absolutely beautiful and has a comfort of peace. Being able to have the Funeral and the repass both at the Funeral Chapel location so elegantly went very smoothly. To top it off, having a Playroom for the kids to keep them occupied was brilliant. Frank your patience and care in all aspects of this process allowed a calm to our grieving hearts and Rev. Turner, your unnerving care accommodating the every need request by the family is truly appreciated. All of the staff that were involved with our family showed sincere care for our Parents special event of celebrating their life. The Robinson & Pearson Family Connect express our Deepest Appreciation and Thanks. My God continue to Bless your establishment with the outstanding services provide in taking care of people so gracefully who are being laid to their finally resting place..

I had to take the time out to let people know how wonderful the service at Angelus was. My family and I lost my baby sister unexpectedly. It was a very hard time for my brother-in-law and family to deal with. Not ever dealing with planning a funeral it was overwhelming. We were given a list from the military hospital that did not have Angelus on it, but we heard about there service and decided to give them a try. OH MY LORD What an experience! They made everything so easy to do,they were there every step of the way. I've never seen a funeral home that was so organized, caring, loving,understanding and together. Every person (employees) from the front door to the rear was awesome. They did such a wonderful job on my sister and was with us from the beginning to the end. It was a hard time for my family but they made things so much easier for us. I never want anyone to have to go through that but its a part of life for us all. I want everyone to know that Angelus is a FIVE STAR MINISTRY. You guys are awesome and keep up the awesome work you do. I can't think of anything that needs to change....you guys are AWESOME! God Bless you all for what you do.

Being from Waco, TX I had no clue who to depend on for the preparations and interment of my brother Ke'Arre Stewart who I lost in the Planned Parenthood Shooting. I was referred to Angelus Chapel from numerous individuals for a plethora of reasons and I'm glad I chose this particular mortuary. Frank and his staff worked promptly and exceptionally well. Mr. Frank McCulley is a very understanding and intuitive person who eased the grief, stress, and tension during a time of great mourning. I believe Frank made crucial and clutch decisions that helped my family a lot. I'm very thankful that my brother was taken well care of and not rushed. So if you ever get time to read this, Frank I truly appreciate your work and the servitude of your staff unto my family. May your excellence continue to draw in good business and thankful clients. Thanks again, Leyonte Chandler

It meant so much to me coming in from out of town, not knowing anyone, that Mr. McCulley was very sympathetic, patient and understanding, made sure all arrangements were handled with extreme care and professionalism, and made sure all of my questions and concerns were answered and all of my needs met. The viewing and services were beautiful. I know my Uncle Jack would agree. Especially since we had a very short window of time to plan everything, Frank and Angelus Chapel worked diligently, 24/7, to get it done. Thank you ever so much. Best wishes and blessings always.

On behalf of myself and the family of my mother Essie M. Howell I must thank Mr. Frank McCulley and the entire Angelus Chapel staff for the very beautiful, respectful and glorious services for my mother. This has been the most challenging time of my life and words are not created to tell you how this feels yet, Mr. McCulley was sympathetic, patient, professional and understanding from the 1st call at 4 a.m. on May 25th to the last handshake on June 13th. Every concern, question and challenge was met with a positive response by him and or his staff. My mother was prepared with respect and was as beautiful at this final earthly visit as she was in life. The services from the viewing to the time of the funeral was wonderful. Such care was taken of my mother as well as myself and our family as they can from all over the country, flowers, cards and calls that we could not have asked for more. We had church and not a funeral for my mother and I am very sure that for those of us who are of the "left behind group" we are sure to see momma again at the great Coronation. Superior care was taken with privacy, financial information, family dynamics and so much more that we could not have asked for more . Thank you again Angelus Chapel Funeral directors and staff the Howell, Avinger and Spencer family are very pleased and pray that God continues to bless you individually and in this business.
