Apollo Funeral Service

My Father in law passed away recently and I called several funeral homes, they all were pretty impersonal and hard to speak with. When I found Apollo on Google and spoke with Donna, I was immediately put at ease. She was fantastic to speak with and very sweet but not fake like the others. They were able to meet our immediate needs and were even a bit less pricey. When we met with Miles for the first time, he was so professional yet very comforting for my family. He helped us every step of the way and made this sad process a little more bearable. Thank you so much for being so wonderful to my family!

I cannot emphasize how great Miles was during my father’s passing. He is the epitome of a professional. Not only is he very respectful but also very compassionate. We can be demanding customers and Miles exceeded all of our expectations. He was thorough explaining all of our options, upfront about his pricing, and excellent in delivering what he promised. In the end, we were able to honor my father during his passing in a respectful and very affordable way. This would have been very difficult to accomplish in the short time period we had to prepare without the expertise, compassion, and professionalism of Miles Harford. I cannot recommend him enough! Miles is now a part of our family and we will keep him close for those unfortunate moments when his services are needed.

So, when my brother passed away unexpectedly I scoffed at myself when I went to Unilocal to find a funeral home. I thought surely there would not be reviews for such an establishment. I have no idea why I thought that and clearly I was wrong. I found the reviews for Apollo Funeral Service, got in touch with Miles and immediately felt comfortable with having him assist us through this difficult time. My mother and nephew both commented on how kind, compassionate, and professional Miles is. He was conscientious of our budget, and made sure everything worked out the way we needed it to. He has a very calming presence. It’s hard to imagine wanting to go into a field like this, but it is clear that Miles takes his profession very seriously and a primary goal is to help families in their time of grief. He is a great person and runs an excellent business.

Miles’ kindness is unsurmountable! He takes care of all the details, and leaves space for those grieving. I recommend him highly!

When my grandfather passed away Miles was the first person I thought of to handle the services.
The professionalism and compassion my family received while making arrangements and during the service could not have been better.
The genuine care that was shown to my family is something I will never forget.
I could not have asked for a better remembrance of my grandfather’s life.
Thank you, Miles. You are a truly great individual!

The day my Dad passed away was a horrible day. I was not only overtaken by heartache, but I was completely unprepared for what was before me. I had never planned a funeral service for one of my loved ones and I was not at all ready to plan one now. I had ZERO plans made. I had been with a friend when she was making all the plans for her mother. From the memory of her experience, I was dreading the day when we had to meet with the funeral director. I spoke with Miles the day of my father’s passing and we scheduled a meeting for the very next day. I was scared and I was NOT ready for this meeting. However, we walked into a chapel and was greeted by one of the friendliest young men I have ever met, this was Miles. From the initial meeting and all the way through to the service being over, Miles never let us down. He is extremely detail oriented, listened to every word you said and concern you expressed and had options and answers, had a balance between compassion and professionalism, understood when you were sad and enjoyed the laughter and the stories about your loved one, and his prices were incredibly fair. Fair in today’s market is just a word you don’t hear and I promise he is fair. From beginning to end, every transaction was PERFECT. No detail left out. His level of communication was top. I made contact several times just to ask a very important, but very simple question and he ALWAYS responded quickly and warmly. I lost my Dad who was also my best friend. I just didn’t know how I, plus my family, was going to get through this difficult time. It was hugely made possible by the wonderful direction and advice of our funeral director Miles. My family will be forever grateful to this wonderful young man. He will always hold a special place in all of our hearts.

This is an amazing company. They are priced better than so many, they are patient, kind, extremely helpful and professional ! I’d say they went above and beyond for us.
Thos was an incredibly sad and stressful time but Miles and the rest of the staff made the burial of my father the least of my worries.
Thank you !

There is no more challenging time than when you are making the arrangements after the death of your spouse. Even when you know it’s coming — it’s just a difficult thing to do. But Miles and his staff at Apollo are exemplary at their work.
My husband passed at home at 1 in the morning. The hospice nurse did all the work she was required to do and then asked me «Which funeral home would you like me to call for you?» I had been doing research (but like many felt I had more time) and I thought a minute. I didn’t want a large chain. I didn’t want my husband to be just another cremation. I had the nurse call Apollo and before 3 a.m. two Apollo employees were at my front door — in suits and ties. They quietly and respectfully explained what they would be doing. They were so considerate of my feelings. When my husband was leaving our home for the last time, they offered me the opportunity to say goodbye again — I couldn’t do it — and they just understood.
The next morning Miles and I were on the phone. I asked what time he needed me to arrive at the funeral home to make the arrangements. Imagine my shock when he said, «I can come to you.» Seriously. Miles came to my home and in a caring and compassionate manner went over each detail with me. He answered every question I asked.
The day of the funeral Miles met me at the church with my husband’s ashes. He wanted whatever he could for me to be smooth and hassle-​free.
Lastly — I learned it’s ok to ask about expense. It might seem tacky — your husband just passed away — but it’s NOT SOMETHING you should be embarrassed or ashamed to ask about. And Miles does not shy away from this. He explains to you what the fees cover. And here’s the thing… with Apollo you get far more than what you pay for. Kindness. Compassion. Knowledge. Professionalism.

I was faced with the loss of my 96 year old grandmother. She lived a wonderful life and passed with family at home. I was immediately overwhelmed with stress as I had to take care of everything on my own and had no idea what to do. I searched online and found Miles at Apollo Funeral. OMG from the moment he picked up the phone I knew I found the right person. He was professional, caring, and he took care of EVERYTHING. He talked to me and guided me through this process with amazing compassion.
From a business perspective Miles finds a way to fantastic work at about 60% to 70% of the cost of the corporate funeral services. I made a few comparison calls just to be sure and Miles was able to fulfill my grandmother’s wishes several thousand less than all the places listed on the Boulder County paperwork I was given.
To Miles and his staff… THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

Wow. I would have never thought that during such a tough time in life that I would be so inspired to write a review on Unilocal.After the passing of a relative, our family called Apollo after reading the 4 other reviews here on Unilocal.They showed up dressed respectfully in suits and were very very kind. They worked with hospice to arrange the process and reassured the family multiple times that our relative would be be treated with the utmost respect. After they were done they remade the bed of our relative and left a red rose in her place. It was truly a beautiful gesture. Their kindness and professionalism extended throughout the entire process. I was truly amazed and inspired to run my own small business with such integrity. Thank you, Apollo. Truly.

During one of the most difficult times one could imagine: the loss of a beloved friend, Miles Harford was an absolute angel: calm and supportive. Not only that, but he treated my friend as a person rather than «the deceased» and allowed me to share precious memories and discuss my concerns. Miles went out of his way to, not only accomodate my grief and my schedule, but to create a loving and reverent atmosphere befitting such a lovely man. I am forever grateful and thankful to Miles, and my friend would’ve liked him, too. Choosing the exact right person to care for my friend meant the world to me.

My sister and I recently lost our grandmother. We contacted Miles at Apollo and he took care of us and all our needs. Right from the start his demeanor was calm, caring and compassionate. He was quick to respond and provide insight and options. Miles understood our budget and it was never an issue. He was a pleasure to work with and I do not hesitate to recommend Apollo for any of your needs. You will be well taken care of and so will your loved one.

Our grandmother recently passed away and we were in charge of taking care of all the details following her death. We have never done this before, so we were nervous and stressed about where to turn. Fortunately, Ginny at Cherrelyn Healthcare Center referred us to Miles at Apollo Funeral Services. From the moment we contacted him he was caring, compassionate, knowledgable and helpful. When you are grieving over the loss of a loved one this is exactly what you need. It’s hard to think clearly and manage your feelings, so having someone like Miles available to take the burden off your shoulders when trying to figure what the next steps are and making sound decisions, makes an enormous impact.
For anyone in need of funeral and cremation services, I would highly recommend using Apollo Services.

We recently had a loss in the family which was the hardest thing we’ve ever had to experience. When we met with Miles, the owner, he immediately put us at ease with the process of caring for our loved one’s passing. He was both professional and compassionate and went the extra mile to see that we were well cared for. From meeting with us on our schedule to letting us grieve in our own way, Miles made it so easy to make the tough decisions no one wants to think about making after a death. It takes someone very special to be in this line of work and Miles is very passionate about what he does. We truly do appreciate level of service we received and would highly recommend Apollo Funeral & Cremation Services to anyone.
