"Hamilton Harron did an excellent job catering to my families needs. They are very experienced in religious services and have many props/music at their funeral home for various services. The virtual arrangement was very easy and timeless. I was able to get in contact with a staff member at all times. The process and the paperwork was thoroughly explained. All staff members during the service was understand and empathetic. Could not have gone with a better funeral home."

"Geraldine (Gerry) Haslet, the Funeral Director from Hamilton Harron Funeral Home thoughtfully and resourcefully managed the key details associated with the overall process. This included details that aren't self-evident when a death is unexpectedly thrust upon you and your family. Our service plan, including a website along that incorporated rolling photography and an eccentric homemade music video celebrating the loved-one that we lost, were set-up and unveiled with astonishing efficiency. The multitude of additional changes that we requested as we negotiated our way through the process, enveloped in a kind of anguished fog that surrounds families during life's most painful moments, each of which were symbolically significant to us but in practical terms reflected extra work, were met with patience, grace and instantaneous response by the Hamilton Harron team. They took pressure away rather than add it to an already strained family, were particularly solution-oriented even when the inevitable challenges of life seemed to cascade (such as planning a gathering of people during the current epidemiological crisis). As counter-intuitive as it may seem, I found myself smiling and feeling a sense of relief, anticipating something helpful rather than another problem to solve, whenever I was contacted by a member of their team."

"Well, never having been responsible for arranging a funeral for anyone before, I expected the process to be a lot more arduous and painful, and generally full of hurdles, so I was particularly surprised after meeting Geraldine to find out that it was absolutely the smoothest process I could ever have imagined... well beyond my expectations in fact. One aspect in particular was that Geraldine was never in a rush.... she was always wonderfully calm and relaxed, and showed such genuine empathy for the loss I was experiencing. This made a world of difference, as at that point I was in an extremely high state of anxiety. Suddenly it felt like such a great relief to simply be at Hamilton Harron...the complete opposite of what I had envisioned."

"Doug was an amazing funeral director. I can't say enough good things about him. Doug was very accommodating but firm. Because of covid we weren't allowed to have more than one person down at the cremation centre (person pushing the button). Usually a priest would recite some mantras and then the button would be pushed by a loved one. The priest wasn't allowed to be down there so I was there and all the mantras were on my phone. Doug held up my phone so I could read them before pushing the button. Doug also advised us of fire regulations and made us abide by them in a fair manner. I'm sure the other funeral directors here are just as helpful... 10/10 for everything. The photo of my mother they created was amazing as well."

"My daughters passing was so unexpected that we were in a state of shock. We live in a different province from where she passed. I was referred to Hamilton Harron via a funeral service facility in my city. There were several matters in play in regards to procedures, documentation that I had no idea how to begin. I have disabilities that make travel an issue however, everything was handled with such grace. The quotation for all services rendered was completely as originally agreed. i would highly recommend Hamilton Harron."

"Our assigned FD showed us that he genuinely cares. He demonstrated this through not only his professionalism and experience but through his own personal touch. He gave me comfort in knowing I could leave everything in his hands and that everything would work out the way it should. When it came to costs and payments, I was never pressured about it. If anything it was the opposite. I was constantly reminded that these things can be taken care of later and not to worry too much about it. When the time came there was still no pressure on their end. Everytime I spoke with a member of the team I was always asked how not only I was doing but my children as well. At the end of the service we had a tough time leaving my mother and although it was past the allotted timeframe, every member of the assigned team stayed behind to see us off. Not a single person interrupted me, reminded me or pressured me to wrap things up. Following my mothers service she was sent back home to the Philippines to be laid to rest. This process was not only cost efficient but made to be extremely easier than I had expected. When I was told that they would take care of everything they really meant it. The most I had to do was provide my mothers Canadian passport or any if that. I can not recall a single issue or error occurring and if ever needed, I know exactly who to go to should I require these services again. There is no doubt in my mind that this is where I would go."
