"Get arrangements pre arranged! You'll soooo appreciate it at the time on need. Get the details done in advance. It was so much more relaxed, peaceful and allowed us to be there, in the moment without the challenges of making decisions that needed to be taken care of immediately. I sincerely advise everyone to get things, ALL THE DETAILS TOO, pre arranged. D"

"I don't think it was anyone's fault as our communication was also not clear either. Due to the pandemic a lot of family members oversea could not make it to the funeral and a lot of the mourning from the funeral was done through video call. I think everyone ended the visitation day thinking they would be able to see my uncle once more thorough video call the next day. It would have been nice if there was some communication regarding which areas of the funeral allowed video and which areas was not. Some family members were very sad to find out on the spot that they could not be present through video for the cremation. And through the confusion everyone on the video call did not get the chance to see my uncle one last time prior to bringing him in for cremation."

"All of it blew my mind and exceeded my expectations. The entire process from the paper offering the evening before to the actual service to the drive to the cemetery and the burial, it was so professional and my family felt guided and supported throughout the process. It was our first funeral so we were very ignorant and were so glad to be support by Gillian and her team; Gillian is kind, action oriented, honest, full of resources and gave helpful advice when we were indecisive and lacked knowledge. I have already recommended Mount Pleasant to many friends and family with older parents/grandparents for their future services. I was extremely impressed that during the drive to the cemetery in our own cars that in front of the hearse was Mount Pleasant's own vehicle with a flashing light leading the way. Lastly Gillian and others stayed with us to watch the burial and laid out seats under an awning in case of rain; we were all very impressed at all the detailed planning. Very well done!"

"All of the staff that I had communicated with, especially the apprentices, were so amazing! They were considerate, understanding, accommodating, and quick to answer all my questions (I had many!). Due to Covid-19 health protocols, some of the arrangements we had pre-purchased were unnecessary. The staff were very flexible and provided alternatives or a refund. Thank you so much for making a very difficult time less stressful for our family. You have a wonderful team at Mount Pleasant Funeral Home."

"Gillian was our family's main contact at Mount Pleasant and from the start through to the funeral, she was exceptionally attentive to details, very communicative and patient with describing all of the associated aspects, and didn't rush us through any of the process. She was very understanding and it certainly helped my Mother by being able to speak Cantonese with her."

I can`t praise Tony enough for making this difficult time of loss for my family easy and his attention to detail was outstanding.

"My husband had wanted a simple cremation, and no funeral service. I was very relieved that his wishes were respected, and that there was no pressure on me. The Director was very kind, understanding, and supportive, which means a lot when someone you love has passed - especially suddenly, as was my husband's case. I also appreciate that the Director provided guidance in 'next steps' in dealing with my husband's estate."
