"From the moment I made the first phone call regarding the passing of my father, I felt his final affairs/arrangements were going to be dealt with professionally and with compassion. This was so important as I live provinces away and my father passed in Calgary during a pandemic. Although my mother still lives in Calgary, she needed my help as well as guidance and assistance from others. There was nothing that wasn't done for my family, including personal visits to my mother so that she didn't have to travel, setting up teleconferences so that I could be involved in the overall process, and such compassion from everyone involved. Thank you so much to everyone involved in finalizing my father's affairs."

"My mother had pre-arranged her funeral arrangements many years ago, so all I had to do was to turn up when the time came and set in motion the plans already laid down. Though I had come from out of province for this event, I did not feel like a stranger. Rather, I felt welcomed and confident that everyone involved knew what they were doing. Michel Cron went out of his way to help me understand what needed to be done, and made himself and the staff available at any time if I needed help. He is friendly and supportive, and I am grateful."

"It was exactly what Vicki told us we want to make this easier as much as possible so you can focus on your time with your family. The little preparation we made together as family brought back a lot of great memories. It was so easy to ask questions and got answered so quickly. Everything was done so quickly and smoothly considering with too many family members were involved with request and suggestions. They were met by the funeral director and Shannon who answered the many calls we made with a kind voice. We want to say thank you from our family with love to all the staff and our director Michael who made everything run so smoothly. Thank you for the compassions we felt from all the staff."
