"My sister and I made arrangements for our mother, she had prearranged most of it, which we didn't know the plans. Our funeral director was extremely pleasant, explained all the details, showed us the casket she picked, offered a name for a minister, who surpassed our expectations. It was like he knew what we were trying to do and he meet our needs above and beyond. Our experiences with Oshawa Funeral Home, now and in the past have been very satisfying."

"I can't thank the whole team at Oshawa Funeral Home enough for a wonderful experience during a horrible time for our family. Every interaction I had with the staff was simple, easy, and conveyed a great sense of compassion and empathy. That's what I appreciated the most. Ron was professional and caring and made our first experience at the funeral home nice and easy. James and Alex were incredible on the day of the viewing and the during the funeral service. Lori was absolutely superb to deal with when I first reached out. I truly felt that my father was in the right place and in the best care. Although my family had reached out to another funeral home at first, attending past visitations made me think of Oshawa Funeral Home and after speaking with Lori, I just knew that they would take great care of my father. Speaking with Lori sealed it and I'm so glad we came in for a meeting to move forward. Oh and best of all, my father looked perfect, best I've seen him in a long time! And peaceful."
