“We’ve always thought planning a funeral would be difficult, stressful and of course very expensive. It was expensive, but we felt it was worth every penny. Our mother passed away, and we wanted to give her the best funeral we could afford. Foster’s was amazingly helpful and caring, and no pressures sales at all. Richard, our funeral director helped us planned the within our budget restraints. They know their job well and gave us great advice. The funeral turned out wonderfully, ( which is important for the Chinese culture ). We felt that we’ve really honoured our mother with all that Foster’s have provided. A very special thanks to Richard and his staff for all their work to make things easier for us.“
“We highly recommend Choice Memorial. From the moment we got in contact with them we had nothing but amazing service. We were able to meet with Theresa the day after my grandmother passed away. She was so kind, compassionate and made the whole process easy. We talked about their reviews and discussed the one negative review they have. Since the mishap, they have implemented a new checklist and are being diligent so that it never happens again. Theresa was still so empathetic and apologetic about the whole situation.
Choosing a funeral home is a daunting experience but the whole team there was phenomenal and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. We also were super impressed that the cost posted online was exactly what we paid, no hidden or additional costs unless we wanted to add more than the package offered.“
“We had scheduled an appointment with Kelly Ulmer on April 22 2024 the day of our father's passing.
Kelly met us at reception and was very welcoming.
Though the entire process Kelly was considerate and extremely mindful in meeting our determined needs.
Her approach in explaining out options and the process was thorough and delivered in a very comfortable manner.
Would highly recommend Kelly Ulmer and Calgary Cremation Service.“
“My family and I are overwhelmingly grateful for the staff at Pierson’s Funeral Services. Their kindness, compassion, and genuine helpfulness went above and beyond what we had expected, especially since we had opted for a basic cremation package.
Although we took care of the memorial service ourselves, they made suggestions and provided advice on what would be needed, contacted the church for us, and even contacted the funeral home in PEI, where we would be taking our mother’s ashes to be laid to rest. I often called or dropped in to ask questions, get advice, or make changes to the original plan, and never felt like I was being a nuisance. I felt completely supported by everyone I had contact with. They even loaned me easels to use at the church.
The week following the service, one of the staff, Hazel, met with me to see if I needed any additional support, and to provide me with a list of things that need to be addressed after someone passes away. They made that easy by notifying all government agencies for us, leaving us to simply complete the personal items on the check list that they weren’t legally allowed to tend to.
We are so grateful for the service, and support we received at that difficult, stressful, and emotional time. We will always recommend Pierson’s with full confidence they will provide the best service one could ask for.“
“My family has used the services of McInnis & Holloway for going on 4 generations and have them to be compassionate, understanding and truly professional. They have indeed helped myself and my family through the most difficult time.“
“From the start of the arrangements for my mother's funeral to the end of the day when we had her celebration of life. Edenbrook has been amazing answering all questions patient with our tardiness. When they asked us to complete some tasks and we were a little slow, just a fabulous organization, a beautiful layout, a beautiful place to lay your loved ones to rest. And they even are available after everything is said and done to answer any and all questions I truly recommend. This is a fabulous place to go if you're considering your own planning or if you are planning to lay a loved one to rest. This is a place I would recommend.“
“During the recent passing of our family's patriarch, the staff of the funeral home provided efficient, sympathetic, caring and outstanding service. We particularly appreciated the staff's patience and understanding in handling our many questions.
They met our needs every step of the way and made a difficult time more bearable. Thank you all for your help!“
