Initial Arrangement Consultation

The Initial Arrangement Consultation is designed to introduce you to our staff and our facility, and to secure the transition for care of the deceased’s body to our location. We want you to feel comfortable at our funeral home. If you have not pre-planned, the Initial Arrangement Consultation would take place with your loved ones after your passing. If you have prearranged your funeral, introductions would have been done then, and we would refer to the existing plan when we meet with your family to start to fill in the details. Needless to say, the Initial Arrangement Consultation is easier and less stressful for your family when you have pre-planned and put the guidelines in place.

The goal of the Initial Arrangement Consultation is to start talking. It’s done privately, over coffee and tea and some light refreshments, where we start putting together the funeral service and finding out what would make it truly meaningful. We believe that every life mattered and is a story to be told, cherished and remembered. Here at Springfield Funeral Home we don’t do cookie-cutter funerals. So it is very important to us to find out your values and beliefs in order to help create a memorial event that will reflect what is meaningful and important.

As a formality funeral homes are agents for Vital Statistics, and we are required to gather information on their behalf, in order to register the death event and produce the required Death Certificate(s). We need to know things like your full legal name, name at birth, date of birth, where you were born as well as your parent’s names and where they were born. So please keep that information handy.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
