    To the Canning family….

    I’m so very sorry to hear of the sudden passing of my uncle Ronnie. Even tho I didn’t know him well I know he was a real family man and was very devoted to the loved ones around him. My heart and deepest condolences goes out to the family. Losing him so suddenly is a huge shock… Especially after my mom’s (my uncle Ronnie’s older sister) sudden passing late last year. I feel for the family so very much losing two family member in such a short period of time. My heart and prayers goes out to all of you… Love you all

    We were so sad and still are at the loss of Ron. It was quite a shock to both Courtney and I especially since him and I were talking about work and life two days before and he seemed like every other time I saw him. We grew up knowing Maryanne for years and had really enjoyed getting to knowher wonderful kind hearted father and Barb’s loving husband. Our deepest simpathy to the family of this great man who will be missed by those who knew and loved him. Love and prayers go out to you.

    I remember always talking to Ron about everyday things and remember him helping my parents out with moving them to Alberta. He always had soft side about talking about his family when considered them as part of the family. He will be dearly missed

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.
