    Bernice was a wonderful friend for many years in Calgary. Gladys & I shared many visits, bridge games and dinners over the years. She always had a great outlook on life. She will be missed. I share in your loss.

    Dear Anne/ Jeff and family,
    We were so sorry to hear that your mom passed away. We always enjoyed her visits to PEI, she was always so much fun. And she and Willard were so good to me when I was in Calgary in my younger years, great dinners when I needed a home cooked meal! We will miss her. Wish we lived closer so we could attend the service, you will be in our thoughts and prayers.
    With Love, Randy, Wendy, Jesse and Magen.

    We are so sorry for your loss. My family (Rory, Ann, and kids) spent the vacation of a lifetime at the lake house on the Okanagan in ’95. We were supposed to stay for a few days, and ended up there for a week! Bernice and Willard were so generous with us kids, and I’ll never forget it. My wife Amra and I got a chance to see them again in what Bernice called the “tin house” down in Arizona a few years back, and had a great evening with them, of course. Their verve and joie de vivre will be missed.
    With deepest sympathy,
    Graeme and Amra

      Amazing memories of that time Graeme is referring to and time spent with Bernice and Willard was always a Francis’ kids’ highlight. Bernice’s zest for life is something that always resonated with me and will continue live on.

      Love Adam

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.
