    Elaine and family – My condolences on the loss of a fine woman. Mom and Helen were very close friends for many, many years. I hope she is enjoying a good hand of bridge or curling up a storm right now.

    Elain and family. What a loss for Kelowna! Helen was my neighbour in Balmoral for over ten years and will always be remembered as a great lady who loved “two fingers of rye with a small amount of ice!”. Her loss removes the living memory of early prairie pioneer life and the connection to ‘listening to war drums during the Northwest Rebellion’ as told to her by her own Grandmother many years ago. Helen will be missed, I send you all my condolences.

    I was saddened to hear about the passing of Aunt Helen (Wayne’s Aunt). We shared many good drinks of rye and water( I did my own water) and solved may problems together. it was a pleasure to visit with her, tour the new sights of Kelowna including the restaurants. We had many good times. A very special lady and friend. Gerry

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.
