    To the Kehl family.

    So sorry to hear of Ken’s passing. Ken was a blessing to us with the friendship he extended to my mom Margaret Utigard with his short stay at Village at Smith Creek.

    Daryl , Dee and Margaret Utigard

    To Ken’s family, We were next door neighbours to Ken and Helen on Grenfell. We will always remember your Dad for the cheerful spring in his step, especially on the perfect powder day as he was heading to the hill with his buddies back when the seasons pass was free for seniors. He had the best gig going and he knew it. As we now contemplate retirement plans, Dennis said last week….”I plan to be just like Neighbour Ken and ski as long as I can walk”. He was an inspiration to the whole neighbourhood. Our condolences on your loss. Susanne and Dennis Young

    I recall many a haircut from Mr. Kehl when I lived near the family on the Airport Road in Kenora and I also recall being chased off the airfield as well !
    Sincere condolences for your loss.

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.
