    Dear Audrey and family: So sorry for your loss. Eric was always fun to have at the family gatherings. Kept everyone laughing. Although we didn’t often see him, it was always a great time when we did. Keep your chin up.

    Please know that our hearts go out to you and the family, as you face this most difficult time. What an amazing thing it will be when those asleep like your loved one will be woken up and come back to life, once and for all! This is a hope that keeps us going, because we too, have lost many of our loved ones. As Psalms 37:9-11, 29 promises, soon, we’ll all enjoy life on this earth at a time when there will be no more, pain, sickness, or death.

    Audrey and Family,
    My sincere condolences. I always enjoyed meeting and sharing stories with Eric at the Glenmore CPO. His humour and take on life always gave me a chuckle and uplift to end a sometimes harried day.

    Audrey & family – when we read about Eric’s passing, many wonderful memories came back of the Highways curling funspiels and baseball tourneys and the laughter and good times that were had (and perhaps a beer or two)! Eric had a great laugh and always had a smile on his face. He will be missed – our deepest condolences to you and your family.

    Audrey & family,
    Sorry to hear of Eric’s passing. Just found out today (April 21)Though I haven’t seen Eric for many years, I fondly remember the days in the late 50’s and 1960 we sat beside each other at apprentice school

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.
