The Memorial Event

We mark and celebrate different occasions throughout our life. We commonly celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and graduations. The memorial event or service is the final celebration of the story and the life that was lived. And a good memorial event will be able to accurately capture and share that story in a memorable, sincere and meaningful way. A vital component of any good service will be the telling of the story of the life of the deceased.

Every life is unique. Every story is different. We want to accurately capture and reflect that story. We want to share it and allow people to acknowledge it, to connect with it, to celebrate it, and to reconnect with the memories of the person’s life. We don’t do cookie-cutter funerals so it’s important for us to understand your values and beliefs and to use our experience to help you meaningfully celebrate it.

When it comes to the service, people need to make a decision whether to have the body present or not. A common option is to have the body present in a separate room so that those who want can say goodbye, and those who don’t feel comfortable can go to the main service room. Even if the body is going to be cremated, families can choose to have a viewing and even an open casket at the service before the body is cremated.

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.
