Making Cremation in Kelowna Meaningful

One point that we want to emphasize is that cremation is not the end in itself. Cremation on its own is open-ended and begs the question, “What’s next?”

The nice thing about cremation is that it gives you more options as far as what to do with the cremated remains. But after cremation takes place people sometimes think that they don’t need to do anything else. In our experience having a ceremony to say goodbye facilitates the grieving process and makes it easier to deal with the new reality. With cremation there is no “built-in” goodbye as there is with a burial, and it’s an important point to consider.

The ceremony to say goodbye after cremation does not have to be extravagant, but it’s important to have something. The nice thing about cremation is that it gives time for family and friends to come to Kelowna to have that goodbye ceremony – there is less rush with cremation.

We are a family owned funeral home and crematorium and provide cremation services in Kelowna and surrounding areas. Making the service after the cremation meaningful is something we believe is very important. We invite you to watch this video where we talk about how we make a cremation in Kelowna meaningful.

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.
