    I would like to sent my condolences to the family of Allan Combs. He was a great man who loved his God. I will remember him for the funny things he has told me over the years. The different names he had for me every Monday morning when I arrived at the house. Allan will be forever remembered for his love of his family and his God. His wings have taken him home to see his many brothers , sister,mother, father, friends and 1st wife Ethel.I am glad there is no more pain and suffering for you Allan. Love from Lorna. I will miss you each Monday I go to the house. xoxox

    I always enjoyed my visits to your home. Despite Allan’s many discomforts he was always positive and upbeat and I loved hearing his stories. I’m sure he is going to be missed by many. My condolences to Daphne and the rest of the family.

    My thanks go out to all the people who attended my father’s funeral; whether friends or family, you all meant something special to my dad and I want to thank you for sharing this with us. Also, a big thank you to David Henseleit and the rest of the staff at Springfield Funeral Home.

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.
