    Hi Wendy and Donna,

    Deb and I want to share our condolences. Mr. Ehlers was so kind and gentle (one of our favourites!) Thank you so much for donating his hearing aids. They will make a big difference in someone’s life. A big hug from us to you

    Nichole Sorensen and Deb Sodorquist

    Thank you Donna for phoning us advising us of the loss of your dear Dad – it ‘softens’ the blow.
    We knew your Mom and Dad in the early 40’s when they both worked for David Spencer Ltd.We stayed in touch all these years even though in got down to Christmas cards. I still have some snapshots of you and Wendy playing with our children.
    Please accept our sincere sympathy – may it help in some small way to let you know we care.
    We look forward to seeing you in the summer.
    Fondly,
    Kay and Brian

    Donna and Wendy, I wanted to pass along my condolences after hearing of the passing of your father. Lew was a lovely man and I know he and my Dad shared a good rapport over meals and activities at The Highlands and enjoyed their visits together while at Kelowna General. Gil passed on at Sutherland Hills Rest Home on January 13th so I picture the two of them above, free of pain and enjoying a good natter. My thoughts are with you. Brenda

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.
