    My heart goes out to all of you. Your Mom was an amazing lady who always put a smile on my face. I was sorry to hear that Jennifer had also lost her battle with that horrible disease. Take care of all of you and know that all of you will always have a special place in my heart. Love and hugs Gwen

    Dear Ron and Family,
    We are all so very sorry to learn of Barbara and also Jennifer’s passing. We remain thankful for the many wonderful visits we enjoyed with her spanning multiple decades and will remember her kind spirit and generosity especially during our visits to Whistler, Baldi and Silver Star. Sadly we lost touch over the last couple of years despite several attempts to locate her. The cherished memories we have of our visits will keep her alive in our hearts.
    With our sincerest sympathy,
    The Schaeffer and Piggin Families (Calgary)

    Ron, Shirley, Jeff and Alex, I am sorry to hear about the passing of Barbara. I remember her fondly from days on Rena Crescent when I would come over to the house to hang out with Jen. Your mom had a mustang, which I thought was the coolest. I’m thinking of you all. Karen

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.
