    Our thoughts and prayers go out to my sister, Colleen, her partner Chris and the entire Ritchie family on the loss of your beloved “Nana”. It is apparent her beloved life touched all of you so deeply. May she rest in peace and in your hearts forever.

    Our deepest sympathy to the Ritchie Family in the passing of their beloved Eva. Eva was a very special lady. We spent many many nights having dinner and visiting. We could chat about anything, and did! I believe we had a very special relationship. Eva had a great sense of humor and always loved being with her many friends. She lived for her family and loved them all very much! When her great grandchildren were born she was so very proud. Eva lived her life to the fullest and had many wonderful trips with her husband and family. We were truly blessed to have known “Nana”. The Zarin Family will miss her, she was a true delight!

    Love from Marg, Joe and Family

    Thank you for live streaming the service in honour of Eva. I wish I could have been there in person. Eva and Mom used to sit in the evenings and knit afghans and then donate them to homeless people. And Ramie’s was a special place for them. I can still imagine the two of them walking along when I pass by Old Orchard or the buildings where they lived. With much affection for Eva, our sincerest sympathies, from the Domeij and Sinclair families.

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.
