    My sincere condolences to Janet’s family. I very much enjoyed chatting with Janet at the Dorchester Residence when I visited with my late father, Jim. Janet had a great sense of humour and I always came away with a smile on my face, after talking with her. She will certainly be missed.

    I first met Janet in 1972 while taking a course at Sorrento Centre where she befriended me. We later connected in Summerland and then again at Saint Michael and All Angels Anglican Cathedral. Her welcome smile will be missed in our cathedral community. With sincere sympathy.

    Rob, Judy, and Elaine,
    Joe and I are saddened to hear about Janet’s recent death. Although we knew Janet for many years through McDonald’s we really got to know her personally after Bill died. She had such a strong spiritual side and she wanted to make a difference by living according to the manner recorded in the bible. Her church was very important to her. She did not make friends easily as I think her humble nature hid the interesting and loving person that she was. She loved her family and wanted them to be happy and, she wanted to be involved in their lives. She always seemed to struggle with personal growth issues and hopefully, in death, she has found true peace.
    Our thoughts go out to you all in the loss of your mother.
    Cathy and Joe

    Rob, Judy and Elaine. My deepest sympathies re the loss of your Mother Janet. My memories are all joyous from when I first met her in 1980. She was witty, funny and we always shared laughs. Janet treated me as my own Mother and we enjoyed conversations about life. I remember her vividly and share your loss.
    Love Greg Kenzie

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.
