We would like to share some of the testimonials we have received.
1. Recently my dear wife Betty Partridge passed away, and I, along with my son Paul and my daughter Cathy visited you on April 11, 2011 to discuss and plan final arrangements.
One of the closure steps for me is to acknowledge the outstanding role that you and 'Simply Cremations' played.
In everything you did, at every step in the process that had to be done, I want you to know that your patience, understanding and professional integrity were far beyond my expectations.
You promised me complete satisfaction in every way I asked, and you delivered. Your no pressure, full disclosure approach was perfect for me.
I am already promoting you and 'Simply Cremations' and will certainly continue to do so. Thank you, Susan.

2. I want to thank Simply Cremations again for the respectful service I received when my mom passed. I felt quite free to make my own decisions and didn't feel pressured even when I changed my mind halfway through the process. It was certainly a benefit to have your facility so close to home, here on the Peninsula.
Thanks again for all your helpful assistance...I couldn't have done it without you.

3. It's been a while since Dad died, and I have thought so often of the wonderful care Simply Cremations provided to our family. We especially appreciated how flexible and respectful they were with our multiple and unusual demands.
I had no idea that the assistance of a funeral service provider could be so influential in shaping the experience of a death in the family...We are so grateful for the speedy (late night) transportation of Dad's body from our home, (allowing us all to get a much needed good night's sleep) and the careful guidance provided throughout the cremation and management of his ashes. They helped us make and carry out good decisions at every step along the way, leaving us with no thoughts of "should have" or "wish we would have".
Working with Simply Cremations was a real eye-opener for me, I have a whole new respect and admiration for all what they do...and if the need ever arises again, we will be back! Thank you.

4. I had used Simply Cremations twice in Edmonton so was particularly
happy to see that they had opened in the Victoria area where my aging
mother was living in a care facility.
On my next visit, I visited Susan at her new location in Sidney and made arrangements for my
mother. When she did pass away in June, I was again pleased with how
smoothly and easily everything went.
It felt so good to have things looked after efficiently, economically and with the respect and dignity
that I had come to expect from Simply Cremations.
