What an amazing evening! In fact, it was one of the best comedy events I've ever had the pleasure of attending. The evening's title was perfectly chosen: Grief n' Giggles - Coffin Up Comedy. If that name alone doesn't make you smile, the performers certainly will. Perhaps the most unexpected part of the evening was the venue itself: Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre. Having only lived in White Rock for a short time, I had no idea this beautiful facility even existed. And before you let the words "funeral home" scare you off, don't. It's a stunning property with peaceful grounds that are perfect for a nature walk. Not exactly the first place that comes to mind when someone says, "Want to get some fresh air?" but maybe it should be. The brochure featured the tagline: "They say laughter is the best medicine, so we're throwing an event all about healing with humour -- no prescription required." Judging by the roughly 300 people in attendance, I'd say the prescription was filled. The evening was expertly hosted by Cliff Prang, who didn't miss a beat. OMG, he was hilarious. Melanie Rose and Vanessa Woznow rounded out the comedy roster, and together they delivered a night of laughter that had the audience roaring. You know how it is when you walk into a venue you've never been to before. There's the cautious step through the doorway, followed by the obligatory scan of the room to make sure you haven't accidentally wandered into the wrong event. In my case, I was greeted by no fewer than five different people: one welcomed me, two signed me in, one escorted me to the elevator, and finally there was the handsome gentleman whose sole duty appeared to be pressing the elevator button. I've never felt so important in my life. Once on the second floor, I discovered an entire reception area dedicated to mingling, complete with beautifully arranged buffet tables offering complimentary food and beverages. This came as a complete surprise since admission was by donation only. I had come prepared for comedy, not hors d'oeuvres. Needless to say, I adapted quickly. Later, the same elevator gentleman took the time to point out a beautifully handcrafted horse-drawn coffin carriage dating back to the 1890s. It was an extraordinary piece of craftsmanship and a fascinating glimpse into local history. Stunning woodwork and well worth a look. A special shout-out goes to two lovely ladies, Jeanette and Rosetta, whom I met while enthusiastically sampling the buffet. Rosetta is a vivacious volunteer at the Peace Arch Hospice Society Thrift Store, which apparently provides significant funding for the Society's programs. Another shout-out goes to the lady seated beside me, whose infectious laugh kept me laughing throughout the show. Sometimes laughter is contagious in the very best way. Finally, a heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers and organizers who helped make this first-class event possible. From the warm welcome to the delicious refreshments and the outstanding comedy, everything was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed. If this was my first Peace Arch Hospice Society event, it certainly won't be my last.

You might not have realized it, but there are stories told here. Some of sorrow loss and pain but…read moremany of happiness and fond memories. It seems this year especially I've been coming here as a family or friend to a loved one lost to this world. I'm usually up on the podium saying something, trying to give words of praise and hope to those left here on earth. Most amazingly I get to see the connections reunited and rekindled and relationships repurposed. The staff here have been welcome and it seems that each time I have come, I get to know them a little bit more. They have a tough job. They sell their service to those in need, but like all things, sometimes business is hard to mix with a sudden loss of a loved one. Emotions can be high and feelings are sensitive. It's hard to mix this as a business offering their service and asking for money in exchange. I know some people may not take lightly to these challenges because of this. However, if you can think past that and see the good that they do. Day in and day out....... I have respect for this funeral home and admiration for their staff. One of whom I will miss. I'm giving them 5 stars not for the costs of services, but for the services they offer. I couldn't afford to have my funeral here. For me, it's a wooden box to be cremated in and no ceremony. Just a dinner with friends. Still, the times that I have been here, they've been helpful, considerate and kind.

Unfortunately, we sought the services of this funeral home at the time we needed them when we were…read morein sorrow and grieving the sudden loss of my husband, considering its proximity to our residence. We were assigned to the very incompetent Larry D. Thompson. First of all, we were forced to get their very expensive catering services saying that they don't allow outside food in their premises. The food was awful, the chow mein was so salty, it was just thrown into waste. Secondly, on the viewing day, there was no guest book provided. When asked, Larry said we didn't ask for it. That's a very basic item that should be part of the funeral services package. Then, we were not asked about the "thank you" cards. We ended up designing our own and have them printed. These are services that we are not familiar with. It's the task of Larry to present these things to us. Finally and worst of all, we ordered for some cross pendants to put some ashes of my deceased husband. Before I picked up my husband's ashes from this funeral home, I texted Larry to make sure he had saved some for the ordered pendants. He confirmed he saved some already, only to be advised later and after my husband was interred, that there was no ashes saved for the pendants. This is very disrespectful to the dead and a very unreliable service considering they're are dealing with a grieving family who relied on them to provide the best final services for my husband. Now, the only item that can keep him close to us is no longer available because of this very irresponsible funeral director Larry Thompson.

When the company we used for arrangements and marker ordering ended up making a big mistake with our dads marker, Jonathon stepped up and helped us navigate a solution and he even threw in an in ground flower vase with a face plate that matched our marker. He did not need to do that, we had not even bought our marker through them. Once the corrected marker was returned to Green Acres they expedited having it set and placed on out dad's grave on his Birthday as they new people would be visiting. Thank you Jonathon and Moles for going the extra mile to help our family have some closure and to complete our memorial honoring our dad. Gratefully, Hempler Family
