It's generally not my policy to review anything related to a funeral home (it just feels a bit…read moreweird and a little insensitive to write about a place tied to the concept of death and unpleasant memories of the past), but I'm making an exception for a funeral home in Port Credit that held a very classy and respectful viewing last week. One of my co-workers (who was also a good friend and mentor) passed away suddenly last Tuesday, as of this writing, and the family was able to quickly put together a viewing at Skinner & Middlebrook. This has been a mainstay in Port Credit for a long time, but I didn't realize just how important it was until I'd once again lost someone close to me. The last time I was here, it was for my grandmother's viewing and funeral service in 2003, and the owner Scott and the staff did a marvelous job bringing everything together and ensuring that the service was respectful, understated and classy. Fast-forward nearly 15 years and I was back here again, reminiscing about my friend with other journalists, co-workers and his family members. The staff made sure that everything was handled impeccably, from small snacks and tissues on-hand to images and videos of my co-worker from his past career and family life playing on a video screen and nearby television. This is truly a family business (and a multi-generational one, from what I understand), and the interesting part is that the staff make you feel like you're a part of their family, no matter how tangential your relationship may be to the deceased. The viewing was respectful and well-presented, and the staff were on-hand the next day to help deliver the casket to a church down the road -- in the midst of a heavy snowstorm, no less. They definitely went above and beyond for the family, and I commend them for their attention to detail, patience and tact when dealing with the situation and outlying circumstances. It's that level of consistency I appreciate, and it's a very suitable and apt place for any matters related to funeral viewings or service.

Amazing. Never…read morethought I'd be reviewing a funeral home.. but life happens. We used Smith's for Mama's funeral 3 months ago. They were more than helpful. Everything from the visitations/ viewings/ the wake days to the funeral, the church and the cemetery day.. they were great. The funeral day was especially hard with early morning prayers, the funeral procession, the church service and to the cemetery. A lot of places, a lot of moving. They made sure everything went smoothly. They also made Mama look so young and beautiful. Loved the floral are arrangements too. They were respectful, helpful and very nice.
