In particular I'd like to mention Twyla, who helped me put together the funeral I wanted for my loved one. She explained everything in detail and we put together a wonderful service that exactly met the needs of me and my family. They make sure you understand the costs and pick something suitable for your needs. Everything down to the music was perfectly arranged. They also helped me with some of the official paperwork after the service. How they support your family during a very difficult time cannot be underestimated.

Our experience with Sarah-Ashley extended well beyond the parameters of what she was required to do, to a direction of what do we "need" to do to fully honour our friend and his families wishes and to respect his intersected experiences of his Indigenous, Mennonite and Disabilities communities. We had such little information when we arrived at Geffen-Mack Danforth location. The compassion and professionalism we encountered, immediately put us at ease and offered a comfort level which allowed us to feel confident to follow her lead as we navigated the days before the memorial. Both Sarah- Ashley and Theresa, the celebrant simply listened and captured all of the subtle nuances as we described him, his life, the bond with his mother and his affinity with water and nature; places that brought him pure joy and a sense of calm. Thank you again

I've been to this cemetary and funeral home for the past decade. I did take it a notch down by 2…read morestars just because many experience with arranging funeral seemed to be more of an upscale than an explanation. So it's probably not the first place you want to visit but when the time comes, something's got to happen. I have been here for a few funeral arrangements and regular visits. When arranging funerals, there was a small conference room where the death certificate is provided to the funeral home and the options for coffins and even how they arrange funeral ceremonies. Their staff are aware of different cultures and a Filipino staff was assigned because its tradition to eat next to the coffin and celebrate life (not my thing but a first). The organizer provided us pallbearers at hourly rates but really didnt explain that we could bring our own or have our own guest carry the coffin - again we didnt know and they did not explain they just told us what we needed. Hence I dropped it one star. So if you're going to arrange a funeral, maybe not this location, you'll find yourself lawn mowed with options while youre mourning. There really should be a consumer protection for people in this emotional state. The facility is quite grand with high ceilings. But when you return to use the washroom and visit your loved ones, the facility must have forgotten to lock their door and were not allowing their patrons who bought plot and coffin to use the washroom (come on!). Seemed snooty and makes the location overall less accessible for all population. The grounds are kept, but there is not much done for plant theft (YES! PLANT THEFT). I dont endorse stealing from people and stealing from the dead. Bad karma. But there is little done here when plants are robbed as we experienced our own arrangements destroyed to nothing (because the plants were stolen). Dropped another star here. Ways to save money, you can pre buy your plot and even arrange your double stacked plot. It's one way to fight inflation. Hoses are available all around, and signage are everywhere. After this experience....definitely not buying any future plots or arranging events here. Sorry not sorry.

We cannot recommend them highly enough!
