My father purchased a plan through Grand River many years ago, so the details around how my family could access the cremation services when my father passed was a mystery to us. Sarah handled our situation with care and provided the support we needed at a difficult time. We feel that Dad's wishes were respected, and our family were able to focus on grieving his loss.

Sarah and the staff at Grand River more than succeeded our expectations. They were professional, warm and compassionate at a very difficult time for our family. Our beloved father passed just days before the Christmas holidays and Sarah guided us through all our concerns and questions. We would recommend this team to service others.
Very grateful,
Thank you.

We had pre-paid my MiL's cremation a couple of years ago and she just passed last week. Everything was taken care of, from start to finish, with great kindness and respect for everyone concerned. Any and all questions were answered. It has been such a positive experience during a stressful time, and we thank them from the bottoms of our hearts.

Excellent service. The difficulty of our situation was made worse with the institution of social distancing guidelines. Trying to figure out how to go forward was a challenge but Peter made the process much easier. He is thoughtful, helpful and cares. He took care of everything for me and did a lot more than I was expecting. I definitely recommend them.
