Evan J. Strong Funeral Services offers multiple personalized services to suit your family’s wishes and requirements. They provide funeral, memorial, burial, and cremation services.

Notably, we like that they provide various funeral, memorial, and cremation service packages. We think these options make it easier and quicker for clients to decide, given the weight of their grievances.

Moreover, their packages include professional services, ceremonies, transportation, equipment, signature items, and estate assistance. 

We also think it’s good that Evan J. Strong Funeral Services provides pre-arrangement services since it allows clients to pre-planning their funerals on their terms. 

For instance, clients whose parents made pre-arrangements years ago didn’t have any trouble getting everything organized amid their grief. We also noticed that many clients appreciate their aftercare services.

On the downside, we learned that their rates are slightly more expensive than other funeral homes. We are also disappointed to hear reports about receiving incomplete and late paperwork.

On a better note, we are impressed that they can provide immediate response and assistance 24/7.

Lastly, we appreciate that Evan J. Strong Funeral Services has a network of support groups and organizations to help you get through your grieving process. These grief supports are open for all ages.

Since its establishment in 1930, South Calgary Funeral Centre and Crematorium have offered funeral and cremation services to meet client needs.

We appreciate that they offer free online consultations to safely discuss your needs and craft a plan if you prefer personalized funeral services. 

In addition, we think it’s convenient since you’ll connect with a local funeral planning professional via phone, text, or email.

It’s also a plus that they’re open 24 hours a day, so you can expect someone to answer your call even during odd hours when needed.

On top of that, we also like that they have a 24/7 Compassion Helpline for grief support. This helpline offers families unlimited complimentary phone access to professional grief counsellors for 13 months after services. 

Unfortunately, we noted some issues regarding the lack of transparency with their pricing by the time clients receive the invoice. Therefore, we suggest clients ask for a detailed breakdown of expected fees before proceeding to avoid further problems.

Regardless, most past clients are satisfied with their services and appreciate the professionalism of the staff.

Finally, we admire their 100% service guarantee, which means that if you’re dissatisfied with any aspect of your service, they’ll fully refund that portion of the service.

Choice Memorial Cremation & Funeral Services has been offering memorial, cremation, funeral, and transfer services since 2014.

We like that they encourage and assist clients with unique, personalized, and one-of-a-kind tributes to their loved ones.

Apart from these services, It’s also good that they have a selection of funeral products. Some products include burial or cremation caskets, an urn, burial vaults, and custom and personalized items. 

It’s also noteworthy that they accept and offer in-home funeral services, which can be a more affordable option for some clients — cost-cutting and time-saving.

Another thing we like about them is how accommodating and responsive the staff are to the clients. 

We admire that they patiently walk you through every step, especially at such a sad and overwhelming time.

As for their pricing, we are impressed with their competitive rates given their highly regarded services from previous clients. In addition, we are pleasantly surprised that a traditional funeral service will only cost you $3,895 plus tax.

Conveniently, their rates and inclusions are readily available online.

Although to give you a heads up, their packages and fees don’t include third-party fees like cemetery fees, catering, monuments, musicians, and more. 

Nonetheless, the total is still relatively lower than other funeral homes, a solid choice for budget-conscious clients.

Pierson’s Funeral Service, Ltd. offers funeral and cremation services. They also have a variety of full-service funeral packages available. 

With over 39 years of experience, we are impressed with their consistent quality services from the initial contact to aftercare services.

That said, we like that they offer aftercare services which we think is crucial. 

What we like the most is their family follow-up service that assists with CPP benefit completion, reviewing private pension concerns, and bank issues. They also help with property title and estate concerns and the changing of names for utilities.

We believe these services help you avoid future complications with legalities and financial matters.

Furthermore, they have a no hidden fee guarantee which assures you that the price given over the phone or on their website will be the price you pay.

However, we noticed that their cremation services are slightly pricier than their competitors.

Notably, we appreciate their 100% service guarantee that makes them reduce or eliminate the charge of the services if you are dissatisfied with the outcome.

Finally, we like that Pierson’s Funeral Service, Ltd. offers out-of-town transfers. We think it’s convenient that they arrange the transfer of the deceased from Calgary to locations across Alberta, Canada, North America, or the world.

Mountain View Funeral Home & Cemetery helps clients design personalized ceremonies, receptions, cremation, and cemetery plans.

We think it’s a plus that they have an online booking system so clients can pick a schedule to discuss their plans with a funeral specialist – plus points for convenience! 

Another aspect that impressed us is their vast location, with 118 acres of cemetery gardens with certain spots where clients can choose to set up the ceremony. It also saves you from the long procession between facilities.

Plus, they have nature walks and ponds, which we think provide a thoughtful atmosphere for the guests. 

We also like that their funeral home chapel seats up to 275 people, which is relatively more than their counterparts.

On the downside, we figure they need to improve customer service, especially in responding to calls and emails. And they should upgrade their assistance to clients and guests during location visits or ongoing services.

On the bright side, we like that they have specialists for pre-planning to help you make decisions ahead of time. This service saves you thousands of dollars, reduces the responsibilities of your family, and gives you peace of mind.

Ultimately, we think Mountain View Funeral Home & Cemetery can provide a picture-perfect ceremony complete with the facilities you need.
