Respectful, caring, and accommodating

I met Leslie the day after my sweet Dad passed away. She was sensitive, respectful, caring, and accommodating.

The service she gave us from start to finish has been above and beyond, with her personally delivering a second urn to us one year later that should have been picked up by another family member.

I have come away from the whole experience with one final thought, I wish my Dad could have met her when he was alive, he would have enjoyed her too!

Leslie was a pleasure to deal with

When my mother passed away we reached out to Simply Cremations to assist with the arrangements for our mother's cremation.

Leslie was a pleasure to deal with. We felt no pressure to purchase services we did not require and our interaction was handled in a professional, compassionate and relaxed manner.

Kind, warm, efficient, professional

Hi Leslie, I want to thank you for the beautiful space you provided for us to honour my Step-Father’s life. It was beautiful, and made everything so stress free. You provide exemplary service in every possible way. I would not think of using anyone else. You are such a pleasure in all ways, kind, warm, efficient, and professional. Thank you so much for everything you have done in handling my mother and then, my step-fathers cremation.
