EVENT ATTENDEE TESTIMONIALS

"We had nothing but exemplary, compassionate service and guidance from Park Memorial and their staff"


"While my Mother didn't pass away unexpectedly, her end came much more quickly than was expected. We had nothing but exemplary, compassionate service and guidance from Park Memorial (Edmonton) and their staff. Right from the top as owner Kirstie took my call while sick at home, to Shalea to Pamela to Jason, to the print shop to... well... EVERYONE. Park Memorial has our deepest thanks and strongest recommendation!"


Nick Fournier


"It was a tough time for our family and the fact that I live in Toronto made things even more difficult."


"This review is long overdue. When my cousin passed away last September, I was in charge of handling funeral planning. It was a tough time for our family and the fact that I live in Toronto made things even more difficult. But Gilla was amazing and really helped the process. I can't say enough. She was extremely patient since I had to relay and explain details to other family members. A big thank you to Gilla and the team!"


John Ly


"It was amazing to have them in our corner making sure this day was what we needed to set us on the path for the healing process that lay ahead."


"When my father passed away in February, the funeral planning seemed daunting at first. All of my worries dissipated one by one with every moment we had speaking with John. It has been almost a month since my dad's funeral, and my mom and I still think about how much genuine kindness, empathy, respect, and care we were shown by not only John, but Casey as well, who was the celebrant recommended by John. I cannot express enough gratitude to both of them for making this day into something so beautiful. It was amazing to have them in our corner making sure this day was what we needed to set us on the path for the healing process that lay ahead. I hope they know how much of an impact they had on my family. They just went above and beyond in every regard and I am forever grateful. It was a day I know my dad would be proud of. If I could give more than 5 stars, I really would."

"They guided me and my children every step of the way"


"I had the pleasure of dealing with Alexandra and her team of Professionals at Park Memorial Funeral home after the recent passing of My Wife. They guided me and my children every step of the way through the process of cremation, selecting an urn, Identification and all of the little details of the service. They took care of everything and gave us guidance for all of the things we needed to provide. We are proud to recommend this local business for all of your funeral needs."


Dave Rice


"We were treated extremely well, all our questions answered"


"My husband and daughter and I went in looking for an urn for my father in law and let me tell you how amazing the staff was. We were treated extremely well, all our questions answered, and we were able to take our time and not feel pressured to buy anything right then and there. It was an overall great experience. We did, however walk out with a beautiful urn. Huge thanks to the guys that helped us definitely would give more than just 5 stars if I could."


Robin Andrews


"I hope to not have to do this again anytime soon but I know for sure when the time comes they will be by our side again."


"Dealing with a loss one in the family is never easy. Working with park memorial funeral home they have made the process so easy for our family. Working with Alexandra - she was so amazing. She was caring and compassionate and provided help with all the information not with just the service but with everything else outside the service as well. Our family can never thank her and the people at Park Memorial funeral home enough for everything they did and we will always be forever grateful. I hope to not have to do this again anytime soon but I know for sure when the time comes they will be by our side again."


Steven Nguyen


"The level of care and compassion I received from everyone is very much appreciated and made a horribly traumatizing event as painless as possible."


"Park Memorial was amazing. These people have one of the hardest jobs on the planet. Constantly surrounded by sad people, yet they maintain a loving, caring and respectful demeanour. The level of care and compassion I received from everyone is very much appreciated and made a horribly traumatizing event seamless and as painless as possible. Bless you all and all your hard work."


Jodi Byrne-Marsh


"We had no idea where to go with respect to funeral arrangements but are so happy we picked Park Memorial."


"Back in May 2020 we lost my wife/mother/sister and a friend to many. We had no idea where to go with respect to funeral arrangements but are so happy we picked Park Memorial. I hope we are not in the market to use a funeral home in the near future but if we are…. There really is no choice. Thank you Park Memorial!"


Terry Lashyn


"our staff made an unbearable situation bearable. Your kindness will not be forgotten."


"I cannot say enough about the care and service your Park Memorial Family provides to your clients. We encountered several of your staff while making arrangements, and your staff is truly a Family who work together to provide clients with outstanding service during a very difficult, trying time. Your staff made an unbearable situation bearable. Your kindness will not be forgotten."

Guest Blog: Men and Grief

By Mike Cameron • November 5, 2024
What does it mean for a man to grieve “Correctly?” Better question… “Who gets to decide what “correctly” looks like for you? According to grief experts like Dr. Alan Wolfelt, there is no one-size-fits-all model of grief. All of our journeys are unique. And while I know this to be true, the reality is that most men I have spoken to feel a lot of pressure about how they are supposed to grieve.

Connection Through Shared Experiences

By Kristi Hammond • October 27, 2023
If the positive side of social media has taught us anything, it’s that something pretty special happens when people connect through shared experiences. Whether they connect through a passion for Disney vacations, are avid gardeners, or – yes – even connect because of shared loss and grief – there is power in that shared connection.

Christmas Traditions After the Loss of a Loved One

By Park Memorial • December 1, 2021
Christmas brings complicated feelings when one is grieving the loss of a loved one. While the absence of that person is palpable in the season’s celebrations, there are several meaningful ways to honour their memory during the holidays. Traditions are a big part of the holidays for most families.

Why Should I Preplan My Funeral?

By Park Memorial • December 1, 2021
When a loved one dies, there are many decisions to be made, ranging from their final disposition (burial or cremation), to location, officiant, obituary, eulogy, song choices, florals, and many more. It is likened to planning a wedding, as it has as many decisions and moving parts as a wedding does, but unlike a wedding, it is often planned and held in under one week’s time.

How To Talk About Final Wishes?

By Park Memorial • October 12, 2021
Society holds such fear and ‘taboo’ around talking about death and dying. Park Memorial is committed to normalizing the conversation around death and dying in our community.

Choose an Executor – And Choose Wisely!

By Park Memorial • September 11, 2019
Some of our most critical life decisions to be made affect outcomes after we die. One of those is naming an executor in our will. Almost as important as the will itself, choosing one’s executor can mean the difference between your final wishes being honoured and carried out as per your instruction, or being changed and completely disregarded.
