When people ask us, “How is it that I can save money?” Well, a lot of it would come down to, what is important in the funeral or what isn’t.

You don’t need to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on, on a casket. Um, any type of casket will, will suffice. So that would be one way of, of cutting back on expenses. There are many ways. You don’t necessarily need to have a full blown reception.

There is actually quite a bit that you can do to reduce the cost of your funeral. The biggest one being to prearrange it and prepay it. You know, people that are in their 40’s and 50’s and 60’s, that are healthy, if they prearrange a funeral, meaning you pick out exactly what you are wanting for a funeral and you pay at today’s, or that days prices, you don’t have to worry about those items again when you pass away.

And if there’s things that just, you know, require for budget constraints, the purchase of less, less expensive merchandise, less expensive casket, then I respect that. Um, I think it would be wrong to impose hardship – financial hardship – because someone has died.

They took care of me like family.

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.
