“Colin and the entire team at Burgar Funeral Home, thank you will never feel big enough.
You carried our family through one of the most brutal moments of our lives with care, patience, and compassion that went far beyond what anyone could expect from “a service.” Navigating my dad’s passing, especially with the complications from his LVAD and RVAD, the inability to embalm, and all the medical logistics that came with it, could have been overwhelming. Instead, you handled every detail with urgency, respect, and steady guidance when our world felt like it was falling apart.
The staff at the front, the quiet support, the explanations when we were too exhausted to think straight, the honesty mixed with kindness, it all mattered more than you will ever know. Even down to arranging the donation of his pacemaker to help someone else across the world… that meant something deeply human to us in the middle of grief.
You didn’t just do a job. You showed up for our family. You made an unbearable time lighter, steadier, and somehow even gentler. And yes, even when the conversations were hard or uncomfortable, you managed to meet us with empathy and a sense of calm that helped us breathe again.
We hope we don’t need you again for a very long time. But when that day eventually comes, we already know we would trust you with the people we love most.
Thank you for your heart, your professionalism, and the quiet strength you give families when they are at their weakest. It will never be forgotten.“
