We met with Mora to do our pre funeral planning. It was the BEST meeting i ever did for me and my dad! Its sooo important to do the pre planning, and she was more than fantastic at explaining everything. Such a wonderful compassionate person!!
The McEvoy team, went above and beyond what I wanted for my husband’s funeral! Nothing was too much to ask and they made it all happen and more!! I was totally exhausted after the first wake, but was so happy with the amount of love that I felt in that room during the wake for my dear husband!! A very special thank you to Barry and Lorne! Will be forever grateful to both of them!!
