Wow, where do I begin. Thank you to EVERYONE who helped me through this process of my mom's passing. It was unexpected so I was a wreck. Right from notice and getting mum, to all final decisions, they walked me through or took the reigns and got things done. Even picked me up and dropped me off when I was stranded. My mom's blessing was so well done over and above what I could've imagined. Travis is an Angel, your mom is so proud of you. Thank you for the tribute DVD, Nathan and Nick. Trish, you are a blessing. Ralph, you have an amazing family and team I cant say thank you enough. Merry Christmas to all of you. Three guests will be contacting you based on what you did for the Dalke family. Love and blessings to you. Thank you Cornerstone.
Dear Travis - There are no words, and yet not enough words, to express my heartfelt, sincere thank-you in making my mother's tribute so very special! You are truly in the right place; not only as a profession but as a genuine, kind, sensitive and empathetic man. Your special touches made everything perfect. We all loved it - and I'm positive Mom did too. Thank you is not enough.
Words cannot express our thanks to Travis, Trish, and all of your staff for the great care and compassion you have shown us at our time of need. You went above and beyond for the with the care of my husband. We will be forever grateful.
Ralph and Travis - I can't thank-you enough for everything you did before, during and after the celebration of Doug's life. Your compassion and understanding was only surpassed by the beautiful service you created for our family and friends to gather and remember. I was touched by the special attention to detail and will cherish the beautiful photo you created for the day. It was perfect.
My experience with Cornerstone Funeral Home was above and beyond. The whole experience was much easier than I could have imagined and the staff went to great lengths to help in all ways possible. Even filling in forms service was a great help. Extremely professional and very competent. My expectations were clearly exceeded in a time of significant grief. Thank you.
Travis and staff - We would like to thank each and every one of you for the exemplary service. Your empathy, compassion and professionalism was outstanding. Real would be pleased that you were always going the extra mile without being asked and anticipating our needs at each turn. It make this unbearable loss just a little bit easier. Our family will be forever in your debt. We will sing your praises to all we know until we meet again.
Kinga - We would like to thank you for helping take care of our Mom after her passing. Your kindness, help and support from beginning to end was stellar and we're so glad it was you that we worked with to make this process easier. You're very excellent at your profession and your outgoing personality blended well with our family (to the point where we think we all fell a little in love with you and would welcome you into our fold). Trish and the rest of the staff were also a great help and we appreciate all that was done for us to ease us through this difficult time.
Dear Travis and staff - Words cannot express our sincere gratitude to you and your staff for the excellent, compassionate, professional care we received as we prepared to celebrate our Dad's life. From the two gentlemen who arrived the morning of Dad's passing to the final meeting with Trish, everything was wonderful. To you, Travis, you went above and beyond and showed so much love, compassion and patience with us as we were not quick to make decisions. The Graveside Service was made very special for us. Your idea of the music was perfect. The memorial card you designed was absolutely stunning; it is amazing how many friends and family have made comments about how beautiful the memorial card was. The extra time you spent on it did not go unnoticed. You mentioned at the Prayer Service luncheon that it was about being with us because you are a friend of the family. You are right, you are our friend. In closing, please know from the bottom of our hearts that we are extremely grateful for all that you did to help comfort us and help us celebrate our wonderful Dad. With love and thankful hearts,
Dear Travis, Kinga and the staff of Cornerstone Funeral Home - Words cannot express our gratitude to you, Kinga and your staff. From the moment you walked into Mom's house on the evening of her passing, to the time of placing her and our memories alongside our Dad, you listened to us. You gently supported our grief, our uncertainties, our family dynamics, our wishes and our mother's wishes. It is one thing to be a professional service... it is truly another thing when you deliver that service with such authenticity, insight and empathy. Thank you for being there for us! Forever grateful,
Dear Travis and Cornerstone Funeral Home team - In appreciation of your exceptional service provided to us during our time of grief. You and your staff portray the highest standard of sensitivity and professionalism. Thank you,
Dear Travis and staff at Cornerstone Funeral Home - Thank you so much for all your guidance and service with my Mom's funeral. I was impressed with your warmth, tact and professionalism.
Dear Travis, Trish and all the rest of the Cornerstone staff - Thank you so much for making a difficult time easier and worry-free. We so appreciate your personal care and attention to detail. Thank you so much.
Dear Kinga - Thank you for attending to our Mom's aftercare needs with such efficiency. Your knowledge and compassion were very helpful at such a time for us.
One of my dearest friends passed away, and I was thrust into the planning of her celebration of life along with her husband and family. I was repeatedly in awe of the service Travis provided. From jumping on board with our desire to honour Jenn with her unique personality and love of all things snow and Christmas, to saying up the night before the service to make paper snowflakes to ensure one of our wishes was taken care of, to finding me a quiet spot to have my cry after the service - I felt like her knew Jenn himself. He even asked his staff to bring their own Christmas trees in for our tree-strewn service. Her favourite colour was purple, so even the pen he provided for writing on our snowflakes was, of course, purple. No detail was missed, and after it was all said and done, I felt like I'd actually gained a friend. I never anticipated being the planner, but with Travis as our Funeral Director, our treasured Jenn received the best send-off imaginable. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to help people through their grieving process day in and day out, but I can tell you that Travis is exceptional at it.
Dear Travis and Kinga - Your service to my family and I was more than we could have asked for. You helped us to give Sheri a send-off that she deserved. You two went beyond every detail that mattered to us and guided us through the hardest even we've ever had in our lives. We thank you for this and feel we have gained two new friends. Sincerely,
Dear Travis - We cannot express enough gratitude for the comfort and compassion we received from Travis and family in the tragic loss of our sister. Cornerstone met an exceeded our requests which left us with the assurance of knowing all was taken care of. When Mom passed one and a half years later, we knew we wanted to return to them. We did not hesitate in calling the Cornerstone family knowing they would take care of us again. Sincerely,
Dear Travis and staff - It is hard to imagine a more perfect send-off for our mother than the one you helped plan and deliver. Your compassion, care, kindness and humour were very much appreciated during what might have been a very stressful time. Many thanks to all Cornerstone staff who facilitated our joyous day.
Dear Travis, Kinga and Cornerstone staff - You've all been so wonderful, it's hard to know how to begin to say thanks. Please know that your kindness will always be remembered. There are truly angels walking on Earth and we count you among them.
