    We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Philip Cheng and the entire team for…read moretheir outstanding support during a very difficult time for our family. Philip demonstrated exceptional professionalism and deep knowledge throughout the entire process. More importantly, he showed genuine care and thoughtfulness toward my aunt's family, which brought us great comfort. Every detail of the funeral service was handled with sensitivity and respect. We were especially touched by the kindness shown to my uncle, who uses a wheelchair. Despite the wet and muddy conditions, Philip and the staff went above and beyond to carefully assist him, ensuring he could move through safely and have the opportunity to personally say his final farewell to his beloved wife. This act of compassion meant more to us than words can express. The arrangements were well-organized, smooth, and incredibly helpful, allowing us to focus on remembering and honoring our loved one without added stress. We are truly grateful for the guidance and compassion shown to us. Thank you again to Philip and the team for your dedication and heartfelt service. Highly recommended.

The highland could help to arrange Buddhist chanting, they could also help to arrange the makeup artist for her. It was a really smooth funeral for the family to say goodbye to her. They would also travel all the way to the cemetery and help us complete the entire closing process. During the process, it filled with so much tears, but still had a warm goodbye, even though the staff made some mistakes, and we understood that.

Once I found out my brother's autopsy was done , we've arranged a meeting with the funeral home. I got the email for things to be pre-filled and the costing PDF so I was well prepared of what's available. We clarified the cremation process and paid for the service. We were in and out within 1.5 hours. As painful as it was emotionally, at least the arranging of the service was painless. Hopefully I never have to use their services again, but for people who needs a funeral home, this place is well established.

    I would've written a review about this place last year, but I was still grieving the loss of two…read morebeloved grandparents 19 days apart. At the time of writing this review, I've been to three funerals at Elgin Mills Funeral Centre. The first was pre-COVID-19, where the service and the burial was very well conducted. The staff were extremely professional and well mannered. Honestly, nothing to complain about. The second funeral was during COVID-19 in the winter, where only 10 people were allowed to gather outdoors. Everyone else would have to remain in their cars and watch from there. It was a simple funeral, where the casket was brought to the burial spot. There was a moment of silence, then bowing to respect the one gone. Afterwards, the casket was lowered into the ground and then buried. The official funeral is OVER. Everyone else watching in the car were able to come out and offer their respect in groups of 10. Again, nothing much to complain about this experience. The third funeral was 19 days later, and my family decided to do the exact same thing as the second one, since it was with the same extended family. THIS TIME, we encountered some issues. We hired pallbearers, because there was only a limit of 10 people at the funeral, but hired pallbearers don't count, which is good if you're short on people to carry the casket. ONE of the pallbearers that we hired parked her car RIGHT by the road of the burial site. I can understand that she probably wanted to get out as soon as her task of carrying the casket was finished BUT for family members who were ACTUALLY THERE for the funeral, we could not see the funeral from our car. What the pallbearer did got noticed by the funeral director, but he couldn't get her to move her car until AFTER the casket was brought up, which was super frustrating because it broke the solemn mood. I believe the funeral director and the funeral centre need to train their employees better on WHERE to park their cars. Especially with COVID-19 and how there's a limit for how many people can gather, getting a good view from the car is important. They need to take a lesson from Tina Lee, CEO of T&T Supermarket, who teaches her employees to park FAR from the entrance so that customers are able to get the best parking spots. Also, in the third funeral, I did NOT appreciate how one of the employees stepped on the casket as it was being lowered. THAT AIN'T COOL and SUPER DISRESPECTFUL. Instead of using your feet, USE YOUR HANDS to adjust the casket placement! FINALLY... recently, when visiting my grandparents' grave, we brought two flower arrangements to honour them. We haven't got the tombstone for the grave yet as it takes time to get it made. TWO WEEKS LATER, when we were back... the flower arrangements were destroyed with tractor marks seen over them. HOW DISRESPECTFUL!!!!! I know we got a lot of snow, but it doesn't mean you could just run the tractor like whatever. Like seriously, just because they're dead and you don't know them doesn't mean other people didn't love them when they were alive. Please treat the dead with respect!!! From all of these experiences with Elgin Mills Funeral Centre, I could only offer 2 stars to this place. I neither recommend nor not recommend them. Just meeeehhhh... Only one word of advice: If you are coming here for a funeral, make sure you have a STERN TALK with the funeral director on how he runs his staff BEFORE the funeral.

I did mention that the maintenance of the graveyard is really good in my last review... well my dad recently told me that during a visit in the past, we came by in the morning, and by the time my uncle's family visited later that day, our flowers were already missing. I'm not sure if they are so on top of maintaining the place that they already threw out our flowers before the end of the day or someone took it. But who takes flowers for the dead anyways?! We also notice the tombstone for our family and others are sliding slightly off center from the base.... so we'll have to send them a note to see if they can shift it back to the center. This year we are trying something different. We bought potted flowers and planted it on the ground next to the grave. Let's see on our next visit for Father's day if it's still there or alive. Likely unrelated though, I did just read a recent news article that there has been a string of thefts across 8 cemeteries including this one for valuable jewelry (especially inside mausoleum compartments). So those who have above ground urns or compartments, might want to check their niches or reconsider including any valuables inside.

    If there were more stars to rate, I would select them. What a fabulous team…read more Imagine the stress of planning a wedding... in 3 days... well this is the level of planning needed for a funeral - and all on 1/8 of one's brain power! - trying to make decisions in the grieving stage is like trying to plan it on a rollercoaster, there's just only so much processing power, and SO much going on. Jill is extremely professional and compassionate. They are happy to handle as much or as little as you want. Whether it be facility, flowers, food, brochures, order of service bulletin, at a church, at their hall, at some of each, at none. Like a genie your wish is their command. Small or extravagant they are happy to do both or either - with the same level of professionalism. Lots of options for every price range. They also did the go-between communication for the cemetery, and have contacts for all the churches in town, and know all the right people to connect with, including the newspaper. They are just as happy if you want church to provided sandwiches or you to provide your own flowers, but if you'd rather not, they can do that too. Skwarchuck was wonderful with my family, and so accommodating and gracious with our extended family and friends at my mom's and sister's funerals. Never missed a beat, never dropped a ball, anticipated all and every need (such as does the deceased wear glasses? and added them such that the visual experience is how we know to see the person). They provide a handbook for after the funeral such as who to call to change information (Banks, insurance, gov't... and other places like elections Canada!) Pre-Planning - I would HIGHLY recommend... we thought all along my father in law wanted to be cremated and here when we asked him, he wants to be buried! They were excellent at pre-planning for my own father, they make it very neutral so no one feels bad, actually it's a huge relief, now that family doesn't have to bear the burden, and can just focus on the moment itself and not the 1000 details of a funeral, never-mind contacting all the family & friends. 1000 thank you's Skwarchuck Bradford location for taking such good care of my family. xoxo

To think I was 24 and the burden was on me to choose, organize, coordinate, hire and make all the decisions. Dixon-Garland made the process very smooth. I chose Dixon-Garland after meeting and talking with all funeral homes in Markham. ALL of them, yes. My intuition told me it was Dixon-Garland who will create the most beautiful funeral. Beautiful it was, and more. Many funeral homes provide the service "as is" meaning you don't/won't need to adjust. You hire them and they perform, very easy and mindless. Markham has many funeral homes for the Chinese and will follow traditions, which is always a nice touch. Okay so, long story short, I broke a few funeral traditions and Chinese whatever. I also didn't like that I was directed immediately to a Chinese rep when they find out I am Chinese (over the phone and in-person). Dixon-Garland acted the opposite. They treated me with respect regardless of how childish/young I seem. And I love them for it. Also I was in charge and not my relatives, thank goodness. Dixon-Garland was the most accommodating and the most approachable. On the day of the funeral, the staff were patient with my demanding relatives. Patience doesn't even describe their professionalism. They are the nicest people I met EVER and very calm. They are easy to work with, very responsive, and they are magnificent. This was not the day I want to deal with drama. I thought a funeral is just a funeral but after seeing what they did, it was honestly a perfect ending. It's thanks to Dixon-Garland (and St. Patrick Parish) that life became sweet. Besides, a funeral isn't for my mother as everyone would like to think. It's for my dad. Also selfishly the funeral was for me. We are the people who continue to live on and carry something called "memories."
