Our uncle found Tony and his company, Can-Trust, through an ad and i am glad fate brought us together. Tony went above and beyond to answer my family's questions and listen to our concerns. He was incredibly patient and honest with us throughout whole process. Due to the BC Wildfire ban, many burial homes no longer allow burning on property grounds. The ritual of burning joss paper and other items is very important in my culture. Fortunately, Tony was able to accommodate to my family's needs. We went to Tony for everything and anything related to the funeral and burial process. We were able to focus on grieving and healing as Tony made the process extremely easy and convenient for us. We decided to go ahead with Tony and his company for the headstone, casket and burial services, and chapel rental. Tony didn't just take care of the process, but took care of my family as well. I am genuinely really satisfied with Can-Trust and would recommend their services to families who may need it in the future.

After meeting with Jennifer, the service director, I knew that I made the right choice. Jennifer was so efficient, helping us through every step of my mother's funeral planning. She was very professional, accommodating, and respectful, allowing us to plan the service according to our family faith and traditions and being very understanding when we wanted to make last minute requests. Because of her help and comforting advice, on the day of the funeral, my family and I felt more prepared, mentally and emotionally. Our entire family sends gratitude and appreciation to Jennifer and the staff of Delta Funeral Home for their hard work, support, and comfort they provided at these tough times for us.

Unfortunately, we sought the services of this funeral home at the time we needed them when we were…read morein sorrow and grieving the sudden loss of my husband, considering its proximity to our residence. We were assigned to the very incompetent Larry D. Thompson. First of all, we were forced to get their very expensive catering services saying that they don't allow outside food in their premises. The food was awful, the chow mein was so salty, it was just thrown into waste. Secondly, on the viewing day, there was no guest book provided. When asked, Larry said we didn't ask for it. That's a very basic item that should be part of the funeral services package. Then, we were not asked about the "thank you" cards. We ended up designing our own and have them printed. These are services that we are not familiar with. It's the task of Larry to present these things to us. Finally and worst of all, we ordered for some cross pendants to put some ashes of my deceased husband. Before I picked up my husband's ashes from this funeral home, I texted Larry to make sure he had saved some for the ordered pendants. He confirmed he saved some already, only to be advised later and after my husband was interred, that there was no ashes saved for the pendants. This is very disrespectful to the dead and a very unreliable service considering they're are dealing with a grieving family who relied on them to provide the best final services for my husband. Now, the only item that can keep him close to us is no longer available because of this very irresponsible funeral director Larry Thompson.

I had absolutely no idea what I was heading into, but as it turned out, I had the good fortune of…read moreattending the Peace Arch Hospice Society presentation of "A Night of Comedy Dedicated to Finding Comfort, Community, and Healing Through Humour." What an amazing evening! In fact, it was one of the best comedy events I've ever had the pleasure of attending. The evening's title was perfectly chosen: Grief n' Giggles - Coffin Up Comedy. If that name alone doesn't make you smile, the performers certainly will. Perhaps the most unexpected part of the evening was the venue itself: Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre. Having only lived in White Rock for a short time, I had no idea this beautiful facility even existed. And before you let the words "funeral home" scare you off, don't. It's a stunning property with peaceful grounds that are perfect for a nature walk. Not exactly the first place that comes to mind when someone says, "Want to get some fresh air?" but maybe it should be. The brochure featured the tagline: "They say laughter is the best medicine, so we're throwing an event all about healing with humour -- no prescription required." Judging by the roughly 300 people in attendance, I'd say the prescription was filled. The evening was expertly hosted by Cliff Prang, who didn't miss a beat. OMG, he was hilarious. Melanie Rose and Vanessa Woznow rounded out the comedy roster, and together they delivered a night of laughter that had the audience roaring. You know how it is when you walk into a venue you've never been to before. There's the cautious step through the doorway, followed by the obligatory scan of the room to make sure you haven't accidentally wandered into the wrong event. In my case, I was greeted by no fewer than five different people: one welcomed me, two signed me in, one escorted me to the elevator, and finally there was the handsome gentleman whose sole duty appeared to be pressing the elevator button. I've never felt so important in my life. Once on the second floor, I discovered an entire reception area dedicated to mingling, complete with beautifully arranged buffet tables offering complimentary food and beverages. This came as a complete surprise since admission was by donation only. I had come prepared for comedy, not hors d'oeuvres. Needless to say, I adapted quickly. Later, the same elevator gentleman took the time to point out a beautifully handcrafted horse-drawn coffin carriage dating back to the 1890s. It was an extraordinary piece of craftsmanship and a fascinating glimpse into local history. Stunning woodwork and well worth a look. A special shout-out goes to two lovely ladies, Jeanette and Rosetta, whom I met while enthusiastically sampling the buffet. Rosetta is a vivacious volunteer at the Peace Arch Hospice Society Thrift Store, which apparently provides significant funding for the Society's programs. Another shout-out goes to the lady seated beside me, whose infectious laugh kept me laughing throughout the show. Sometimes laughter is contagious in the very best way. Finally, a heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers and organizers who helped make this first-class event possible. From the warm welcome to the delicious refreshments and the outstanding comedy, everything was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed. If this was my first Peace Arch Hospice Society event, it certainly won't be my last.

During the traditional church service, Gwen took care of every detail and not only did she do that she checked up on me and my daughters to make sure we were doing okay.

From the church service to the cemetery, Gwen ensured that the driver waited for our immediate family members so that we could all drive behind one another- which was extremely respectful of her and she made sure to honor our family traditions. During the funeral, Gwen organized and lead our family members so that everything went smoothly. Not only was Gwen professional, kind, patient and caring, she was also truly supportive and genuine. We will forever be thankful for her help. I would highly recommend Henderson's Langley Funeral Home.

They walk you through gently and give you private time with your loved one to prepare you (which really helped) before everyone comes to pay their respect. They never pushed anything on me and no surprises with pricing, it was all laid out and easy to understand. They really made a tragedy bearable for me and my 3 boys.
