“My name is Christine and I am a Celebrant based in Guelph, Ontario. I follow you folks on social media and really resonate with your approach. I'm also passionate about changing how death and ceremonies around it happens in our culture. I'm writing to say thank you for being so awesome. I'm working with a family to create a memorial for their young son who died last month in Vancouver. They told me that they were treated so well by you folks. They spoke of your compassion, your authenticity, and how supported they felt by you. This was in contrast to another more standard funeral home where they said they felt "sold to" instead of treated as grieving loved ones (they walked out of that place). How you choose to be and what you choose to do matters and has an impact. Thank you for that. All the best, Christine Lafazanos Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant woven-threads.ca christine@woven-threads.ca 519-823-0038 Facebook |Instagram”

Ngaio helped us personalize a funeral service and took care of every detail up to the delivery of the ashes following cremation. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and empathy in helping us through the process during a very difficult time was very impressive. Her rates are competitive, and the extra touches she included were much appreciated. I highly recommend Ngaio Davis and Classic Cremation if you are looking for a cremation and funeral service provider.”
“I found Classic Cremation online when searching Google for an urn. As many unfortunately figure out, the process of putting a loved one to rest is extremely emotional and stressful.
