Sands Funeral Chapel Cremation and Reception Centre (Colwood)

Julie and the staff at Sands Funeral Chapel Colwood were amazing to work with in helping plan our sons funeral last summer. Planning an unexpected service during Covid made for an extra hard time. They all made this emotional time a lot easier with their kind and caring nature. Everyone showed so much empathy to every single member of our family and friends who could attend. Their attention to detail for the service as well as following the Covid protocols was appreciated. We will forever be grateful for their help in our time of sorrow. Thank you Julie and team.

With much appreciation to Kirsten and Cindy at Colwood Sands, I send extreme gratitude for their kindness and compassion during my weakest hours. They so graciously handled my father's arrangements with the utmost dignity. I highly recommend contacting them in your time of need. Nancy Aldridge

Sands Colwood staff were exemplary from start to finish when my beloved husband Jacques passed away. They were patient and considerate and answered all of our questions. The funeral itself went extremely well and many people were able to attend via live stream, which meant family and friends in eastern Canada and in the USA could join with us in celebrating Jacques. The video tribute they put together for us was wonderful. The Directors, Julie and Kirsten were caring and very attentive as was Chuck at Hatley Memorial Gardens. The hostess for the reception following was lovely and helpful to each one who came. We are filled with gratitude for the amazing comfort and care we received as a family. Thank you all so very much. Andrea Gaudet de Lestard and family.

Sands handled the recent death of my mother with such compassion and kindness. They always were quick to respond to all the questions I had and we felt very well taken care of. Lindsey was so great and was very accommodating with the many changes I had.

I would highly recommend Sands Funeral Chapel in Colwood. The staff are extremely kind, caring and compassionate. They made dealing with the arrangements to do with the recent death of my husband that much easier. Everything was clearly explained. Special thanks to Kirsten and Cindy, with whom my son and I dealt directly.

Our dad passed away during the holidays and the people at Sands helped us through the whole arrangement regardless of the day and how terrible the roads were with the snow and ice. We dealt mainly with Kirsten, she was very compassionate and helpful.

My father passed away suddenly in April. During the hardest time of our life, Sands staff went above and beyond our expectations. We could not of wanted more. They were respectful, caring, listened to what our wishes were and did as much as they could for us. We so appreciated everything they did, what a wonderful staff!

We want to thank Sands staff for their loving, compassionate care of our family, they took care of every detail right down to the food for the reception afterwards. We felt SO cared for at a time of great grief, I would highly recommend them to any family going through the loss of a loved one.SincerelyCheryl Phillips (of the Roy Glazer family)
