After the death of my father, my entire family found DeStefano Funeral Home to be a most comforting, helpful, and caring host. They made sure that we were fully prepared for the service and visitations. Offering help in every aspect of the funeral process, we felt confident that everything was taken care of. Whether it was allowing us extra time, not pushing sales, and being understanding with our grief, they always made us feel like family. The food provided after the service was well liked and everything felt seamless. Adrienne was with us throughout the entire time and she ensured that the process was exactly how we wanted it. They took the time and care to make personalized recommendations as well. In all, we are so very thankful for DeStefano and their entire staff.

Graham and Adrian made my experience with laying my father to rest seamless; especially during such a difficult time. They were so accommodating of all request; big or small. The personal touches were above and beyond. Not to mention how compassionate they were. I've dealt with other funeral homes and not received the level of service that I received with DeStefano Funeral Home. Thank you for the support during such difficult time.

I would recommend this funeral home to everyone. The staff here, were exceptional. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. Somehow, through their kindness, professionalism and attention, we managed to get through the devastating experience of saying good bye to our beautiful daughter. Adrienne, Graham and Katie went above and beyond for our entire family.We are very grateful. Thank you.

From our first meeting to the last detail of the Celebration of Life - every single aspect from service to atmosphere exceeded our expectations. Adrienne was extremely helpful, kind and compassionate. She guided us through our options and helped tailor our service to meet our needs. I would, without hesitation, highly recommend the Destefano Funeral Home. In addition, the overall costs were very reasonable and clearly presented to us with a variety of options to meet our budget. There was no high pressure to do this or do that, but rather a friendly, informed and straight-forward approach to accommodating our wishes within our financial framework. The video tribute was phenomenal and professionally completed. It may sound weird to say that a Celebration of Life was amazing, but it's the truth. What a tribute to my mom, who I know was watching from above with a smile and absolute approval. Thank you, Adrienne and the entire staff at Destefano.Sincerely,The St. Jean Family

Thank you so much to the DeStefano Funeral Home for their amazing support to my family following the death of my father. We'd especially like to thank Graham and Janice for going the extra mile to understand our special circumstance. Your compassion and empathy went a long way to making a difficult time much easier. The service for our father was memorable for all.Sincerely, the Roberts sisters.

Dear Adrienne, Graham and the staff of De Stefano Funeral Home,We would like to extend our sincere gratitude for the first-class services you provided for the matriarch of our family, Eulalia “Nanay Aling” Jimenez.From the initial phone call, you were able to accommodate our every hope and wish for Nanay’s funeral.

Graham provided the right amount of respectful humour to lighten the mood whenever we had to find him to ask for anything.Your facility is beyond beautiful and our family and friends were impressed by the organization and handling of COVID protocols and the serving of the food and beverages.Thank you for giving us the perfect memories of Nanay’s celebration of life. We are truly grateful for making this past week so easy and effortless for our grieving family. Nanay would have been so proud!We wish you all health and continued success.Sincerely,Nanay’s Family

These people are fantastic! My dad is Scottish and demanded ‘no funeral, cremation, no lingering.’ Typical Scott, God bless his heart an soul. We dealt with Graham, the funeral director, and he took us under his wing. He made us laugh when we though we couldn’t, he allowed me to be beligerant and emotional when I called him the night my dad died, he gave us sound advice about dealing with people when you are grieving, he gave us his personal number … this man is not just a funeral director, he is now my friend. Go no further than DeStefano.

At DeStefano’s Funeral Home, from the first greeting until the last good-bye our experience was incredible. Graham and his staff were warm, kind and professional. The offered us comfort and put us at ease at a very difficult time in our lives.They quickly made us feel that they would help get us through all the arrangements that had to be made, which can be very over whelming. Graham listened to all our wishes for our Mother’s “Celebration of Life” and never once did he push anything different on us. He took control of everything, relieving us from a very large burden. Every wish was met in a speedy and professional manner, but not for a minute did we feel we had to make quick decisions. Graham spent a huge amount of time with us covering every aspect of the preparations that were to be made. He met with all family members involved with making the decisions for our Mother.On the day of our Mother’s “Celebration of Life” the only thing we had to do was arrive. Graham had gone above and beyond. The room where we greeted guests was set up so elegantly, meeting all our wishes to honour a loving, elegant woman that was our Mom. Graham and his wonderful staff made the “Celebration of our Mother’s life” very memorable. We cannot say enough about how they lifted our hearts and left us with only all the great memories and love we all shared with our Mom.Thank you Graham, Stephanie, Jan and June. We will never forget all that you did for us.With our deepest appreciation,Sincerely, Jeff, Mary-Ruth, Courtney, Bradley and Lisa and Family.
