Dunphy's Funeral Home

Went above and beyond. Ron is a professional and thought of everything.

Dunphy's has a long tradition of taking care of the people of Conception Bay and surrounding areas. Their level of compassion and care is unmatched.

First of all, I never thought I would be writing a Google review for a funeral home, but my Dad recently passed away on October 14th, 2021 (suddenly, but peacefully), and I have to take a few moments to share my experience. Funeral Director/Owner, Ron Fitzpatrick was compassionate, kind and extremely professional from start to finish guiding me through the wake and funeral process for my Dad. He handled everything with the sensitivity and ease needed to get things organized. The day I had to come into Dunphy's and sign off on various documents, select an Urn, choose a bulletin and complete all the other miscellaneous items that required my attention, I never once felt rushed, prodded, or like it was business as usual". He communicated all the logistical items pertaining to Dad's wake

Kind and professional staff , hard working family run business. but their new crematorium is subpar , lower than typical Cana cremation association of North America . recommended operating temperature ( 1000 Fahrenheit ) during mid burn cycle vs (1400 to 1800 Fahrenheit ) , which is inefficient and could potentially cause emissions complaints from neighbours . And longer wait times . Thankfully no reported issues as of yet ! Unlikely but possibly due to a lower btu primary chamber burner , in lower priced retorts . But it’s a small family run business after all . They are doing their best and are good neighbours for the people of holyrood . I’m just pointing the facts I gathered on their website out . Lower temperatures don’t always mean higher emissions though . if the afterburner is well maintained and has a long retention time , and is significantly hotter than the primary chamber . It will be just fine !
