My Mother passed away in January 2017, and we choose to use a Simply Cremations & Funeral Services (division of Evan J Strong funeral services). They talked a good story upon taking our money, but we were sadly mislead. Due to our grieving we decided to let them organize posting obituaries with Calgary Herald and Winnipeg Free press. I decided to followup on Friday morning before Saturday papers broke, and was told that nothing was submitted to papers. I was totally distraught, and was very upset due to there gross representation, of there services. When a family is going through the death of a family member, the last thing i thought of was worrying about death notices. I WAS WRONG.
Due to my call on Friday morning, they did manage to get obit in Calgary Herald, But the most important area for my mom was Winnipeg, which missed the Saturday deadline. The obituary did make the Winnipeg paper but not till Monday. I did not even get an apology from funeral director who i was dealing with. I believe her name was Cheryl. I would not recommend this business in your time of sorrow.
