When our father passed away we were overwhelmed with figuring out the next steps and when exploring options for cremation our family was met with outrageous quotes. Almost immediately upon talking with Kathy she put our mind at ease. She was upfront about the cost of services, offered a reasonable rate and provided us options for urns that met our family’s needs. She was kind in her demeanour and offered compassionate condolences on our loss. She provided us with a framework of further actions that may need to take place, which helped to give us direction in a disorientating time.

Kathy, the funeral director, made this process seem less threatening and morbid as she is very personable and accessible. However, as they state, this is a very efficient and basic service (the location for viewing ain’t fancy) so if you prefer a more upscale type farewell perhaps choose their traditional Trinity services instead. We are delaying our Celebration of Life until later in the year so this worked well for us. Thanks again Kathy, we appreciate your endless patience and assistance this past month with our countless corrections regarding, first, the obituary and then the stack of paperwork you completed for us.

Since she prepaid with a particular funeral home for her plot and urn, I thought I’d have her cremated there for convenience. She was actually tricked by their salesman in 2008 and thought she was paying for all her services. That funeral home tried to take advantage of me because I was grieving, and I didn’t have any family support, so I was alone. I was in a panic when all my fees came to several thousands of dollars, so I googled “cheap cremations Edmonton.” That was when I found Value Cremations. Kathy saved me from a huge financial hardship. She was kind, patient and professional, explaining why such places make people identify deceased, to make them pay for embalming, that identification is not necessary because the hospital has already identified them. She explained that they use a cardboard box, versus the $1,375 cremation casket the other place was making me purchase in addition to their cremation fees. She also told me that it was possible to have my mother’s money refunded from the other funeral home. Value cremations transported my mother to their location and performed the cremation. There really are no hidden fees here, what they advertise or tell you up front is really what you pay. I was not pressured to purchase anything else. I am truly thankful for Kathy’s help.

She paid for a expedited cremation. It took 9 business days before receiving the ashes. Not sure if it was worth the extra fee?

Had such a great experience with down to earth people who went above and beyond. It makes all the difference during grief. Gio is just amazing as are the other staff. May you be blessed. The name of the business doesn't do this service the justice it deserves, in my opinion 🙂 [createTime] => 2024-11-17 00:00:00 [updateTime] => 2024-11-17 00:00:00 [reviewReply] => stdClass Object ( ) [fromUrl] => https://www.google.com/maps/place/?q=place_id:ChIJX3D6BwOqV0MRLtNdXND_-Ao ) [32] => stdClass Object ( [name] => Edmonton [reviewId] => [reviewer] => Array ( [profilePhotoUrl] => https://valuecremations.ca/wp-content/uploads/wprevslider/avatars/1733270400_33.png [displayName] => Samantha Ward [isAnonymous] => ) [starRating] => FIVE [scoreRating] => 1 [comment] => If you are looking for a place that values your passed loved one and treats your family with compassion in a time of grief, if you are looking for a place that will guide you through the entire process of making arrangements and all of the paperwork, DO NOT GO HERE. Especially if you are indigenous. Especially if Kathy is the one helping you. This place is very disorganized, negligent, and overall lacks compassion. You will be made to do their jobs for them while they make careless mistakes. Kathy will make every attempt to deflect blame onto the grieving family over her own careless mistakes instead of taking accountability. This place will make your time of grief very difficult with all of the extra issues that they add on top of everything. Kathy will do anything to get extra money, whether that be demanding payment from the grieving family without even checking that the full amount was paid (spoiler: it was), leaving out jewelry items (valued at over $500!) that were paid for then stating that she will need extra payment without even checking the invoice to see that the missing pieces have already been paid for (spoiler: they were already paid for she just forgot them). Kathy and value cremations will also provide you with damaged cremation jewelry valued at over $200! When you ask who to file a complaint to over her negligence, Kathy will completely avoid your question and continuously make excuses, then claim she’s the manager and will refuse to give you anyone else’s contact information. If you are looking for a place that will make you distrust having your loved one in their care, make you wait close to 2 months to receive your loved ones remains, who will blame you over their own careless mistakes, who will find any opportunity to try to milk you for more money, and who will not show you any compassion in your time of grief: then this is the perfect place for you! If you absolutely have to go here then Sara would be the best person to help you. Avoid Kathryn (Kathy) Sitek AT ALL COSTS. Sara is very compassionate and very good at communicating. Also- this company will delete bad reviews. This is my second or third time posting, THIS PLACE DELETES REVIEWS. Keep that in mind when considering the reviews.

They not only offer affordable services, they are so helpful with all the things you may or may not have thought of. They completed all our death notifications and paperwork that was needed for our particular situation. Kathy was so compassionate and accommodating - thank you Kathy ❤️ [createTime] => 2024-12-02 00:00:00 [updateTime] => 2024-12-02 00:00:00 [reviewReply] => stdClass Object ( ) [fromUrl] => https://www.google.com/maps/place/?q=place_id:ChIJX3D6BwOqV0MRLtNdXND_-Ao ) )
