I have to stress first that the staff and director was lovely and helpful. In the end I was happy with the ease of the process. However you do pay quite a bit for this ease and helpfulness. I was quite shocked and surprised by the high fixed costs of the funerary process. The costs of moving your loved one and fixed staff fees are outrageous. They do provide you with a couple of discounted paperwork services that, honestly, should be complimentary considering you can do them online yourself. The premises are old, dark and dated. The standard selection of urns and caskets again are gaudy and overpriced. We ended up ordering online, as a lot of people do, a lovely less expensive urn. The standard cremation casket is non eco-friendly mdf. I didn’t feel any pressure to pay immediately but I did regardless. Overall the process was smooth, professional, pleasant but informal and extremely expensive… and we didn’t even have a service for our tiny family. Someone needs to do a study on the industry. Even my deceased father said it’s not cheap to die in Manitoba.
I was intoduced to Thompson Funeral Home and their staff in the recent passing of my mom. I didn't know what to expect but they guided me thru everything. They were beyond helpful. So patient, so kind, so professional. I felt so comfortable talking with them like they were old friends. I would highly recommend them for anyone wanting a Funeral Home for their loved one. A very impressive place and staff. Thank you so very much.
