Gamdur is a cheat and crook of top line. He wants to take every penny out of you and cheat you out of your tragedy. I would highly recommend to go elsewhere. Gamdur is the ring leader of cheats.

The Johnston family and staff were very professional, caring and helpful. They conducted every meeting in a very sympathetic and caring manners. All details were delivered as promised, my mother's ceremony and reception was above and beyond. They made everything easier during a difficult time in my life. I highly recommend them.

Highly recommend this location in your time of need. The service and care they took with our family when our Daddy passed was beyond all expectations. We felt like they went above and beyond to make this heartbreaking day feel less overwhelming. They handled everything with such exceptional consideration.

Recently I was helping Shah family in grief, due to passing away of Dhirenbhai Shah. During the difficult times and my having minimal knowledge about funeral and last rites, the directors of Park Place Funeral home helped us every step of the way. Mrs. & Mr. Brar and Jim were wonderful, professional, compassionate, kind and considerate. Few observations that left an impression on me: - In their serving all local religions and denominations, they also possess very good knowledge of JAIN / HINDU, SIKH & BUDDHIST funeral rites. They made special arrangements to accommodate the ritual, where-in the son of the deceased person goes around the pyre, three times and later breaks the earthen water pot full of water, while chanting Mantras… - The Shah family was instructed by a Jain Monk that the body of the deceased should be cremated within hours of the soul’s passing away. There were some difficulties with the family’s expectation of being able to cremate the body on the same day of the death and the time it would take to receive approval from the coroner’s office. The funeral home kept on top of the issue and made it sure to follow up with the coroner’s office and ensure that the approvals were received within 12 hours instead of the required 24 hours! Awesome job there. - Because the cremation ceremony was happening within 36 hours of the death, we had multiple members of the community (other than family) asking questions to Mr. Brar and I found he was very courteous in answering everyone’s questions. - We had forgotten to bring the white blanket to cover the body of Dhirenbhai……The Brar’s, who are ingrained in the service to the community, came to immediate relief and arranged for the white blanket and helped reduce the stress of running around at last minute. - There is no place we would rather pay respects to dear Dhirenbhai Vasantalalji Shah more, than at Park Place funeral Home. - This is to just to say, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart”.

Outstanding service from start to finish, felt like it was a friend helping us rather than a business of the sudden passing of my Mother. The empathy and genuine caring nature from Mr.Brar helped us tremendously give my Mom the send off she deserved. Would definitely recommend them .

They treat you like family and they give dignity and respect to your loved one. Jim and Maria went above and beyond to make the arrangements easier for me. They really do care about people at a time that is difficult.

First of all I never thought I would be writing a review for a funeral home however Satvir Brar and the staff are the reason why they are named best funeral home. They blended in with guest and you could tell they genuinely care and want to help make everything seamless. Satvir went as far as giving me her personal cell number and advised me to call anytime. Its rare when I get amazing customer service. Thank you so much. I can't even thank you enough. If your wanting care and that white glove service then choose this funeral home because they will go that extra mile.

Janis Geary

The service here was excellent, I found them responsive and reasonable. At no point did I feel like my grief was being exploited for profit, which is something I definitely felt with a previous death when I had services from a different company.

Brian King

Every meeting was conducted in a very caring and concerned manner. All details were handled exactly as promised. Compassionate and caring. Helped ease the challenge one face at such a time. My sincere thanks.

Dinan Crienski

I have been Park Place Funeral Home, and working for Mr. Gamdur and Satvir. I relay enjoy working with the family and all the staff members. I have learned such a large amount about the funeral industry. Gamdur is really supportive, and extremely understanding person. My best days are when I am at work at Park Place Funeral Home! I really wanted to say thank you for opportunity to work with you Gamdur, and with your family, and the whole team at Park Place Funeral Home! Big Thank you.

They were extremely sympathetic and very professional when my dad passed away, they deal with you as a family members prices are so good thank you so much for your help.

Pam Dear

Caring, compassionate and professional. It was a very difficult time for me, as I was making arrangements for my father in law. Park place funeral home staff helped me through all the choices, and far surpassed my expectations. The room was beautifully and tastefully prepared. My father in law looked peaceful and natural. All our special requests were willingly accommodated (keepsake locks of hair, inclusion of photos and gifts to accompany my father in law through cremation, clothing arrangements, etc.). I highly recommend this lovely facility. Thanks to all the warm and kind staff members that I had the pleasure of dealing with.

Lori Charlebois

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Maria for her kindness and compassion during the most difficult time of our lives. Her gentle and understanding manner helped make this terrible time easier. Maria went above and beyond, reaching out to us several times even after the arrangements had concluded. Thank you so much, we will be forever grateful! Dwayne and Lori Charlebois

2 days ago Our experience with park place funeral home was extremely good. Anything I asked them to do for us (handout notices, picture and music montage) was above what we had expected. The quality of the video created by Gamdur was amazing. Tom was very professional and answered all of our questions and filled out all the appropriate forms required. The prices for the cremation process, urn, keepsake urns and jewelry were very affordable. All in all, I would highly recommend using park place funeral home when you need to do so.

Earl Horth

Thank you for being so kind and professional.

If you are a student looking for a funeral home to sponsor you, do not inquire at this funeral home. Gamdur, the owner, is only looking for any free labour he can extort out of students. He made a proposal for payment to which I excitedly agreed too, nothing progressed passed that. I began to give up on that prospect however, I was still content with going to the funeral home and performing any tasks that I could record as hours for school (embalming, transfers, services). Unfortunately, after politely declining to clean on the basis that I was not being paid to do so, I was rudely dismissed from being sponsored. I enjoyed working with the other staff members, but the owners are only in this business for the dollar signs. Update: After posting this last night, the owners called and threatened to sue me if I did not take down my review.

Kdsingh Gill

They showed out the service was amazing the officers escorted all our family when i say all i think we had about 50 cars no complaints i give them 5 star and would recommend them to anyone.

Trina Wolanuk

After having a horrific experience at Glenwood Funeral Home, myself and my family were so appreciative to Tom for his kind reasurace and willingness to help. Tom was professional, informative, caring and compassionate. Tom and staff accommodated and respected our every need. We were all very pleased with the service and surprised to find out the price was a fraction of what Glenwood was going to charge. I highly recommend Park Place Funeral Home. The service is top notch and the price is excellent.

Great service

THE WORSE funeral home EVER dealt with. THE WORSE SERVICE NO SYMPATHY ONLY WANTS MONEY. Do not deserve your business, look elsewhere.

JAGDEEP GILL

I used them for my mom's funeral last week and found Satvir Brar very compassionate and professional, walked me through the entire process and helped. They respected the family rituals. Very pleased with the price and abundant service it provided.

Jas Samra

Very poor experience and attitude displayed by the owner of this funeral home. She is extremely impertinent, impatient, and deceiving. No grief given whatsoever. Scheduled an appointment to visit my deceased uncle at the funeral home. The owner insisted we be rapid with the visit as there was another appointment scheduled afterwards. Left approximately 15 minutes later and waited in the parking lot. Funny enough, the owner had walked out seconds after, locked the doors to the funeral home and fled. So unprofessional and embarrassing. Please take your money elsewhere; especially where you will be respected and treated fairly during a difficult time as such. Sherwood Park Place Funeral Home does not deserve your business. I am sharing my experience to prevent this from happening to you and your close ones. Thank you.

Manpreet Khangura

Very sympathatic,compassionate and caring.

Karanbir Singh Ralph

From beginning to finish they showed the utmost professionalism and curiosity making sure that everything was taken care of even without us asking. I can’t express the gratitude from the entire family. Thank you for taking care.

Im assuming most of the positive reviews were posted before this funeral home has been under new management. When my mother passed in January/21, she was cremated at this funeral home. I then went on their website, posted an obituary and called them to be sure they had received it. I was told the obituary was not received because this function on their website had not been working for some time. NO MENTION of this during my initial call to them to arrange cremation.I was then given directions to successfully post the obituary via a different email address. When I viewed the obituary, I noticed my mom's last name was misspelled. The funeral home website says they are open 24/7. It was early Sunday evening. I was understandably distressed to see this error. I called the funeral home and was asked if I could wait till the next day for correction(it is owned by a couple-I was speaking to the wife). I declined and asked it be done ASAP. I was not happy they would want to wait since their staff is able to make necessary corrections and my mother deserved to have her name spelled correctly after her death. So, I waited about an hour and viewed the obituary again. The name correction had been made, but now her birthdate was incorrect in the section indicating birthdate and death date. I called the funeral home again right away to make the correction, and was told rudely (by the same person I spoke with earlier)it was Sunday and didnt I know it was her day off and I should respect she needs time off. I reminded her the funeral website says they are open 24/7. She said " that is only for emergencies". Doesnt say that on the website. Just says open 24/7 with a phone number posted.. She then began arguing with me about how important her time off is- NO APOLOGY OR COMPASSION for the errors and definitely lacking customer communication skills especially at such an emotional time for the family. She did not want to make the correction till the next day. At no time did she show any respect for the distress these errors would cause for those viewing the obituary and bore no responsibility. I was in disbelief with how she spoke to me. I would not recommend this funeral home. Maybe if they do things correctly you will not have to go through what I did. But if they don't, these owners have no idea how to talk to customers and just wan't to argue. Horrible experience. I am adding this after receiving a reply from the owner( see their reply below). The owner did not address my concern in the reply. This has nothing to do with computer hacking. She was completely capable of making corrections to my mothers obituary but didnt want to be bothered because as she said" I should have respect for her day off" even though their website says they are open 24/7. She never apologized for the obituary errors and had no understanding why it wasnt ok with me to wait till the next day to make the corrections. NO COMPASSION OR COMMUNICATION SKILLS WHATSOEVER. Shame on you. Dont try to blow this off by NOW saying your computer was hacked so changes would have to wait. You had posted the obituary a few hours before I called for the first correction, which you reluctantly immediately did. But then became angry when I called about the second correction needing to be done. All the correct information for the obituary had been sent to you. You should have checked for correctness before posting it, and at the least, dont give the customer a difficult time with your bad attitude about needing a day off when you are called to make corrections. You avoided the issue in your reply. I would never recommend your funeral home. I have been told the former owners were wonderful.
