Our dad passed away during the holidays and the people at Sands helped us through the whole arrangement regardless of the day and how terrible the roads were with the snow and ice. We dealt mainly with Kirsten, she was very compassionate and helpful.

My Mother died suddenly while in Portland Maine. In our time of grief, we had a hard time figuring out what to do next. Luckily we called Brad at Sands Funeral Chapel and he went way beyond to help us cope at a very hard time. I am so grateful to you all for making a very hard time a little bit easier!

Julie and the staff at Sands Funeral Chapel Colwood were amazing to work with in helping plan our sons funeral last summer. Planning an unexpected service during Covid made for an extra hard time. They all made this emotional time a lot easier with their kind and caring nature. Everyone showed so much empathy to every single member of our family and friends who could attend. Their attention to detail for the service as well as following the Covid protocols was appreciated. We will forever be grateful for their help in our time of sorrow. Thank you Julie and team.

Julie, Kirstin, Lindsey and Cindy did such an amazing Job taking care of my aunt. Time has passed and I've just been thinking about the day I met them and I remember my experience being as polite, gentle and professional as they could be for a sad situation. Where my aaunt is laying, it is so beautiful and I know she is resting easy in a place that will take good care of her.
