Reviews of Dunphy's Funeral Home (Mortuary)

Thomas Barnable

Kind and professional staff , hard working family run business. but their new crematorium is subpar , lower than typical Cana cremation association of North America . recommended operating temperature ( 1000 Fahrenheit ) during mid burn cycle vs (1400 to 1800 Fahrenheit ) , which is inefficient and could potentially cause emissions complaints from neighbours . And longer wait times . Thankfully no reported issues as of yet ! Unlikely but possibly due to a lower btu primary chamber burner , in lower priced retorts . But it’s a small family run business after all . They are doing their best and are good neighbours for the people of holyrood . I’m just pointing the facts I gathered on their website out . Lower temperatures don’t always mean higher emissions though . if the afterburner is well maintained and has a long retention time , and is significantly hotter than the primary chamber . It will be just fine !

First of all, I never thought I would be writing a Google review for a funeral home, but my Dad recently passed away on October 14th, 2021 (suddenly, but peacefully), and I have to take a few moments to share my experience. Funeral Director/Owner, Ron Fitzpatrick was compassionate, kind and extremely professional from start to finish guiding me through the wake and funeral process for my Dad. He handled everything with the sensitivity and ease needed to get things organized. The day I had to come into Dunphy's and sign off on various documents, select an Urn, choose a bulletin and complete all the other miscellaneous items that required my attention, I never once felt rushed, prodded, or like it was "business as usual". He communicated all the logistical items pertaining to Dad's wake, cremation (which by the way does not take place at Dunphy's, they do not own or operate a crematorium on site), and funeral very clearly, and he took the time to explain everything in great detail. Ron definitely took my feelings and emotions seriously and that was very much appreciated and something I'll never forget. When you are dealing with the loss of a loved one and must immediately go into "preparation mode" you sometimes forget things or simply just change your mind on certain things. Whenever I reached out to Ron, no matter what time of day or night it was, he was very responsive and provided the information I needed or made any changes that I requested right away. No hoops to jump through, or multiple calls to make trying to get a hold of him, his response was immediate. I have never been through a process like this before where I was 100% involved, Ron guided me with the upmost respect and professionalism, but most importantly with kindness. I will close this review by saying that if you are looking to have a great experience, you can trust that Ron Fitzpatrick will do the job with dignity and grace with top notch service. "Kindness and Compassion is free, sprinkle it everywhere". Warm Regards, Sonya Doran
