Up until recently I have only attended funeral services there and all have been wonderful experiences. Just recently my mother passed away and Stacey our funeral director was amazing. So sincere and very patient with my brother and I who lost our mother suddenly at the early age of 58. Fortunately for my brother and I, our mother had already made a lot of the arrangements herself and Stacey did not try to up sell or change any of what mom had already planned. They even went above and beyond for me and my family when the hospital didn't take my mother to Toronto for an autopsy, Marion from Nisbetts picked up my mother and drove her to Toronto herself and then brought her back. Nola, who performed the service was absolutely wonderful. Even with the very little info my brother and I could give her, she made a beautiful ceremony After the funeral was over and done, Chris brought us back into the funeral home to help us with after care paperwork. They even went through a checklist with me to make sure i know of everything else I needed to get done. I cannot thank Stacey, Marion or Chris enough for making the worst time of my life that much easier. Sincerely, Robert Downer

My husband, mother in law and myself just preplanned our end of life services. After my father in law passed, we knew it was something we wanted to do so our family didn't have to go through anything once we pass. Chris was phenomenal with us!! He was patient, kind, funny and honest. He answered all our questions and was so knowledgeable about everything. Helping us to preplan and take the pressure and and stress off our loved ones is a huge relief. We also feel good to know we are saving huge by paying now. I wouldn't hesitate reccommending Nesbitts and arbour memorial to anyone.

I felt from the moment I called Nisbett's that I was in good hands. My sister had passed away and there was a lot I didn't know how to do. I especially appreciate Chris Fillppeos, who made it stress-free at such an important time and covered things I would never have thought of (paperwork wise). All of the staff are very professional, caring, and helpful (even after it was over). I would highly recommend this business as they truly care about the family members of the deceased. Thank you!

I've used the services of Nisbett Funeral Home & Chapel for the funerals of both my parents, and my wife and I plan to use their services to make our own funeral arrangements. The kindness, caring, and compassion shown to us by Allen, Chris, and the rest of the staff made things much easier during our time of grief. Arrangements we carried out exactly as requested. Nisbett is at the top of my list when recommending funeral services for loved ones.

December 2021 ~ Our loved one was a kind person. Thoughtful. Someone who always tried her very best to make life easier, to make life better for others. She was organized and planned ahead. She selected Arbor Memorial and then Nisbett Funeral Home to pre-arrange her funeral choices and details. In effect, they helped her to make her death easier for those of us who are now missing her so very much after her passing. Chris Filippeos at Nisbett is helping us navigate since her passing, assisting us during very challenging times for everyone, from the date of death through to after-care items. Based on the caring and thorough service given to our loved one's pre-arrangements and Chris's help, I too have made my own pre-arrangements. I am grateful to have been able to have frank conversations about death, about funeral choices, and to make those plans, now, in the living years. Thank you Chris.

I have used the services of Nesbitt Funeral Home for both my parent's cremation arrangements. Chris's service, kindness and compassion was above and beyond. He certainly made this difficult time more bearable. Thank you Chris! Staff take the time to educate you through the process and ensure that they do anything they can to make it easier during this emotional period. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Nisbett was great with my Grandmother’s funeral. We had to move her from Windsor to Peterborough and they arranged this and also arranged the internment in North York the day after the funeral, thinking of little details we hadn’t (like a small procession through the cemetery and ensuring everyone was there and ready). She looked exactly like my grandma and it was very well done. The staff was friendly and courteous, matching the tone of each person they spoke with, they were able to amend things on the fly for us if needed (wanting an extra private minute with her after the funeral, removing her jewelry discreetly, allowing us time during the burial). I would highly recommend them. The only thing I would be careful of, is that if you pre-pay or your loved one does, make sure to keep an itemized list of inclusions. We got a hefty bill and onus was on us to prove what was paid for, luckily my grandmother kept record of everything so this was easy but we questioned how many people this happens to who may just pay it not knowing. Overall, an extremely well done job for a somber occasion.

Absolutely amazing service! Allen was so great to deal with and made a very difficult time much easier and took away so much stress from myself and family. Thank you for being so kind.

This review is a long time coming as my father passed away almost 2 months ago now. One word to describe my experience would be exemplary! All the staff we met with (Alan, Chris and Stacey to name a few) and all the others that we didn't deal with on a name to name basis we're not only polite and empathetic but went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. I've never had to go through this process before and I like to think of myself as a careful consumer so when I went through the decision making process I thought that these guys would use every sales tactic in the book to try and get me to spend more money while in a vulnerable state. It truly was the opposite. At times during that first meeting, Alan had me and my family laughing. How does someone do that? After everything we offered to buy the staff a meal as a thank you and Chris refused saying your gratitude is enough and that's not why they do what they do. I even purchased an urn from elsewhere that was more fitting to my dad's wishes and they were having difficulty opening it due to the way it was built. At this point they offered me another solution that was above and beyond what I could have expected (at no extra cost to me) and made the process so much easier. They went out of their way to sure my dad had a beautiful resting place and that his wishes were honoured. I've seen some of the reviews that were on Google and frankly it does add up to the same experience that I had. The company literally went out of their way to help us out even making sure that we escorted my dad to the crematorium and allowing me to take pictures through most of the process. While at the same time ensuring that they satisfied their company's policies and privacy for their other customers. My dogs are also a massive part of our family and the ensured that they could be involved throughout the process because it was important to the rest of my family and it would have been important to my dad. Thank you Nisbett's for turning one of the worst days of my life into a bearable one and streamlining the process so seamlessly that it was so easy to follow and I could manage it in my distraught state. Truly, Dee

Once I met Christopher I knew that my son was going to be taken care of with compassion, kindness and respect. I sincerely thank you Chris for being so wonderful to Jason and I. Also meeting with Kathryn to take my son into their care to the emotional times of choosing momentum’s I also thank you from my heart for your compassion, care and respect for my son Jason and myself. I would tell anyone to pre-plan with Nesbitt Funeral Home because it’s not just a job to them, they truly do care about your loved one!

After having attended the funeral service for a friend's mother here, I knew that Nisbett had the level of professionalism I wanted for my own parents. Recently, my parents and I went through the pre-planning process with Chris Filippeos as our advisor. He definitely went above the call of duty from beginning to end!! Chris was incredibly knowledgeable, patient and supportive throughout the entire process. I feel like my family are in very good hands. We are most confident that Nisbett is the right funeral home!!
