When I decided that I was going to make my prearrangements, I chose Carson Funeral Home because they were family owned. That still means something to me. I am glad I did. Dave Carson took the time to listen to my wishes, explain the process and my options. He did this without any pressure, making sure I was comfortable with my decisions. I would highly recommend Carson Funeral Homes.

My husband and I lost 3 elderly parents in the span of 5 years. While the passing of each of our loved ones was slightly different, everyone at Carson’s provided us consistent professionalism and compassion. From the initial phone call to the aftercare meeting, they listened to our needs and wants while at the same time suggesting ideas that we had not even considered. That all being said, their biggest strength is their ability to provide all the above, while at the same time making us feel that we were a part of their family.

We recently entrusted Carson Funeral Homes with the loss of our elderly parents. Funeral Director John Griffiths & Funeral Director Assistant Sue Morris we’re both so professional, caring and accommodating ….walking us effortlessly through the funeral/burial process. They kindly gave us “free rein” to personalize the visitation and service which created an atmosphere tailored to the well-lived lives of each of our parents. Kudos to the entire Carson staff. You were all such a pleasure to deal with at such a difficult time. May your tradition of trust and care continue.

My mother died only days before her 102nd birthday. I entrusted the needed details for her funeral service to Carson Funeral Home in Orillia. My mother wanted a celebration of her life to be an occasion for grief, memories, and joyous love that goes on in her friends and family. I found the services at Carson’s excellent! They worked to make her funeral day that was inclusive of all she had wanted. I can’t thank them enough for their excellent work for my family!
