Streaming service does NOT work. Very disappointing for so many family members that could not travel or be in person for such an important day. Unable to watch in real time, nor in a rewind attempt. Constant buffering and skipping. All other aspects in person were good Im sure. Just unfortunate for a moment that you cant get back.

Salmon & Sons provided a very worry free experience during a stressful time. Everything was explained thoroughly to help us make the best decisions, we never felt that we were pressured into making hurried decisions or buy something we didn't need.
Nick was very easy to deal with and was able to accommodate our requests with no hesitations as well as provide advice from his experiences.

We are taking this opportunity to recognize and thank Nicolas and Max Salmon. Over the past three years we have had occasion to engage their services for three different funerals. In each instance they went over and above our expectations to help our family through difficult times. Repeatedly they were innovative to help with special requests, were willing to accommodate regardless of the circumstance, and above above all, rendered these services with a high degree of professionalism and empathy. In addition, we felt that we received excellent service for dollars spent.

We are from Edmonton but when my mom passed away she wanted to be buried near her parents in Lethbridge. Everyone at Salmon and Sons made everything so easy and stress free during such a hard time for our family. I cannot thank them enough for their amazing service.
