I mostly recommend the speed and efficiency with which they deal with their clients. Tracy arranged the initial appointment right away. Having Tina process the necessary closing of personal accounts for my father is a fairly new service at Oliver’s and is brilliant. Finally Hannah working quickly on his obit to meet The Signal deadline was greatly appreciated. They all made a difficult time much much easier.

When a family member passed away, they went out of their way to accommodate us. Their staff were and are compassionate and caring. They also assisted in the paperwork necessary to move forward in a very professional manner. Thank you for your yearly acknowledgement of our loved ones who’ve gone on.

I cannot even begin to explain how fond of Oliver's my family and I are. When my grandmother passed at 100 in 2017 after my mother had exclusively cared for her for 2 years, Chris at Oliver's was able to comfort my mom when the rest of us couldn't find the right words. She mentioned his kindness again and again. So there was no question of which funeral home we would choose when my mother passed from cancer this year. Every person we met on staff was exceptional, but we have to recognize Chris and Tina (in aftercare) for going above and beyond. This work is evidently more than just business

I cannot stress enough how awful Oliver's service is. I do NOT recommend going here for arrangement's for your loved one's. I have dealt with rude employees, horrible management of fellow loved ones and just plain laziness and further stress when dealing with funeral arrangements. I could go on and on about the awful service from here. Please go to another funeral establishment as I do not recommend Oliver's in Grande prairie.
