On behalf of our grieving family, Amitha and I would like to offer our sincere thanks, appreciation and gratitude for the beautiful arrangements for our beloved mom Starling Hopman. From the moment we met with Graham and other members of this amazing funeral home and discussed arrangements for our moms funeral, we were made to feel like we were the only people that mattered. The experience was nothing short of relaxed, ease and caring. Every detail was never too minute to change, adjust , add or remove several times. We felt relaxed and the genuine concern along with your professionalism during

Dear Adrienne, Graham and the staff of De Stefano Funeral Home,
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude for the first-class services you provided for the matriarch of our family, Eulalia Nanay Aling Jimenez. From the initial phone call, you were able to accommodate our every hope and wish for Nanays funeral. We came with a list of questions that were answered before we got a chance to ask them. Your staff is amazing, always offering kind words and warm smiles, even from behind their masks. Graham provided the right amount of respectful humour to lighten the mood whenever we had

Graham and Adrian made my experience with laying my father to rest seamless; especially during such a difficult time. They were so accommodating of all request; big or small. The personal touches were above and beyond. Not to mention how compassionate they were. I've dealt with other funeral homes and not received the level of service that I received with DeStefano Funeral Home. Thank you for the support during such difficult time.
