Proudly family owned, family operated and family minded. DeStefano Funeral Home, owned by Steve and Sandy Horvath, operated by their daughter Adrienne Irvine and an amazing team committed to service excellence, is truly a Canadian family business. Born in Hungary, Steve came to Canada with a group of visitors for the Olympics in 1976.
It was at the end of his ten day stay that he decided to stay and make a life for himself in Canada. As an experienced business man, Steve knew that opening a new business would require hard work and dedication. Embracing long, healthy relationships with the community, the funeral home opens its space and has become a place where neighbours can gather - a place of learning and growth.

Testimonials
Report
This note has taken far too long to be written. Every time I started it, it became either too long or too hard and I had to quit. I do need to tell you all how much your support and guidance meant to my daughter, Kristy; her husband, Bryon and myself. You touched us in a way that was so important, and your caring got us through those first days of horrific pain and confusion.
