For bereaved individuals and families, the loss of a loved one may combine measures of shock, grief, and even trauma, depending upon the circumstances of the death. Making funeral arrangements quickly becomes a necessary, if unwelcome, event that cannot be postponed; yet will only be productive when pacing the progress of families as they move through the various steps of the consultation process. The funeral home industry is, after all, a business; yet there are unique circumstances that preclude dealing with their clients in an impersonal “businesslike” manner. What is wanted is a respectful, compassionate understanding of the emotional impact that such a loss has had – without descending into transparently facile displays of superficial sympathy. Which is where Duff Robison and Tabitha Pound come in; both of whom are employed at Glenwood Funeral Home and Cemetery, (where Duff is the Managing Director with decades of experience in the industry). The consultation process that takes place with bereaved families requires that a series of choices and decisions need to be made. Glenwood has simplified this by providing families with easily-read outlines of the necessary steps to be discussed. The skills and experience of these professionals is apparent in knowing how to move through this “list” while recognizing the pacing that each family requires in order to remain comfortable. In fact, opportunities to take time think over choices -- before making final decisions -- are welcomed. In our own family’s contacts with Tabitha and Duff, we were deeply impressed by, and grateful for, the compassion they demonstrated toward us in setting our funeral arrangements. We came away from our meetings with them feeling more settled and confident that the right choices were being made -- and this, by itself -- helped to moderate the sorrow we have felt losing our loved one.

Hands down the nicest kept cemetery in all Alberta The staff is not only extremely qualified but so nice. I couldn't have asked for a better crew to handle my loved ones. And I look forward to doing business with them again. Also shout out to the property for being genuine nice people. I love talking to those guys.
Glenwood Funeral Home & Cemetery staff handled my family member's passing in a very professional and dignified way. I love the beautiful and peaceful grounds of the cemetery and highly recommend this company.
The funeral service for my mother could not have gone smoother. Edith in particular was incredibly attentive, understanding and worked very hard to make sure everything went as it should. Glenwood took all of the necessary precautions when it came to Co-vid 19 protocol and was very accommodating. I know that my mother's final resting place is in good hands.
Sarah Arnold and the rest of the team at Glenwood went sooo far above and beyond for us after the loss of my father in law. Everything was incredibly organized and they were so full of empathy and kindness during our difficult time. They made us feel comfortable and eased so much stress with the process. I wish Google offered more stars, cannot say enough good things about this funeral home. Sarah is personally responsible for giving me a lot of peace and contentment during our loss and I can't thank her beautiful spirit enough.
