Reviews & Testimonials

“We are so grateful for the compassion shown during my cousin David’s viewing and memorial. Nelson, Yasmin, Ashley, Sophie, & Tiffany went above and beyond, even allowing his dogs to say goodbye, which meant the world to us. They were kind, patient, and helpful every time we needed anything. Our family is large, and they made sure everyone felt comfortable and welcome. Truly thankful for them.”

“As a local funeral florist, we've delivered to Evergreen Memorial Gardens multiple times and it's always been easy. There's a back room for storing flowers before the service, and the main chapel has so much space that we can set arrangements up beautifully instead of crowding pieces together. The staff we've met during deliveries have been consistently friendly.”

“My experience is only pertaining to the cemetery grounds itself. Tonight I called into EMG to see if dogs were allowed to walk in the cemetery, I spoke to a gal named Dee (who was absolutely lovely btw!) and she said yes of course they are allowed! I was very excited and with this cemetery only being a 12 min drive from me, my doggo and I hopped in the car and headed over that way. There is just something so serene and beautiful about this cemetery. The grounds are immaculate and well kept, there’s garbages everywhere so it’s convenient to put doggy bags where they need to go. (which I would never leave them on the grounds because that’s just down right disrespectful to the living, but also the deceased who are resting there) I did a wonderful stroll through the cemetery, admired the local murder of crows in the trees, and even did my Merlin bird app and there were SOOO many birds! It was very cool. It was a wonderful evening walking through these sacred and stunning grounds. You can tell they really care about the families who walk among this place who visit their loved ones and also those who are no longer with us, who have a peaceful and vibrant place to rest for eternity! Thank you kindly! 💕”

“During my bereavement I was faced with many emotional and logistical hurdles. My family was obviously devastated with the loss we experienced. I needed trust with the funeral home. I needed to know that the grief my family and I were experiencing would be given dignity, kindness and respect through the mourning process. Each step of the way, Scott Bowen showed an exceptional level of honor to my home and carried us through this process. Every interaction my family and I had with Evergreen Memorial reinforced the fact that we could trust them with our most sensitive moments. I am so grateful for Scott Bowen and the team that guided my family through some of the hardest moments of our lives. Scott stayed longer than he was obligated to ensure that everything was seamless and that no need was left unaddressed. I am grateful. Thank you. A bereaved son.”

“I thought I did a review of this place already, but I cant find it. This place is beautiful. I used to live nearby and I always took walks or my jogs through the grounds. They really do an excellent job of maintaining it and the roads are well-paved and wide enough for multiple cars, or a car and a pedestrian. It was neat to see all the new headstones mixed with the older ones. I always found a new one to admire and wonder about what kind of person that person may have been. I miss walking through this place. I do not live in Vancouver anymore, but it always felt like a summer day in there.”

“We had the misfortune of losing a loved one. But the journey would have been much harder had it not been for Evergreen Memorial Gardens. They coordinated with the hospital to receive the body and ensured that we had the opportunity to see our loved one for as long as we desired in the environment that we felt most comfortable in. Our wishes for cremation were carefully considered. The individual helping us maintained a neutral stance but was very empathetic and considerate of our raw emotions. We were provided with many options for urns and jewelry, as well as customization as we desired. Communication that wasn’t done in the memorial home was performed mostly by email. There was some delay and minor miscommunication but ultimately, the care was amazing. The passing of a loved one is inevitable. It’s a horrible experience. But we will definitely return to Evergreen Memorial because we know that our loved ones will be well cared for here.”
