"The family of Robert Reid wishes to extend our gratitude to Wes Playter and the staff of Roadhouse and Rose Funeral Home for their understanding and guidance through this difficult time."

Thank you - Marion Jean Doan

“Having the service of this institution where they treat their clients as their own family was incredible.  The funeral Home demonstrated a lot of consideration, great communication and professionalism.   I was able to make all the transactions on-line, as I was not in Canada (working in Saudi Arabia) at the time of arrangements, but nevertheless, things ran smoothly.  I also loved the live online streaming of my mom’s viewing day.  My family in the Philippines was able to see the viewing for my mom live. Thank you for having an affordable, yet memorable service for my mother. Keep it up!”  - B.J.N
