“Ash and the team were unbelievably kind, gracious, patient, professional and welcoming to the different wants and needs from our family. My grandmother was treated with the utmost dignity and care, and the vigil, service, and burial all went off without a hitch. Thanks to Last Hurrah, we were able to mourn, celebrate, laugh, and love throughout this trying time without added stressors. If your loved one has passed on, please contact Last Hurrah. You'll be in safe hands.”
Ulysses ReidDecember 2025“Very grateful to The Last Hurrah and can't recommend them highly enough. Kimba and the team provided gentle, compassionate guidance and support when my father died. They really followed our lead but also anticipated our needs. Ophelia was open-minded and creative in helping us think through how to honour Dad's very specific wishes for his ashes. Thank you so much.”
