The most thoughtful and efficient people that I have
ever met. They made this very difficult and unexpected
family loss a little easier. They took care of everything
we needed and more. I would recommend their
services to anyone.

They really took a ton of stress off of our family when
we needed it the most. They were prompt, professional
and sensitive. I felt that mom's final moments were
handled with dignity and genuine care .

It was my humbled and blessed opportunity this
past weekend to sing at a funeral directed by
Life Transitions of Chatham. James did an amazing job
making a grieving family feel comforted and honoring
the life of an amazing woman. I would highly
recommend their services.

So kind, thoughtful and understanding.
You listened and cared about what we wanted
for my Mom. I can’t thank you enough.

As a funeral professional myself (Lincoln, Nebraska)
I applaud James & Leanne MacNeil and Life Transitions
for bucking the status quo to transform the funeral
profession for the better. Thank you for your courage,
vision and compassion. You are truly an inspiration to
this profession and a blessing to the
families you serve. Kudos!

Our experience with you both and Life Transitions
could not have been more positive. It was a difficult
time for both Pam and I and to be treated with
understanding, patience and such respect helped
so much to ease the pain and anxiety and grief hat
especially I was feeling. Everything was handled in
such a professional manner and all my questions
were answered promptly and in a way I completely
understood. From the pickup of Charlie's body at
Hospice and delivery to the Shulich School of Medicine
in London in January, 2019 to the transfer of his ashes
to the beautiful Urn in May every encounter I had,
with especially you James, was something I will always
be grateful for. I highly recommend you to my family
and friends and to anyone who wishes a comforting
experience at a very difficult time.

Words can never express our true gratitude to you both for all your
support, guidance, understanding and empathy during the days
following Dad's (Joe Johnson) passing. From the moment you arrived
at our home, through the planning and Celebration of Life for Dad as
well as the days following you were professional, understanding
and always a phone call or email away. You did not miss the smallest
of details and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for you. Even
taking the time to bring our memory necklaces the day of Dad's
Celebration, this small gesture meant the world to us and added a
very special memory that day. Our family truly feels blessed to have
had you on this journey with us. You walked us through a very difficult
time of sorrow and grief while ensuring we took time to reflect and
remember Dad and the happy times. We as a family had great comfort
knowing Dad was in the hands of people who are very respectful
and genuinely care. The kindness, expressions of sympathy,
ongoing support and professionalism during this time was greatly
appreciated. We will most defiantly be recommending your services
to others. Life Transitions truly assists families through the transition
of losing a loved one.

If ever there is a time when you need expert guidance and support, it's
following the death of a beloved family member. We may imagine what a
funeral would entail, but I would venture to say that the majority of us do
not plan the concrete details in advance of the inevitable. My family was
unprepared for the process when my father recently passed away. My
father, being sick for several months prior to his death had expressed a
couple of his interests in regards to his funeral, but it in no way prepared us
for the deluge of detail that confronted us demanding attention and decision-
making in a very short time period. Thanks to James at Life Transitions, we
were able to navigate the process and consequently reduce the overall stress
of dealing with my father's death. James provided us with the information
we needed to base our decisions on, answered all of our questions...
sometimes late at night and in the very early morning... and he ultimately
allowed us the freedom and ability to plan and carry out the type of funeral
we think my father would have wanted. At no time was there any pressure
to purchase specific items and services, nor were we ever remotely
persuaded to 'upgrade' to a different item or service once we made our
decision. All items and services were clearly described including cost.
James delivered an exceptional package at an extremely reasonable cost
and with a care and thoughtfulness that helped alleviate the stress my family
was experiencing. In addition, provided in the package we purchased was
a checklist itemizing the many tasks to be completed following the funeral
and I continue to use it as we finalize details. My family and I can't recommend
James and Life Transitions enough.

James, you demonstrated so much compassion and
professionalism as we grieved the death of our dear
dad. You were so understanding of our wishes and
worked through the entire process with patience
and understanding. Your knowledge and direction as
we moved through the process, was outstanding..
thank you so very much. You will not soon be forgotten.

My mother was my rock. I was her rock. The hardest thing I have ever
had to do was sit and watch her slowly fade away while fighting for
every breath she took. Unfortunately, at this time, other things come
up that you don't want to think about, like end of life care; funerals.
Our family is blessed in many ways but money is not one of them!
Mom was a single mother and worked hard her whole life to keep her
family healthy and happy, she did a great job. I was so worried about
being able to afford to take care of her after she was gone. I started
doing research and was, quite frankly, shocked about the price of
things. The last thing anyone wants at a time like this is to worry
about money but it's a fact of life that will not go away. Someone
told me about Life Transitions and how their cost is much more
reasonable. I called James and right away I could feel the concern
in his voice. When he met with me I couldn't believe the difference
in costs! But, more importantly, was the fact that James told me not
to worry, he told me to go, be with my mom and not think about the
cost or funeral or money. He said it would all work out. It was like a
big burden was lifted off my shoulders. My mom took care of me, I
took care of her and Life Transitions took care for both of us and for
that I am very grateful.
