Laurence helped on two separate, difficult occasions, with both my Mom and my Aunt.
He was caring, empathetic and was able to capture the essence of both of them.
I was also grateful that he was organized so I did not have to worry about details. I recommend Laurence highly.

Over the last 40 years I have had the honour of having Rev. Laurence Van Kleek as funeral officiator at seven services for my family.
I have always appreciated his words of kindness delivered with love and wisdom.
Death is never easy; he made it easier to deal with.

We have known Laurie for a very long time. His compassion and caring for people, especially those who
have lost loved ones, is huge, full of grace, deep and kind. When our parents passed away, he listened to
our needs with understanding, our sorrow, and our love for our parents with great compassion, and
lovingly guided us through the celebration of life. We highly recommend Laurie’s services.

We just can't say enough about Laurie Van Kleek! He was an amazing, unexpected help to us in the sudden death of my sister. We are from another province and when we first contacted him about her death, he offered immediate assistance in any way possible. My sister knew him and his wife Darlene, often talked highly of them. He texted, then called me a couple times the first few days offering his services. When we arrived, he was so supportive to our family.
Laurie was compassionate, caring, gentle, was so supportive, offered regularly in any way to help with the funeral …. We so appreciated that and his emotional support as it was just my husband, me and another sister taking care of things. At the funeral gathering Laurie shared a eulogy about my sister and added a few other things. It was written so well and spoken very clearly, lovingly, gently and was beautiful. He clearly is experienced in writing and speaking. He was a bright light sent to us from God at such a painful and stressful time in our lives. We all three would highly recommend Laurie as a wonderful support to you and your family during the loss of your loved one. Thank you, Laurie!
