As we prepare to step into this next chapter and eventually return to the Lakeland building, my heart is full.

When I first came to Vermilion in 2013 to manage Lakeland Funeral Home, I didn’t just find a profession, I found mentors, teammates, and family. Bill Poliakiwski and the late John Lawrence were my backbone in those early years. They welcomed me, connected me to the community, stood beside me through challenges, and gave their time, wisdom, and steady support without hesitation.

They believed in me. They believed in serving families well. And they helped shape the leader I have become.

John is no longer with us, but I carry his encouragement with me every day. Bill continues to offer his steady support, and I know without a doubt they are both proud of what we have built.

But this journey has never been mine alone.

To my incredible team: you are the heart of Reflections. You show up on the hardest days with compassion, professionalism, and grace. You support families with tenderness and care, and you support one another like family. I would not be who I am without your dedication, your loyalty, and your belief in what we do. This next chapter belongs to all of us.

As we grow, we are also excited to welcome new members to our team. Each person who joins us strengthens our ability to serve families. We look forward to integrating our new staff additions into the Reflections family and continuing to build a team rooted in care, integrity, and community.

To my husband, Josh: you made this dream possible. You built Reflections with your own hands. You have supported the long hours, the late-night calls, the unpredictable schedule, and the emotional weight that comes with this work. You step in at home without hesitation. You love me through the hard seasons and celebrate the victories. I could not have done this without you.

And to my family: thank you for your constant encouragement, your prayers, your belief in me, and your willingness to walk this journey alongside us. Your love has been my foundation.

To the community that has trusted us: your support, referrals, and faith in our leadership have made this possible.

We have grown together. We have weathered challenges together. And we move forward together with gratitude, humility, and deep commitment to the families we serve.

Reflections and Creech’s Lakeland Announce Planned Vermilion Transition
Owners of Reflections Funeral & Cremation Services, Candice and Josh Anderson, along with Alva and Harry Creech of Creech’s Lakeland Funeral Home (Vermilion), would like to share
that we have entered into an agreement for a planned transition of Creech’s Lakeland Funeral Home’s Vermilion location, with an anticipated closing date of Monday, March 2, 2026.
This transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of conditions and has not yet closed. Until closing occurs, ownership and operational control remain with Alva and Harry Creech.
For many years, Alva and Harry have served Vermilion and the surrounding communities with steady care, deep professionalism, and genuine compassion. Their work has mattered to
countless families, and it is a true honour for Reflections to be trusted with carrying that legacy forward.
As Alva and Harry move toward retirement, we want to sincerely thank them. Not only for what they’ve built, but for the care they have shown families for decades, and for the respectful way
they have approached this transition.
We also want to reassure families that all pre-arranged (pre-need) funeral contracts remain valid and secure. Following closing, these contracts will be transferred to Reflections Funeral &
Cremation Services. Each existing pre-need contract remains valid and binding, and all funds and contractual obligations are secure and unaffected by the change in ownership. No action is required from families at this time. A small number of individuals may receive a separate letter
after closing as part of the standard transfer process. If this applies to you, you will be contacted directly.
We also understand how important records and history are to families. Following closing, Reflections will receive and protect the historical service records, files, obituary archives, and electronic records associated with Creech’s Lakeland Funeral Home (Vermilion) and related service areas. The obituary history currently available through the Creech’s Lakeland website will also be transitioned as part of the process. As these records and systems are transferred securely, we appreciate the community’s patience while this process is completed. We will share updates as needed.
During the transition period, all services will continue to be provided from Reflections’ current Vermilion location at 4902B – 50 Avenue, Vermilion.
We look forward to transitioning services into the Creech’s Lakeland facility at 4824 – 51 Avenue, Vermilion under the Reflections name in time. A move date will be announced once preparations are complete.
We also recognize how important familiar staff can be to families. Following closing, Reflections intends to work with Creech’s Lakeland employees who may be interested in continuing with us.
Following closing, Alva and Harry Creech will continue operating their crematorium on a wholesale-only basis, providing services to licensed funeral homes. Reflections is grateful to continue working with them in this capacity as part of our commitment to consistent,
professional care.
Thank you, Vermilion and area, for your trust and support. We are grateful to Alva and Harry Creech for their years of service, and we remain committed to supporting families with care, clarity, and respect, every step of the way.
