Funeral Home in Burlington

There are many functions that a funeral fulfills: it honours a unique life; it gives friends and family a chance to say goodbye, and it provides a place where the healing process can begin. For thousands of years, the funeral has played an important role in providing consolation during a time of loss and mourning.

Say More Than Just Goodbye

Choosing how to remember your loved one is a unique process, and our planning professionals can help you create a one-of-a-kind funeral service.  Whether you choose a traditional style, or want to honour them in a more creative and contemporary way, we can help.  

Traditionally, there is a visitation period before the service for friends and family to express their love, support, and concern.  We offer access to quiet visitation rooms that provide a peaceful atmosphere for your visitation period.

As you personalize the funeral, some things to consider include:
