Funeral Home in Windsor

A funeral is a timeless tradition that has given families a chance to say goodbye for thousands of years.  It is a place where a special life can be honoured, their values and accomplishments can be celebrated, and a place where family can begin to heal. 

Say More Than Just Goodbye

For some families, a traditional funeral may provide the most comfort. However, we invite you to be as original as you want.  Our specialists will work creatively and resourcefully to ensure your memorial is custom tailored to your needs. 

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. 

Planning a Service and Reception

If you want a clergy-led service, Janisse Funeral Home offers a beautiful chapel for your service that can seat 500  friends and family.  Don’t feel confined to the traditional service, as there are nearly endless opportunities to honour your loved one in a unique way.  For example, someone who spent a lifetime baking delicious treats can be remembered with a taste of his famous brownies, or for the avid reader, friends and family can take home a copy of her favourite book.  The possibilities are endless, and we are here to discuss your ideas.  

When planning the funeral, this checklist can help you personalize the service:

• Specific pastimes and characteristics you wish to honour
• Special stories and memories to share
• Significant people to invite
• A leader for the ceremony
• People who may want to speak at the ceremony
• A soundtrack for the ceremony and other events, such as the reception
• Quotes or poems to read during the ceremony

Once the service is over, a reception or meal offers a time for family and friends to socialize and remember. Our lovely reception room, with full kitchen and catering facilities, provides the perfect setting for your event.

Online Tributes

Sharing Memories is our exclusive memorial site, available free of charge.  It offers friends and family from around the world the chance to honour their loved one with photos, messages, quotes, and more.  Your loved one’s profile will be accessible always, meaning you can visit and reminisce anytime and anywhere. 

Helping You Cope with Grief
