Funeral Services in Hamilton

For over a millennia, funeral services have let friends and family say goodbye to a loved one.  A funeral commemorates a one of a kind, irreplaceable person, and helps console those who have felt the loss most deeply.

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. 

A visitation often precedes the service. Our quiet visitation rooms allow family and friends to pay their final respects in peaceful and serene surroundings.

Planning a Service and Reception

The stunning chapel at L.G. Wallace Funeral Home seats 110. But don’t feel you are required to have a traditional, clergy-led function.  There are endless ways to pay homage to your loved one in a style that reflects their passions.  We can offer services that cater to the traveller, the reader, the sports fan, the crafter, the volunteer, and so many more.  Send guests home with mementos that remind them of their loved one, or serve a personalized menu of favourite recipes and foods. 

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

After the service, it can be comforting to host a reception where family and friends join together over a meal.  Our wheelchair accessible facility has a large reception room with full kitchen, as a private place to gather and remember. 

Online Tributes

Available free of charge, our exclusive online memorial site, Sharing Memories, features photos, videos a guestbook and more. It gives family and friends a place to remember and pay tribute, no matter where they live.

Helping You Cope With Grief

Moving forward after a loss can be difficult.  Our free AfterCare service is here for you with guidance, literature, and support when it’s needed. We can also help with executor duties, such as finalizing the details of the estate.

Planning Ahead
