Funeral Home in Toronto

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. There are many options when it comes to a funeral service, and it can be part of your final arrangements whether burial or cremation is chosen.

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. 

Planning a Service and Reception

Lynett Funeral Home feature a  beautifully appointed chapel that seats over 150. But you don’t have to plan a conventional, clergy-led service. Today, the opportunity to honour your loved one reaches far beyond the classic readings and a eulogy.  Whether it’s showcasing dad’s prized motorcycle collection or serving cookies baked from grandmother’s famous recipe, discuss your ideas with us.  The possibilities are endless.

Here are some things to think about which will help tailor the funeral to the person being celebrated:

• Specific interests or qualities about the deceased that you feel are important to remember
• Anecdotes and stories
• People you want to be sure to include
• Clergy or appropriate speaker to lead the service
• People who may also want to speak at the service
• Songs and music to be played at the service and other events (visitation, reception)
• Poems, passages and other readings for the service

After the service, a reception allows family and friends to gather and reminisce over a meal or refreshments. With a lounge, reception rooms and catering services, we can provide the perfect setting.

Planning Ahead

You can spare your family from the stress – and financial burden – by pre-planning your own funeral. Planning in advance lets you tell your final story in your own unique way. It feels good to know it’s all taken care of.
