Funeral Home in Windsor

For thousands of years, people have been holding funeral services to formally say goodbye. A funeral fills several purposes. It is a tribute to honour a special life - an opportunity to celebrate the experiences, accomplishments, hobbies, heritage and history of a unique and irreplaceable personality. For many, a meaningful service is an important part of the healing process.  It also helps console the immediate family, the people who often feel the loss most deeply. A funeral service 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.  

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 Marcotte  Funeral Home seats 200 family members and friends. 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. 

Here are some things that can help make sure the service is personalized:

• Special interests, hobbies and characteristics you want to honour
• Reminiscences to share
• Close friends and relatives to invite
• A spiritual leader to conduct the service
• Those who may want to share a memory at the service
• Favourite music to play at the ceremony and/or visitation
• Favourite authors to read at the ceremony

After the service, it can be comforting to host a reception where family and friends join together over a meal.  We offer a large reception room with full kitchen and catering services, as a private place to gather and remember. 

Online Tributes

We proudly offer, free of charge, our exclusive memorial site Sharing Memories.  This is a unique and long lasting way to pay tribute to your loved one with videos, pictures, quotes and more.  These online profiles stay current, and are easily accessible to those who may not be able to attend the service, or who want to take a moment to reminisce after the fact.  Helping You Cope with Grief

AfterCare is an important free service offered by Marcotte Funeral Home & Cemetery to assist you with practical guidance, literature and emotional support anytime it’s needed. If you are responsible for finalizing the estate, you may be surprised by the number of details requiring your attention. Our AfterCare professionals can help you in your duties.

Planning Ahead
