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

Traditional or contemporary, the funeral service can be tailored to your faith, taste and budget. Whether planning for yourself or a loved one, our professionals will help you design a memorial service as unique as the person being honoured. Often, a visitation period proceeds the service. Receiving family and friends through a visitation provides support, and allows others to express their love and concern for you. Our quiet visitation rooms provide a soothing atmosphere for attendees.

Planning a Service and Reception

At Scott Funeral Home – West Toronto Chapel we have a beautiful chapels to host your funeral service that accommodates 110 friends and family. Don’t feel obliged to have a traditional clergy-led service; there are a variety of ways to honour your loved one and the exceptional life they lived.  Bring their unique passions to the forefront – from talented artist to tireless world traveller, we can offer services to pay homage to their life.  

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

• Attributes or passions of the person who died that you want to be sure to honour
• Memories to share
• Important people to include
• Person to lead the ceremony
• Others who might want to speak or share memories
• Music ideas for the visitation and ceremony
• Readings for the ceremony

After the service, a reception allows family and friends to gather and reminisce over a meal or refreshments. With a large reception room with full kitchen and catering services, we can provide the perfect setting.
