We have always been committed to providing families with sensitive, professional support

We will do everything we can to help you, providing sensitive and professional support to help you organise a unique service. All our staff are professionally trained to the highest standards and understand the needs and feelings of the bereaved and the importance of spending time helping families to plan a service that truly reflects the life of an individual.

We specialize in dignified, low-cost direct cremation and burial services throughout the National Capital Region, the Ottawa Valley, and Lanark County — backed by the decades of local heritage of the Cole Family of businesses.

Our Promise to You

Care, respect, clarity and reassurance — at every step

Our Promise is to help you arrange or plan a service with care, respect, clarity and reassurance. Our team of professionals are here to listen, advise and guide you through all your options. We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so you'll always have someone to talk to. We're here, we understand how difficult this can be and we promise to help you at every step of the way.

During Your Time of Grief…

We know how difficult and disorientating it can be when someone you love dies — we're here to help. We'll guide you through all the different things you'll need to think about, decide and do: from what to do when someone dies, through the ceremony and on to what happens after the service.

How to Deal with the Grieving Process

While grieving a loss is an inevitable part of life, there are ways to help cope with the pain, come to terms with your grief, and eventually find a way to pick up the pieces and move on with your life. Even the most modest arrangements receive our compassionate touch and meticulous attention to detail.

Compassionate Support, Just a Call Away
