Today, we recognize the National Day of Mourning.

We pause to reflect on the importance of safety, compassion, and care for one another, both in the workplace and beyond. Every life is valuable, and every loss leaves a lasting impact on families, friends, and communities.

At James Reid Funeral Home, we stand in remembrance with those affected and hold space for reflection and healing.

Should I prepay my funeral?

Prepaying is a personal choice. Prepaid funeral funds go into an account in your name and are held until the time of death. Interest accumulates tax free in your funeral account. This interest goes towards your funeral whenever you die. Regardless of price increases to your arrangements at the time, you will not pay more. If the price increases are greater than the accumulated interest, we cover the difference. If the price increases are less, we return the difference to your estate. The benefits are that you take care of your own funeral, if that's something you are in a position to do. We also offer time payment options from over several months to over ten years, instead of paying all at once.
