Robert J. Reid Funeral Home
Kingston, Ontario

In 1901, Robert J. Reid established a furniture and funeral business under the same roof at 230 Princess Street.

As the furniture and funeral businesses continued to grow, each needed additional space to serve the residents of Kingston. The Funeral Home was relocated to the corner of Johnson and Barrie Streets, where in 1953 "The Chapel on the Corner" was opened with expanded facilities, including a formal chapel which seats 200 people. Over the years the funeral home continued to grow by expanding parking and improving facilities. The most recent addition is a post funeral reception facility. The funeral home is stIll located at the corner of Johnson and Barrie Streets. For four generations Robert J. Reid & Sons has served the residents of Kingston with quality, caring funeral service.

A funeral procession is more than a line of cars — it’s a journey of love and remembrance. It's important to show respect by slowing down and yielding so the procession can stay together, pulling over or stopping safely to let them pass, and keeping quiet by lowering music and avoiding honking.

A brief pause speaks volumes; your kindness offers comfort to grieving families and honours a life respectfully.

When someone loses a loved one, grand gestures aren't always the most meaningful. It's often the simple, heartfelt ones that bring comfort, like sending a meal when words fail or helping them with errands, housework, or childcare.
