Sometimes the conversations we avoid are the ones that matter most.

Join us for Death Over Dessert, a relaxed, Death Café–style evening where we gather over tea and treats to talk openly about life, mortality, and the things that matter most — in a safe, welcoming, and pressure-free space.

No presentations. No agenda. Just thoughtful conversation and connection.

🗓 Thursday, February 19 | 7–9 PM
Free to attend | All are welcome

For over 90 years, the MacIntyre family has been a cornerstone of care, compassion, and commitment in Guelph. Today, we are proud to celebrate a family whose legacy is woven into the very fabric of our community.

Please join us in recognizing the MacIntyre Family — and congratulating Michael MacIntyre Jr. and Peter MacIntyre, who grew up in the family business and have continued its tradition of excellence. This year, they are the recipients of our Annual Service Excellence Awards, honoring their unwavering dedication to serving families with dignity, respect, and heartfelt compassion during life’s most difficult moments.

Making this recognition even more meaningful, Michael MacIntyre Sr. had the honour of presenting his sons with this prestigious award — a powerful reminder that their commitment to service is not just a profession, but a legacy.

For three generations and over nine decades, the MacIntyre family has shown what it truly means to care for a community. Thank you, Mike and Pete, for carrying forward this remarkable tradition and for your continued contributions to Guelph. Your dedication does not go unnoticed, and our community is stronger because of it.

🕊️ Why Pre-Planning Your Funeral Is One of the Greatest Gifts You Can Give 🕊️

Talking about funeral planning isn’t easy—but it’s incredibly important.

Pre-planning your funeral isn’t about focusing on the end. It’s about protecting the people you love 💛
It means your family won’t have to make emotional decisions during one of the hardest moments of their lives.

✨ It eases stress
✨ It ensures your wishes are honoured
✨ It brings peace of mind to you and your loved ones

When we plan ahead, we give our families space to grieve, to come together, and to support one another—rather than worrying about details and finances.

As a community, having these conversations helps normalize planning, reduces fear, and reminds us that love looks like preparation. 🤍

If you’ve ever said, “I don’t want my family to have to deal with that,” — this is how you make that promise real.

💬 Start the conversation today.
🏡 Plan with care, clarity, and compassion.

Because taking care of your family doesn’t stop—it lasts forever.

Have any questions or want to start to process, please email kaitlin.praznik@dignitymemorial.com
