Do You Know the Difference?

Although we’ll never correct you if you mix them up, there’s an important difference between a hearse and Hearst.

A hearse—traditionally known as a funeral coach—is a vehicle used to transport your loved one from the place of death to the cemetery, crematorium, church, or celebration of life.

Hearst, on the other hand, is a town in Ontario. While it’s a fun coincidence that the two sound the same, they’re definitely not interchangeable!

Meet Maddy!

Maddy grew up in the beautiful communities of Bobcaygeon and Peterborough, Ontario. She graduated from Crestwood Secondary School, where a co-op placement at Ashburnham Funeral Home first sparked her passion for the funeral service profession.

She is currently pursuing her Funeral Service Education at Humber College and recently began her internship with Mackey Funeral Home. Through this hands-on experience, Maddy is gaining valuable knowledge and building meaningful connections as she works toward her goal of becoming a licensed funeral director by 2026.

Compassionate and dedicated, Maddy is already excelling in her role—meeting with families, supporting them through the planning process, and embracing every opportunity to learn and grow.

We are excited to welcome Maddy to our team and look forward to supporting her as she continues her journey toward becoming a Class 1 Licensed Funeral Director.

Do you know the difference?

Although we’ll never correct you if you mix them up, there is an important difference between an urn and a vase.

An urn is a closed vessel specifically designed to hold human cremated remains. It is sealed from the environment to ensure the ashes are stored safely and securely.

A vase, on the other hand, is an open-topped decorative container, often used to hold flowers or other items.

That said, we love the idea of personalization and welcome families to bring in meaningful receptacles for memorialization. We simply want to ensure that cremated remains are stored properly and treated with the utmost care.
