Heart and Stroke Awareness Month

In Canada, February is the national month to recognize and support heart and stroke disease education and research. Heart and Stroke Canada conducts its annual campaign and promotes a variety of events geared to better educating the public about risk factors for heart disease and stroke.

Federal government statistics indicate that 1 in 12 (or 2.4 million) Canadians have diagnosed heart disease which is the second leading cause of death in Canada. Each hour, 12 Canadians die from heart related issues.

The Canadian Virtual Memorial

Honouring close to 120,000 armed forces personnel, the Canadian Virtual War Memorial is an online registry dedicated to remembering the sacrifices of those who lost their lives in both world wars and other conflicts since Canadian confederation.

Each digital record has the name of the deceased, their military service, personal data, the location of their burial plot and digital files including photos, if available. This is a searchable database. Entering a surname, first name and initials will retrieve all registered personnel that match the criteria inputted. Note: RCMP officers who have been killed in the line of duty are also part of this record.

Another feature of this war memorial is that it connects to the Books of Remembrance and the daily honour roll. Each and every day of the year, the book of remembrance is opened that date, containing the inscribed names of all of our fallen who died on that date in history.

Yes You Can!

In recent years, we in the funeral profession are seeing more and more special or unique requests from the families we serve. Often, we will work with families who have some very personal wishes they hope can be included in the service.

Sometimes a service will include releasing doves or butterflies… or maybe a cherished pet will make an appearance at the visitation. There isn’t much we haven’t seen over the years.

So the answer is yes we can. We will do our best to make sure your special request is honoured. It is, after all, about making the service meaningful for you and your family, and what better way than to include a wish which expresses the uniqueness of your beloved.

For additional information about what is possible at a service, please contact us.

In Loving Memory

Our heartfelt remembrance for a person who has died is the feelings we have for someone we’ve lost and who we were close to. ‘In Loving Memory’ is a contemporary phrase which captures this sentiment for a community at large.

Who has been affected? Family, close friends, colleagues at work, fellow members of clubs, associations or sporting teams, neighbours, and even those who provided personal services to the deceased. The impact of a life on others can be felt by many.

Individuals will grieve personally, depending on their closeness to the deceased. A community will mourn together. They will gather and pay tribute, In Loving Memory.
