Considerate Cremation & Burial Services Inc.

A unique service providing a caring, cost-effective alternative to traditional funeral homes. Typical savings of 30-50% vs. traditional funeral providers.

Fully accessible and comfortable facility with parking at the door. This business represents our combined hopes and dreams of the ability to serve families the way that they want to be served when they need assistance when someone has died. Considerate Cremation & Burial Services prices are very affordable – but that doesn’t mean they’re out to cut corners when it comes to service. As independent owners/operators and funeral service providers Holly & Bruce can take care of any burial or cremation request including green burial options. The dictionary defines “considerate” as “showing kindly awareness or regard for another’s feelings and circumstances” and that’s why it’s such a fitting name for their establishment. While Considerate Cremation & Burial Services offer a wide variety of flexible options for considerably less than a traditional funeral home, there is no sacrifice of quality or professionalism. Considerate Cremation & Burial Services is the long time dream of its owners and licensed funeral directors Holly Ann Prince-Jensen & Bruce Keating McClelland. Their story began in 1988 at a restaurant called Eddy’s In Old Port in Port Dalhousie where they met while working. Both later headed off to college together to pursue careers as funeral directors and their friendship strengthened throughout their college years. After graduation, their career paths widened to pursue their professional lives. Holly stayed in Niagara while Bruce moved to Peterborough. They stayed in touch and often spoke of the pact they made in school – if they were able to open their own place & work together in their own location they would see it through. Considerate Cremation & Burial Services is the realization of their dream. Over their many years of experience in the funeral industry Holly & Bruce became aware of the changing needs expressed by families. They wanted to make the memorial as unique as the person who had passed away. A growing number of families are opting for lower cost service options and simple, yet personalized, ceremonies. The creation of Considerate Cremation & Burial Services is the result of Holly and Bruce’s combined 48 years, listening and responding to what families desire while serving families needs. Holly & Bruce will serve families in need with warmth, empathy and the pinnacle of professionalism. Providing personalized service to meet your basic to traditional needs.

WILKINS, Robert James “Bob”

After a lengthy bout with cancer, Bob passed away at West Lincoln Memorial Hospital on Sunday, December 28, 2025 at 79 years of age. He was the beloved husband and best friend of Seanne (nee Thomas) for 55 years.

Brother-in-law of Ron Thomas and the late Elsie Campbell (2011). Uncle of Scott (Betsy), Carli (Brent), Erin (Colton) and the late Stuart (2025) (Sandra). Great-Uncle of Lexi, Sierra, Alex, Katie, Grayson, Harrison and Henley.

Bob began his career in computer programming in large businesses in Toronto. At mid-life, he quit the security of big business and began his own company offering various computer services to not-for-profit organizations.

In retirement he engaged in his love of music and dance through involvement in ballroom line dancing at the Burlington Seniors’ Centre under the guidance of Arthurlyn Seager. Once he was no longer able to dance he continued to choreograph his favourite music for the class. While
he could never carry a tune, he was a fabulous dancer!

We would like to thank Dr’s Mary Salib, Linda Lee and Trevor Lewis for their cancer care, as well as the staff at West Lincoln Memorial Hospital who cared for him in his final days.

KOEHLE, Larry Thomas
P.Eng., MPA.

It is with profound sadness and with deep love that Larry’s family announce his passing on Wednesday, December 23, 2025 in Welland, Ontario from a glioblastoma tumour. (Cancer sucks!).

Former Commissioner of Works and Transportation and City Engineer, City of Brampton, Past President, American Public Works Association, Past President and Paul Harris Fellow and Rotary Club of Brampton.

Cherished husband of 37 years of Nancy (Porteous), big brother of Norman (Annie Dale).

Proud, loving Dad of daughters, Tami and Kristan, loved and respected stepdad of Elizabeth and Greg Ugolini, Jacqueline and Alessandro Torresan.

His four grandkids: Kiara (Tommy Theodosopoulos), Graham (Breena Hogan), Alexander and Victoria (Cherechi Chukwueke) brought him an abundance of joy throughout his life. He was further blessed in his later years with four rambunctious and delightful great-grandsons: Evander, Eddison, Colton and Carson who never failed to put a smile on his face.

Summers of his youth were spent at his family’s cottage on Trent River, Ontario but when Larry retired from the City of Brampton he very happily wintered and golfed in Weeki Wachee, Florida hopefully never having to deal with the cold and snow again.

Larry’s life of 80 years was filled throughout with many dear and lasting friends and each one was thought of as a special gift. Thank you for your prayers, your caring and your love as he travelled this short horrific journey.

To we his family, Larry was our intelligent, calm, steadfast and patient voice of reason. Never interfering but diligently ready with supportive help. Our backs were always covered. He was our everything. We have so many wonderful memories. Thank you, Larry.

In honour of Larry’s wishes, a private family service and cremation has taken place.

WILKINSON, William John

With deep love and heavy hearts, the family of William John Wilkinson (W***y) announces his peaceful passing on Sunday, December 22, 2025. William was the devoted husband of Glennice (Glennie), with whom he shared 56 years of marriage - a partnership filled with laughter, adventure and a life well lived.

William leaves behind his daughter, Samantha Downing (Jon); proud “Grandpa” of Owen and Taylor. He is also lovingly remembered by his son, Michael Wilkinson (Sue Barnhart), and their twin boys, Reed and Isaac. His family was the center of his world and each of them brought him great joy.

In his early years, William served briefly as a firefighter in the Air Force, gathering many memorable stories from his time in Goose Bay, Labrador - stories he enjoyed sharing throughout his life. After returning home, he met Glennie and began building the life they would enjoy together for more than five decades.

William worked at Hayes Dana as a welder and later simultaneously ran his own photography business, balancing both jobs at once. He photographed countless weddings over the years and took great pride in capturing special moments for so many families.

Later, he retired, embracing a chapter filled with freedom, hobbies, and exploration. A man with a true zest for life; William loved to travel and experience new places. Whether cruising the open road in his Corvette or enjoying time close to home, he found joy in discovering something new, meeting people, and simply living in the moment. He was a lifelong car enthusiast with a special fondness for GM vehicles. Over the years he owned several cars, enjoyed attending car shows and especially loved driving them - even racing when he had the chance. His garage was his sanctuary, a place where he could tinker, polish, repair and spend time with the many friends who stopped by to share stories or talk cars. For many years, William and Glennie also made the long drive to Florida, spending a few cherished weeks each winter at Lighthouse Cove, a tradition they looked forward to year after year.

William will be remembered for his easygoing nature, his sense of humour, his love of adventure and the deep affection he held for his friends and family. His presence will be profoundly missed, but his stories, laughter and the countless moments he shared will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Cremation has taken place; a Celebration of his Life will be held in the future. To honour his memory, the family welcomes donations to the Niagara Children’s Centre - an organization he supported for many years through the Corvette Club - or to the NHS - Walker Family Cancer Centre. https://donate.mytributegift.org/?cid=0cbcebf3965cef15587594320633fec2d20baa9218710fe52bb8d3c28ab8cce2&fh=FRP-308918&fp=3089186b5c6c0632d102cc0b9fbb841d8e

Gord will be missed by his sisters-in-law: Barbara (Wayne) Orcutt of Woodview & Brenda Nash of St. Catharines as well as many nephews, nieces and cousins in the Siren, Speck and Brickell families.

Gord was a man who always brought laughter and support to his many loves and passions. This included his time working at TRW. volunteering in the various St Catharines community programs. Gord’s passion of camping, fishing and hunting in his last few years brought him so much joy and pleasure.

In honouring Gord’s wishes a Celebration of Life will be held from 1-4 pm on Saturday, January 3rd, 2026 at Grantham Lions Club, 732 Niagara Street, St. Catharines. Memorial donations to Canadian Cancer Society, Lions Camp Dorset or charity of choice would be appreciated. https://donate.mytributegift.org/?cid=168380e7b8c83740e3f8e7f0bb0d031e6353fac40302af072f3aea9a664b2284&fh=FRP-308918&fp=3089186b5c6c0632d102cc0b9fbb841d8e
