Our Story

We are a family owned funeral business providing families with funeral, cremation, and alternative services at our 3 locations serving Thamesville, Dresden and Bothwell and the surrounding communities in Chatham-Kent and Lambton since 1956. For 61 years it has been a privilege and an honour for our family to assist families through their grief journey. Badder Funeral Homes grew again in 2005 with the purchase of the Dresden United Church. This became the current location of the Badder Funeral Home & Reception Centre, Dresden. It is similar in style to the Badder & Robinson Funeral Home. Again it is all on ground level with a very spacious chapel. In addition to the Bothwell funeral home, Dresden also has a children’s room and a small reception room.

Don continued to work with John and Jason before retiring. He and Shirley continue to reside in Bothwell. In 2000 the former Grace Anglican Church, Bothwell was purchased and became the new home of the Badder & Robinson Funeral Home. The new facility was built on ground level with a large spacious chapel to better serve the families of Bothwell and area.
