We are constantly enhancing and updating the information in this medium and hope that you find it helpful and convenient.

We value and encourage your input. We are here to continue to provide the highest standards for our community and to the families that we serve.

Few funeral homes in Canada can match Carson Funeral Homes for longevity or experience. We have been the "family" funeral home for thousands of client families for over 125 years. A tradition since 1878, we have provided full-service funeral arrangements for all faiths, within everyone's means through the generations.

Admirable though tradition may be, we pride ourselves in our ability to be a leader and innovator in a constantly demanding profession. We are proud of the more than 20 men and women of the Carson family. We believe that each one is a caring, understanding professional who takes pride in helping people.
