There are many arrangements that
are supervised by a Licensed Funeral Director after a
death occurs. Many phases of our work are apparent, others
are not. The following information on some of these details
will help you understand what is actually involved. Traditions,
customs, social standing, personal feeling, financial
ability and a multitude of other influences are all taken
into consideration with the planning of each funeral.
Our services must conform to each individual family's
wishes and their personal and religious needs.
At the Barclay Funeral Home, we
have been serving the area since 1980. We are committed
to you and your personal preferences as we work together
to design funeral or cremation services just the way you
want it. Our experience has shown us that most families
select one of the following services, each of which can
be personalized to meet your needs and wishes.

Cremation is chosen for a variety of
reasons. Some people choose this option on environmental considerations,
philosophical or religious reasons. Others feels it is simpler
and less complicated. Whatever the reason may be, Barclay Funeral
Home is here to help you with any questions you may have regarding
cremation.
There are many options available with cremation. Many families
hold a service, which helps the bereaved cope with the loss
of a family member or loved one. Opting for cremation gives
them the opportunity to personalize the various service options
for a more meaningful experience.
The greatest misunderstanding about cremation is that there
is no need for a funeral service. However, a memorial ceremony
is an important step in helping the bereaved overcome their
grief and gives the opportunity to friends and family to honour
a loved one.
Ceremonies can proceed or follow the actual cremation. Before
the cremation, there may be a gathering, which can be either
public or private, with an open or closed casket. When services
follow the cremation, an urn containing the cremated remains
may take a place of prominence. After the ceremony, the final
disposition of the cremated remains takes place.

please contact Barclay Funeral Home at (613) 342-2792.

lot attendants, 24 hour telephone coverage, etc.
Embalmer or Alternate Care: These charges are for the

Embalming is only required by law under certain circumstances.
It is the temporary disinfection, preservation, and restoration
of the body and is a suggested service should a family wish
an open casket for either public or family viewing. If the funeral
service were to be extended past 48 hours after a death occurs
we would recommend consideration of this procedure. Written
permission is required before embalming of the beneficiary.
Documentation: This charge is for receiving and recording
of all necessary information to complete the documents legally
required on connection with the deposition and/or transportation
of the remains. This charge does not include other professional

This also includes the provision of the Funeral Director's Proof
of Death Certificates for estate purposes.

our chapel is used to offset additional personal, transportation
and equipment cost arising from the function being away from
our facility.
Preparation or Alternate Care Facilities: Includes
the use of the room specifically designed and monitored by
The Department of Health for the purpose of sheltering the
