Services
The funeral home is an important part of any community. In addition to providing a variety of necessary services to the community such as burial services, cremation services, memorial services and celebrations of life, funeral homes also serve as resources for those grieving the loss of a loved one.
It was early spring, in 1933, when my father, Gilbert MacIntyre, opened the doors of his funeral parlour on Quebec Street, Guelph. He was only 23 years old but he knew even then that this is what he wanted to do. He also ran an ambulance service out of the same location. In 1938, the Dublin Street house was purchased, and our family lived upstairs.
Funeral Services Throughout history, burial has been a common practice in human communities, large and small; around the world.

Services provided for my Aunt’s funeral were really professional. I misplaced my COVID face mask and the staff promptly gave me a new one after they noticed I was without.
We all wish we wouldn’t need to have funeral parlours but it’s a part of life we all go through and is a relief when those services are handled by good people. Thank You.

It is never a good way to meet people, or discover an excellence in customer care and compassion... but that exactly how I would describe my experience with both Norm and Jason from Gilbery Macintyre. It is a difficult time, laying someone of significance in your life, and having had the opportunity to be a customer of these two, made closure and peace possible form my loved ones. Norm did an excellent job explaining what at the time seems so complex and overwhelming, with knowledge, experience and most importantly compassion. Thank you for doing such a great job helping prepare and remember a
