Services
Fairview was founded by President, Michael Sheedy and his wife Shelley and the mandate was to offer high quality funeral services with a budget in mind to enable families to get services at costs that minimize the financial burden some families experience at the time of the death of a loved one.
Success came quite quickly to Fairview as it offered no fewer than 6 rental casket options and tailored its services towards the rapidly growing desire for cremation.The first of its kind in Canada. Looking at other industries such as hotels, restaurants, etc. they all seemed to have tiered the marketplace in order to offer people a choice and these options for funeral homes was absent and choices were minimal.

Whether you are opting for burial or cremation services in Ottawa, a traditional funeral service begins with visitation and/or viewing before and possibly on the day of the funeral. Spending this time with your loved one allows you and your family the opportunity for a personal goodbye and starts the closure portion of the grief process.

We had to arrange very quickly at the last minute for the cremation of my father as a result of rapid declining health at St-Vincent Hospital in Ottawa. We contacted First Memorial and all arrangements were done over the phone. The funeral director we dealt with was very professional, compassionate, and understanding. The cremation itself and the return of the ashes was very prompt along with all paperwork that included the death certificates and all other necessary documentation.

We have received an honest and polite reception. All of their services offer were with no pressure at all. All our wills were respected as well with our budget.
We were looking to have a very simple service/accomodation as per the will of our dad. Even if we were not to spend thousands $, the staff was supportive and never felt pressure of whatsoever.
I would highly recommand them for the excellence of assistance of the staff.

We used First Memorial Funeral Services for our mothers funeral service last week, and although Covid has left things very chaotic, the staff did a fantastic job keeping us informed every step of the way.
The service was a beautiful celebration of our mothers life and we can't thank First Memorial enough! A very special thank you goes out to both Chloe and Caleigh! You two have made the grief process bearable with your kindness and consideration along the way.
You have our highest praise and we definitely recommend First Memorial Funeral Services going forward.

We contacted First Memorial Funeral Services to make arrangements for my mother.
Our contact, Lia Spoltore was amazing! She walked us through the entire process and helped us choose the details we wanted to ensure a personal approach that reflected my mother’s wishes.
Lia was both kind and professional. She made an emotional situation easier for us to make the decisions that we needed to make.
We have already recommended First Memorial Funeral Services to family and friends.
