Sweeny's Funeral Home and Crematorium is located in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and was founded in 1860. This is the oldest business operating under the same name as when it began in Yarmouth. The present building has a few additions since Jacob Sweeny owned the business, but still has part of the original Sweeny house in use.

Obituaries act as quiet reminders of the finite nature of our lives. Yet, for those who have recently experienced the death of a family member or friend, an obituary means so much more. It is a bittersweet reminder of all we've lost, but it can also help us to remember all we enjoyed while they were alive.
G. K. Chesterton wrote, Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die. The men and women who served in the armed forces, whether during a time of war, or one of peace, are living examples of that contradiction. Each should be honored and remembered, so that our gratitude never fades.
