The Alexander & Houle Funeral Home has been designed to provide access to everyone in a quiet residential neighbourhood. It is the largest and most modern funeral home in Chatham. Our chapel seats 180 people comfortably; and a well appointed reception area can be found within the building that provides a variety of catering options. Respect, honour, and dignity are the principles of how our funeral home cares for families that ask for our assistance during a time of loss or in pre-planning one's funeral service.
Services
We acknowledge and encourage families to carefully consider their loved ones and their own wishes in planning a funeral service. Each service needs to respect and honour the life lived and not simply the life lost. Planning funeral services, whether at the time of need or pre-planning one's funeral service, can be as unique and specialized as the person(s) it is to honour.
Death is not a concept embraced warmly in our culture. In fact, if at all possible most of us try not to think about our death. Pre-Planning your funeral can be an act of caring for your friends and family members. They will know exactly what you want for your final ceremony and will not have to make decisions when they are grieving.
Our funeral home's visitation suites are tastefully decorated. The simple elegance reflected in colour, furnishings, and architecture provide a comforting and serene environment. Each suite provides a generous space to meet with family and friends during visitation or for the privacy of one's immediate family.
Alexander & Houle Funeral Home is owned and operated by Dan & Anne Houle (Funeral Director and Office Administrator respectively). Please feel free to contact us with any questions that you may have. We process memorial donations at the funeral home on your behalf. We accept cash or cheque to your charity of choice.

My wife Rebecca and I have had Anne and Dan look after our needs on more than one occasion. We are very impressed with them. As well, other members of our family and friends have needed their services and were also impressed. They are the best, like family, extremely professional. They make a time in your life that can be so stressful and difficult go much smoother and less hectic. They strive to meet any and all of your needs like it's no problem at all, they just do it. You will not find a better funeral home.

The owners Dan and Anne Houle are kind caring and ready to answer questions. Very helpful before the service and after. My younger Son and his family live in the U.S.A. and were unable to come for the service because of Covid 19, which is natural, a good safeguard. The Funeral Home is keeping Abie's ashes until next summer, maybe the epidemic… will be over enough that they can come over. They also helped us with the final arrangements. Things at a time like that are not always clear you aren't always thinking clearly. Thank you Dan and Anne you were there when we needed you. . Dorothy Heersma

I attempted to leave a condolence to the family of Barbara German 3 times and it was never delivered, only lost each time it was attempted to be sent. Infact, I had to redo this review twice in an attempt to send. It is very difficult to put your emotions down in text only to have it lost each and every time.

This past week was a real tough week for our family as we had to put my mother to rest Dianne Van Dolder. This funeral home was amazing with all the details. I have been to a couple of funeral home in Chatham. These people were so compassionate and caring. I would highly recommend this funeral home.

Excellent service! Dan and Anne went above and beyond to help give us the best possible experience and tribute to our mother. The little extra touches, and ideas made our service unique. Could never thank them enough for the time, companion and willingness to listen to are thoughts and fears. The whole staff is just amazing from the moment you walk through the doors. Highly recommend Alexander & Houle funeral home.
