As 2025 comes to a close, we look to reflect on the year and seek ways to better serve our surrounding communities who put so much faith in us.
It is beyond what words can express how much your trust and loyalty mean to us.
So, as this year draws to a close, we pause with deep reflection and gratitude for the families who entrusted us with the care of their loved ones. It is an honour that is never taken lightly. We recognize that families have many choices, and we are profoundly thankful to those who chose to place their trust in us during some of life’s most tender and difficult moments.
To those who are grieving—whether your loss is recent or many months behind you—please know that your grief matters, your memories matter, and you are not alone. Our care and compassion do not end with the service or the passing of time. We remain committed to walking alongside you in the days, months, and years ahead, offering support, understanding, and a steady presence whenever it is needed.
As a family-owned funeral home rooted in the community we serve, we are humbled by the privilege of accompanying families through their journeys of loss, remembrance, and healing. Thank you for allowing us to stand with you, to listen, and to honour the lives that will always be remembered. It is a responsibility we carry with heartfelt appreciation and enduring respect.
With sincere gratitude and continued care,
Shannon and Shawna Leson and LFH staff

A message from your loved one.

I know Christmas feels different without me there.
I see the empty space. I feel the ache in your heart.

Please don’t rush yourself to feel cheerful.
Don’t force smiles or traditions that feel too heavy this year.
Your love for me is still there. I feel it in every memory, every tear, every quiet moment.

When you laugh, I’m close.
When you cry, I’m closer still.
Nothing about your grief has pushed me away.

If you can, notice the small glimmers.
The warmth of a candle.
A moment of calm.
A smile that surprises you.

Those moments don’t mean you’ve forgotten me.
They mean you’re still living.
And that’s what I want for you.

Carry me with you, not as pain you must hide, but as love that shaped you.

Take this Christmas one breath at a time.

I am always with you.

Just in a different way ✨

Please be gentle with a grievers heart. Their world is forever divided into before and after, and they carry both with them every single day. Even the simplest moments require choosing which part of their story to step into, and both can bring deep pain. Your kindness and compassion are the greatest gifts you can offer. ❤️
