On Thursday evening, our One Arbor Niagara staff was able to take a break from Funeral Services and come together with team members from all our divisions (JJ Patterson Funeral Home, Butler Funeral Home, Pleasantview Funeral Home, Pleasantview Cemetery and Pleasantview Cemetery Property) to enjoy each other’s company before the Christmas season gets hectic with family and friends.

We always appreciate the opportunity to spend time together off the clock, sharing laughs and making memories. We missed those who weren’t able to join us and are grateful for everyone who could make it.

A heartfelt thank you to all of our managers and Carpaccio's Restaurant for a wonderful evening filled with great food, laughter, and fun.

Merry Christmas from all of us at One Arbor! 🎄

✨ Meet Giselle! ✨

Giselle has been a valued member of the Pleasantview family for 6 years, and she truly wears many hats! You may see her as a backup receptionist, welcoming guests for visitation, as a hostess in our reception lounge, or working behind the scenes as Pleasantview’s housekeeper—making sure our funeral home always sparkles.

Giselle also has a special touch when it comes to decorating, keeping both our interior and exterior beautifully styled throughout the year, especially during the holidays.

When she’s not busy helping wherever she’s needed at Pleasantview, Giselle loves spending time with her grandkids—her pride and joy—or decorating her home for the holidays.

Always cheerful, helpful, and a joy to be around, we are so grateful for everything Giselle does.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Giselle! 🎉
We hope you have a wonderful day—you deserve it!

🌟 Meet Doug! 🌟
For an incredible 37 years, Doug has been a dedicated member of the Property Crew at Pleasantview Memorial Gardens Cemetery. Yes, you read that right — 37 years! If you ever needed a tour of the cemetery, we’re pretty sure Doug could give you one blindfolded.

Doug lives in Wainfleet with his wife and family in the beautiful home they built together with the help of loved ones. He also owns a small tree farm, a reflection of his love for the outdoors and hard work. Doug and his wife are blessed with two wonderful children and one very loved grandchild. During hockey season, you can often find Doug and his wife at the rink, proudly cheering on their granddaughter.

When he’s not at work, you’ll likely find Doug spending quality time with his family or enjoying his passion for classic cars. Known for his mechanical genius, Doug is the go-to guy on the team whenever a machine needs a little extra attention.

Please join us in wishing Doug a very Happy Birthday today! 🎉🎂
Here’s to his dedication, talent, and the many ways he makes our team stronger every day.

Meet Andrea.
Andrea began her career with Arbor on February 13, 2012, at our former Butler Duke Street location. Today, she proudly serves as the Assistant Manager of Pleasantview Funeral Home.

A devoted mother to her wonderful daughter, Danielle, Andrea is honoured to serve the Fonthill community—where she grew up, raised her daughter, and continues to live with her family.

When she’s not supporting families at Pleasantview, Andrea is often found tending to her beloved vegetable garden (second only to Danielle of coarse). She is especially excited about harvesting her largest crop yet: 200 heads of garlic planted this past November for a 2026 harvest.

A lover of charcuterie, Andrea is known for crafting stunning boards. She also finds peace beside a campfire, enjoying everything from the challenge of lighting it to the soothing dance of the flames. Pleasantview simply wouldn’t be the same without Andrea’s daily organization, leadership, and heart.

Help us in making Andrea's day and wishing her a very Happy Birthday today!

🌟 Meet Ian! 🌟

We’re excited to introduce Ian, who joined Arbor (Butler Funeral Home & Pleasantview Funeral Home) six and a half months ago as a Senior Director. Ian has been dedicated to funeral service since 1995 and has proudly held his Ontario funeral license since 2002.

A Niagara resident for over 18 years, Ian is not only deeply rooted in the community but also a proud Canadian through and through. His interests include philosophy, realistic drawing, and spirituality, bringing a thoughtful and creative spirit to our team.

✨ Fun fact: Ian holds a black belt in Wado Ryu, an Okinawan style of martial arts — so watch out, he’s tougher than he looks! 😉

Ian keeps our days bright with his quick wit and great sense of humour. We’re grateful to have him as part of the Pleasantview family!

🌟 Meet Garret 🌟

Garret became a licensed Funeral Director at the age of 40, and for the past 10 years Pleasantview has been truly blessed to have him as a dedicated Funeral Director Assistant. His compassion, professionalism, and warm presence make him an invaluable part of our team.

Garret has been married to his beloved wife, Helen, for 50 wonderful years—a milestone that speaks to their love, faith, and partnership. Together, they have been blessed with two children and a lifetime of cherished memories.

Long before joining Pleasantview, Garret made his mark on the ice, earning the title of OCAA’s Best Goaltender with Niagara College in 1972. Today, when he’s not assisting families or involved in church activities, you’ll likely find him on the golf course enjoying a well-deserved round.

One thing is for certain: if you’re working a shift with Garret, everyone who walks through the door knows his name. His kindness, humour, and genuine approach to people make him unforgettable.

We’re grateful every day to have Garret as part of the Pleasantview family. 💙

Fun Funeral Fact Friday....
Why Do People Wear Black to Funerals?

Wearing black to a funeral is a long-standing tradition in many areas of the world, particularly in Canada and the United States. Funerals are usually somber occasions, and wearing black indicates that you’re mourning the loss of someone. It’s also considered a sign of respect for the deceased. Historians believe the tradition of wearing black at funerals dates back to at least the time of the Roman Empire. The ancient Romans would wear a dark toga, known as a toga pulla, to mourn the loss of a loved one. Many of these customs were passed down from English predecessors. Historians note that Queen Victoria was known for wearing black to funerals to show dignity and respect for those in mourning. While black is the traditional colour of mourning in Western nations, many other countries around the world have different customs. In India and China, for example, the traditional colour of mourning is white. Indian Hindus wear white because it’s the colour of purity. Countries throughout Asia and Africa have a wide variety of customary funeral colours. In South Africa and Ghana, red is often worn to funerals. You can also find countries that wear purple (Thailand), yellow (Myanmar), and blue (Iran).
