Ashburnham Funeral Home & Reception Centre

Ashburnham Funeral Home & Reception Centre Ashburnham Funeral Home & Reception Centre is here to serve you in your time of need.

The Community Alternative Difference:
1) Experience: John Cunningham has been a Licensed Funeral Director for the past 24 years. Beginning with his great-grandfather, Louis Nicholas Phippen, John's family has provided funeral services for the people of Ontario for four generations. John has had the honour of providing his services for prestigious funeral homes such as Humphrey-Miles, Turner & Porter, and Ogden Funeral Homes.

2) Affordability: Community Alternative was founded to provide affordable services to the Peterborough Community. By keeping our facilities modest and using existing facilities in our community, we are able to offer our services and merchandise at an approximate average of half the cost currently available in our community.

3) Locally Owned and Operated: We are not owned by a multinational funeral conglomerate. All decisions are made at the community level and we are able to respond to local needs and conditions immediately. Our caskets are manufactured locally, and we strive to support and promote many of the quality businesses in our Peterborough community.

4) No Commissioned Sales People: Making funeral arrangements can be stressful enough. At Community Alternative, we are committed to helping families select the services they want without any sales pressures. We encourage you to research funeral home costs and services before you make any decisions. To assist you with your research, we offer our complete price list on our web site, you may obtain a copy at our location, or we would be pleased to mail you information.

For those interested in Aquamation news and events, here is an interesting article about the late Bishop Desmond Tutu and Aquamation.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, long a champion of environmental causes, asked to be aquamated -- a more eco-friendly process of breaking down the body than traditional cremation.

Such an awesome guy!

This well dressed tuba player is John, who not only provides us with the melodic bass line, he provided us with a place to practice during the summer months.

Thank you very much, John for letting us use your lot at Ashburnham Funeral Home & Reception Centre (840 Armour Rd, in Peterborough!) to let us bring music back into our lives this summer. We are all so very grateful for your generosity (and of course, your tuba playing 🙂 )🎼

What a great way to spend a Sunday morning! We are so pleased to be back out in our community getting involved and supporting our local businesses. Thank you Peterborough Curling Club for the opportunity to sponsor a hole at your club golf tournament. It was nice to interact with your members and share our information about Kawartha Aquamation! It was very nice to see so many happy faces out enjoying the summer!
