Funeral Fact Friday 💡

The wait is over… introducing the “Living Cocoon.” 🌱

That unique item we shared earlier this week? It’s called a Living Cocoon—a biodegradable casket made from mushroom mycelium (the root structure of fungi).

Unlike traditional caskets, this innovative option is designed to:
• Break down naturally in the soil
• Enrich the earth with nutrients
• Support the natural decomposition process of returning to the earth

In the right conditions, it can fully biodegrade in as little as 30-45 days, helping reduce environmental impact while creating new life beneath the surface.

It’s a beautiful example of how funeral service continues to evolve—offering families more eco-friendly and meaningful choices.

Funeral Fact Friday 🇨🇦

Honouring Service with the Canadian Flag

Did you know that the casket of a veteran may be draped with the Canadian flag as a sign of respect and gratitude for their service?

For those who served in the Canadian Armed Forces, including the Royal Canadian Navy, this tradition is a powerful tribute to their dedication to our country.

What many people don’t know is the proper way a flag is placed onto a casket of veteran. The flag is carefully placed with the Maple Leaf centered, and the upper left corner is positioned at the left shoulder of the deceased.

A simple gesture… with deep meaning. 🇨🇦

Funeral Fact Friday ❤️

The Symmetry of the Face

Did you know… symmetry plays a huge role in what we do every day as funeral directors and embalmers.

When someone has experienced trauma—or even something as small as a cut—professionals rely on the natural proportions of the human face to help restore a peaceful, lifelike appearance for their final goodbye.

And here’s the interesting part… you can try it on your own face at home!

• The face is typically 5 eye-widths across
• Your eye width is equal to the width of the tip of your nose
• The corners of your mouth line up with the centers of your eyes
• Your face is divided into three equal parts:
• Hairline to eyebrows
• Eyebrows to base of nose
• Base of nose to chin
• Your ear, nose, forehead height, and lower face (nose to chin) are all very similar in length
• The bottom lip sits halfway through the lower third of your face
• Your lips are roughly as wide as your eyebrows

These natural guides help us recreate balance, dignity, and familiarity, giving families comfort when it matters most.

Funeral Fact Friday ⚱️⚰️

Did you know that in Ontario it is legal for families to build their own casket or urn if they choose?

For some families, creating something by hand can be a meaningful and comforting way to honour their loved one.

If a family chooses to make their own urn, it’s important to know that an adult’s cremated remains typically require an urn that holds approximately 180–200 cubic inches.

For those considering building a casket, a typical adult casket is roughly 80 inches long and about 29 inches wide. It must also be built strong enough to safely support the weight of the deceased and include secure handles for carrying. The lid should also be designed so it can be properly and safely secured closed.

Families considering this option are always welcome to speak with a funeral professional to ensure their design meets the necessary practical requirements.

If you would like more information about this option, please feel free to reach out to one of our funeral directors. We are always here to help guide you through your choices.
