Considerate Cremation & Burial Services Inc.

Considerate Cremation & Burial Services Inc. A unique service providing a caring, cost-effective alternative to traditional funeral homes. Typical savings of 30-50% vs. traditional funeral providers.

Fully accessible and comfortable facility with parking at the door. This business represents our combined hopes and dreams of the ability to serve families the way that they want to be served when they need assistance when someone has died. Considerate Cremation & Burial Services prices are very affordable – but that doesn’t mean they’re out to cut corners when it comes to service. As independent owners/operators and funeral service providers Holly & Bruce can take care of any burial or cremation request including green burial options. The dictionary defines “considerate” as “showing kindly awareness or regard for another’s feelings and circumstances” and that’s why it’s such a fitting name for their establishment. While Considerate Cremation & Burial Services offer a wide variety of flexible options for considerably less than a traditional funeral home, there is no sacrifice of quality or professionalism. Considerate Cremation & Burial Services is the long time dream of its owners and licensed funeral directors Holly Ann Prince-Jensen & Bruce Keating McClelland. Their story began in 1988 at a restaurant called Eddy’s In Old Port in Port Dalhousie where they met while working. Both later headed off to college together to pursue careers as funeral directors and their friendship strengthened throughout their college years. After graduation, their career paths widened to pursue their professional lives. Holly stayed in Niagara while Bruce moved to Peterborough. They stayed in touch and often spoke of the pact they made in school – if they were able to open their own place & work together in their own location they would see it through. Considerate Cremation & Burial Services is the realization of their dream. Over their many years of experience in the funeral industry Holly & Bruce became aware of the changing needs expressed by families. They wanted to make the memorial as unique as the person who had passed away. A growing number of families are opting for lower cost service options and simple, yet personalized, ceremonies. The creation of Considerate Cremation & Burial Services is the result of Holly and Bruce’s combined 48 years, listening and responding to what families desire while serving families needs. Holly & Bruce will serve families in need with warmth, empathy and the pinnacle of professionalism. Providing personalized service to meet your basic to traditional needs.
