~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Death Is Nothing At All

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Nothing has happened.

Everything remains exactly as it was.
I am I, and you are you,
and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.

Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident?

Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just round the corner.
All is well.

By Henry Scott-Holland

Our Story

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.
