𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬

There are moments when the world can feel heavy, and the days seem clouded by uncertainty or loss. But even in those seasons, it’s important to pause and remember: goodness still surrounds us.

You’ll notice it in the quiet generosity of a stranger, in the laughter shared between friends, in a neighbor stopping by just to check in. It’s there in the steady rhythm of nature around us.

When life feels dark, we encourage you to keep your eyes open for these gentle reminders of hope and beauty. They may be small, but they are proof that light is never far away.

- Stay positive.
- Be kind.
- Look for the good—and you will find it.

𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟎, 𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟓 – 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓

Today marks 30 years since the doors of Fundy Funeral Home first opened.

Born from the vision of a group of individuals from the Co-Op Credit Union movement, our co-operative was founded on the belief that community-driven service and member ownership would make all the difference. Member ownership ensures that decisions are guided not by profit, but by people—allowing us to place families, compassion, and care at the very heart of everything we do.

In those early years, the road was not always easy. There were moments when the future felt uncertain, but the sacrifices of many volunteers—who gave their time, talents, and energy—kept the wheels turning and laid the foundation for what Fundy Funeral Home has become today.

Throughout this anniversary year, we’ve been saying thank you to our community through our 30 Acts of Kindness campaign. Giving back has always been important to us, because our community has entrusted us with their most meaningful moments, welcomed us into their lives, and made us part of their families.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the many staff, volunteers, and members of our Board of Directors—past and present—who have called Fundy their “second home.” Your dedication and compassion are the reason our story continues.

Here’s to the next chapter of serving, caring, and growing together.

Fall reminds us of change, of beauty, and of those we continue to remember.

Each season, without being asked, Debbie England refreshes our reception room with floral arrangements that reflect this meaning.

It’s a small but thoughtful reminder that even in times of loss, there can still be warmth and comfort in the seasons around us.

For our 13th Act of Kindness, we want to share some simple tips to help you make the most of the long weekend while spreading kindness along the way:

• Be patient and kind to those working through the holiday in restaurants, shops, and on the roads.

• Take a moment to check in on a neighbour or lend a hand with weekend projects.

• And remember — being kind to yourself matters too. Rest, recharge, and enjoy the moments that count.

Here’s to a safe, happy, and kind Labour Day weekend!

To continue our Acts of Kindness campaign, we decided to support the MS Society through A&W Canada “𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐒 𝐃𝐚𝐲.”

Each year, $2 from every Teen Burger sold on this day is donated to help fund ground-breaking research, provide support for those living with MS, and bring us one step closer to a future without multiple sclerosis.

This Act of Kindness was brought forward by one of our valued funeral director apprentices, 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞-𝐇𝐞́𝐥𝐞̀𝐧𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫, whose family has been personally impacted by MS.

This afternoon, Helene and Jamie went around to numerous businesses in our community, surprising hardworking staff with A&W Teen Burgers. The laughter, and gratitude shared reminded us all how a simple gesture—like a warm meal—can brighten someone’s day and bring our community closer together.

If you didn’t get a chance to join in this year, we encourage you to mark your calendar for next August and support 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐒 𝐃𝐚𝐲—together, we can help make a difference!

Today we remember Judge Frank Caprio, a man whose kindness, compassion, and fairness touched countless lives.

He reminded us all that justice is not only about the law, but also about humanity, empathy, and understanding.

His legacy will live on in the countless hearts he inspired.

Rest in peace, Judge Caprio — thank you for showing the world that compassion and justice can go hand in hand.

Judge Frank Caprio passed away peacefully at the age of 88 after a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Beloved for his compassion, humility, and unwavering belief in the goodness of people, Judge Caprio touched the lives of millions through his work in the courtroom and beyond. His warmth, humor, and kindness left an indelible mark on all who knew him.

He will be remembered not only as a respected judge, but as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend. His legacy lives on in the countless acts of kindness he inspired.

In his honor, may we each strive to bring a little more compassion into the world — just as he did every day.
