We celebrated Hannah’s 2nd year Anniversary with us this week. She started here as a student getting a feel for the industry and the career she was interested in. Next she went away to Sudbury to attend College Boreal and she completed the Funeral Services Education Program. She returned to us for her apprenticeship and she successfully obtained her Class 1 Funeral Director License this past October. We are blessed to have her as part of our Welland Funeral Home family and we are grateful for her hard work ethic her love and compassion for the families we serve and for her drive to grow into a leadership role within our family. Thanks for all you do and for all that you are Hannah. We love you and we are grateful for you ❤️

As we step into May, let's pause to appreciate the beauty of renewal all around us. This month reminds us that growth often follows stillness, and new beginnings are always possible. May we open our hearts to change, find joy in the present moment, and live with purpose, compassion and hope. Let May be a gentle invitation to bloom where we are planted, to nurture what matters most, and to live more fully, one day at a time.

Grief can be compared to a journey along a winding road. Unpredictable, personal, and ever changing. No two people travel the same path, even if they are mourning the same loss. Each turn, hill, and stretch of fog reflects the ups and downs of emotion, the moments of deep pain, unexpected peace, or confusing numbness.
Unlike a straight road with a clear start and finish, the grief journey is not linear. There isn't a defined beginning where the pain starts, nor an end point where it neatly resolves. Instead, grief loops back, pauses, or speeds ahead without warning. You might feel like you are making progress one day, only to feel lost and overwhelmed the next. That doesn't mean you are failing - it simply means you are human.
Grief doesn't follow a map. It invites us to move forward at our own pace, to rest when needed, and to recognize that healing never means forgetting. It means learning to carry the love and the loss together, as you continue down the road - even if you can't yet see where it leads. ❤

This young guy turned 68 last week 😊
He had the day off on his birthday so we celebrated a little late. Cal wears many hats at the funeral home. He is our Chief Maintenance Officer and can pretty much fix anything that needs fixing 😊 He is a reliable and enthusiastic Funeral Director Assistant. He greets and tends to the families we serve. He plays jokes on us all once in a while and shares important bits of wisdom with each of us from time to time. We love him dearly. We are grateful to have him as a valuable member of our family and we hope his 68th birthday was wonderful 🎂❤️

It is an extra special day for all of us at the funeral home today :) we would like to shout out a big congratulations to our Hannah for receiving the news that she is now a fully licensed Funeral Director. It has been a blessing to have her join our amazing team of professionals. Hannah started with us almost two years ago as a student who was interested in becoming a licensed funeral director. She left us to attend College Boreal in Sudbury for a year in their Funeral Service Program and then returned on completion of her first year to work with us as an intern and complete her second year of schooling. Today she received the news that she has passed all of her requirements to earn a Funeral Director Class 1 License and we could not be more proud of her. Wishing you a purpose filled career with us Hannah. We are grateful to have you join us on our mission to lovingly walk alongside the families we serve who are on the most difficult journeys through loss and grief. You are a perfect fit and we love you xo
