Keeping Your Care Close to Home
When you entrust a local funeral home with your arrangements, you maintain the right to choose where the cremation takes place. While many providers now transport loved ones to large, corporate facilities in distant cities, like Toronto, we believe in keeping care local. By requesting Lakefield Crematorium, you ensure your loved one stays in the community they called home, under the care of neighbors you trust.
Ask your funeral director to use Lakefield Crematorium. It’s your right to choose local.

Frequently Asked Question’s
Does the funeral home choose the crematorium?
While funeral homes often have a ‘preferred’ provider, the final decision belongs to the Executor or Next of Kin. However, you must explicitly state your preference for Lakefield Crematorium to the director.
Why does it matter where the cremation takes place?
Many facilities in larger cities operate on an industrial scale. By choosing a local option, you support the local economy and reduce unnecessary long-distance transport. In turn, this ensures a more dignified and environmentally friendly process.
Is there an extra cost to stay local?
Actually, choosing a local crematorium can often save you money. Not only is the service frequently less expensive, but you may also avoid the ‘transportation of remains’ fees that funeral homes charge for driving to distant cities.
Can I change my mind if I’ve already started arrangements?
Yes. Until the transport or cremation has actually occurred, you can notify the funeral director that you have a specific preference for Lakefield Crematorium.
