Just north of Toronto is Richmond Hill, home to the beautiful Elgin Mills Cemetery. Located at 1591 Elgin Mills Road East, Elgin Mills Cemetery is a sprawling property that features an abundance of trees, stunning flowerbeds boasting seasonal blooms and the sparkling headwaters of the Rouge River. Ground burial, cremation and mausoleum entombment are available as well as a Veterans’ section that was designed by architect Evertt Wilson, a renown Canadian architect.

When a funeral flower order is brought to the Elgin Mills Cemetery, it is most often requested to be delivered to the Visitation Centre. The beautiful Visitation Centre at Elgin Mills Cemetery opened its doors in 2000. In the welcoming spaces of this building there are 2 visitation rooms, a stunning chapel that seats 200, and number of reception rooms for 75 guests. As such, the Centre allows you the option of having the visitation, chapel service, burial or entombment and reception scheduled in one place.

Many of the funeral services that take place at the Murray E Newbigging Funeral Home, located at 733 Mount Pleasant Road in North Toronto, are non-denominational. A few are even totally nonreligious.

When a loved one passes away, some believe that a funeral service is required only for those who are religious or belong to a church, temple, mosque or other religious institution. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

A funeral service is not just an important rite of passage with a set of customs that is dictated by the faith of the beloved. Rather, it is to celebrate a life lived, bid them a final farewell, and begin the mourning process amidst others who feel the same. It can forge a supportive network that helps all those mourning, and this can be done regardless of the absence of faith/religion. The service can be comprised of traditional activities, or be entirely different, however most often it includes a eulogy, displayed casket and sympathy flowers to commemorate the beloved. The expertise of the staff at Murray E Newbigging Funeral Home can help arrange a suitable service that is both personalized and meaningful, while the Sympathy Advisors at 416-Florist.com can help you select the most suitable funeral flowers.

One of the most popular type of funeral flowers delivered to the McDougall & Brown Funeral Home, Kingston Rd. Chapel, is in the form of carnations.

Carnations are actually the perfect florist’s flower, since they fairly hardy and have become the bloom of choice for a variety of occasions throughout the year. They are a hybrid of the Dianthus species, its full name being D. caryophyllus. This flower, known for its sweet scent and frilly bloom, is grown in a temperate environment that greenhouses can optimally achieve year round.

Considered to be the official flower for Mother’s Day, carnations are also a common addition to funeral flower arrangements including sprays, tributes and traditional bouquets. At 416-Florist.com, we offer a number of sympathy flowers featuring the carnation, such as the White Simplicity Basket and All White Spray. Although they are pictured in white, we do offer these arrangements (like all of our funeral flower arrangements) in the colour of your choice since we understand that a particular shade may be more appropriate for the occasion. For example, you may decide that the funeral service at  McDougall & Brown Funeral Home  is for someone who you admired. In this instance, light red carnations are indicative of this emotion. White may be preferred to convey your feelings of purity, while gratitude may be expressed by pink. Simply let our Sympathy Advisors know what colour you’d prefer or the emotion you’d like to express, and they’ll help you select the appropriate arrangement.

McDougall & Brown Funeral Home, Kingston Rd. Chapel, is located at 2900 Kingston Rd, Toronto, On. M1M 1N5. Please call them directly at 416-267-4656.
