Cremation services include water cremation

Cremation is the preferred choice for many Canadian families. Ashburnham Funeral Home & Reception Centre provides compassionate cremation services, including water cremation, a process that uses water instead of flame. In 2020, Kawartha Aquamation became among the first businesses in Ontario to offer what some see as a gentler alternative. If you're interested in learning about water cremation, be sure to ask. We will walk you through the options and help you learn what's right for you.
