About

Founded in 1996, Jerrett Life Celebration Centre has been an important part of the Thornhill community for more than a decade. We are the youngest member of the Kane-Jerrett Funeral Homes family and are proud to offer the families of Thornhill, Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Greater Toronto the same excellence and quality funeral care as families have come to expect from funeral homes in the Jerrett group since the mid-1930s.

Convenient, welcoming location

Chapel at Jerrett Life Celebration CentreWith a large, open-concept facility, Jerrett Life Celebration Centre hosts events of every size and style. We are easily accessible, just south of the 407 and on the VIVA bus route direct from the TTC Finch station. The central location on Yonge Street has plenty of parking. 

Our staff speaks English, Italian, Spanish, Cantonese, Vietnamese and Tagalog. Our funeral directors are knowledgeable and practiced in funeral rites from a diverse range of religious and cultural backgrounds. We specialize in international shipping arrangements and have many years of experience in helping families repatriate loved ones.

Personalized funeral services

We believe that every person is unique and that every service should be too. We work with you and your family to create an unforgettable memorial. Start with a story. We'll take it from there.

Over the years, we've conducted funerals and memorials for many Toronto and York Region police officers and public servants. It is our honour to care for those who guide and protect us. We are also certified by the Green Burial Council and provide options that reflect the values of the eco-conscious.

History

History plaque at Jerrett Life Celebration CentreJerrett Life Celebration Centre opened in 1996 as York Family Funeral Centre. Shortly thereafter, in response to the increasingly diverse population in Thornhill and other areas north of Toronto, the name of the business changed to Hong Kong Funeral Home. A decade later, in September 2006, we joined the Jerrett family of funeral homes as Kane-Jerrett Funeral Home – Vaughan Chapel. In October, 2016, we became the Jerrett Life Celebration Centre and continue to evolve to meet the needs of the Thornhill community.

Today, Jerrett Life Celebration Centre is an honoured Dignity Memorial® provider. When you choose a Dignity Memorial provider, you receive not only the compassionate care you expect from a locally operated establishment, but also the value you deserve from the largest network of funeral, cremation and memorialization providers.

Ratings & Reviews

Verified Customer Reviews

Since 2005, many of our customers have taken the time to tell us how we did each year via our Voice of the Customer program. Our star ratings and comments from families come directly from these surveys.

"Overall the entire team that we dealt with were great. They really helped make my Dad's service feel special and meaningful. Everyone was so kind and helpful. John Kane even drove my StepMom and myself in his Jaguar as the lead car in the procession to the cemetery as his team advised him that my Dad was a car enthusiast. Special thanks to Karin who we met with to make the arrangements when Dad was brought into their care - she was honest and caring and thorough which helped immensely. Thanks to Glen for his IT help and putting up with the mosquitoes at the cemetery and of course John Kane who has definitely found his calling as a funeral director :) Overall a very good experience and would highly recommend your services and the facilities were very nice as well."

"I felt every aspect of my experience was positive. Actually quite amazing to see the care, and empathy displayed. What stands out is that it was genuine, not something that put on. Top marks go to this Funeral Home. Outstanding care."

"Our family has been using R.S. Kane since my mom passed. I have felt that they 100% put the family's needs first. With my dad's passing, I was thoroughly impressed with the staff, the care they have shown in handling everything from the first phone call to the graveside was hands down amazing. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for what they have done for me. They have made, what could have been a stressful and difficult situation, worry free. This is priceless."
