Scott Marlatt assumed ownership of both funeral homes after his father, J.D., died in 1973. In 1985, Scott sold the Dundas and Hamilton funeral homes, and in 2006, both Marlatt funeral homes became part of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral, cremation and cemetery providers. Our name changed to Marlatt Funeral Home & Cremation Centre, Swackhamer Chapel when we absorbed the Swackhamer Blanchford & Wray Funeral Home in Hamilton in 2009.

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.
"I was treated kindly, with dignity, and my questions were answered promptly and completely. Pricing quoted to my uncle and then me was consistent and fair. I wasn't able to be there for my father's interment due to COVID-19, a closed border between the United States and Canada for most travel, and a 14 day quarantine once in Ontario. That is why I couldn't comment about the day of interment being personal and unique. My uncle and his son did witness the interment and were treated very kindly. Rebecca even took a picture of them so that it could be sent to me along with the other pictures my uncle took of the interment that day. In addition, my uncle was provided with some proof of death certificates in case he needed them."

"Marlatt staff provided an excellent service and were very professional during the whole process. We did not have a service mostly because of COVID but all areas that we had to deal with staff were done very thoroughly to our satisfaction."

"This was a prepaid and pre arranged funeral for my father. This was the first time I have done this. The help with the paperwork has proven to be very very helpful. With all the other administrative duties I have had to do as far as getting my mothers situation resolved the completion of the government forms for my father was a big help."
