We don’t think a family should have to choose between a retail storefront office and a massive corporate price tag. We are 100% independent and local family-operated, provide a beautiful chapel setting and full administrative support for less than the alternative discounters.
High-quality care is finally the affordable choice in Barrie at Legacy Funeral and Cremation Services.

💖 October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month 💖

October 15 marks Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.

1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss.

Behind that statistic are families carrying an unimaginable, often silent heartache. We remember the babies who were gone too soon, honour the parents who hold them forever in their hearts, and stand with everyone walking through the journey of grief.

You are not alone. Your baby is not forgotten. Your story matters. 💖💙

This month, we are incredibly fortunate to have organizations like Bridget’s Bunnies right here in our community. Founded in memory of baby Bridget, they ensure that no family faces this pain without support, providing comfort kits to grieving parents across our region.

There are two powerful ways to show your support, remember these precious lives, and help break the silence this month:

🕯️ INTERNATIONAL WAVE OF LIGHT — October 15

On Thursday, October 15, you are invited to join the global Wave of Light.

At 7:00 PM local time, light a candle and leave it burning for one hour. Together, we will create a continuous wave of light across the globe in loving memory of all the babies gone too soon. 💖💙

👟 9th ANNUAL BRIDGET’S RUN — October 17

Let’s run, walk, or hop together! 🐰

Join the community on Saturday, October 17 at 10:00 AM at Centennial Beach Park in Barrie, or participate virtually from wherever you are.

This beautiful 1km/5km charity event raises funds for vital local crisis support, helping parents heal while honoring the babies we hold in our hearts.

Head over to the official Bridget’s Run Race Roster page to register, donate, or volunteer.

No matter how you choose to participate, your presence helps build a chorus of compassion that wraps around grieving families when they need it most. ❤️

🕯️💖 Remembering every baby. Honouring every family. Breaking the silence. 💖🕯️

🧸 You won't find any viral "Little Mortician" toy hearses in our lobby... but you will find this!

When families visit us at Legacy Funeral and Cremation Services, one of the most frequent and heartfelt questions we get is: "Should we bring the children?"

Our natural instinct is often to shield kids from sadness. However, grief experts agree that including children in services is a vital step in their healing journey. When we leave them out, their big imaginations can sometimes fill in the blanks with things that are far scarier than reality.

Being part of a service helps children:
🕊️ Process reality: It helps them understand loss in a safe, supportive environment.
🫂 Feel included: Seeing that adults have big feelings too teaches them that sad emotions are completely normal.
📝 Process their feelings: It offers a meaningful space to say their final goodbyes alongside the people who love them.

We always recommend giving children a choice rather than forcing them. If they want to be involved, you can give them a low-pressure role like placing a drawing in the casket, handing out memorial programs, or helping pick a favorite song.

We intentionally designed our facility to be welcoming for every generation. Whether they need a comfortable place to sit with family or a quiet spot to play at our children's table, we are here to support your entire family through life's toughest moments.

If you have questions about helping a child navigate grief or want to learn more about our family-centered services, we are available 24/7.

📞 Call us anytime at 705-728-8282
