Meteghan Funeral Home is Celebrating a Milestone Anniversary
Our Managing Director, Emmanuel d'Entremont is Marking 35 Years of Service
Emmanuel joined Meteghan Funeral Home in October of 1991; he had wished to have a career in the funeral profession since being in high school. For some funeral directors, the desire to serve in this capacity starts at a young age, and this was definitely the case with Emmanuel.
He was unable to work at the funeral home initially following his high school graduation as there were no openings, but the opportunity presented itself a few years later. For Emmanuel, working at Meteghan’s met two personal goals, to work locally and to be part of the funeral profession. He would begin his apprenticeship and become fully licensed as a Funeral Director and Embalmer in 1994, after completing studies at Kingstec Community College.
Anyone who knows Emmanuel, knows his soft spoken and kind ways. He’s always available to help in any way he can and he truly cares about the families he supports at what often is a difficult time. As Meteghan’s Managing Funeral Director, he fosters a team approach, mentoring colleagues, providing practical advice when needed and providing education on best practices within the funeral profession.
For Emmanuel, his focus when providing funeral services centres on a number of key principles:
• efforts are always made to ensure that the family of the deceased is served with compassionate care
• when giving any information, the goal is transparency without any influencing or leading
• the character of the deceased is always respected; this is a time of honouring them
• small details are the fabric of making a life special and tending to each of these details is necessary
Over the years, Emmanuel has supported countless families in Clare Township. And, as a community partner he has gained considerable respect. In his words: “We’re a small community and I am well-known as one of the local morticians.” … a role he acknowledges and fulfills with the utmost professionalism.
Two key aspects that have resulted in Emmanuel's longevity at Meteghan Funeral Home are, his care for our community and his respect for the principles and ethics that are learned in the funeral profession. Simply stated, he is a natural fit for the career he has chosen.
Congratulations Emmanuel on 35 years service. On behalf of our team at Meteghan’s, thank you for your devotion to the funeral profession and our community!
