We would like to congratulate John Laframboise, Director of Community Relations for Arbor Ottawa, who is the recipient of the 2026 Funeral Service Association of Canada (FSAC) Award of Merit.

John’s career reflects an extraordinary commitment to compassion, professionalism, leadership, and community service. For more than 55 years, he has dedicated his life to supporting families through some of life’s most difficult moments, beginning in funeral service in 1971 and advancing from entry-level roles to senior leadership. Throughout his career, John has become known not only for excellence in service, but also for mentorship, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the families and communities he has served.

We invite you to view John’s acceptance message and join us in congratulating him on this well-deserved honour.

What happens after the service is complete?

For many families, this time brings more responsibilities including paperwork, legal steps, and unanswered questions—often while they're still navigating grief.

The process of settling a loved one’s affairs extends beyond the memorial, and the support you receive should as well.

Our Aftercare & Estate Settlement Support is designed to help guide you through what comes next:
- Assistance with important documents and estate-related tasks
- Support in understanding and navigating complex next steps
- Ongoing care, so you don’t have to manage it all on your own

For us, compassionate care goes beyond the service. It means being there in the moments that follow, with guidance you can rely on.

May is Asian Heritage Month, a time to honour the rich heritage, histories, and contributions of Asian communities across Canada.

From art and cuisine to innovation and leadership, Asian Canadians have played a vital role in shaping the vibrant, diverse country we call home. This month is an opportunity for Canadians to learn, reflect, and celebrate these stories and achievements.

From observing Ching Ming traditions and exploring Arbor's Chinese gardens to remembering Filipino lives and legacy during Undas, join us in experiencing the diversity and unique perspectives that strengthen our communities every day.
