Considerate Cremation & Burial Services Inc.

Considerate Cremation & Burial Services Inc. A unique service providing a caring, cost-effective alternative to traditional funeral homes. Typical savings of 30-50% vs. traditional funeral providers.

Fully accessible and comfortable facility with parking at the door. This business represents our combined hopes and dreams of the ability to serve families the way that they want to be served when they need assistance when someone has died. Considerate Cremation & Burial Services prices are very affordable – but that doesn’t mean they’re out to cut corners when it comes to service. As independent

owners/operators and funeral service providers Holly & Bruce can take care of any burial or cremation request including green burial options. The dictionary defines “considerate” as “showing kindly awareness or regard for another’s feelings and circumstances” and that’s why it’s such a fitting name for their establishment. While Considerate Cremation & Burial Services offer a wide variety of flexible options for considerably less than a traditional funeral home, there is no sacrifice of quality or professionalism. Considerate Cremation & Burial Services is the long time dream of its owners and licensed funeral directors Holly Ann Prince-Jensen & Bruce Keating McClelland. Their story began in 1988 at a restaurant called Eddy’s In Old Port in Port Dalhousie where they met while working. Both later headed off to college together to pursue careers as funeral directors and their friendship strengthened throughout their college years. After graduation, their career paths widened to pursue their professional lives. Holly stayed in Niagara while Bruce moved to Peterborough. They stayed in touch and often spoke of the pact they made in school – if they were able to open their own place & work together in their own location they would see it through. Considerate Cremation & Burial Services is the realization of their dream. Over their many years of experience in the funeral industry Holly & Bruce became aware of the changing needs expressed by families. They wanted to make the memorial as unique as the person who had passed away. A growing number of families are opting for lower cost service options and simple, yet personalized, ceremonies. The creation of Considerate Cremation & Burial Services is the result of Holly and Bruce’s combined 48 years, listening and responding to what families desire while serving families needs. Holly & Bruce will serve families in need with warmth, empathy and the pinnacle of professionalism. Providing personalized service to meet your basic to traditional needs.

MOWER, Joseph Marcus “Joe”
April 27, 1946 - July 24, 2026

It is with great love and sadness we announce the passing of our cousin, Joseph Marcus Mower, on Friday at 80 years of age.

He left knowing how loved he was especially by his cousins, Cally Ainsworth and Gwen Charron. Joe leaves behind his beloved, nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by his mother, Verla, (1987) and his brother, Grant “Skeeter”, (1975).

As a young boy Joe lived in Port Dalhousie and enjoyed his days at Lakeside Park. He was a lifelong sports enthusiast. As a youngster he played lacrosse, hockey and became the QB for the St. Catharines Saints football team.

He never missed a game of the Buffalo Bills or Blue Jays; while a devoted fan he had a soft spot for the New York Yankees and thoroughly enjoyed watching Women’s Golf and horse racing. Joe enjoyed working outdoors, laying sod or interlocking brick driveways. Travelling with friends to Playa del Carmen was an adventure he loved. Meeting the Mexican people and enjoying their culture.

The family extend their deepest gratitude to NHS-St. Catharines Site - 4th Floor A -Heather and all of the nurses, doctors that provided compassionate care, kindness and dignity brought comfort to Joe.

In honouring Joe’s wishes private family arrangements have been made. Memorial donations to Humane Society of Greater Niagara would be appreciated. https://donate.mytributegift.org/?cid=a33ffd6e8f5df6c760042a605ea56a67347d21f589b68a46be0fb0a404e5adae&fh=FRP-308918&fp=3089186b5c6c0632d102cc0b9fbb841d8e

NICOL, Ronald Alexander
1941 - 2026

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Ronald Alexander Nicol at the NHS-St. Catharines Site on Sunday, July 19th, 2026, , in his 85th year.

Ron will be greatly missed by his beloved wife, Eileen, of 63 years, and his two loving daughters, Sheryl (Kerry) McRoberts and Rhonda Brown. He was predeceased by his parents, Margaret Hipwell (2010) and Alexander Nicol (1954), as and by his sweet, beloved granddaughter, Riley Quait (2001).

He was the oldest sibling of seven: Norman (Terry), Allen (Pat), Doug (Wendy), Randy, Danny, and Sandra. His memory will be forever cherished by his dear grandchildren: Shae, Chelsea, Karissa, while not forgetting Damen and Julia, and his great-grandchildren, Eames and Charlotte. He will also be fondly remembered by many caring in-laws, nephews, nieces and extended family. Many thanks to a very special nephew, Stephen, and family who have been at his side throughout his declining health.

Throughout the years, Ron and Eileen shared a love for adventure, enjoying a multitude of travelling and camping experiences, always looking forward to their social gathering with the "Friday Nighters." Along the way he became affectionately nicknamed “RIPPIN RONNIE”. Following his retirement from General Motors, they became snowbirds, spending their winters at a special park in Bonita Springs, Florida, where they built an amazing community of friends and actively enjoyed many of the events at the park during their time there.

Above all, Ron’s main passion was his woodcarving club. He mastered incredible skills over the years, creating beautifully finished pieces that anyone would be proud to display and his family will forever cherish.

He is now at peace. We take comfort in knowing that his many close "buddies" who passed before him are welcoming him with open arms and a glass of cheer!

Our family would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the EMS responders and the professional, compassionate care team at the Niagara Health System during his final hours.

With love, farewell “Rippin Ronnie”, til we meet again. ❤️

In honouring Ron’s wishes private family arrangements have been made. Memorial donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

CONNORS JANZEN, Cassandra

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Loving Memory of Cassandra “Cassie” Connors Janzen.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Cassandra “Cassie” Connors Janzen on July 20, 2026, at the age of 37.

Cassie was the beloved daughter of Sandy Prosser and stepfather, Dave Prosser. She was predeceased by her father, Wayne Connors. Adored by her grandparents, Herman and Linda Janzen. She was a cherished sister of Owen, Donnie, Colin, Shari, Leslie, Sean, Jennifer; she was a much-loved daughter, sister, family member and friend.

Cassie was a bright light in the lives of so many. She was a beautiful soul with a free spirit, a brilliant mind and a heart full of compassion - especially for animals. Her intelligence, warmth, sense of humour and caring nature touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She lived life in her own unique way and left an unforgettable mark on those she loved.

Though her life was far too short, the love she gave and the memories she created will remain in the hearts of her family and friends forever. She will be deeply missed, forever loved and never forgotten.

In honour of Cassie’s lifelong love of animals, the family kindly requests that, in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made to the Humane Society of Greater Niagara.

KNIGHT, Gary Douglas

On July 16, 2026, Gary slipped away, just as he lived his life, with peace. Beloved husband, friend, co-parent and all-around partner-in-crime of Brenda for well over 40 years. Cherished father of Kyle (Courtney) and Abby. His children were his greatest achievement. His love for them all consuming. They were and still are his true north. Silly, teasing Bumpa of Ryleigh, Ethan and Liam. He built the best Lego castles, all mighty tree forts and took pride in having the best decorated house on Halloween with completely hand made decorations. Always ready with a silly joke and a loving heart, he will be forever missed by all. Gary was a gentle soul and a wonderful man. Our loss is immeasurable.

Besides his wife and children, Gary is also survived by his grandchildren Ryleigh, Ethan and Liam. Brother and best buddy, Louis and his wife Barbie. Nieces Brittney, Devon, Naomi and Andrea. Eldest brother Edwin and his wife Irene.

Reunited with his father Charles, mother, Alice, nephew, Justin, along with many fur babies in heaven.

There will be a celebration of life at a later date. Memorial donations to the charity of one’s choice would be appreciated.
