The Ross Funeral Chapel, formerly the George Funeral Home, has provided dedicated service to the families of Port Hope and the surrounding communities from the same Walton St. location since 1864.

Ross Funeral Chapel Ltd is announcing a new chapter in its history.

Effective immediately, Ross Funeral Chapel has been acquired by Rushnell Funeral Homes.

CONTINUITY OF CARE

All existing files, including pre-arranged/ pre-financed funeral plans, will be securely and respectfully transferred to Rushnell Funeral Homes 103 Mill St. N. Port Hope, L1A 2T3. There will be no disruption in services, and we want to assure everyone that all arrangements made through Ross Funeral Chapel will be fully honoured. If any individuals wish to review or make changes to their existing pre-arrangements, they are invited to contact Rushnell Funeral Homes directly at 905-885-4931 to discuss their options.

A NOTE OF THANKS FROM THE ROSS FAMILY

Rushnell Funeral Homes have approached me on numerous occasions over the years to purchase the business, and after much consideration, I have decided to accept their offer. It comes with heartfelt gratitude for the generations of families who have placed their trust in our firm.

Funeral service has been the focus of my entire life and it has been a privilege to carry on a family tradition which began with my grandparents Wilf and Mary, continued by my parents Craig and MaryAnn and for a time with my brother Adam.

As I mark this transition, we would like to extend our deepest and most sincere thanks to the families we’ve served. Your trust, care and unwavering support over these many years have meant more than words can express.

Serving this community has been one of the greatest privileges of our lives and we will always appreciate the trust you placed in us.

Though this chapter in our lives is coming to a close, our hearts remain with the families we’ve served and the community we’ve been proud to call home.

With gratitude and love,

Jamieson Ross
