McBurney Funeral Home
35 Patrick St W, Box 61 N0G 2W0 Wingham, ON, Canada

Here are the up to date funeral guidelines for Ontario as of March 28, 2020. We understand these rules make it difficult for you to share your grief in a traditional way. We will do whatever we can to help you plan at need services that fall within these guidelines as well as plan for the future when we can hold public gatherings. Please continue to stay healthy, safe and do your part. If you have any questions at all, please call the funeral home at any time. 519-357-1170.

For those who have suffered miscarriages, stillbirths or the loss of a baby at any stage...the pregnancy and infant loss network (PAIL) is holding a support group in Wingham.

As of June 9, 2020 the number of people allowed to attend funerals, visitations or burials is still at 10 max. and this number is set by the BAO for all funeral homes and cemeteries in Ontario. The directive applies regardless of the location of the services (ie. funeral home, graveside, church, event centre, private club, etc.) and despite the fact that there have been some restrictions lifted in regards to places of worship holding church services (not funerals) and the '30% capacity rule'.

Grief doesn’t end after the funeral and grief isn’t limited to those who have had a loved one pass away. If you’re looking for some support, Huron Hospice is putting on a 8 week workshop with two available locations for our area. Please feel free to share with anyone you think may benefit from this.
