McKinlay Funeral Home

Huge thank you to the individuals that we dealt with directly, including Nathan, Daniel Ouimette & Barbara. We are grateful for the truly inclusive 5 star service provided to us by McKinlay Funeral Home in Chatham. The loss of a loved one is challenging both emotionally & mentally. The professional, knowledgeable & seamless service that Nathan & his team offered, significantly simplified our process at the difficult time. We have much gratitude for the heart felt words spoken by Daniel at the service of our loved one. Thank you to Barbara for simplifying the paperwork requirements. Thank you to the entire team at McKinlay from our family ! We highly recommend!

Exceptional service from start to finish. The staff is wonderfully caring and compassionate in tending to every minute detail. Nathan and the McKinlay Funeral Home staff made the process very easy and guided our family every step of the way. They were welcoming in allowing us to create a beautiful tribute to our loved one. Our family was grateful for the delicious hot meal provided on site, between the afternoon and evening visitation. I commend Nathan and his staff for making sure that everything went as smoothly as possible given the circumstances. Your knowledge and expertise helped make the whole experience beautiful and not so overwhelming.

I heard a lot of horror stories from friends and family when I was asking around for advice in helping my dad plan his funeral. I was told to expect aggressive up-selling and guilt-selling. My experience with McKinlay was the total opposite. The planning experience was easy, transparent, and pressure free. Nathan and his team helped me deliver the funeral my dad wanted. Thank you.

I highly recommend this funeral home. Their professionalism and compassionate assistance is what I needed as well as the rest of my family. The reception hall was ideal as much of the family was from out of town; they did a wonderful job on the reception after the service as well as the evening meal, and members of my family were quite impressed. Their attention to detail, their demeanor in greeting people in such a situation as well as advice guiding much of the paperwork surrounding the funeral was much appreciated as they were able to carry out my mother's wishes and continued to assist afterwards. Thank you very much.

Never too late to say how much we appreciate the kindness ,the caring , the help that we have experienced from McKinley Furneral Home in Chatham. My son's death 2017/04/28. to say traumatic is too soft a word. One minute he is alive the next..dead ! Mckinley's were there for us through all the sobbing and the tears . Helping through a MOST difficult definitely unexpected calamity. My husband and I highly recommend Mckinley's Funeral Home.

One of the worst expierences I have ever had! I would not wish what I have endured on anyone at such a sad difficult traumatic time in life. I would NEVER recommend this funeral home to anyone EVER. Two months ago I lost my father suddenly and tragically. He was a District Chief Paramedic he was only 52 and his life was taken. The woman responsible for ruining his life was an EX GF at the time not together not married not common law! And this funeral home let that woman plan my fathers funeral without including his family in the arrangements, didn't put his brothers and sister in the obituary, had the funeral on my grandmothers birthday his mom and on top of being excluded from this my family has had every bit of my father taken away except his body that now lays at rest. It has been 2 months! And because this woman had taken over this funeral I have no access once so ever to a death certificate I AM HIS DAUGHTER and I'm not allowed a DEATH CERTIFICATE !? this funeral home has allowed an EX GF to take everything from me! I cannot apply to be estate trustee, I cannot gain access to anything without a Death certificate. I do not know where or what to do now but for the love of god and your loved ones NEVER use this funeral home!

They were so kind and compassionate with my family. I thank God for them every day.

McKinlay made this process so much easier than my family expected it to be. Very understanding and patient even during a difficult time for my family when tensions were running high. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
