Jamie Rheault, Owner - Funeral Director

I Graduated from Funeral Services in 2001 at Boreal College in Sudbury, Ontario. Following school I worked in the Nation’s Capital with the McGarry Family Funeral Chapels. With this very reputable firm I was able to learn the highest level of Funeral Services practices. In 2009 my wife Carine and I were able to realize one of our longtime cherished dreams, to own our own Funeral Home. We purchased Irvine & Irvine Funeral Homes. We are happy to belong to the Northern Ontario community. To express my recognition to the people, I belong to different local organizations in the area. I am also highly dedicated to Funeral services. I take pride in being involved in different professional association’s trough out the country. I also believe in constant education in different aspects of my life.  It gives me the chance to enhance my abilities to serve better the families requesting our services. I am committed to give every family respect, compassion and professionalism.

Carine Deschênes, Owner -Funeral Director

In 1999 I graduated from Rosemont College in Montreal in Thanatology. Subsequently, I worked for 10 years at the Funeral Home of Saguenay, the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Quebec. Through these years, I had the privilege of accompanying persons for the funeral arrangements following the death of a loved one or to plan ahead and to restore dignity to the deceased. In addition, I studied part time at the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi in order to get my certificate in psychology. Following the meeting of my husband Jamie, both being in the business, we had the dream to have our own funeral business. In 2009 we had the opportunity to buy the Irvine & Irvine Funeral Home Ltd.. That same year I got my license funeral director in Ontario. I have the desire to want to get involved in my community, I constantly renew my education and my support, my experience with the bereaved families.
