About Trent Cremation Services

Trent Cremation Services Inc. is a locally owned service based in Peterborough, Ontario and managed by Michael D. Emery, a licensed Funeral Director. Mike has served Peterborough, Lindsay, Lakefield and surrounding areas since he became a Funeral Director in 1966. He is a caring, dedicated professional known for his ability to understand the needs of those in his trust. We have been fortunate to have Mike as the Manager of Trent Cremation Services since 2004.

We operate as a "Transfer Service" licensed by the Ontario Board of Funeral Services. As a "Transfer Service" we specialize in low cost cremation and burial services as an alternative to the traditional funerals offered by most funeral homes. We also offer affordable products such as urns and caskets.

Trent Cremation Services is a cooperating provider for the Funeral Advisory and Memorial Society and member of Guaranteed Funeral Deposits of Canada (Fraternal).

Why Choose Trent Cremation Services

We maintain that cost should not dictate the quality of care and amount of personal service you and your family receives. We are able to offer caring, compassionate and professional services while remaining economical.

We keep our overhead low so that we can provide our services to you at a reduced cost. Trent Cremation Services is not a large corporation; we don't operate out of an elaborate facility or have a fleet of vehicles and a team of commissioned sales staff. This allows us to pass on these savings to you and your family.

We are a small, locally owned company whose manager has over 40 years experience in the funeral industry. At Trent Cremation Services we will:

  • relieve you and your loved ones of unnecessary financial burdens by providing you with an economical alternative to a high cost traditional funeral
