What began as an affection some 35 years ago continues today
with the commitment to service made by our professional staff
at Rod Abrams Funeral Home Ltd.
In 1965 Rod Abrams apprenticed with Turner & Porter funeral
directors in Toronto and received his Funeral Directors license
in 1966 after graduating from the Canadian School of Embalming,
in Toronto, Ontario. Rod continued employment with Turner and
Porter until 1973 when Rod and his wife Susan purchased the
Anderson Funeral Home, in Tottenham, Rod's hometown. 
Rod and Susan have two sons, Todd who resides in Dallas, Texas
and works in the funeral service industry providing technology
based solutions to funeral directors, and Scott who is actively
involved in the family business since receiving his Funeral
Directors license from Humber College in 1998.
All the staff of Rod Abrams Funeral Home are originally from
the Tottenham, Alliston area and are actively involved in the
communities.
In January of 1988 Rod and Susan completed the new 13,000 square
foot building they now occupy, overlooking the Nottawasaga Valley
Conservation Area. The Funeral Home is built on 12 acres of
land, into the side of a hill with a large parking lot able
to accommodate up to 100 cars on funeral day. The spacious chapel
can seat 125 people comfortably with a balcony that can accomodate
20 people along with the family room for up to 35 additional.
Adjoining the chapel is an overflow area that has seating for
approximately 70. This room also doubles as another visitation
room. At the north and west area of the funeral home is a large
receiving visitation room that can also be divided for use by
two families. The large selection room is below the arrangement
office and can accommodate 18 caskets. Our building is handicap
accessible with all rooms for visitation and funeral services
as well as washroom facilities on the main floor.
The funeral home staff works closely with the area clergy who
provide counseling as well as educational workshops. Tours of
the funeral home are encouraged for students, health care workers,
clergy as well as the general public. Price lists are provided
outlining services as well as an explanation of the various
costing for products and those services upon request.
Rod and Sue Abrams are the sole proprietors of the business,
and are members of the Ontario Funeral Service Association,
Canadian Independent,
Funeral Service Association of Canada, Canadian Independent
and the Georgian Bay Funeral Service Association as well as
the Tottenham & District Chamber of Commerce.
Over the years Rod Abrams Funeral Home Ltd. has always strived
to provide dignified and compassionate service to the many families
who call upon us. Our commitment is also reflected in our support
of various organizations and activities throughout the New Tecumseth
region and surrounding areas, including church and community
groups, seniors groups, schools, local sports teams, events
