Former funeral home now a dental facility
July 14, 2016 · 0 Comments
After 19 years, the Egan Funeral Home has closed its location in Orangeville, the former Baxter & Giles funeral home on Broadway.
Paul Egan said Wednesday the facility closed at the end of June, with the actual sale of the property taking place this week.
He said they are consolidating their operation in the long-established facility in Bolton.
The Bolton site underwent a substantial expansion two years ago, roughly coinciding with the 100th anniversary of serving the community, and he said they believe the family-run operation can better serve the needs of the community from the single location.
Mr. Egan said he had hoped that another funeral home would take it on, but it is going to be a dental facility instead.
He did express appreciation for the support they have received from the Orangeville community over the years.
