Marshall Driver Cremation and Burial Services by Arbor Memorial proudly provides compassionate care to families in Barrie, Ontario and surrounding communities as those families navigate their end-of-life needs.
“At Marshall Driver, we focus on helping families through challenging times,” says Melody Somerville, Funeral Director. “We provide the community with numerous options for every need and preference to ensure that the chosen service is as personal and meaningful as possible. Our devoted team is here to serve families with immediate needs (at-need) or advanced planning (pre-need).”
She continues, “We're proud to offer you mementos through our partnership with Eternity's Touch. From personalized jewelry to hand-blown glass art, we offer a wide selection of keepsakes to maintain a tangible connection to those we’ve lost. Most pieces across the collections can be personalized with a fingerprint, text, a laser-etched photo, your loved one’s handwriting or cremated remains.”
Marshall Driver is committed to serving families with professional funeral services and as a strong community partner. Somerville explains, “As members of the community, we understand the importance of maintaining a strong connection with our neighbours. We proudly support organizations, events and initiatives that promote community values in the Barrie region. Most recently we participated in the high tea to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee at St. John’s Vianney RC Church. We continuously support various local gatherings, such as the Sunset Speedway and we are members of the Barrie Chamber of Commerce. In Midland we support a local junior hockey team and support many local groups and charities.”
Marshall Driver provides at-need and pre-need services. This means, when a death is unexpected, Marshall Driver has professionals on hand to quickly take care of the funeral or cremation planning with the family. Each professional on the team understands the shock and grief the family is enduring and guides them through the process with compassion.
For those looking to pre-plan a service, Marshall Driver’s funeral professionals are happy to help, ensuring the client’s needs and wishes are heard and respected. Pre-need provides a wonderful gift to those left behind, who can simply come together to support each other without the added need to plan a service.
