THOROLD — It’s a facility that allows
families to remember their loved ones in
a very personal way.
And the new 1,710-square-metre
funeral and reception centre at
Pleasantview Memorial Gardens can
take care of every detail of funeral ser¬
vices — from an initial meeting with the
family to the final resting place.
Pleasant manager Paul Scanlan is
impressed with the privately-run facility.
