Baldock Funeral Home will likely be no more in Norfolk.
That’s according to the Bereavement Authority of Ontario CEO Carey Smith.
The BAO launched an investigation after they found financial irregularities in pre-paid funeral and cremations at the business.
This is where someone gives the funeral home money before their passing for the business to hold until they die – at which point that money will be accessed to cover funeral costs.
With the business likely not returning, Smith said it was important for residents to contact them if they have had loved ones scheduled for a funeral and have pre-paid.
This also affects South Coast Funeral and Cremation Alternative which is included in this investigation as it is owned by the same owner as Baldock – Paul Taylor.
