What Makes Us Different

Experience: We are owned and operated by John Cunningham, who has been a Licensed Funeral Director for 25+ years. Beginning with his great-grandfather, Louis Nicholas Phippen, John's family has provided funeral services for the people of Ontario for four generations.

Locally Owned and Operated: We are not owned by a multinational funeral conglomerate. All decisions are made at the community level and we are able to respond to local needs and conditions immediately. Our caskets are manufactured locally, and we strive to support and promote many of the quality businesses in our Peterborough community.

No Commissioned Sales People: Making funeral arrangements can be stressful enough. At Community Alternative, we are committed to helping families select the services they want without any sales pressures. We encourage you to research funeral home costs and services before you make any decisions. To assist you with your research, we offer our complete price list on our web site, you may obtain a copy at our location, or we would be pleased to mail you information.
