An update from Reid’s

As many of you know, our funeral home was extensively damaged by a fire on September 23. That was a difficult and challenging day but we want you to know we are carrying on and continuing to serve and we have some news to share.

To begin, however, we must first pause to say thank-you! We have been overwhelmed with your calls, notes and posts. The caring of our friends and neighbours and the support of the town and businesses who have been helping us get back on our feet, have made this a much easier journey. We are grateful beyond words and we’ll never forget your kindness.

Funeral Home Damaged By Fire

In the early hours of Thursday, September 23, Reid’s Funeral Home on Main Street in Hampton was extensively damaged in a structure fire.

While the full extent of the damage has not yet been determined, we want to assure our community that there was no harm to anyone resting at the funeral home and urns stored on the premises awaiting burial were rescued. No one resides in the building.

In addition, for those who have services preplanned with Reid’s, your plans are stored electronically and they are safe.

We have been in touch with families currently being served by the funeral home and assured them that we will complete their services. Our team is already at work making certain their needs are met.

We also want you to know that should you require our services in the coming days, we will be here to assist you. As many of you know we also operate funeral homes in two nearby communities and arrangements will be made to appropriately accommodate the needs of Hampton area families. Further details will be made available as soon the situation allows. You may continue to reach us at 506-832-5541.

While it is too soon to say exactly what our next steps will be, we will do our best to keep you informed as the situation evolves. We thank you for your concern and patience as we work through this.

We would like to conclude by thanking the Hampton Fire Department and those from other local communities for their quick and professional response early this morning.

Thank you

Dyson & Melissa Regular
on behalf of the Reid's team.
