John Gately the father and son as well as Fred and all their team have made us all (a large dynamic family who just lost our greatest gift, our father, to a tragedy) so comforted by their great work. John was not just the funeral director, he was a friend of my father. We are so grateful for the excellent service they all provided us. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else like I would them, they are simply the best. ❤️🙏 thank you so much John, John and Fred.

I would like to thank everyone at the Gately Funeral home for their professionalism and kindness during the wake and funeral for my dear friend Eileen Stewart.
At sad times like this it meant so much to have very caring people like the Gately employees. God bless you.
