About Us

Basic Funerals and Cremation Choices - Jennett Memorial Centre is located at 152 Bradford Street in Barrie, Ontario. As a Basic Funerals location we offer families affordable options for cremation and burial. We continue to offer more traditional options such as a traditional funeral with visitation, memorial visitations & memorial services, informal memorial gatherings without a service, and graveside services. In addition we specialize in direct cremations & burials without memorialization with optional choices for convenience and aftercare support.

Established in 1936, Jennett Memorial Centre has been assisting families from Barrie and the many surrounding communities such as Alcona, Angus, Anten Mills, Baxter, Churchill, Craighurst, Cookstown, Crown Hill, Dalston, Edgar, Elmvale, Essa, Gilford, Grenfel, Hawkestone, Hillsdale, Horseshoe Valley, Innisfil, Ivy, Lefroy, Midhurst, Minesing, Oro-Medonte, Phelpston, Shanty Bay, Stroud, Thornton & Utopia. We have also served families from other communities in Simcoe County and beyond over the many years that we have been in business.

We are a full service funeral service provider offering visitation rooms, funeral chapel, coffee lounge and after funeral reception facilities with catering available. Our facilities are accessible from a ramped entrance located directly off of the parking area and a main level washroom is also available, equipped with a baby change station. We have spacious parking on-site and free street parking located on John Street. Jennett Memorial Centre has a full selection of caskets, urns and burial vaults and also offer a rental casket option for families who choose to have a traditional funeral followed by cremation.

Pre-planning cremations or burial services in advance has become very common. Pre-arranging your funeral is a wise decision that will assist your family in the future. Jennett Memorial Centre provides complimentary funeral pre-planning for cremation & burial arrangements, allowing people to detail their funeral, cremation & burial wishes. In addition, families wishing to protect the cost of the funeral from inflation may explore our many options for pre-funding their arrangements. One of our licenced funeral directors will explain in detail our pre-payment program. Our approach to pre-planning is to provide the information necessary to make an educated decision, presented in a pressure-free manner. 

We are also affiliated with the Innisfil Funeral Home located at 7910 Yonge Street in Stroud (Innisfil). Feel free to visit the website for their second location by clicking here.

As always, feel free to contact the Jennett Memorial Centre in Barrie should you require additional information. Please also note that a funeral director is available 24 hours should a death occur outside of normal business hours or should you need to speak with someone. Our staff are committed to providing the best care possible, at any time.
