Getting to know us

Robert & Monica Jardine
Rob and Monica were married in 1998 at Fenelon Falls United Church. They have 3 teenage children, Abigail, Simon and Noah. Rob and Monica were both employed by Paul Illman until they purchased the Illman-Platten Funeral Home in 2000.  Rob and Monica enjoy spending their summer days near the water in Rosedale on Balsam Lake. They have created some really special memories with their children and extended family and friends.  Rob enjoys his seadoo and likes to get on a four wheeler and explore the KATVA trails. Monica takes time to soak up the sun, read and keep the campfire going during the summer months. Their son, Simon, plays elite baseball, so a lot of time is spent on the road travelling to tournaments, games, and winter indoor training. Noah is equally as busy with basketball, winter baseball training and downhill skiing. Abigail, having just attained her driver's licence, is eager to get on the road and help us out when needed. Apart from a busy family life, Rob and Monica are proud of their achievements within their business. Since 2000, they have been steadily making improvements to the facility annually.  New doors, windows, drapery, furnishings, and focusing on outdoor maintenance and gardening are a big part of their budget. A lot of focus in recent years has been the introduction of technology including screens, crisp audio and building an on-line presence through social media. 

 Non-Licenced Staff

Although not licenced funeral directors, these members of our staff are vitally important toward the operation of our firm. These individuals make it possible for us to professionally coordinate funerals with the quality of service our community has come to expect from us.

Funeral Celebrant

Support Staff

Typically not seen during the funeral, their presence behind the scenes is nonetheless critical to the day-to-day operation of our facilities. Our support staff plays an important role in ensuring our high standard of service. We are proud of their dedication and commitment.
We are pleased to announce that we have a few certified funeral celebrants on staff to meet the needs of families who want a meaningful and spiritual service but who do not want to have a traditional religious ceremony or formal clergy to lead the service. They have been specifically trained to design a service that is completely personal, incorporating those unique stories, songs and experiences that define your family member`s life.

We invite you to reflect on what having a celebration of life is all about. Think about what could be said about your family member in order to bring closure to remaining family and friends.

We have all heard "just cremate me, no service please". To us, having a service with a celebrant is giving you permission to grieve and laugh at the same time! Enjoy music from Frank Sinatra, Elton John, etc and if you wish, incorporate that music into a presentation that will be watched over and over for years to come.
