Featuring Sean McGivern

I have known Sean McGivern since I first started my career as a Funeral Director many moons ago. Originally from Wallaceburg, Sean has been a licensed for over 36 years and has seen many changes in the profession. What makes Sean unique to funeral service is his adaptability. This old dog loves himself some new tricks. Self-improvement is second nature to Sean and he is continually educating and training himself with hopes to continually better himself. Sean also inspires self-improvement and self-sufficiency in others and a great source of inspiration to the team. Sean’s talents and interests include carpentry, technology, graphic design, video editing, handiness and last but certainly not least, embalming and cosmetics. Sean has always beat to his own drum and his underlying philosophy turns traditional embalming theory on its head. Sean’s approach sounds simple enough – to make the person look like the person. Sean’s passion is contagious and I find us all continually inspired by him. We are a better company because of him. Thank you Sean for your dedication to the profession and to the families we serve.
