ONTARIOFawcett Funeral Homes
For generations, Fawcett Funeral Home has been a trusted presence in Collingwood and the surrounding communities. They believe every life deserves to be honoured in a way that's deeply personal — and when families started asking for nature-based options, they knew AWAKE was the answer.
About Fawcett Funeral Home
Fawcett's team knows Collingwood and Creemore — not just the towns, but the people. The church groups, the volunteer organizations, the service clubs. They're not observers of the community, they're actively part of it.
That warmth and connection shows up in how they work with families. They're forward-thinking and grounded in what matters: honouring each person in a way that feels true to who they were. When families started asking for nature-based options, partnering with Ashes to Earth™ made perfect sense — a solution that was beautiful, proven, and based right here in their own community.

Why we offer Ashes to Earth™
A NOTE FROM FAWCETT FUNERAL HOMES"We have always believed that the most meaningful farewells are the ones that feel true to the person being remembered. When families began asking us about nature-based options, we knew we needed to find a solution that was both beautiful and proven. Ashes to Earth kits gave us exactly that, and the fact that they’re made locally in our area makes us even more proud to offer them to the families we serve."
HOW IT WORKSAshes to Earth™ patented soil science transforms cremated remains into plant-friendly earth. Removing the alkaline toxicity that prevents growth and replacing it with nutrients that help new life flourish.
The result is a living memorial: a tree, a garden, a potted plant — something that grows and changes with the seasons, that you can return to, tend, and share.
