The former location of MacKimmie’s Funeral Home in Lachute is now just a memory. The building on rue Principale where the long-time business was located was recently demolished for redevelopment.
The J.P. MacKimmie Funeral Home closed in 2017 after 157 years of serving the community. At that time, the fifth-generation family business was owned by Richard MacKimmie and his sister, Bonnie.
The business was founded by the McNabb family in 1850 and purchased by the MacKimmie family in 1860.
