A Culture of Care
Our company culture reflects our owners’ values: respect, compassion, and a personal touch.
What Families Experience
What makes us different isn’t just the services we provide — it’s the way we provide them.
“My father built this business by offering exceptional service on a very wholesome level,” explains Bridget Fetterly. “We continue this mission by guiding people through one of life’s most difficult times with the very best in expertise and loving hand-holding support.”
When our funeral counsellors help families to plan for a traditional or contemporary funeral service, families are free to choose only those services that are meaningful to them and within their financial means. You will never experience pressure.

“Being part of a family business means a lot to me. It’s the personal touch that makes our work more than just a job. Every day, we try to make things a little easier for families, and it’s meaningful because Kane Fetterly has always been built on compassion.”

What Families Say
I am especially grateful to Christian, who assisted me throughout the arrangements. He was thoughtful, well organized, and communicated clearly every step of the way. His kindness and professionalism were truly comforting. If you are contemplating a place for your funeral needs, I recommend Kane Fetterly without any hesitation.
Christian Haentzler is a kind and compassionate man who expertly guided us through the process twice. He was available to us at all times to answer questions and to consult with. Chris was present the days of the funerals and again guided us with gentleness and understanding. He handled the arrangements at the cemetery and accompanied us through that process as well. He is a true professional.
I would highly recommend Kane and Fetterly Funeral Home.
We didn’t have to do anything except mourn for our lost ! EXCELLENT SERVICE
Le salon est chaleureux avec une sensation d'être à la maison. Réconfortant, propre et toute l'équipe est là pour vous et vos proches. Ils sont à l'écoute et vous accompagne tout au long du service.
Je recommande très souvent le salon à des proches qui ont besoin d'être pris en main, des familles qui recherchent un salon funéraire pour les aider à traverser un moment très difficile.
Sur une note professionnelle, étant une employée du cimetière Notre-Dame-des-Neiges, je réfère très souvent des familles chez K&F pour un service exceptionnel de toute l'équipe.
Merci beaucoup à toute l'équipe de Kane & Fetterly!

Since 1965
The Beginnings
In 1965, Thomas Kane sold his funeral home to young entrepreneur, Gary Fetterly.
Gary brought with him not only a strong business sense but also a deep understanding of the funeral profession, having learned the trade from his father, Hugh, who owned two funeral homes in the Montreal area.
Fully aware of the excellent reputation Kane had built over the years, Fetterly was committed to maintaining the same high standard of service for the community. Respecting that legacy, he simply added his own name to the business. Although Kane and Fetterly never worked together, the Kane Fetterly Funeral Home was born.
True to his promise, Fetterly quickly earned a reputation as one of Montreal’s most respected funeral directors, known for his dedication, compassion, and professionalism. After a long illness, he passed away, leaving behind a legacy of care that continues to define the funeral home today.
