Founded in 1928, Ettinger Funeral Home has been providing personal, friendly and professional care to the families of Shubenacadie and surrounding areas for many years. Ernest Ettinger, a carpenter by trade, started the business after apprenticing under John Logan, the local funeral director at the time. Mr. Ettinger’s son, J. Albert Ettinger, continued the family tradition of providing excellent service to the communities he served. Ettinger's was the first funeral home in Nova Scotia to offer limousine service to its families. After selling the business in 1980, Albert assisted our current managing director, Alan MacLeod, Sr., with funerals on a part-time basis until 2005. We strive to meet the standards of service that Albert and his father set years ago. Our strong reputation has made us the place that families turn to in their time of need.
