Licensed Funeral Director, Owner
Taylor began working in a funeral home during high school and quickly realized that helping families in this way is exactly what he wanted to do with his life. Taylor then attended Humber College, graduating from the Funeral Services Education Program in 1998.. After 12 years of working for large and small funeral homes, Taylor discovered Bruce County and all it had to offer his young family. In August of 2009 Taylor purchased the W. Kent Milroy Funeral Homes in Port Elgin and Paisley, and then the Tannahill Funeral Home, Owen Sound, in 2015, and the Breckenridge-Ashcroft Funeral Home, Owen Sound, in 2016. Taylor, and his family, Melanie, son Taryn, twins Tryston and Taytum, and "baby" Truu, make their home in Paisley.
