Owned and operated by brothers, Rob and Scott Giddy, previously owned and operated by their parents, Graham and Janet Giddy, since 1981. This historic Fergus funeral home dates its origin to the village of Belwood (Douglas) in the mid 1800’s as the undertaking business of Mr. Onslow Jupp. It is unclear how long Mr. Jupp had served the thriving community of Belwood prior to the arrival of the Credit Valley Railroad in the mid 1870's. The business exchanged hands from Mr. Jupp to Mr. Elum Hanna sometime between then and 1912 when the business passed hands again to a Mr. Joe Johnston.
