The Elgin OGS has now posted indexes online for several of the Elgin County Funeral Homes.
Elgin OGS has records from various funeral homes and undertakers throughout Elgin County in their holdings.
We can provide an extraction of genealogical information from these records, which will not include the cause of death or any financial details.
The extent and type of information varies with each funeral home. The usual information expected would be date of death, date of burial, age, date of birth, place of birth and death, place of burial and sometimes parents’ names and names of survivors.
The funeral homes / undertakers records from which we can provide lookups are:
Atkinson, Hughson & Kebbel, Aylmer -
Evenden Funeral Home, St. Thomas (c1873-1880 -
George A. Allen, Aylmer (1920-1950) -
Moedinger Funeral Home, Sparta (c1899-1911) -
P. R. Williams Funeral Home (1893 - 1910) -

While I find the subject of Elgin county history fascinating, I must sheepishly admit that this comment is nothing more than an attempt to reach one Jim McCallum.
Mr. McCallum (if this is indeed the same Jim McCallum), I recently stumbled upon a thread in a genealogy forum in which you and one Mr. Schultz were discussing tracking down descendants of Daniel Zimmerman and Margaret Lindsay. I am one of them. Daniel and Margaret's youngest son, Josiah Abraham, was my great-great grandfather.
If this is you and what I've just revealed has piqued your curiosity, drop me a line. I'd love to swap information and share some things with you that I've discovered about my particular branch of the Zimmerman clan.
