MacLean Funeral Home was founded in the early 1920's by N.D. MacLean who became a leader in funeral service on Prince Edward Island.

Situated on Ole King Square, the funeral home is only minutes away from Province House, the Confederation Centre of the Arts and the beautiful waterfront that is so much a part of the charm of Prince Edward Island's capital city.

MacLean's long-standing history of tradition serves as a testament to the services that have been provided to families for almost 80 years. Throughout the years many challenges have been overcome, perhaps the most devastating being a fire, which completely destroyed the funeral home in January of 1974. 

Our Building

The existing structure was completely renovated and re-dedicated in 1994. This modern facility provides a formal chapel, three visitation rooms, lounge areas, selection room, arrangement offices and business offices. MacLean's is pleased to also offer an inviting reception room complete with full kitchen facilities. This tearoom has been used by a number of families who wish to gather with friends and loved ones after a service.

In every profession there are only a few who rise above the commonplace to a level of distinction - for these individuals, only the highest professional standards exist.  Each detail must contribute to the overall perfection of the service. We are proud of our history in the province and remain committed to providing the highest standards of service to the families that we serve.
