  Mr. Edwin E. Cousins The
tradition of the Haycock-Cavanagh Funeral Home
began in 1920 when Edwin E. Cousins and Orrin Burlingham began a
furniture and undertaking business. Mr.
Burlingham retired in 1938 with Mr. Cousins continuing until 1946
when Hank Haycock moved to Wallaceburg from Ingersoll, after the
war, to form a partnership with Sam Douglas. Mr. Douglas eventually
moved on to furniture manufacturing.
 Ralph Morin "Hank" Haycock in 1941  Douglas Haycock Home for Funerals on James Street Mr. Haycock changed the undertaking business from a
store front location to a "Home for Funerals" which was a house
located where the Bank of Nova Scotia is today. In 1952, that
location moved to the present one level location on at the corners
of Nelson & Elgin Streets. It was the first building built as a
funeral home in the Lambton-Kent area.
 The Cavanagh Family purchased the business in 1983.
Since then, Michael, Patricia and Kevin have channeled their efforts
into creating a facility that Wallaceburg could be proud of with
it's warm, bright, homelike atmosphere and quality of service.
