Flags for our Heroes

The Cooperative Funeral Home, 222 Lasalle Blvd. E. is setting up a special place of honour for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan.

Part of the mission in Afghanistan is to protect the rights of individuals, especially women and children. "In Canada, we take our freedom for granted, whereas in parts of the world freedom is a privilege for the few, not the many", says Daniel Johnston. "The Flags of Our Heroes are dedicated to the men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice, as well as for those serving in Afghanistan, and they will not be taken down until all of our troops are safe at home when the mission ends", says Daniel Johnston.

There are two other firms joining us in this demonstration of support for our troops. It is thought that these are the only three funeral homes in Canada to have done this and hoped many of the other independent funeral homes will follow suit. A short dedication ceremony was held to launch the Flags of Our Heroes, on December 7, 2009 at 3pm.

The Cooperative Funeral Home is a local institution that began operation in 1953 to serve the Sudbury & area. We welcome people of all faiths and particularly those who share our belief that we must "Celebrate Life".
