MacKinnon and Bowes have a proud history of embalming and the care and preparation of remains. It has been a cornerstone of their collective success. As industry leaders, they have the notable distinction as the very first Funeral providers in Canada to provide full service embalming and preparation for those persons that died with AIDS. During the SARS crisis in Canada they were again front and center with solutions to care for and handle those persons that tragically succumbed to the disease.
Allan Cole has lectured throughout Canada to funeral directors and embalmers regarding the handling of remains of individuals who died with or from a communicable disease. Additionally he co-authored the recommended guidelines for the Ontario Board of Funeral Services on the implementation of universal precautions for transfers and the operating rooms of Funeral Homes. Being innovative leaders in this field has earned MacKinnon & Bowes the distinction of being a source of information and direction for professional standards and methods of practice.
