Scott MacLeod

My brother, Jim, and I are the owners and managers of York Funeral Home, which has been an important part of the Fredericton North community since its establishment in 1979. Following in our father's footsteps, and with many thanks to the families we have served over the years, we have established a good reputation in the Fredericton and surrounding area as a caring family business.

Following graduation from Fredericton High School in 1982, I began my training and apprenticeship as a funeral director, and became a Licensed Funeral Director in 1985. I am currently an active participant in the industry in my role as board member on the New Brunswick Funeral Directors and Embalmers Board. I was further honoured in 2005 by my peers on the New Brunswick Funeral Directors and Embalmers Association, by being nominated to represent New Brunswick on The Funeral Service Association of Canada. I was recently appointed (2006) to chair the national Education Committee. My participation at both provincial and federal levels of the funeral industry assures that the families who have come to trust us continue to receive the highest quality of service, from our family and staff alike.

On a personal level, my strength and support come from my 5 children: Harmony, Doug, Nick, Kayla and Tommy. In my leisure time (when that's possible!), I enjoy my commitment to coaching the St. Thomas University Men's Basketball Team, and one of the many highlights of working with these young men included earning silver at the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association National Tournament in 2004.

I grew up in McAdam, NB. I moved to Fredericton, where I presently reside, in September of 2001 to attend University. I began working at York Funeral Home, as an Administrative Assistant, in January of 2005. While working here I’ve learned the value of living a happy and fulfilled life; while making each day count. Outside of work, I am a part – time Mary Kay Consultant who enjoys being with her friends and watching the occasional scary movie.

Born in West River Station, Pictou Co., NS in 1935. A graduate of Horton Academy of Canada of Acadia University, Wolfville, NS in 1954. Joined the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, working there for 19 years in different Maritime Branches. I met my wife Eleanor at the Charlottetown Branch of the bank.

I resigned the bank in Salisbury, NS and went to Petitcodiac, NB to Armstrong Funeral Home. Later went to Mattatalls Funeral home in Truro, NS for three to four years. My wife and I decided to open a funeral home of our own in 1979 in Fredericton North, NB under the name of York Funeral Home. A few years later opened the Miramichi Valley Funeral Home in New Bandon, NB.

Now that I have retired, the funeral homes are being managed under the direction of James (Jim) and Scott MacLeod (sons).

When we opened the funeral home my wife Eleanor left the bank where she was employed and worked with me as co-owner keeping the office in order as well as myself.
