Shawn Davidson owns and manages Carruthers and Davidson Funeral Home and its multiple locations in and around Wasaga Beach, Ont. Today, Gaudio says the profit in the business comes from service charges, including renting out the space in a funeral home for a service, or having staff help with any memorials or events.Having spent 32 years in the industry, Gaudio has worked under both a corporate structure, where one single entity owns several funeral homes and cemeteries, and with homes with independent owners.
"I have a salary, so there's no motivation to push anything on people who come in," Gaudio said, adding that most funeral directors understand it's tough for people to spend large amounts of money for what's essentially a one-time usage. It's part of an evolution for Davidson and Gaudio – one that any industry deals with – where those who are in it have to adapt to changing times.
