A Port Perry heritage

Care that has grown with the community.

Wagg Funeral Home’s story began when John W. Davis built a furniture store at Queen and Perry Streets and also served as one of the town’s undertakers.

Through successive generations and names, the work has remained rooted at the same historic corner. Today, Myles O’Riordan continues that tradition with a team committed to practical guidance and personal attention.
