The Alan R. Barker Funeral Home is part of a Carleton Place and area tradition with roots dating back to 1875. In 1875 Jacob Leslie started a funeral business on Bridge Street beside the present day St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. The Leslie business was continued by Jacob's son George Leslie in 1892 until its sale to W.H. Matthews in 1919.

Emma, a note of thanks for your help in guiding us through our cemetery and funeral decisions and arrangements. The process went much better than we imagined.
