Donohue Funeral home was founded in 1930 by John T. and Helen M. Donohue making it the oldest family owned and operated funeral establishment in London, Ontario. In 1952 the funeral home was relocated to its present location on the southeast corner of Waterloo Street and King Street. John T. and Helen's son J. Dennis entered into the family business in 1961 and became president upon the death of his father in 1966.
