The Linklater name first became associated with funeral service in Kincardine in 1929 when G. Harvey Linklater purchased the furniture and funeral business owned by W.G. Morrison, which was located at 726 Queen Street.

1946 -  The Linklaters purchased the residence at 757 Princes Street, and the funeral home has remained at that location ever since.

1961 - The first addition/renovation was made to the building.  At this time, Harvey's two sons, Harold and Ken were actively engaged in the furniture and funeral business.

1965 - Ken Davey, of Kincardine Township (Armow), served his apprenticeship with Harold Linklater, and graduated from The Banting Institute, University of Toronto, with a Funeral Director's license in 1967.

1982 - After 15 years in the funeral service in Toronto, Ken returned to Kincardine and purchased the business now known as Davey-Linklater Funeral Home Limited.

1994 - A large addition/renovation was completed giving the community a funeral home with a formal chapel, reception centre, wheel chair accessibility, central air conditioning, and on-site parking.

2004 - Ken and Debby Davey retired, selling the funeral home to Dan and Kim McFadden.  Dan and Kim came to Kincardine from Chesley, where they owned and operated McFadden Funeral Home.  Dan graduated in 1996 from Humber College, Toronto.  After working in Toronto for 2 years, he returned to Chesley to help his father run his funeral home, then purchased it from his father, in 1999.
