Nova Scotia funeral home to soon start selling alcohol during visitations - Nova News Now

METRO HALIFAX - A funeral home in Dartmouth will soon become the first in the province to give those grieving the loss of a loved one the chance to do so with a drink. Atlantic Funeral Homes’ Main Street location was granted a liquor licence in April, and has plans to start serving booze at visitations in July. “Everyone always talks about the old Irish wakes,” general manager Mark Hooftman said June 15 “When you’re celebrating a life, the celebration could be many things to different people, and for some people it could mean alcohol.” Hooftman says the company was getting requests from many of its customers for alcohol at visitations. That meant applying for a special occasion licence every time someone wanted to toast a dead relative with, for example, a bottle of the dearly departed’s favourite whiskey. There is no liquor licence for funeral homes, per sé, but Hooftman says he applied for a licence with the province’s Liquor Control Board anyway, and they made what he calls a “groundbreaking” exception.

"I said ‘no thanks, that's far too dangerous.'"Then they asked me how I felt about jumping out of a plane.'"The battalion came to prominence on D-Day, the start of the invasion of occupied Europe by the Allied forces.Members of the Canadian battalion, fought with the British 6th Airborne Division, dropped behind enemy lines in France. Their goal was to disrupt German forces by securing bridges needed for the invasion and to engage the enemy in firefights to prevent them from reinforcing German positions on the coast of France.Mr. Miklos was dropped in France in mid-June, after the initial attack and was with the campaign to liberate Nazi-occupied Europe for several months.

MARTINS POINT, N.S. - An American man who dedicated his life to finding treasure on Nova Scotia's Oak Island was remembered Monday as a larger-than-life figure who became a pillar in the community he made home for more than 50 years. Roughly 120 people packed a small wood-panelled church in the coastal community of Martins Point for the funeral of Dan Blankenship. Blankenship, a U.S. Army veteran who became fixated on the Oak Island mystery, died March 17 at age 95. The service included a rendition of Frank Sinatra's "My Way." "He enjoyed his life," said Rev. Ron Barkhouse of St. Mark's Anglican Church, where Blankenship would often attend services. "He had 95 years to do what he wanted to do." Blankenship was a staple on "The Curse of Oak Island,'' a reality TV series on the History channel set on the 57-hectare island on Nova Scotia's south shore. David Eisnor, a longtime family friend, said during a eulogy that Blankenship was known around the world for being a treasure hunting legend, but he had many interests. "His resume would inc...
