D. J. Robb Funeral Home & Cremation Centre Ltd.

Dyzart began his career in the funeral profession as an apprentice with Phippen & Simpson Funeral Home of Sarnia. He purchased the company in 1924 and operated it under the name of D. J. Robb Funeral Home and Ambulance Service for the next 33 years. He died in September of 1957 while working at his desk. He left his two sons a legacy of valued service and a standard of excellence that is still maintained today.

Jim began working at the funeral home in 1969, working summers and weekends washing cars, delivering flowers, cleaning and assisting the funeral directors with numerous other chores and tasks. He received his degree in Funeral Services from Humber College and his Funeral Directors license from the Ontario Board of Funeral Services in 1977.

He served as the Treasurer of the company until his buyout of shares in 2012. He is now the President of the company now operating as the D. J. Robb Funeral Home & Cremation Centre Ltd., as well as the Managing Director. Under his direction an expansion project in 1988 saw the addition of a new 250 seat funeral chapel along with new offices, casket and urn display areas and garage space.

This made the funeral home only one in Lambton County with its own funeral chapel designed specifically for funeral and celebration of life services.
