During this difficult time, you will be faced with many decisions that need to be made. You want to honour your loved one with arrangements that properly celebrate their life, but you may be overwhelmed with the choices and the speed with which you need to make decisions. The Estates of Sunnybrook would like to offer our facilities for a memorial reception or celebration of life after the funeral service.

The Estates of Sunnybrook is a serene and secluded facility, housed in two historic homes that have been lovingly restored and are now used for hosting intimate private functions. We offer an elegant, residential atmosphere that will welcome your guests. Extensive grounds surround both homes, allowing your guests the freedom to stroll outside in good weather.


We are located on Bayview Avenue, between Eglinton and Lawrence, with easy access from downtown or out of town. Complimentary parking is available on site and both McLean House and Vaughan Estate are wheelchair accessible.

We have designed some simple food & beverage options that are suitable at most memorial receptions. Naturally, you are welcome to choose from our regular menu selection if what you find here isn’t appropriate for your event.

With their may years of experience, our caring and unobtrusive staff will ensure that your event runs smoothly, so that you are free to spend time with your guests. Hosting a memorial reception at The Estates of Sunnybrook also allows you to give back to the community – the profits from all events contribute to further medical research at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.
