To all those we serve:

The health, safety and overall well-being of the families we serve, the families who enter our funeral home, and our employees, are of utmost importance to us. As we all continue to adjust to the new set of circumstances, the following guidelines are for everyone's personal safety. 

First, and foremost, we want to ensure the public that we are constantly monitoring the situation, following Alberta Health Services guidelines and working with our funeral organizations to ensure that our funeral home is doing our best as we move through this trying time.  As always, we will continue to care for your loved one and their wishes along with your family.
