Funeral Home in Halifax I Atlantic Funeral Home- Halifax

For generations, a funeral has been a way for family and friends to gather and celebrate the life of a loved one, to honour their accomplishments, and to start the journey towards healing.  A funeral is a fundamental part of your final arrangements, whether burial or cremation is chosen.  

Say More Than Just Goodbye

A funeral service, whether for yourself or a loved one, can be as traditional or contemporary as you desire. No matter how unique the request, our planning professionals creatively and resourcefully provide a one-of-a-kind remembrance.

Traditionally, a visitation period occurs before the funeral service; this gives friends and family a chance to provide condolences, support, and love during a difficult time.  We offer quiet visitation areas where you can receive guests in a soothing, peaceful environment.

 Planning a Service and Reception

Atlantic Funeral Home - Halifax features a new formal chapel. But you don’t have to plan a conventional, clergy-led service. Today, the opportunity to honour your loved one reaches far beyond the classic readings and a eulogy.  Whether it’s showcasing dad’s prized motorcycle collection or serving cookies baked from grandmother’s famous recipe, discuss your ideas with us.  The possibilities are endless.

When planning the funeral, this checklist can help you personalize the service:

• Specific pastimes and characteristics you wish to honour
• Special stories and memories to share
• Significant people to invite
• A leader for the ceremony
• People who may want to speak at the ceremony
• A soundtrack for the ceremony and other events, such as the reception
• Quotes or poems to read during the ceremony

A warm and welcoming reception after the funeral provides a place for friends and family to gather and talk over a meal or refreshments.  We offer a lounge for small gatherings, a reception room, catering services and ample parking.

 Online Tributes

Available free of charge, our exclusive online memorial site Sharing Memories provides the unique opportunity to honour your loved one with a personal tribute of words, pictures, video and more. Unlike traditional forms of memorial, your loved one's on-line profile can stay current and accessible always, from anywhere.

Helping You Cope with Grief

Atlantic Funeral Home - Halifax is pleased to offer free AfterCare support services.  We are available to help you cope with your grief, offer guidance and advice, and assist you with complicated matters after the funeral, such as finalizing the estate.

Planning Ahead

We understand it can be difficult to make important decisions during a time of mourning. Pre-planning allows you to be certain your life will be commemorated as you see fit, while having the peace of mind of knowing your family won’t be left struggling financially during their grief.

When you plan ahead, you also receive valuable benefits, including the ability to transfer your plan to any of our locations within Canada.  Learn more about pre-planning your final arrangements.
