Funeral Services in Sackville

There are many functions that a funeral fulfills: it honours a unique life; it gives friends and family a chance to say goodbye, and it provides a place where the healing process can begin. For thousands of years, the funeral has played an important role in providing consolation during a time of loss and mourning. 

Say More Than Just Goodbye

Traditional or contemporary, the funeral service can be tailored to your faith, taste and budget. Whether planning for yourself or a loved one, our professionals will help you design a memorial service as unique as the person being honoured.

Traditionally, there is a visitation period before the service for friends and family to express their love, support, and concern.  We offer access to quiet visitation rooms that provide a peaceful atmosphere for your visitation period. 

Planning a Service and Reception

Our newly renovated funeral home features a large chapel. But don’t feel you are required to have a traditional, clergy-led function.  There are endless ways to pay homage to your loved one in a style that reflects their passions.  We can offer services that cater to the traveller, the reader, the sports fan, the crafter, the volunteer, and so many more.  Send guests home with mementos that remind them of their loved one, or serve a personalized menu of favourite recipes and foods. 

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

After the service, it can be comforting to host a reception where family and friends join together over a meal.  We offer a lounge for small gatherings and  a large reception room, catering services and ample parking.
