Funeral Services

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

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.

Often, a visitation period proceeds the service. Receiving family and friends through a visitation provides support,  and allows others to express their love and concern for you. Our quiet visitation rooms provide a soothing atmosphere for attendees.

Planning a Service and Reception

If you want a clergy-led service, Delta Funeral Home offers a beautiful chapel for your service with seating for 110.  Don’t feel confined to the traditional service, as there are nearly endless opportunities to honour your loved one in a unique way.  For example, someone who spent a lifetime baking delicious treats can be remembered with a taste of his famous brownies, or for the avid reader, friends and family can take home a copy of her favourite book.  The possibilities are endless, and we are here to discuss your ideas.  

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 funeral, a reception is a time for family and friends to reflect, laugh, and cry together over refreshments or a meal. We offer a reception room with full kitchen facilities, a lounge for smaller gatherings, and ample parking for your guests.

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

Moving forward after a loss can be difficult.  Our free AfterCare service is here for you with guidance, literature, and support when it’s needed. We can also help with executor duties, such as finalizing the details of the estate.
