Funeral Home in Winnipeg

Personalized Tributes
Celebrate a Life Well Lived

For thousands of years, people have been holding funeral services to formally say goodbye. A funeral fills several purposes. It is a tribute to honour a special life - an opportunity to celebrate the experiences, accomplishments, hobbies, heritage and history of a unique and irreplaceable personality. For many, a meaningful service is an important part of the healing process.  It also helps console the immediate family, the people who often feel the loss most deeply. A funeral service can be part of your final arrangements, whether burial or cremation is chosen.

Say More Than Just Goodbye

We invite you to plan a service that’s as traditional or contemporary as you want.  We welcome unique requests to honour the memory of your loved one and our planning specialists will work creatively to ensure your memorial is a one-of-a-kind tribute.  

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 large chapel seats 200. 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. 

Here are some things to think about which will help tailor the funeral to the person being celebrated:

Specific interests or qualities about the deceased that you feel are important to remember

  • Anecdotes and stories
  • People you want to be sure to include
  • Clergy or appropriate speaker to lead the service
  • People who may also want to speak at the service
  • Songs and music to be played at the service and other events (visitation, reception)
  •  Poems, passages and other readings for the service

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, private gatherings and a spacious reception room with full kitchens and outdoor patio, as private places to gather and remember.

Online Tributes

Sharing Memories is our exclusive memorial site, available free of charge.  It offers friends and family from around the world the chance to honour their loved one with photos, messages, quotes, and more.  Your loved one’s profile will be accessible always, meaning you can visit and reminisce anytime and anywhere. 

Helping You Cope with Grief

We understand the importance of support, and offer free AfterCare service to ensure you receive guidance and emotional counselling anytime you need it.  Our AfterCare professionals can also offer help with 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.

  • Reduce the burden on your family: Planning your final arrangements ahead of time reduces the responsibilities on your family at their time of distress.
  • Peace of mind: Gain comfort in knowing your plans are ready.
