Funeral Home

A funeral is a timeless tradition that has given families a chance to say goodbye for thousands of years.  It is a place where a special life can be honoured, their values and accomplishments can be celebrated, and a place where family can begin to heal.  There is so much more a funeral provides than simply a eulogy and biblical quotes; it is a way to commemorate a life and all those it touched. 

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, 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.

We feature an exquisitely decorated chapel. But you are not limited to classic, clergy-led services. We can help you plan a memorial that reflects an individual’s talents and interests, from cooking to painting, motorcycles to movies. The choices are endless.   Here are some things that can help make sure the service is personalized:

• Special interests, hobbies and characteristics you want to honour
• Reminiscences to share
• Close friends and relatives to invite
• A spiritual leader to conduct the service
• Those who may want to share a memory at the service
• Favourite music to play at the ceremony and/or visitation
• Favourite authors to read at 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 large reception room, with full kitchen facilities.

Online Tributes

We proudly offer, free of charge, our exclusive memorial site Sharing Memories.  This is a unique and long lasting way to pay tribute to your loved one with videos, pictures, quotes and more.  These online profiles stay current, and are easily accessible to those who may not be able to attend the service, or who want to take a moment to reminisce after the fact. 

Helping You Cope with Grief

Highland Hills Funeral Home & Cemetery provides free AfterCare service to help support you through your grief. Our AfterCare experts can also help when dealing with important – and sometimes confusing – 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.

Planning ahead also give you access to valuable benefits, including funeral coverage for family members under 19, and being able to transfer your funeral plans to any of our locations within Canada so you never have to worry if you move or retire to a new city.  Take a moment to learn more about pre-planning your funeral and cemetery arrangements.
