About Us

Focused on Your Needs
Who We Are and What We Do

Proudly serving the Calgary area since 1952, Mountain View Memorial Gardens and Funeral Home will help you customize your arrangements, while respecting your faith, taste and budget. You can feel confident putting your trust in our compassionate professionals.

Our 122 acres create a warm and relaxing atmosphere for friends and families to gather and reminisce. The cemetery is graced with mature trees, benches, colourful flower gardens, Italian marble statuary and two sparkling ponds, which feature water fountains and a home to waterfowl. Our Funeral Home, built in 1985, adds the convenience of making all your arrangements at one location.

We are proud to be a part of this community. Our helpful, dedicated staff are passionate about supporting families, local associations, religious organizations and cultural groups, and we are honoured to host a series of free memorial events throughout the year.
