Let's celebrate life

When the need arises for you to arrange a funeral or memorial service, our compassionate, friendly and professional associates are here to assist you to design a tribute as unique as your loved one. We can find inspiration almost anywhere. Whether it's a favourite hobby, a cherished keepsake or a treasured poem, our team takes all of the things that make a person special and weave them together to create an unforgettable memorial.

Imagine a motorcycle processional with his beloved bike leading the way. Beforehand, we could have a catered lunch of his favourite foods in the Mountain View Room. Envision a garden-themed reception on our patio decorated with her favourite plants and flowers. As a keepsake, we can give all who attend personalized seed packets. Of course, if you would prefer to have a more traditional funeral service, we are happy to do that as well. We promise to do everything we can to meet your needs and wishes.
