What we are doing to keep us all safe:

The health and safety of the public and our employees is our top priority. 

We assure you that we are taking proactive measures to help prevent the spread of any potential illness. We are closely monitoring information that is coming from several important sources, most relevant, Alberta Health Services, regarding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).  We are implementing the following guidelines from AHS and other relevant sources (WHO World Health Organization, CDC – Centre for Disease Control, AFSA – Alberta Funeral Service Association, FSAC – Funeral Service Association of Canada, NFDA – National Funeral Directors Association).

• We are practicing social distancing, avoiding hand shaking, hugs and maintaining distance from others.
• We use cleaning and disinfecting protocols to clean our building before and after all arrangements, with particular attention paid to high touch items like door handles, faucets, chairs and other communal areas.
• Employees feeling sickness are staying home.
• We use strict “Universal Precautions” as outlined by health authorities, a practice that has been in place since our inception, in handling our deceased loved ones. We are vigilant in this practice. 

We ask for your cooperation:

We ask those entering our facilities, join us in practices that will keep everyone safe. This includes the following:
