How We Create these Lasting Celebrations

Our Facility

Our funeral home has had several makeovers throughout the past decades. Our funeral home has the following:

  • Chapel room that can seat up to 180 people.
  • Reception room for catering services'
  • State of the art kitchen to hold food and drinks.
  • 55 inch flat screen television.
  • Audio and visual equipment.
  • Reception atrium that is used for dining and overflow.

Celebrant Led Services

When you need our services to plan a funeral or celebration of life you can lean on our Owner/Funeral Director, George McKenzie, to assist with leading the service.

George has been a celebrant for the past 30 years and has led and spoke at hundreds of services. From small private family gatherings, to large services with over 500 people in attendance, George can help provide an intimate and comfortable environment to help honour your loved one.

On & Off Site Event Planning


It is hard to believe that our family has been helping families create memorable services for over 70 years. When families use our services, our funeral directors, aka event planners, sit down and walk every family through the set up to the format of how they would like the celebration of life to flow. We provide helpful tips and solutions to best meet your family's needs. 

Such as the set up of our funeral home, the layout of the room, providing speakers with guidance, taking care of the family and their needs, and setting up memorabilia and personal effects.

We also arrange celebrations of life away from our funeral home. On many occasions a family will use our services to set up and plan a celebration of life at
 
  • Hotel
  • An outdoor park
  • A family's home
  • Local community attractions (museums, rec center's, etc...)
  • Care homes

Our services are mobile too if the family wishes to not have a celebration of life at our funeral home.

Catering Services

We have a wide variety of food to choose from with our preferred caterers. From hot food (such as meatballs, quiches, pulled pork) to simple snack trays such as sandwiches, meats, and cheeses. A family favourite is the build your own sandwich bar which includes pulled pork, shredded beef, chicken and lots of toppings to choose from. There are also the wonderful dessert trays in which our caterers can make, from sugary crepes, nanaimo bars, cakes, and cookies. Prices vary on people and menu items. We can give a quoted breakdown when arranging with us.

We do not make the food ourselves but use our preferred caterers to supply and deliver food.

Custom Designed Video Tributes

Our owner & funeral director, Mildred McKenzie, creates beautiful and last video tributes. She custom designs the photos and music to piece together perfectly to help share and relive those memories of your loved one.

We ask for 50-60 photos and three pieces of music. Usual length of the video is between 12-14 minutes long.

For every family we serve, we provide a free online memorial page on our website. This memorial page will show the celebration of life details and allow family and friends to write condolences or stories to the family.

Also, photos can be uploaded of the deceased to the page for people to see, as well as donations can be placed to a charity of choice. Likewise, flowers can be ordered directly on the page that can be delivered directly to us for the celebration of life.
