Cemetery Services

Today, there are endless choices in the way you memorialize your loved one. Whether outdoors surrounded by the tranquility of nature, or in a comfortable indoor structure, we have options to suite everyone.

Whether cremation or burial is chosen, we will guide you through your choices, helping customize your memorial. While Red Deer Funeral Home will work closely with any cemetery you choose, we suggest you consider our sister Arbor Memorial cemeteries: Eden Brook  and Mountain View.

Make a Tribute that Makes a Statement

Traditional or contemporary, customized choices for burial and cremation memorialization are as limitless as your imagination. Some options include:

• Bronze memorials, installed on a granite base and set flush with the ground. Bronze is also the memorialization for outdoor columbarium niches, which hold cremated remains.
• Upright monuments, made from the finest granite quarried worldwide, and installed on a minimum four-foot deep concrete foundation to avoid future leaning.
• The Living Tribute Program, which features a small tree, planted in our cemetery as a symbol of hope, and a sign of new life that will someday stand tall as a living tribute to your loved one. A suitable plaque identifies the family or person whose memory is being honoured.
• Benches, and garden features such as rocks and sundials are unique ways to honour the memory and pay tribute to your loved one.
• Indoor glass-front columbarium niches, which hold cremated remains, provide for comfortable, year-round visitation
• Outdoor columbarium niches: often surrounded by gardens, trees and nature, these outdoor features allow for a personal and tranquil setting
• Crypts are family memorials that can be built to accommodate multiple generations. These can range from modest to elaborate and are personal reflections of the family. The options are endless.
• Mausoleums are climate-controlled, indoor buildings that house both crypts and niches. Certain areas are designated or blessed by religious leaders or allow for specific family customs.

The addition of pictures, etchings of memorable scenes and engraved epitaphs can further individualize your memorial.

Planning Ahead

An increasingly popular option, pre-planning lets you take the burden off of your family, while giving you a chance to customize your memorial. We also provide valuable benefits when pre-planning with Red Deer Funeral Home, including the Perpetual Care Program, which ensures your resting place is always meticulously maintained.  To find out more about pre-planning your final arrangements, click here.
