3 Best Funeral Homes in Calgary, AB

One of my two sisters (both of whom who live in Calgary) passed away in early April. I flew in from Ontario a day later to assist my other sister with the funeral arrangements. Choice Memorial had been recommended to her. I cannot speak highly enough about the service we received from Lori at Choice when we met with her for over 2 1/2 hours going over the details of the very simple service that we wanted. Her compassion and kindness, not to mention her patience with questions from 5 of us who were there, were phenomenal. Lori told us that she would personally be there when my sister was cremated and would phone us to tell us when it was happening, Again, this a4ttention to detail was very considerate and comforting. We all felt at ease and comforted that we were in very good hands. In the following week, another one of the staff, Karen, was instrumental in guiding me through the process of death notices for the Calgary Herald and the Toronto Star. Again, kindness, patience and compassion. I cannot speak highly enough of Karen or Lori or the fabulous service that this company provided in our time of grief.

Choice We would highly recommend Choice Memorial to help your family through the difficult time of losing a loved one. They came highly referred to us by a few people and we were not disappointed. They guided us right from having our Mom transferred from the nursing home to their location at the time of passing. We dealt with Tonya Mack and I do not think you will ever find a more compassionate person to help you through the process. They are also very reasonably priced when compared to the larger more well known homes. The service they provided to us for and at the Celebration of Life, was outstanding and we are very grateful to them.

Choice Memorial was absolutely amazing to work with! Their prices were so reasonable, and their staff are absolutely incredible caring, and knowledgeable. I cannot express how grateful I am to Laura for all of her help. She was my main contact throughout the process of planning my Mom's funeral. Laura and Tanya, both made the whole process effortless especially during such a difficult time.

Foster’s Garden Chapel went above the call of duty in regards to ALL PAPERWORK. You guys are amazing and way over the top. I experienced two deaths 10 days apart from each other. Both were close relatives that died in my arms. I was in a rough place. The other funeral home handed us a pile of papers to go home and fill out. You guys sat with us and did everything with us and for us. That was an incredible service most people would take for granted not knowing it is a service NOT always provided. I am so grateful because everything was overwhelming enough and you lightened the load and relieved us of stress. On top of that, you sent us home with a frozen lasagna! It was then that I realized none of us had eaten anything all day. Foster’s made such a difference in our lives that day. We are so appreciative.

We just had a Celebration of Life here at Foster’s on Saturday for my stepdad! From the first meeting with Brent , we knew we were in great hands ! The compassion and professionalism that mom and I received from Brent and all the staff here was exceptional! Shout out to our limo driver as well, she was amazing at fitting everything and everyone into the car ! The Celebration was set up perfectly, the flowers and food done to a very high standard! Kudos to everyone at Foster’s for making a tough day that much easier! Thank you so very much.

During a sudden time of need, we enlisted the service of Foster's Garden Chapel. They provided exceptional guidance and care to our family and we highly recommend them. Personal and compassionate beyond what I expected.
