“It doesn’t seem like a funeral home” is the comment we often hear when people visit our Celebration of Life Centre on Ryan Road in Courtenay.

Our philosophy has always been that when families gather to say goodbye, they appreciate a relaxed, home-like environment where they can comfortably take the time to do so in a way that’s meaningful to them.

Our beautifully appointed Ryan Road location provides for “Celebration of Life” DVD presentations, Lifetime Tribute Displays, a state of the art sound system for the music of your choice, and for those requiring a less formal ceremony, specially trained “Civil Celebrants” who spend the time to create something with special memories to last a lifetime!

Our Chapel is a beautifully appointed facility with both generous seating and flexibility. Natural lighting from four individual skylights provides a bright, yet soft ambiance. Added features include division from a full sized chapel to a smaller, more intimate chapel. A private seating area is also available, adjacent to both chapels.

Our Garden Room with Outdoor Patio was designed specifically for fellowship and refreshments following the service. Because of its convenience for both indoor and outdoor use, most families choose to have their afterservice reception right here. The Garden Room is fully catered and can accommodate large or small gatherings.

A large, open area centrally located as you enter the Funeral Home, with vaulted ceilings, skylights and a warm fireplace, has been specifically designed to accommodate families in greeting friends and gathering prior to and after the service.

Plenty of on-site parking is available, with attendants to assist you. Easily accessible, we can accommodate all vehicles for most services. Parking is also available in our covered concourse for family on the day of the service, with a separate entrance and gathering room.
