Jacques Funeral Home, aka. Forty years later, in 1970, with cooperation of "City of Calgary Parks, " Calgary Crematorium and Funeral Services was built.

Most of us are not prepared to plan and carry out a funeral ceremony for someone we love. And so much of the information available on this critically important subject fails to focus on what is most important: having a personalized, meaningful funeral that helps families and friends begin the healing process of mourning after the death of someone we love.

Thank you for selecting Calgary Crematorium & Funeral Services and giving us this opportunity to guide you through this difficult time. The arrangement process provides us an opportunity to assist your family in honouring your loved one's life. When you come in for the arrangements, we ask you to bring in a full set of clothing as well as a recent photograph.

Many people plan for life events such as weddings and vacations well in advance, but many people do not plan for something that is certain to happen, their funeral. While most people do not want to think about their own mortality.

The primary advantages of pre-arranging your funeral is to relieve the burden on your loved ones in an already emotional time, and to ensure your funeral is carried out according to your wishes, eliminating the task of second-guessing what you would have wanted.Taking the time now to arrange your funeral is one less thing your loved ones will need to worry about once you've passed.

Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
