Mourning Glory Funeral Service

The Mission of Mourning Glory Funeral Services is to give families choices that are affordable while providing a professional and dedicated level of service. Our staff will assist you to create a meaningful tribute to your loved one.

There is a comfortable, warm setting with a welcoming entry; four arrangement rooms where one of the Funeral Directors; John Schachtel, David Schurr, Chelsea Krentz, Aime Laventure and Ashley Hunter will meet with the family; two viewing rooms where a family can gather to view their loved one before burial or cremation; a coffee bar where the coffee is always on; two offices where the paper work and administration is handled; and a preparation room for holding and preparing your loved one prior to the funeral service.

Mourning Glory staff treat every family as one of our own: Compassion with understanding is our gift to you. We have respect for the dead, providing care from a private residence, care home, or hospital to Mourning Glory. Staff are available to give information about our Services, to distribute Obituaries to papers across Canada, to assist you with completing forms, to give information about Grave Markers.

The Leadership Team along with the entire Mourning Glory staff will do their very best to assist you at your time of need. John Schachtel has worked in the funeral profession for 30 years. John has been dedicated to serving families for the last 25 years in Saskatoon. He is loved and appreciated because of his personal touch, his professionalism, and his genuine compassion.

At Mourning Glory let us reduce some of the anxiety by helping you prepare a funeral service in advance. Planning ahead give clear direction about your wishes, and allows you to provide required information and keep it on file so it is available when needed. Fill in as much as you are comfortable with and we'd be pleased to meet with you to discuss further.

What should I do first? Your first call should be to the funeral home where a licensed Funeral Director will assist you with the next steps - transferring your loved one into our care, arranging for a meeting time with the Executor and Family, creating a meaningful farewell service, and preparing for the final disposition at a cemetery or with a crematorium.
