Ancient Burials

Tomorrow marks the first national day of Truth and Reconciliation. We will be observing this day of mourning and shutting down all non-essential operations. We acknowledge the deep scar left by the mistreatment of First Nations people by the hands of those who were entrusted with their care. To those who have died, may their memory be eternal. To those whose remains have been recently discovered, may they rest in peace. To those who live with the effects of past wrongs, may you find peace and healing. - Zane & team

It is always a fine balance in maintaining a cemetery’s appearance. People’s natural participation in remembering a loved one can involve bringing items that have importance. Every cemetery has the challenge of tying to honour these adornments but also keep a presentable space that is safe for maintenance.

As we come to the time of year where Lent has started for some or soon will start for others, we want to acknowledge the work we do in support of families religious traditions. The last year has brought lots of difficulty, but maintaining these traditions at end of life is still very possible. https://www.ancientburials.com/religious-funerals.html

As an independently owned family business we have the opportunity to review our processes, products, and prices and make changes when we receive feedback from families.

Honouring our dearly departed veterans and those who have served.

Remembrance Day 2020 is unlike any I have experienced. Not being able to take our family to the local Aldergrove parade or the Legion makes this a somber moment. These gatherings where we honour those who have given so much to serve our country has significant meaning and are important to mark each year. Please take time today to stop at 11:11 and say a prayer of thanks that we live in a country that provides us freedom and fights for peace. https://www.legionbcyukon.ca//give-bcyukon-legion-foundati
