Pierson's Funeral Service

07/06/2026

Today we were honoured to be presented with a certificate of appreciation for the work we have done serving the Military community of Calgary. A few of our employees were also presented with a Military coin. What an honour it was to receive these items. We are always honoured to serve families during a loss, and when that loss is associated with military service it is another honour as well.

Did you know that you could have the option of receiving cremated remains in more than one form? We partnered with Parting Stone recently and now offer solidified remains. This was the presentation of the first set of solidified remains that we made to the family.

When you're thinking to yourself, "Gee, I should make time to plan my family estate, and I've been thinking about pre-planning my funeral so my family doesn't have to worry about it, but it's -20c, there's ice everywhere, and I don't want to hasten things along."

We agree. That's why we're offering our free "Make History" seminars online.

One of our employees was featured as he graduated from the Funeral Director program. Congratulations Marc!

Graduate Feature: Marc Hamoline, who is graduating with a Funeral Director Certificate Mount Royal University Continuing Education

After spending years serving in fire and EMS/emergency management in Saskatchewan and Healthcare Protective Services in Alberta, Marc returned to school to move into the next phase of his career.

“I would tell [someone considering going back to school after working for a number of years] to go with their heart in what they truly want to achieve in life. If it means going back to school for a better education and knowledge, then it's well worth it,” he says.
