Out of Town
Services provided through our partners at Connelly McKinley, Westlawn and Little Mountain are all located in Edmonton. If you reside outside of Edmonton and choose to have your burial or cremation in your location, you will be able to submit receipts for reimbursement. The amount reimbursement is based on what we would have paid through our service providers in Edmonton.
Meet our Partners
The Christian Funeral Society, located in Edmonton, has established enduring partnerships within the community. We are pleased to refer individuals to our trusted partners when they require assistance with funeral arrangements.
For more than 80 years, Connelly-McKinley Funeral Homes, formerly know as Foster and McGarvey, have served their friends and neighbors, bringing them comfort and assistance to families in times of need. From our professional and caring staff, to our comfortable facilities, ours is one of the few remaining family owned and operated funeral homes in the Greater Edmonton Area.
Little Mountain is a mixture of old fashioned simplicity with a touch of mystique that creates an atmosphere of reverence. Many of the pioneers who settled northeast of Edmonton have made Little Mountain their final resting place. In 1895 this site, on the highest point in the area, was chosen to be a cemetery and serve the north-east of what is now, Edmonton.
