Burial
Burial services often involve a visitation, followed by a funeral service in our offices or a place of your choosing, perhaps a place of worship or local hall. The casket is usually present at both these events and can either be open or closed.

Caskets
We have a comprehensive selection of wood caskets, metal caskets, semi-precious metal caskets, cloth covered caskets, cremation caskets and rental caskets to honour your loved one.
Cemeteries
There are a large number of cemeteries in the Peace Region. We can help you find the right resting place for your loved one and take care of all the details. This can include grave selection, marking, opening and closing and set-up, such as monument installation and repairs.
Monuments
A memorial headstone should be more than just a means to mark the final resting place. It serves as an enduring reminder of a lifetime and is a timeless expression of love.
Burial Vaults
A burial vault protects the casket once it is the ground. A variety of materials are available. Talk to your funeral director for more information.
Cremation
Cremation is an alternative to burial. Cremation can provide more flexibility in service options. Families can choose to have the casket or urn present, a viewing before cremation, a witness cremation, or a delayed service.

Witness Cremations
A Witness Cremation is a special way you can say goodbye to your loved one and honour their memory. Oliver’s has a private, comfortable waiting room, directly next to the crematorium where you and your loved ones can gather as you say goodbye.
Urns
An urn can be a beautiful well to pay tribute to your loved one and reflect their personality. Many of our urns can be personalized with your loved ones details or photo.
Keepsake Urns
A keepsake urn is a smaller urn (usually 3 inches tall) that coordinates with the main urn. Keepsake urns can be a beautiful way to divide the ashes among family members or to keep a portion back when scattering the ashes.
Keepsakes & Jewelry
Keepsakes and Jewelry are beautiful ways to keep the memory of your loved one close. Whether you would like your loved one’s fingerprint, signature, name, photo, or ashes included, we have a personalization option to help you honour the memory of your loved one.
Columbarium
A Columbarium is a tall granite structure with multiple niches. Each niche can hold up to two urns. The front of each niche can be customized with your loved one’s name and dates, becoming a permanent memorial for the family to visit. Oliver’s has their own Columbarium Walls conveniently located within both the Grande Prairie City and the Beaverlodge Town Cemeteries.
Room of Remembrance
The Room of Remembrance is located in Oliver’s Funeral Home. It serves as a temporary resting place for urns when a family is unsure of what they want to do with the urn, or are not quite ready to bring it home yet. Families may come and visit the urn at any time during regular office hours.
Urn Vaults
When an urn is interred in a cemetery, an urn vault may be used to protect the urn in the ground. Talk to your funeral director for more information.
Service Options
Our service options can be combined and customized to create a service that is best option for you and your family.
Hold a formal service to honour the life of your loved one. This can be held in our chapel, at a church, hall, or other location of your choice.
Gather with friends and family to remember your loved one’s life together. A Memorial Gathering includes no formal service. A luncheon or other reception option may be included.
Meet at the graveside for a short, formal service before interring the casket or urn.
The opportunity to say goodbye to your loved one can be a very meaningful experience. It can help bring closure and start the healthy grieving process. Viewings may be private or open to the public.
Holding a luncheon reception after the service or during the Memorial Gathering is a wonderful way to come together, offer support, and share memories with your friends and family. A variety of catering options are available when holding the reception in our Tea Room.
Whether you want to have a drink with family and friends after the service or have an informal gathering instead of the service, our full-service bar adds to any celebration of life.
Any service options may be livestreamed to include those who cannot be physically present.
Enhance The Service
Obituaries
More than merely a 'goodbye' to the deceased, an obituary is a farewell detailing their life in chronological order. An obituary also serves as notification that an individual has passed away and provides information on any services that are scheduled to take place.
Memorial Cards & Stationary
We have a wide range of stationery options available to help you honour the life of your loved one. Every memorial card is custom designed to the family's preference.
Video Tributes
Video Tributes are a wonderful way to honour your loved one's life and cherish your memories of them. Bring in your photos, and Oliver's staff will create a beautiful memorial video to play at the service and take home afterward.
Flowers
Flowers are a beautiful addition to a service. We offer a variety of custom-designed contemporary or traditional arrangements that can be modified to personalize your tribute.
