Sylvan Lake Funeral Home & Crematorium

Sylvan Lake Funeral Home has been a trusted and compassionate provider of funeral services to the families of Central Alberta for over 80 years. Our funeral home has been located in the picturesque town of Sylvan Lake, serving as a familiar and comforting landmark to the many families we have had the privilege of assisting. Over the years, our funeral home has had several owners, including the Duffields, the Buchanans, and the Flinn family since 1985.

Ed Stevenson, our manager, has been with us since 1987 and has played an integral role in our continued growth and commitment to serving our community. Originally from Newfoundland, Ed moved to Alberta with his family and has been an active member of the Sylvan Lake community ever since. His dedication to our funeral home and the families we serve is evident in his continuous involvement in local boards such as the Canadian Red Cross, The Royal Canadian Legion- Sylvan Lake Branch, and the Sylvan Lake Community Partners Association.

We understand that every family is unique, and we strive to create personalized tributes that honor and celebrate the lives of those we serve. Our team, including funeral attendants, transporters, and a trained celebrant, is committed to helping you and your loved ones through a difficult time with respect, understanding, and kindness.
