Reception Centre

Park Memorial's Reception Centre in Edmonton opened in the fall of 2002. Located at 11015 -101 Street, directly adjacent to the funeral home, this attractive, modern facility is the largest of its kind in northern Alberta.

The reception centre building is also home to Park Memorial’s Family Care prearranged funeral office, where you may prearrange a funeral service that is tailored to your own personal wishes and economic situation.

Having a Reception The reception centre, a gathering place for food and fellowship, is available seven days a week following a prayer or funeral service. If you would like to use the facility, your funeral director will work with you to ensure a menu is chosen to best suit the needs of your gathering. During the reception, our hostesses will attend to your needs; serving coffee, tea and juice, ensuring the serving tables are maintained, and keeping the room tidy.

A Comfortable Setting The reception centre can comfortably seat about 150 people. Tastefully decorated in luxurious and soothing earth tones, this wheelchair-accessible facility is designed for comfort. Chandelier lighting, a vaulted ceiling, stained glass windows, etched glass doors, and a gas fireplace encased in a feature fieldstone wall help create a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

Media Options We have also incorporated two 50" flat screen monitors that allow Park Memorial to televise a service taking place in the chapel at the same time. A video tribute playing in the background during the reception makes for a personalized gathering. You may choose to honour the passing of your loved one by showing a unique video tribute, comprised of 50 to 60 photos depicting special moments in the deceased's life. You may also want to play specially selected background music CDs, or conduct your own special service or tribute to make the experience more meaningful.

Multi-Purpose Stateroom Our reception centre also includes a multi-purpose stateroom. This intimate stateroom may be used for a visitation, to pay your respects to the deceased in conjunction with a social reception, or you may use it as a quiet space to sit in privacy and regroup. Park Memorial will also assist you in decorating the room in a theme that reflects the life of your loved one.
