Consumer Choice and Readers’ Choice for Edmonton Funeral Home

Park Memorial • December 8, 2021

Based on the feedback of our community.

In 2010, The Consumer Choice Award organization in Edmonton began recognizing the category of funeral home excellence in their awards and recognition. Park Memorial was honoured to be selected as the winner in that inaugural year – and because of the trust of the families that we serve, we have continued to earn this award every year since. This status is awarded to businesses using independent research and big data taken from online and social media sources and is awarded on an annual basis. 


Winning businesses are given the opportunity to participate in annual Consumers Choice marketing campaigns, which have allowed Park Memorial to share our brand story in our community in such a way that we have seen our audience and our impact grow and flourish. 


In 2017, the category of funeral home excellence was also added to the Edmonton Journal Readers’ Choice Awards, and Park Memorial was the Gold winner in that category, and has continued to be recognized as such for seven consecutive years. Last year’s award was especially meaningful, as its launch and announcement coincided with our Park Memorial 80th Anniversary. 


For over 82 years, bereaved families across northern Alberta have continued to trust and find comfort in the services that Park Memorial delivers to each family who places their trust in us. We continue to be humbled by this trust and do our utmost to honour it with every piece of care and compassion that our staff family delivers every day.

Being seen is one of the most meaningful gifts we give our loved ones. After someone dies, families often find themselves searching for more than paperwork and photographs. They search for stories.

Sometimes grief reveals more than we expected. Sometimes grief brings more than absence. Sometimes it brings discovery.

Last weekend, our team had the honour of joining the Pilgrims Hospice Society for their annual Hike for Hospice fundraiser — alongside families, friends, and members of our community who understand, in their own way, what it means to carry loss.

Last night, our Park Memorial team gathered for a blood donor evening. Nine team members rolled up their sleeves — including three first-time donors — and gave something simple, yet profoundly powerful: time, compassion, and a small donation that has the potential to save lives.

It comes from a place of love. A desire to honour a wish, to keep things simple, to spare people the formality of a gathering they might not have wanted. And that impulse is not wrong. But there is something important that often goes unconsidered in that decision.

At Park Memorial, we often meet families at one of the most emotional moments of their lives. And while we are honoured to walk alongside them in their grief, there is one sentence we hear far too often.

The Christmas season is often filled with sound: the laughter of family gathered close, the hum of familiar carols, the gentle rustle of wrapping paper and tradition.
