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.

August 30th was marked as National Grief Awareness Day, and while we missed the official calendar date, we reflect on this truth: grief doesn’t live on a calendar. It doesn’t circle one day in August or only come up during anniversaries and holidays.

My Dearest Daughter, as I write this letter, I can already feel the weight of my absence pressing upon you. There is so much I wish I could have told you, so many moments I wish I could have shared with you. But now, as you face the daunting task of being my Executor, I realize how much I have failed to prepare you for what lies ahead.

While the process can be complex and time-consuming, it is essential to approach it with warmth, empathy, and unwavering professionalism.
