Our New Website is Live!

Park Memorial • February 10, 2022

A new look and new features to better serve our community.

If you are reading this blog, you are visiting our brand new Park Memorial website that launched earlier this week. One of the new features that we are so proud of is this blog; we hope that you will find writings here that offer education, information, comfort, and support. We will be sharing relevant blogs from other experts and organizations, and we are even inviting our community to submit guest blog posts! 


This website has been a ‘labour of love’ for our team. It has been in development for over two years, its completion often delayed because of the pandemic and its demands on our organization. This is the first time that we have had website that is copyrightable, as all pieces (minus guest blogs which are transparently linked and marked as such) have been written internally by our team. 


We are so proud of our entire team who has had a thumbprint on this new site, especially our small team of graphic designers and writers who have driven the design, concept, flow, and content. Our hats are off to their creativity and hard work. 


Take a few moments to explore; we invite you to provide your comments and feedback via our comments section on this blog post. See something that resonates? Let us know! Have a topic or subject that you would like to see included in our blog or elsewhere on our website? Let us know! 


Thank you for being part of this milestone with us…

Becoming Curious While There Is Still Time

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.

When Winter Returns, We Still Walk

Comfort, Warmth & Care: Inside Our Recent Park Memorial Renovations

At Park Memorial, we believe the spaces where families gather to remember and honour a loved one should feel welcoming, comfortable, and cared for — in every season.

Giving a Little. Helping A Lot.

By Park Memorial • February 25, 2026
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.

When We Skip the Goodbye: Why Grief Needs a Place to Land

By Park Memorial • February 23, 2026
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.

Wills, Estates & Final Wishes

By Park Memorial • January 29, 2026
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.
