Our Services

At George Darte Funeral Chapel Inc., we strive to help families honour those they love through top-quality funeral services that serve as an important first step in the grieving and healing process.

Whether clients opt for a customary religious service or a non-traditional celebration of life, we’re committed to providing first-class services with dignity, compassion and unmatched excellence.

There are nearly 100 decisions that must immediately be made when a loved one passes away, including whether to opt for burial or cremation, where the burial site will be, if there will be an open or closed casket, and if you would prefer to receive charitable donations in lieu of flowers.

It can be an overwhelming process during an already tremendously challenging time, but since our beginnings in 1911, we have worked to establish a tradition of trust.

We work one-on-one with each and every client to provide personalized burial, cremation and funeral services that help celebrate the lives of loved ones.

At George Darte Funeral Chapel Inc., we don’t believe in impersonal, universal services; your loved one deserves to be remembered in a special and unique way.

We offer:

Multi-Functional Facilities

Our facility provides multi-functional rooms that can be assembled in whatever way suits the needs of our grieving clients. Whether you wish to have a religious service, a non-traditional ceremony or a celebration of life, our venue will accommodate whatever decision you make.

A Variety of Unique Keepsake Items

Commemorative keepsake items can help those who are mourning during the difficult grieving process. From cremation jewelry to Thumbies (made from fingerprints of the deceased), our keepsake items are a wonderful way to honour and remember those no longer with us.

A Wide Selection of Caskets and Urns

Whether you’re seeking a traditional wooden casket or a personalized urn, we strive to offer a variety of options to suit your needs and to honour the deceased.
