Traditional funeral chapel setting at Pierson's in Calgary

Traditional Funeral Services

Visitation, chapel or church ceremony, and burial arrangements from our Forest Lawn funeral home.

A traditional funeral in Calgary usually includes visitation with the deceased present, a formal ceremony, and a cemetery committal. At Pierson's on 17 Avenue SE, families from Forest Lawn, International Avenue, and across the city use this structure when they want a familiar, public farewell before burial.

Our directors coordinate preparation and presentation, music and readings, the procession, and graveside timing with local cemeteries. You can hold the ceremony in our chapel, a place of worship, or another venue that fits your faith and culture. Caskets are available across styles and price points; we explain inclusions so you know what the package covers.

  • Family viewing or public visitation scheduled around your needs
  • Ceremony in our International Avenue chapel, a church, or another location
  • Casket selection with clear pricing — no pressure to upgrade
  • Graveside or cemetery committal arranged with Calgary-area cemeteries
