Our Philosophy

We believe there is no other service that requires as much commitment to pleasing the customer as ours does. When you plan a funeral, you want everything to be perfect, and we believe it should be: as a final tribute to a person much loved, everything should be carried out according to your wishes. We understand the importance of selecting the right flowers and the right music, readings from favourite texts, and using the services of a preferred clergy person and funeral director. After all, these final memories will be cherished for a lifetime.

But while we believe every service should be perfect, that’s not to say that any two services should be exactly alike. After all, no two people are the same, why should their services be?

At Memories Chapel, we understand that it’s a person’s individuality and unique qualities that make him or her special. As a final tribute to someone dearly loved, a funeral should reflect the person being remembered. If that means conducting the service at lakeside, or having a soloist sing a special song, so be it. Whatever the request, we believe that the answer should always be yes. The service should reflect the life of the person being remembered, and tradition can be whatever you make it.

Our Pledge To Serve

Sometimes life gives us fair warning of the passing away of a loved one, and allows us to prepare ourselves for the event. At other times, however, life can catch us off our guard and leave us immobilized with grief and a terrible sense of loss.

If arranging a funeral during your time of mourning becomes a burden, we can help. We’re prepared to take care of each and every detail, if necessary, from flowers to reception, from cemetery plot to soloist. If you don’t want to be troubled with the details at a difficult time, leave them to us, that’s what we’re here for.

We take pride in our commitment to instill in every service a sense of dignity, compassion, and respect. Our goal is to make your difficult time a little bit easier.

Memories Chapel

When the directors of Memories Chapel set out to build their new funeral home in 1998, they drew upon their combined fifty years of service to their community to put together a facility that would meet the needs of the area, both today and in the years to come.

Memories Chapel and facilities are located at 330 - 18th Street North in Brandon, Manitoba. Our facilities are wheelchair accessible with everything located on one level for easy access to everyone. Our location is also easy for out-of-town friends to locate with a spacious parking area and a covered concourse for family parking.

One of our goals in creating a new funeral home was to create an environment where those who come through our doors feel comfortable and well cared for. We believe we have accomplished this through our experienced staff and beautifully decorated facility.

The large chapel area has seating for 200 friends and family members, and can be expanded to accommodate up to 250 (in the overflow area).

We also have a beautifully decorated reception facility for gatherings or luncheons (prepared in our modern kitchen by our catering service) following the service.

Our main reception area is decorated with antique furniture and a gas fireplace, and allows for friends and family to gather in a comfortable environment.

We have a private visitation room for viewing, with comfortable seating, with the flexibility of making the area separated for those who wish to come and mourn with the family but do not wish to be part of the viewing.

We have two separate conference rooms that have seating around charming antique tables for consultations or gathering of the family for prayers or time of respite prior to the service.
