  • Prairie Rose Cremation & Funeral Services

    Prairie Rose Cremation & Funeral Services was founded to provide Airdrie, with affordable, dignified, and inclusive options to honour and remember a loved one who has passed. With over 25 years of experience providing compassionate and mindful guidance, we have refined our process to ease the stress and uncertainty of making final arrangements for a loved one. Our model of service places families first within the context of the communities that support them.

    Our process could include meeting where families wish to facilitate easy and convenient planning, and the flexibility to help you coordinate the service that will be most meaningful to your family. We focus on options for burial and cremation that allow families to honour and respect their loved one as they see fit. We believe that every family is unique, and our tailored services are designed to meet your family's needs. The amount of money that is spent on a funeral is in no way indicative of how much you loved that person.
