Our history began on June 8, 1908, when Charles Johnson opened a funeral home on the corner of Maple Avenue and 2nd Street S.E. During the 1920’s, he purchased the Bridgeman Funeral Home located in the 500 block of 3rd Street downtown. In 1931, Charles Pattison and his brother-in-law, Carman Wilson, responded to an ad in the Canadian Funeral Director Magazine and moved from Ontario with a 1928 Studebaker Hearse to purchase the funeral business and attached residence. One year later, Charles assumed sole ownership of the firm and shortened the name to the Pattison Funeral Home. The Leonard home on the corner of 2nd Street and 5th Avenue was acquired in 1936, and after renovations this became both the Pattison Home as well as the funeral home. During 1946, Gordon Anderson moved from Edmonton to complete his apprenticeship with Charles Pattison. On July 1, 1957, Gordon Anderson became the new owner but retained the longstanding good name. After several renovations, and the acquisition of three adjacent lots, Gordon built a new funeral home behind the old one before demolishing the old Leonard home. On the firm’s 65th Anniversary in 1972, this new building was opened. On May, 1976, Derek and Leslee Martin purchased the Pattison Funeral Home, and 10 years later, Gregg & Derek Martin Jr. Our latest chapter began on November 30. 1994, when fire completely destroyed the building at 480 2nd Street S.E. After as much planning and dreaming as was possible this building was opened in September 1995. With 87 years behind us, we designed the building to serve the needs of the people in this area well into the next century.

You can’t redo a funeral. That reality is always at the forefront of our minds. Every detail matters, because every family deserves nothing less than perfect care.

The weight of that responsibility is immense, but it’s also what drives us. At Pattison, excellence isn’t something we aim for—it’s something we deliver. This isn’t just our profession—it’s our calling.

Our Funeral Directors offer specialized knowledge about death benefits, funeral benefits, survivor’s pensions, and pre-planning.

If you have questions about how to afford a funeral, give us a call at 403 526 2214.

The cost of funerals is steadily climbing and life insurance won’t cover the cost of a funeral up-front. Interest on a savings account won’t keep up with the cost of inflation. That’s why we are passionate about pre-planning education.

It’s not just about planning for your services, it’s about planning for your family’s financial peace of mind.

If you’d like to know more, contact us at 403 526 2214.

Angel

Tear drops, slow and steady, The pain so real and true, God took another angel, And that angel, dear, was you.

Angel wings, upon the clouds, Your body softly sleeps, Hush now little angel, No more tears you have to weep.

Little prayers are sent to you, The short life you led; Your family will never forget you, So rest your little head.

I know God will look after you, Now you are truly alive, Your spirit soars beyond the moon, Your legacy will survive.

You’re beautiful, you’re endless, Now stretch your wings and fly, You’re loved by so many, It will never be goodbye.

Close your pretty eyes, No more tears, just go and rest, Let your soul lie peacefully, We know you did your best.

We believe that every corner of a funeral home should be clean, welcoming, and comfortable for the families we serve.

We take great pride in presenting a facility where families are never distracted by dust on a baseboard or scuffs on the wall. Why? Because at the most delicate moments, details matter.

Green Burial is a modern response to society’s growing impact on the natural world. To lower the carbon footprint of a funeral, green burials utilize organic and biodegradable materials at all stages, including decedent care and the burial itself.

If you have questions about green burials, call 403 526 2214 to speak with one of our funeral directors.
