As early as the 1970's, people in South Eastern Manitoba were seeing the need for funeral home alternatives. Since near monopoly situations existed in some centers, costs for services were rising fueled increasingly by corporations that were taking over the usual family oriented funeral homes. What better way to take on the challenge of big business and profit motives than to provide an alternative in the form of a funeral Co-op. Birchwood received its charter on January 14, 1997. Within a year nearly 2000 memberships were sold and by May 1998 our million-dollar facility was fully operational. Everyone in the South East and Winnipeg can now enjoy a complete range of funeral services at lower costs.
