Check out the original layout for Glen Eden Funeral Home and Cemetery back when it was the Riverside Cemetery circa 1915 - Main Street was still a dirt road!

The foundation for one of the original buildings (seen on the right side of the entry way) is still there as a sculpture and flower bed in the next photo (facing north).

Arbor Memorial purchased the land circa 1947 and it's been Glen Eden Cemetery ever since!

There are common pitfalls in life - passing away without your affairs in order is one of the most expensive and avoidable. It will be a priority for you at some point. The question is whether you decide to take action now or "some day, maybe".

Show your family you love them by protecting them from the inevitable expense and decisions that we will each face in life.
You'll never regret it.

Peace of mind is worth every penny.

You only have to prepare once.

Many people have questions about cremation and what their options are in terms of a final resting place. If you've ever noticed an urn on a mantle, this may resonate with you. The truth is, there are plenty of options available that will honor your loved one appropriately, and one day, yourself.

Here's a short video on some of those options available at Glen Eden, Glen Lawn, and Chapel Lawn in Winnipeg. If you'd like more information, pricing, or even a tour of our grounds, kindly send me a message and I'd be happy to get you started on the right foot.

The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago. The second best time is today.

Where you are financially today comes from the decisions you made 10 years ago.

Where you'll be in 10 years depends on the decisions you make today.

Make smart decisions today. Make a plan for the inevitable.

Action > Avoidance

These decisions aren't going away - they'll be inherited by your partner and your kids eventually. Take control and have a say as to how your loved ones say goodbye to you.

Nobody ever regrets making a plan for the inevitable and unfortunately, no amount of "thinking about it" or avoiding the topic will change that.

Know your options.
