Kopan's Funeral Service

Kopan's Funeral Service (Please call for an appointment or to check if there is staff available) Funeral calls accepted 24/7. Our business was founded in 1999. Founded by Jason E.

A Tradition of Helping Others
“Sometimes it seems that the timeless tradition of neighbour helping neighbour becomes lost in daily life. But time and time again, when tragedy occurs in this community, we help our neighbours.”
At Kopan’s Funeral Service, that philosophy serves as the basis for everything we do. Since the very first day we have continued with our philosophy to be a reputable firm of funeral directors, and have been ready to help as a good neighbour. We offer our services in order to honour a life that has been lived, and to comfort those who grieve. The concept of "our family helping your family" has been reflected in the services that we offer, and in our professional, capable staff. Kopan in 1999 as one of Saskatchewan’s last licensed “Undertaker’s” along with long time associate, family friend, Licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer, Theodore L. Anderson they were joined in 2002 by Jason’s brother, Karl R. Kopan, Licensed Funeral Director. Throughout the years, the families we serve have found our efforts to be of great value in arranging funeral services that are most meaningful, and appropriate for those who remain, while incorporating the wishes of the person who has died. That is why we offer traditional, graveside and all cremation services that can be customized, and tailored to the wants, and desires of each family we serve while still maintaining the budgetary wishes of the family. To help familiarize people with funerals, the related decisions that must be made, and other aspects of our service before the need arises, we offer our "Funeral Seminar Program" as a free informational community service and likewise offer tours of our facilities to interested community groups. If we can be of assistance to you, or your community group, please let us know. We welcome the opportunity to be of service. As funeral directors, our calling imposes upon us special responsibilities to those we serve and to the public at large. An important obligation is to provide people with the information they need to make knowledgeable decisions about funerals, and funeral directors. Some of our Services: Funeral services, Cremation services, custom embalming & livery services, worldwide shipping/receiving of remains, casket sales & delivery, urn sales, granite & bronze monument sales, granite & marble monument cleaning & resetting, Justice of The Peace services, Notary Public services and Marriage Commissioner services, custom printing & memorial books, WATKINS Products, Pendleton Indian blankets & products, audio Bibles.

The flat deck/car hauler trailer from our funeral home was stolen over the weekend. It has the license plate bolted onto the back of the left fender with plate number 857 CHT. This trailer has the ramps that flip up at the back and what is distinguishing about them is that the ramps have expanded metal welded onto the face of the ramps. This trailer also has a few other distinguishing features that can help RCMP identify the trailer. If you have any idea who may have stolen this trailer or it's location please call the Yorkton RCMP at 306-786-2400.

I remember when funeral homes were owned by the families whose names were on the sign. I was fortunate enough to work during that era, back in the late 1900s 😉

You thought you knew who you were dealing with. You thought you knew where the money stayed. You thought you knew who was accountable.

Sometimes all that changes silently and the only thing that looks different is the branding, and even then maybe not for years after acquisition.

Same building. Same chapel. New ownership quietly entering behind the scenes.

Everything looks and seems the same. Until one day, the prices raise. Quotas are implemented. The people are replaced. The connections are lost.

If you’re planning ahead, or walking into a funeral home for the first time, ask the questions people don’t think to ask.

Ownership matters.
Especially here... and now.

If this made you pause, share it.
And if you’re planning ahead, ask the questions no one prompts you to ask.

The morning after someone dies in your home.

The neighbor doesn’t know yet.

The light still comes through the window the same way it always has.

The dust floats. Birds sing their thing. Coffee brews out of habit.

But everything is different.

This is the quietest morning you’ll ever experience because it's not quite peaceful, just hushed.

It feels like the world lowered its voice out of respect.

You’re aware of every sound, every creak, every breath you take without them.

There’s often guilt here.

For sleeping.

For laughing at a memory.

For noticing how beautiful the light is when someone you love is gone.

If this was your morning, you didn’t do it wrong.

This liminal space between presence and absence is part of grief.

It’s sacred, even when it feels unbearable.

Nothing needs to be rushed today.

You’re allowed to stand at the window a little longer.

We don’t talk enough about how deeply our elders are hurting.

So many seniors are living with depression, confusion, grief, loss of independence, dementia, fear, and an aching sense that their lives are no longer their own. Elderly people struggle more than we talk about. Their pain deserves to be acknowledged, not minimized as “just getting old.”

Yesterday, something heartbreaking happened on a bridge nearby. An elderly man who reportedly didn’t want to return to a nursing facility ended up in crisis. There was panic. There were first responders. There were people trying to help. And behind it all was a human being who was hurting.

Please check in on your elders.
Listen when they talk.
Notice changes.
Sit with them.
Remind them they matter.

Aging shouldn’t strip someone of dignity, purpose, or emotional care. Let’s do better for the people who once took care of us. 💚

On this First day of Hanukkah, we wish all those who are celebrating the festival of lights many blessings. 🕎

Hanukkah is a celebration of light that cannot be extinguished – of courage, faith, and the strength to stand firm even in the darkest of times.

May these days bring warmth, peace, and hope to every home. May the Hanukkah lights remind us of the value of life, dignity, and justice, and of the power of unity built on mutual respect.

Chag Urim Sameach
May you be enlightened in the darkness and be granted love and life.
