Our caring funeral and cremation service has been serving with quiet dignity since 1893. Or you can hold a memorial ceremony after the cremation.
Canale Tonella Funeral Home and Cremation Services has been in business for over 100 years. With their experienced staff and successful business, they guarantee satisfaction with each customer they serve. If you are not satisfied with the appearance of your loved one after the body has been prepared, the additional charges will be deducted from your final statement. You can count on the funeral ho
me to provide customized services to fit the personality of the deceased. Canale Tonella Funeral Home and Cremation Services offers many funeral services, from traditional funeral services with graveside ceremonies to cremations. You may choose to have a viewing or visitation before the funeral so that family and friends can visit the open casket and pay their final respects. Direct cremation is cremation without a service and is an economical choice. Families can gather on their own time to scatter the ashes in an intimate setting. The benefit of a memorial service is that you do not have an urgent timeline with a body to bury. You can meet together at the convenience of your family. A life celebration is an alternative option that is more casual in nature. You can play music and dance and have a party to celebrate a life well-lived. Whichever option you choose, know that your loved one will be respectfully honored. If you have a need for Veterans Services or Military Honors, the funeral home provides those services. Canale Tonella Funeral Home and Cremation Services helps families in Marquette, Gwinn, Ishpeming, Negaunee, Big Bay, Little Lake, Skandia, Republic, Michigamme, and Munising. You can find all funeral products available for purchase, including memorials, vaults, urns, caskets, keepsake jewelry, and permanent memorialization. Green burial options can be selected for the environmentally conscious. Ask the team about grief resources to provide you with reading material and group meet-ups with people going through a similar mourning process. For pre-need funeral services where you can record your end-of-life preferences or an immediate need, call Canale Tonella Funeral Home and Cremation Services.

At Canale Tonella Funeral Home our mission is to provide exceptional service at an affordable cost.
When you have experienced the loss of a loved one, you can trust us to guide you through the arrangements necessary to create a meaningful ceremony that celebrates the unique life being honored. Our staff is committed to providing your family with the highest quality care and service in your time of need, and we take pride in our responsibility to lighten your burden as you take the first steps toward healing.
Our emphasis is to create a meaningful, respectful funeral service that is custom fit to each family's individual wants, needs and budget. A funeral is a service of worth, a rite of passing, a ceremony for those one leaves behind to afford them a chance to say good-bye while remembering and celebrating the importance of a life that has been lived.
When planning a service, it's helpful to think of the unique qualities of the recently deceased and create a service that honors those traits. It can help to make lists of passions, achievements and memories you shared. A personalized funeral will be memorable and provide a feeling of closure knowing that the life your loved one has been truly celebrated.
Our duty as a funeral home is to provide you and your family with professional and dignified assistance during your time of need and to support you in honoring your loved one. If you are preparing for a conference with our funeral directors, start filling out your paperwork in advance. We also have great resources for planning future services.
