We specialize in both traditional and cremation services, offering support and comfort during life’s most difficult moments. At Shanidar Funeral Services, we are proud to serve families with compassion, care, and respect across Rosetown, Outlook, and the surrounding communities, including Dinsmore, Elrose, Eston, Lucky Lake, Beechy, Elbow, Delisle, Swanson, and beyond. We are deeply committed to providing thoughtful, personalized support through every step of planning and remembrance. Shanidar Funeral Services is locally owned and operated by Colette Thompson, Funeral Director and Embalmer. Colette was born and raised in Regina and relocated to Saskatoon in 2019, continuing her dedicated career in the funeral profession. In February 2021, she and her partner Keith purchased Shanidar Funeral Services and moved to Rosetown. Colette has truly fallen in love with small-town living and is humbled by the kindness and trust shown by the communities they now call home. A proud mother of three grown daughters, Colette looks forward to continuing to serve the region for many years to come. Our team also includes Amanda Anderson, Funeral Director and Embalmer. Amanda was born and raised in Saskatoon and began her funeral service career after graduating from SIAST-Kelsey Campus. She moved to Rosetown in 2007, earned her full licenses in 2008, and has been part of the Shanidar team since 2016. In addition to her work with families, Amanda serves as an elected member of the Funeral and Cremation Services Council of Saskatchewan, helping guide the standards and licensing for funeral professionals province-wide. Amanda and her husband Neal are proud to call Rosetown home, where they raise their blended family of six amazing children. At Shanidar Funeral Services, we are honoured to walk with you during life’s most difficult moments, helping you celebrate the lives of those you love with dignity and care.
