It's that time of year when monuments come to the forefront as it's nearly time for installations to begin. Our staff at Baker Funeral Chapel can help you with planning, designing and ordering a monument for the cemetery.

Did you know that you can get monuments that incorporate the cremated remains in the base rather than being buried in the ground? Perhaps a local country cemetery would allow this as an alternate option to burying the urn.

If you'd like more information on any monument, please email bakerch@telus.net or call the office.

Baker Funeral Chapel welcomes a new member to their staff. Daisy’s start date will likely be January 26 or so. We appreciate our communities so much in loving our furry staff members as much as we do, and we beg for your patience, forgiveness and snuggles soon. She has a lot to learn but a lot of love to offer. 💗 🌼

Prearranging for yourself or a loved one, can help to alleviate difficult decisions at an emotionally vulnerable time.

Meeting with our Pre-Need Specialist, Diane Lane, you will discuss service options, thoughts and any special requests you may have. Your wishes would be documented and a file would be maintained at our office. At any time, your plans can be updated or changed. It's easy for us to keep up-to-date plans which creates ease for your family or executor in the future.

Pre-paying is an option which can be discussed as well. This decision can help to secure our rates at today's cost, if that is the goal. However there is zero obligation to do anything financially in advance.

If you have any questions about pre-planning your funeral wishes, or wish to set up an appointment, please call 780-352-2501.
