The Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre
Sixty years ago, Mr. Bailey was the manager of Canada’s first cemetery-based funeral home, in Winnipeg. The Family Centre, designed to provide families with maximum convenience and comfort at a time of need, fulfills a dream Mr. Bailey had since establishing Bailey’s Funeral Home and taking over Yorkton Memorial Gardens in 1963.
Since coming to Yorkton, Mr. Bailey’s dedication to community, innovative leadership and service with compassion have made Bailey’s the preferred funeral service provider in the area.
The Family Centre houses a crematorium, an indoor columbarium, a chapel and reception area, and the cemetery offices. It is located within the park-like setting of the cemetery just east of Yorkton.
“The Family Centre provides a convenient and comfortable location where the funeral service, the burial or entombment, and a reception or family gathering can be held, relieving family and friends of having to travel to various locations during a difficult time”, Mr. Bailey explains.
The Family Centre will also house the funeral home’s extensive resource library, available to the public. It will be a second Yorkton location for the funeral home, which will also maintain its longtime facilities at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Smith Street.
Mr. Bailey was joined in the planning for the new Family Centre by his wife Colleen, sons Boyd, Burton and Raymond, and their dedicated long-term staff of Dean Petersen, Murray Bialobzyski, and Larry German.
