Through more than a century of service this family focused funeral home has been paying respect to the past and the traditions that were built through four generations.
To this day they are dedicated to creating new and innovative services for the families who have entrusted them with honouring the lives of the ones they love. Joseph William Connelly immigrated, from Minnesota to Alberta’s Riviere Qui Bare area in 1904 with his wife, Isabelle.
On February 26, 1908, he established the first incorporated funeral company in Alberta. It was first situated at 212 McDougall Avenue (now 100th Street), just across from the old main post office.
Joseph opened Connelly-McKinley Funeral Home with the vision of offering grieving members of his community the comforts and caring of family in their time of need.
