McInnis & Holloway has been one of Calgary and southern
Alberta's most respected funeral homes since 1903.
Our focus has always been on providing sympathetic assistance
to families at a time of grief. We do that through highly
trained and professional staff,
and by delivering quality programs and services. McInnis
& Holloway Funeral Homes offer a full range of funeral
services. Many of our services are unique in Calgary - we
believe it's the special things that make the grief process
a little easier for families.

Memorial Tree Program.
If families wish, any family that was served by McInnis & Holloway, we plant a tree in memory of your loved one in one of our Memorial Forests either in Lafarge Wetlands in Fish Creek Provincial Park located in the south of Calgary or in our Fletcher Park Memorial Forest located in Airdrie, AB. The Memorial Forest® program offers a special way of memorializing a person who has died and provides families with a meaningful way to deal with a loss. For more detailed information view our Tree Program section on this site.
Embracing Calgary's cultural community.
- We're the specialists for providing unique and customized
services for families who want ethnic or religious Customs
and Traditions integrated into the funeral ceremony.
- Unique funeral customs outlined in our publication Customs
and Traditions in Times of Death and Bereavement written
by our Funeral Operations Manager, Kathy Cloutier.
- Our Eastside Memorial Chapel is architecturally designed
to accommodate multi-cultural families and their unique
needs.
Creating A Memorable Funeral Ceremony
- McInnis & Holloway offers ideas on making funeral
services more personal. Unique ideas and non-traditional
funeral rituals are outlined in our publication “Creating
A Memorable Funeral Ceremony” written by our Funeral
Operations Manager, Kathy Cloutier.
“Creating a Memorable Funeral Ceremony” was
developed when McInnis & Holloway Funeral Homes recognized
that grieving families were communicating a greater need
to express their grief. More often today, families and friends
are seeking ways of providing memorials that truly reflect
the personality and spirit of the person who has died. Tributes
that accurately reflect a person’s life bring additional
meaning to the funeral ceremony, and can also help friends
and family with the grieving process.
When the ceremony is over the family needs to be satisfied
that they have done their best to honour the life of their
loved one. We trust the information provided in “Creating
A Memorable Funeral Ceremony” will present the resources
necessary to create a living picture of the way a person
has spent their time on earth.

Advanced Planning Services
- Advanced Planning is the act of preparing in advance for
your funeral service. It can be as simple as writing your
wishes on paper and attaching them to your will, or contacting
a funeral home to discuss the many details surrounding the
funeral service, and paying for these services in advance.
For more detailed information please view our Advanced
Planning section on this site.
