About us

Neighbours first.
A group behind them.

The Caring Group is a family of locally operated funeral homes across Western Canada — each one run by people who live where you live, with the steadiness of a group behind them.

Who we are

The Caring Group is the name behind the name on the door.

Every one of our funeral homes trades under its own name — Martin Brothers in Lethbridge, Eden’s in the foothills, Athabasca Community Chapel in the north. The people who answer the phone are the people you will meet at the door, and most of them have lived in that town for years.

Behind each of them is The Caring Group: a privately owned Western Canadian company of funeral service professionals. We provide the resources, the training and the reliable network that let a small-town home offer everything a family might need, without losing what makes it local.

Our oldest home has served its community since 1907. Across the group, more than a century of families have entrusted us with their stories, and we treat that as the privilege it is.

What we stand for

Trust. Leadership. Confidence.

Trust

Families choose us; we never assume it. Every conversation, every cost and every choice is set out plainly, so trust is earned in the open.

Leadership

We lead by looking after people well — our families, our neighbours and the directors who serve them — and by setting a standard others can rely on.

Confidence

A steady hand when it matters. Families know what happens next, what it costs and who is looking after them, from the first call onward.

Our promise

There is no hurry. We will move at whatever speed suits your family.

More than a century of families have trusted our homes with their stories. It remains a privilege.

Funeral homes, Alberta to the coast

Each one trades under its own name and is run by people who belong to that community.

24/7

Every day of the year

We are available 24/7, 365 days a year. When you call, a person answers.

The people

People you will recognise.

Our directors coach the hockey team, sit on the church board and know which coffee shop opens earliest. When a family calls, they are often calling someone they already know.

Every one of them is licensed, and every one of them can draw on colleagues across the group — for a second opinion, an unusual request or simply an extra pair of hands on a busy week.
