The Memorial Grove


The Blake Funeral Chapel Memorial Grove is located on the Neebing McIntyre Floodway, beginning at the mouth of the Neebing River, and moving west from that point following the river along its banks as far as the Lakehead Regional Conservation Authority's property extends.

The Grove began in 1990, at which time the initial service of dedication was held. During the dedication service, the memory of all those families who had been served by the Blake Funeral Chapel were memorialized, and each year following, a similar service has taken place to ensure everyone is remembered. Everyone is welcome to attend.


If anyone wishes, a tree may be purchased through the Blake Funeral Chapel. The name of the person to be remembered is entered on our memorial register, which is permanently displayed at the Blake Funeral Chapel. The person's name will be included in the list of those who will be remembered at our dedication service. This list will be published prior to the service so the public will be aware of all those who have been included in our Grove.


NO cost is incurred by those families with whom Blake's have made funeral arrangements. For the general public, the cost of a tree is $55.00, payable to the Lakehead Conservation Foundation. A tax deductible receipt will be issued. Blake's will be pleased to look after these arrangements. The Authority will be responsible for selecting the species of trees and the designated area for planting.

Each time a tree is planted, a new life begins...

The annual planting of our Memorial Grove contributes to the beautification of our community and memorializes the lives of many loved ones.
