About Us
Family-owned with local roots.

Caring For Each As Our Own
Our Story
Our Founder Doug Friesen was born and raised in Grande Prairie. During his experience as a Funeral Director, he became increasingly aware of the changing needs and expectations of the Peace Country and its families. With a commitment to a high standard of care of individuals, families, and the community as a whole, he and his wife Eunice founded Bear Creek Funeral Home.
We have set out to provide a genuine, family-centered funeral service option for families seeking compassionate and personal service with exceptional value.
