"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."

Helen Keller

Welcome to Everest of Thunder Bay

 

We are pleased to providethis option to you and the families we are honoured to serve. Both the current services and past funerals entrusted to our firm since January 1, 2001 are listed here.
 
If you are unable to visit the funeral home, or if there is not a service planned, you can still be with the family in thought by signing the online guest book. Using the online condolences, you can also share special thoughts and messages, and your memorable recollections about the deceased. You can also place a memorial donation, send a floral tribute or be reminded of the anniversary of the death, from the convenience of your home or office computer.
