Facilities
The recently renovated Cook Southland Funeral Chapel facility is unmatched in our city. Conveniently located one block from Hillside Cemetery, our facility is easily found and eliminates a lengthy procession to the cemetery. With our own Reception Facility, we have the ability to provide a comfortable chapel for a service and the convenience of hosting the reception without leaving our facility. Our funeral home is also one level, making it friendly and wheelchair accessible.
Chapel Facility
Our spacious chapel was recently constructed to enhance our facility. It was uniquely designed to comfortably accommodate both large (250 seats) and small services. In addition to this, an area with video feed for overflow seating for up to 150 is also available. With flexible, removable seating, we have the ability to either increase or decrease seating to meet the needs of each family. For mothers with newborns, we have thoughtfully created a viewing area where parents can tend to the needs of little ones.
In addition, our chapel is technically equipped with state of the art audio and video equipment. Whether it be a video tribute or webcasting the service, our chapel can surely meet the technical needs that are most often requested by families.
Crematorium
Cook Southland Funeral Chapel is the only funeral home in Medicine Hat that has an “on site” crematorium. This allows for efficiency and flexibility for families that may wish to witness the cremation or require the cremated remains in a timely manner.
An onsite crematorium also provides comfort in knowing that loved ones remain in our care at all times; transfers to a separate facility are not necessary.
Reception Facility
Cook Southland Funeral Chapel is the only funeral home in Medicine Hat that has a formal on site Reception Facility to better service families. The Reception Facility is tastefully decorated and can comfortably accommodate 125 guests. This facility is adequately equipped with audio and visual equipment for sharing memories or playing a video tribute during the reception.
Reflections Reception Facility
Cook Southland Funeral Chapel is proud to offer families our newly renovated, stand-alone reception facility - Reflections. Times have changed and so have the traditions in honouring life. In recognition of those changes, we felt it necessary to provide a convenient, relaxed, welcoming space where families can unite, friends can gather and fellowship can be had. Along with fabulous food, for those family and friends who may want to raise a glass and offer a toast or have a casual, social libation while honouring life, Reflections is the new facility in town to do just that!
