Why Choose Bow Valley Funeral Service
Local ownership for Canmore, Banff, and the mountain corridor — clear guidance when it matters most.
Bow Valley Funeral Service exists for families along the mountain corridor — Canmore, Banff, Exshaw, Harvie Heights, and neighbouring communities. We know how people live here: close towns, seasonal visitors, and relatives who may need to travel in from Calgary or farther. Our job is to make the next steps plain, calm, and workable.
We carry forward the work of Russ Reynolds and Bow River Funeral Service. As a division of Pierson's Funeral Service of Calgary, we keep a local presence while drawing on the resources of a family-owned Canadian network — transfers, paperwork, and service details handled without you having to juggle three phone books.
100% Canadian owned. 100% family owned. You will get straight answers on options and cost, dignified care of your loved one, and room to decide without a sales pitch.
