We also support the tradition that gives relief from the stress of handling them. We provide transportation for those who need it to remote locations for traditional Winnipeg services if necessary. Understanding tradition and culture during times of loss is paramount for us. We are also proud to have the expertise and flexibility needed for each community to allow them to continue with this by creating a healthy atmosphere that allows them to cope with the loss. This proves that it’s not easy to adjust to a loss of a near and dear person. We have guitars and elders who know how to play them, as we encourage families to bring their musical instruments and songs as this is part of their native culture. Smudge boxes are also available, including sweetgrass, tobacco, and cedar. Burial clothes such is suits, tuxedos, and handmade white dresses can be provided upon request.
