Peepeekisis Cree Nation, Treaty 4 Territory, Lorlie, Saskatchewan - Indigenous Services Canada
Today, community members and leaders of Peepeekisis Cree Nation held a ground-breaking ceremony to mark the beginning of the construction phase of the Peepeekisis Funeral Home, developed by Peepeekisis Developments LTD. The funeral home will provide a safe space for mourning and celebration, where traditions and cultural practices are respected and honoured.
The custom-built facility, spanning over 9500 square feet, will offer a variety of services and products, including cremation, caskets, video tributes, obituary writing, and more.
Indigenous Services Canada provided $1 million in funding to this project through the Community Opportunity Readiness Program (CORP) to support the development, construction, and operation of the new funeral home business.
The facility is expected to open in early 2026.
