Serving families is our passion, our commitment and our expertise. Whether you’re planning a funeral or cremation service for a loved one, or making your own arrangements in advance, meaningful life celebrations begin with Dignity Memorial’s compassionate funeral and event planners.

For Dignity Memorial providers, there is no greater honour than helping to remember a life lived. We are dedicated, local professionals committed to getting every detail right, every time. We do this by listening, caring and guiding each and every family who walks through our doors. It’s why we’ve become a trusted part of the communities we serve and why families consistently give us 5-star ratings for exceptional care.

Barton & Kiteley Chapel provides funeral, memorial and celebration of life ceremonies to the Sault Ste. Marie community and surrounding areas. We conduct services for families of all cultural and religious backgrounds. We are centrally located and honoured to serve families throughout the Algoma District.

Our staff is the largest funeral home team in the area, with the most combined years of experience. We are dedicated to assisting with all of your funeral needs. We are proud to be among the few companies that received the J.D. Power President’s Award for our commitment to customer satisfaction in 2016.

We care about Sault Ste. Marie
Our community involvement reaches approximately 100 areas with staff memberships in different service clubs and organizations. We not only work during normal business hours, we spend many hours out in the Sault Ste. Marie community and surrounding areas, supporting events, serving on boards and providing education. Our associates participate with the Masons, Eastern Star, YMCA, MS Society, Alzheimer’s Society and many others.

Here are a few more ways we make a positive impact on the community:

We sponsor Rotary Club of Sault Ste. Marie, including the Rotaryfest, Easter Seals Telethon and Thrive Child Development Centre.

For more than 20 years, we’ve decorated a Christmas tree to raise money for the Algoma Lung Association at its Festival of Trees. The decorated trees are auctioned off in late November, and each tree typically raises around $1,500 for the cause.

For Operation Christmas Child, we collect shoeboxes from community partners, businesses and schools with useful items to be given to less fortunate children, so those kids can celebrate the holidays.

We’re regulars at The Soo Sings for Kids. Each year, our team competes in a song and dance competition. The winner gets $5,000 to donate to the charity of their choice. Our charity is the Jumpstart Charity via the Canadian Tire Association. We regularly place in the top three.

We have sponsored and participated in the Bon Soo Winter Carnival for many years.

We sponsor a program to help combat teenage drinking deaths with PARTY (Preventing Alcohol Related Trauma in Youth). The program sends guest speakers to high schools to promote its “contract for life” idea. Additionally, we participate and sponsor the Sweet Life Roadshow—an interactive experience to raise awareness among teens about road risks and show simple strategies for staying safe on the road.

We participate in the Lions Club Rose Day, delivering roses to nursing homes and other members of the community.

People on our staff also coach and help support local ringette teams. Our funeral home has sponsored Arthur’s Angels for more than 20 years.

We have had the privilege to sponsor a family suite at the new Usi Koti part of the Ontario Finnish Resthome. The suite gives family members a comfortable environment to stay near their loved ones for a visit or when attending to a loved one who has passed.

We are involved with the Military Support Group, assisting with bringing fallen servicemen and servicewomen home for final arrangements.

We also help with many other community programs: Gideons, 100 Women/Men Who Care, Algoma University, Community Living Algoma, Heart & Stroke, Cancer Society, Algoma Family Services, Cub Scouts, Soup Kitchen and others.

We’ve been a member of the Chamber of Commerce for more than 60 years.
