Peepeekisis Funeral Home – Honouring a Community Vision

Peepeekisis Cree Nation envisioned a space where loved ones could be honoured with dignity, cultural respect, and care, without having to leave their community. That vision became the foundation for a new, community-led funeral home that serves not only as essential infrastructure but as a powerful symbol of self-determination and healing.

Our Role

Our team worked closely with Peepeekisis from the ground up, providing end-to-end support for the planning, design, and launch of the funeral home:

​

  • Project Planning & Coordination: We supported the project’s execution, helping align timelines, budgets, and contractor coordination, ensuring the project stayed on track and community-led.

​

  • Architectural Design: We led the full design process, working with the Nation to create a space that is welcoming, functional, and rooted in cultural values and ceremony.

​

  • Geotechnical & Technical Planning: Our team coordinated the necessary site studies and assessments to ensure long-term structural integrity and environmental compatibility.

​​​

​

  • Launch Support & Storytelling: As the funeral home neared completion, we developed a visual storytelling campaign that included a powerful community video, drone footage, and messaging to honour the meaning of the space and share its importance with partners and future generations.
