Over the last nearly 20 years, the Gray family has helped families of Prince Albert through difficult times. Gray's Funeral Chapel opened in November 1993 with a long-term view to the future ahead and a lengthy history of business operation in the community backing it up.
Drew Gray, the original owner and operator of Gray's Chapel, was the third generation in his family to operate a business in Prince Albert and he credits the influence of his grandparents and his parents, friends and family in the success of his own enterprise.
Serving families at a stressful time is the central focus of Gray's Funeral Chapel. At any time, there's a licensed funeral director to talk to.
The business operation is designed to respond immediately upon receiving a call from a family, and to go forward from that moment to holding a service in only 3-4 days. The role of the funeral directors and staff is to co-ordinate and arrange as much as possible and as much as the family wishes, so as to take the burden off the family at this very difficult time.
Funeral arrangements are made through a dialogue with the family, rather than just taking orders. We lay out the options, so families can make an informed choice.
That choice includes cost. Any time that expense is involved, we will always offer the broadest range of cost options, with no high-pressure sales.
This way of doing business is in keeping with the family philosophy embraced by Gray's Chapel. The first priority is always service to those in a time of need and the business outlook is always toward the future.
We want families to feel satisfied with their experience and come back to Gray's the next time they need services.
Serving families today will maintain the success of Gray's Funeral Chapel into the future. We're here for the future as a premiere provider of funeral services for Prince Albert and area.
