What we do to help Nation members

Funeral and Burial Services


Funerals can be a confusing time for many on the Nation. Here is a step-by-step guide to help all Nation members can use to ensure that their loved ones receive the most efficient care:


  • Nation members contact Siksika Nation Membership to acquire financial assistance to pay for the funeral.
  • Nation members will then contact a local funeral home i.e., Thoms Funeral Home, McInnis & Holloway etc. to arrange for funeral preparations.
  • Nation Members will then contact Siksika Nation Public Works to fill out a funeral agreement form. This form will ensure crews have all the information needed to prep for the funeral date.
  • Public Works requires that Nation members fill out and submit a funeral agreement form 48 hours in advance of funeral services. This will give crews adequate time to prepare for the funeral date.
  • Please note that non-Nation members will need to submit a request to Chief and Council for burial on the Nation.

Nation members are asked to please call in the office 48 hours in advance of funeral services so that crews have time to prepare.
