ABOUT US
Our Caring Staff
When a funeral goes smoothly, it is not by accident or good luck, but because no detail has been overlooked. Every team member has been highly schooled in every aspect of service with excellence.

Everything possible is done to make certain each funeral meets the demanding standards that have singled out Burquitlam Funeral Home since 1964 as the family funeral home of choice for thousands of families.
Rob joined the Officer Training Program in 1989 with the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario. In 1993 he graduated with his funeral director and embalmer license, the same year he purchased Burquitlam Funeral Home. Rob is a second-generation funeral director who is proud to continue the family tradition.
When he and his wife Tammy aren't busy looking after their 4 kids, 2 cats, and one dog you can find them ballroom dancing at the Arthur Murray Dance Studio.
Being the son of an Anglican church minister it was fitting that Steve began his career in funeral service as an apprentice in 1986 in Prince George, British Columbia.

If he is not in the office you can find him at Whistler tempting fate and injury snowboarding, skiing, or mountain biking with his son Tyson.
