History

Established in 1986.

Hamre's Funeral Chapel was originally Reynars Funeral Home. Ric Hamre purchased the business in 1986 from his father Ernie who operated the company out of Dawson Creek. Ric is the first funeral director to own a funeral home in Fort St. John as well as live in the community he serves. Hamre's Funeral Chapel is also the only full service facility in the community. The building has been expanded a number of times to meet the needs of a growing city and is once again expanding and now has the first and only operating crematorium in Fort St. John. Hamre's Funeral Chapel is honoured to be of service to the families of Fort St. John, Fort Nelson and the surrounding areas for over two decades. Their highly trained staff is committed to be there for you and your family if their assistance is needed.
