Funeral Director and Embalmer in the province of British Columbia. Gerry
born and raised in Dawson Creek and is the son of Bob and Jessie Bergeron (both
deceased). Gerry’s family has been part of the Peace River district
since 1925 when grandfather A.J. Bergeron
(Mrs. Aimie Bergeron) moved from Grande Prairie, Alberta, to Rolla, B.C.
where he managed
the H. F
. Johnson store.
From there they moved
to Pouce
Coupe and purchased the F. Haskins Trading Co. store in 1937. The Bergeron
family members have
continued to live in this area ever since.
Gerry is married to Peggy and have two daughters, Sabrina and Anna.
They believe Dawson Creek is an excellent place to raise their family
and are pleased about having established a business which concentrates
on serving the community with integrity and compassion.

Peggy Bergeron (nee Johnson) with a degree in Education from the University
of Alberta, has fifteen years experience as an educator and has worked
along side Gerry as a funeral director since 1995. Peggy
was born in Dawson Creek, and is the daughter of Fred and May Johnson
of Cherry Point, Alberta (50 miles north of Dawson Creek) who are also
pioneers to this area. Her grandparents Jesse and Carolyn Johnson, early
Peace settlers operated a store in Cherry Point, Alberta. The majority
of Peggy's family are involved in the cattle and agriculture industries.
Along with being a funeral director Peggy has branched into working
as a ‘celebrant’ for families wanting to celebrate and honor
the life of their loved one within a non denominational or less traditional
style of service. Peggy has
found this to be very rewarding as
she works alongside
families to personalize a service that best honors
and pays tribute to that unique individual.
