 Gerry and Peggy BergeronBergeron Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd. located in Dawson Creek, British Columbia is family owned and operated by Gerry and Peggy Bergeron which opened October 1994.
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.
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.
Carol Loney, M.A., RPC. MPCP. Gerry and Peggy recognized a need for after care within the communities and have hosted many grief support and care giver seminars as well as ongoing grief support groups. Since coming on staff with Bergeron’s Carol has taken over the ‘aftercare’ program facilitating group, private grief support, and sends out support material to families as needed. Carol is a ‘Celebrant’ when needed and finds it very fulfilling to help families develop meaningful services to celebrate and honor their loved . Betty Hanston, Office Manager Bergeron Funeral Services have served the Peace country with integrity and compassion for over 10 years as a family reaching out to help others. Betty and Peggy as sisters, look forward to continuing this commitment to family service. |

Gerry Bergeron has over 22 years in the funeral industry as a certified
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.
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.
Daughter, wife,
mother, grandmother, and mentor is a gifted teacher and counsellor. Her
passion is (and has been for many years) to encourage men and women to
develop their God-given potential in the roles they choose to embrace.
Carol supports and empathically encourages hurting people to “…find
their voices” in
creating, nurturing, and sustaining healthy and fulfilling relationships.
Using drama, role-playing, spiritual teaching, and examples from her
own life, she brings an enthusiasm and wisdom to the exploration of who
we are which empowers and uplifts in life-changing ways.
Gerry and Peggy are pleased to introduce
Betty Hanston as a member to their staff. She worked in the
insurance business for over 14 years before joining us full time as office
manager and is a great addition to our service. Betty and her husband
Jim are long time residents of Dawson Creek and have two daughters, Kyla
and Melissa. Betty is very active in the community especially at
the local curling club.
