Welcome to Connelly-McKinley Funeral Homes
At Connelly-McKinley Funeral Homes and Crematorium, our paramount goal and mission since 1908 is to ensure that we put your family first above all else.
What is important to you, is critical to us.
We are dedicated to providing every family with an exceptional level of personalized service to ensure the type of final goodbye will be as unique as your loved one.
We take our time to get to know the life of the one who has died and what you will require to create a service reflecting their memory and bring you comfort and hope.
Families need to create healing moments after loss, to confirm the value of a life well-lived; to reflect on the relationships shared, and begin to restore emotional equilibrium.
We are uncompromising and dedicated in helping you discover the perfect way to pay tribute to your loved one. It could be steeped in tradition, wonderfully unique; or anything in between.
President

Through more than a century of service this family focused funeral home has been paying respect to the past and the traditions that were built through four generations.

I would like to thank Rachael, Pamela, Lily, Aylish, and the entire team. Our father recently passed away and we chose the Connelly-McKinley funeral home to assist us in managing all of the necessary arrangements. We were helped every step of the way. There is so much to do following the death of a loved one and the grief can be overwhelming. Connelly-McKinley was also able to assist us with flowers, the power point tribute, the reception, and catering. We have peace knowing that we were able to honour and celebrate the life of our father in a way that he would have been proud of.
Kim Bosman of Calgary, AB
Our family thanks Taylor and the all staff at Connelly-McKinley for the grace, professionalism and compassion they provided to all our family during the preparation and completion of funeral service and internment. The after-care review and meeting with Patricia was very helpful in aiding the executors with the filing of government forms and other matters. We highly recommend Connelly-McKinley to any other families dealing with the passing of a loved one.

The Bussiere Family served by Jenna
Dear Mr. Connelly, I just wanted to take this opportunity to express, on behalf of the Jones family, our appreciation for the professional and compassionate care shown to us by Funeral Director and Embalmers Paul Coyle and Tanya Baker. Their patience and communication throughout, what, in our particular circumstance, was an extremely trying and turbulent experience, made all the difference indeed. Having to make all of the arrangements remotely, one is kind of taking a gamble with choosing a funeral arrangement. Have I chosen wisely? Doing the necessary online search for the best service in the area, Connelly-McKinley's name consistently appeared on top, and now we know why! Once again, thank you so much for helping us through these trying times. Steve Jones et fam.
The Jones Family served by Paul and Tanya

The family of Jessica Metcalfe would like to sincerely thank Connelly-McKinley Southside for supporting us to ensure we had a memorable celebration of life for our daughter on June 8, 2019. We would especially like to express our deepest gratitude to Funeral Director Assistant Sherry Clark for walking with us every step of this sometimes confusing, often emotional journey of planning a service for a loved one. Her compassion, empathy and professionalism carried us through making decisions about the obituary, memorial pamphlet, food, slideshow and oh so many more details. Sherry did a wonderful job of setting up the displays we provided her with the day before the service so we didn't want to change a thing. On Sherry's recommendation we got Pam Kane, videographer, to compile the slideshow for us. She did an amazing job and we are so very happy with the intuition she used to when she put the pictures and the music together. We would also like to sincerely thank Funeral Director Tanya Baker for being so accommodating to us, touching base with us in the family room regularly to let us know what was happening outside (waiting for all guests to arrive), being so gentle and kind the day of the service as she guided us through the day. During such a difficult time it meant everything to have these caring people help us navigate a very sad event. Sincerely, The Black and Zielke Families
The Family of Jessica Metcalfe

My family and I would like to thank everyone at Connelly-McKinley - Southside. My husband Denis' memorial was on Sunday May 5/19 and everything went beautifully. We would like to especially thank Tanya, our Funeral Director, for walking our family through this very sad time with such compassion and care. We appreciate her expertise and everything she did before and on the day of, the little things like making sure our baby granddaughter's diaper bag was given to her caregiver. Tanya went above and beyond, helping where ever she could and was always there for us. We are so grateful to our Celebrant, Yvonne. She has a gift that she shared with us that day. She spoke of Denis like a friend she had known for years. We would also like to thank Sandra at Mayfair Flowers downtown for the amazing floral arrangements and bouquets. Sandra was so kind, welcoming and really listened to what we envisioned. There were so many wonderful comments to us about the gorgeous flowers from our guests. The luncheon and staff were outstanding as well. This was uncharted territory for our family and we are so thankful for everyone that helped us through such a difficult time.

Funeral went really smooth, everything was anticipated. We did not have to worry about anything.
The Verbeek Family served by Judy
Food was really good at the reception. The funeral was handled really well - we did not have to do much, just show up. The Aftercare program was a real help. Now I know what I still need to do.
The Stang Family served by Tom and Judy
The staff and memorial cards were very good. The floral arrangements were very nice. It was a very good experience and always easy to get hold of Casey-Lee. She always had time to talk. Everything was handled in a fine way. Aftercare was very valuable.
The Pollard Family served by Casey-Lee and Judy
Everything was handled so professionally. The Aftercare was so helpful, before it I felt like a fish out of water.
