Our History
The Heritage of Our Family Funeral Home in Manitoba
In the beginning... by Eirik Bardal
The History of our Funeral Home
My great grandfather ( long afi ) AS. Bardal started in the funeral business in 1894 after selling his transport business. He was joined in the business by his brother Paul and later by his four sons Njall Sr. (my Grandfather), Karl, Gerry and Paul. The firm incorporated in 1950 with six Bardal’s as director’s. In 1969, Neil Bardal Jr. (my father) and David Pritchard bought the funeral home and became partners. They worked together for 10 years and parted ways in 1979.
In 1980, My parents Neil and Annette Bardal decided to open a funeral home in my Father’s name and continue the Bardal families traditions. Neil Bardal Inc. was incorporated on June 6, 1980. On that day, they received two calls regarding a death and began their journey as a funeral company. They responded to people's needs by dealing with the passing of a loved one in a caring and professional manner.
Our market share largely consisted of the church community of Winnipeg and the good folk of the neighbourhood known as the West End of Winnipeg, the community where my dad grew up.
Mom and dad purchased Brooklawn Crematorium in 1982 and renamed it NBI Cremation Services. This is where the cremations, embalming and removals are centered.
A major expansion in 2008 saw the addition of a 'Great Room' for services, receptions and community events. The expansion made us a full-service funeral company that offers quality facilities and more importantly, capable and compassionate staff.
Neil Bardal Funeral Centre is independently owned and operated by the Bardal Family. We are located at 3030 Notre Dame Avenue, across from Brookside Cemetery. Our facilities have been described as "contemporary" because when families walk through our doors, they are greeted by helpful, caring staff in a comfortable setting.
A Funeral Home Manitoba Families Trust
We truly believe that our greatest strength is the people in our company. Our directors bring their own expertise and personality to their profession and in many ways have developed their own clientele over the years. Our embalmers, cremation staff and administrative staff work hand in hand with the funeral directors to create personalized services.
