2019-07-31 - Alexander Andrews and his two sons William and Robert opened the Andrews Brothers’ funeral home in June 1908 on First Street just south of Jasper Avenue. It would later become Andrews and Sons, Undertakers and Embalmers, at what is now 10556 97th Street. The business prospered, and the family purchased a building site on the northwest corner of Jasper Avenue and 112th Street. It was the depths of the Great Depression but they were able to build anyway, and in 1932 opened a richly detailed funeral chapel faced with bricks and masonry. As was typical for many funeral homes of the era, it had living quarters on the second floor. A clock situated right above the main entrance left locals to quip: “Your time is coming!” George McLaughlin and his son Don, hardware store operators in Wetaskiwin and Tofield and undertakers in Tofield, assumed ownership in July 1940. The name of the firm was changed to Andrews-McLaughlin Funeral Chapel Ltd. Don died in a gliding accident at Cooking Lake in October 1964 and George sold the business to two former employees, Max Baron and Robert Long. In March 1981 the funeral home site at 11206 Jasper Avenue was sold and the firm moved into a new chapel at 10011 114 Street. The 1932 building was then demolished, replaced by a strip mall. -Database Manager
