A Message From Sgt. Nathan Rogers CPS Funeral Coordinator


Hello Calgary Police Veterans,
 
My name is Nathan Rogers and I’m the Funeral Coordinator for the Calgary Police Service. Being a member of a police agency anywhere in the world means that you belong to a bigger family. This family has traditions and ceremonies that can carry a lot of significance for those involved. It’s my job as the funeral coordinator to ensure those traditions and ceremonies are honoured in a way that serves your family and is inline with your wishes. 

I am here as a resource to your family. I am happy to come alongside them and work together to honour the memory of our retired members. Death is a difficult time for anyone and if I can alleviate any pressure that your family is feeling then I am happy to do that. 

I don’t do this alone; I work with a team of incredibly dedicated and professional individuals who work tirelessly to ensure that you are honoured in the way you deserve. 

If you are planning on making some arrangements ahead of time, one of the team or I would be more than happy to help you make those decisions. If you need some assistance in moving forward with planning, please reach out and see if there’s any way that the Funeral Coordinators can be of any assistance.

Honoring the Fallen,
 

Nathan Rogers
