Peace County Memorials Showroom

At Peace Country Memorials, we know that a memorial is far more than simply a stone, it is a lasting tribute to a life well-lived and a legacy remembered. As a family-owned and locally operated company, we take pride in serving families across the Peace Country with compassion, integrity, and expert craftsmanship. It is both a responsibility and a privilege to help families create meaningful monuments that honor their loved ones and stand the test of time.

Our Family Tradition

Creating memorials has been a time-honoured Waldner family tradition since 1957, when Harold Waldner founded Town & Country Memorials. In 1972, the business became Peace Country Memorials, continuing Harold’s vision of quality, care, and personal service.

After Harold’s passing in 1987, his son Hal carried on the family legacy, growing and operating the business until his untimely passing in 2009. Today, under the leadership of Hal’s son, Dayne Waldner, and our dedicated team, Peace Country Memorials continues to thrive as a family-owned and operated business, proudly celebrating our 54th anniversary in 2026.

Locally Produced, Expertly Crafted

Every memorial we create is designed and produced locally, combining expert craftsmanship with the highest quality materials. From memorial counselling and design to production and installation, our team guides families through each step with care, ensuring every tribute is personal and enduring.

We invite you to visit our showroom in Rycroft, Alberta, just 45 minutes north of Grande Prairie or connect with one of our representatives at display locations throughout the Peace Country. Contact us, and we’ll be happy to direct you to the location most convenient for you.
