History
The Southern King's & Queen's Funeral Home is a co-operative venture of the people of the communities of Southern King's & Queen's areas. It is owned by the Southern King's & Queen's Funeral Co-operative which was incorporated in 1994. We became the seventh funeral co-op on PEI. Presently we have membership of approximately 270.A nine member board oversees the working and operation of the funeral home. We held our first annual meeting in April 1995. We began by using local churches for wakes and funerals. In 1996 we purchased 1.9 acres of land in Murray River on which a house was located. The house was renovated so we could hold wakes and small funerals on site. In 2002 we expanded our facility by building on to the present building thus providing extra space and a chapel.
The Southern King's & Queen's Funeral Home offers full funeral services at its newly renovated and spacious facility featuring a chapel, wake room, family / reception area, and ample parking. There is live-streamig of funerals. We are located on Highway # 4 just north of the village limits of Murray River.
Donations
Memorial donations are accepted at the Southern King's & Queen's Funeral Home for any charity requested by the family. The family receives a card identifying the donor.Official receipts for income tax purposes are issued to the donor by the organization receiving the donation.
We do accept donations by mail to the funeral home (9120 Commercial Road, Rte. #4, Murray River, PE C0A 1W0) or by etransfer to funerals@eastlink.ca (be sure to include your mailing address in the note section so a receipt can be issued).

Membership
When a person becomes a member of a co-operative, he or she has the same rights as every other member regardless of the number of shares held. Each member has the right to be notified of meetings of the membership, to attend meetings and vote on all matters brought before such meetings.Each member of the co-operative is also entitled to receive a copy of the audited financial statements each year. The members also approve of the auditor appointed at each annual meeting. Each member can also stand for election to the Board of Directors if he or she is interested in being more involved with the overall administration of the affairs of the co-operative.
A membership share in Southern King's and Queen's Funeral Co-op Ltd costs $50 and applications can be obtained by contacting the funeral home or any of the directors.
Principles of Co-operation
For better understanding of co-operation and the funeral co-operatives it may be best to explain the seven principles of co-operation. The seven principles outline the responsibilities every co-op has to its members and communities.
- Open and Voluntary Membership
Anyone who will accept the responsibility of membership and who can use the services may join the co-operative.
- Democratic Participation
At the local co-op level, each member has one vote, regardless of the amount of shares held. Member-owners control the co-op and have a responsibility to participate in decision making.
- Limited Interest on Share Capital
Co-ops are organized to provide services and are not for investment purposes. Generally, no interest is paid on share capital.
- Surplus Earnings Returned to Members
Surpluses, after expenses and reserve fund holdbacks, are returned to members in proportion to the use they make of the co-op.
- Co-operative Education
Member education is a vital part of co-operatives. Each co-op has an obligation to provide opportunities to help members, elected officials, staff and the general public, in understanding co-operatives and their role.
- Co-operation Among Co-operatives
All co-ops should actively co-operate in every practical way at local, national and international levels.
- Concerns for Community
Co-operatives accept the fact that they are vital and an important component of the communities in which they exist and must take steps to encourage the health of the community.
