About Martin Brothers Funeral Services
Benjamin Bennifer Martin, the founder, came to Lethbridge with his family in 1904. In 1907 he began working with T.S. Fetterly in the funeral business. Benjamin attended the Cincinnati College of Embalmers, where he studied and obtained his license. When WWI broke out, he returned to England to serve in the forces, returning to Lethbridge in 1919, where he worked once again with T.S. Fetterly. Ben’s younger brother Harry Martin came to Lethbridge in 1922 to join Ben in the funeral profession. They purchased T.S. Fetterly firm, which then became Martin Brothers, located on the corner of 4th Ave. and 6th Street South, later moving to 812-3rd Ave. South.
In 1961 Ben’s sons Derek.H.B. Martin and Dale Arthur Martin, purchased the funeral home from their father and uncle. In 1968 they began expanding and built the Memorial Chapel on the corner of 7th Ave. and 13 Street North. Derek owned the Pattison Funeral home in Medicine Hat until his passing. Martin Brothers is currently located on the corner of 6th Ave and 4 Street. South. To date Dale Sr. is Honorary President of the company while his son Dale Jr. now resides as President and Owner of Martin Brothers. 100 years and four generations have established Martin Brothers legacy in Southern Alberta.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our experience with Martin Brothers has been outstanding. Sandy was so compassionate and answered all our questions, even arranging a last-minute viewing that we requested. Shelley was also incredibly helpful with walking us through all the details that have to be done after a death, that the family would not necessarily know how to do. We are so thankful for their professionalism, compassion and competence. We would recommend them in a heartbeat.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My father's service was held at Martin Brother's Funeral Chapel in March of 2011 and we were extremely satisfied with the care and professionalism displayed by the staff.
My mother sadly passed away in June of 2021. Heartbroken for the second time, we returned to Martin Brothers to plan a beautiful and well deserved service in her honor.
Lisa was our funeral director and she was compassionate, considerate, gentle and extremely personable. (Lisa is someone whom our family would want to stay in touch with). She made a most difficult day bearable for all of us.
Mom wanted her service to be just like my Dad's and it was ... just as beautiful and memorable.
On behalf of my family and I, we would highly recommend Martin Brothers Funeral Chapel and the help of their staff in a time of loss.
God bless and keep you

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had the pleasure of working with Lisa Shimozawa and Shelley Thom. I cannot thank them enough for all they've done to make this as easy as it can be. The care they provide is second to none. These are always very emotional visits but the care and attention shown by these ladies was exceptional. Highly recommend Martin Brothers and their wonderful staff.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We are extremely satisfied and grateful to Martin Brothers for not only their immediate response to our request for help but also for their wonderful support and guidance with all the details that needed to be dealt with after Bobs unexpected death. We were totally unprepared for the many forms that had to be completed and forwarded as well as how to find our way through the required steps that needed to be taken to successfully complete this difficult procedure. We found the staff comforting, gentle and patient making this dreadful time easier to handle. I will forever be grateful to Lisa Shimozawa for her kindness and sincere support.
We have not hesitated to let our family, friends and everyone we have contact with know of our very positive experience with Martin Brothers. We truly can’t think of anything you could do to improve your service. Thank you for your help and feel you deserve at least a 10 star or higher rating.
Sandra McKay and family

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Martin Brothers was the funeral home that my mom Susan Hurlbut wished to go when she passed away. That decision was made about 7 years ago. Knew a few people that had chosen Martin Brothers to do their funeral services.
The experience I had with Martin Brothers was excellent with Sandy ,Shelly as well as the gentlemen who came to collect her from our home. I would highly recommend them. Very professional and gave a us a Great Day for Susan's memorial service. I think Susan would have been very pleased with the service we received. Martin Brothers took care of everything. I liked that they used black limousines as well.
I definitely would highly recommend Martin Brothers to friends and family.
I don't know how Martin Brothers could have served us any better. Very pleased with the service we received.
Mrs Nancy Hernandez ( Hurlbut)
