Vulcan Funeral Home
Peter Holukoff began his career in the summer of 1972, accepting a position with the local funeral home in Kamsack, Saskatchewan. This early experience laid the foundation for his enduring dedication to the funeral industry, which later led him to Calgary, where he held various positions before re-entering into funeral service.
In January 1974, Peter joined McInnis and Holloway Funeral Home, where he successfully completed his apprenticeship and passed his licensing examinations in the fall of 1976. By the fall of 1978, he had advanced to the role of manager at McInnis and Holloway, then located on 4th Street and 15th Avenue SW Calgary Alberta. He held this managerial position until the fall of 1980, when he and his family relocated to British Columbia, where he continued his work in the funeral industry.
In 1982, after receiving several inquiries to return, Peter moved back to Calgary and resumed his role as manager of the main office. He further contributed to the profession by serving on the board of the Alberta Funeral Service Association, beginning in 1995 and served as President from 2000 to 2001.
Peter remained with McInnis and Holloway until January 2002, when he chose to pursue a different vocation. Throughout this time, he maintained his licenses and provided assistance to family and friends during their times of need.
After a nineteen-year hiatus, Peter re-entered the funeral profession as the location manager at Snodgrass Funeral Home in Okotoks. In 2015, he and his family moved to the Vulcan area, where he worked at Vulcan Funeral Home during Pat Wisener’s absences. Over time, discussions regarding the potential acquisition of the funeral home transitioned from concept to reality. In the spring of 2025, Peter and his wife, Wendy, acquired the Vulcan Funeral Home.
They regard their work as a profound privilege, dedicated to providing compassionate support to individuals navigating one of life’s most challenging experiences.
