Eirik Bardal, General Manager - Funeral Director / Embalmer Email: eirik@nbardal.mb.ca Office Phone: 204-949-2200 Fax: 204-694-9494 I was born on October 18th, 1970 in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Neil and Annette Bardal and raised in Fort Garry most of my life. I graduated from Vincent Massey Collegiate and moved to Gimli in my early 20's where I had worked as a commercial fisherman for five years. After completing my 5th season on Lake Winnipeg, I had decided to become the 4th generation of my family to go into the Funeral Service Profession.  Having completed my apprenticeship with the Western School of Funeral Service, I was then licensed to practice Funeral service in the Province of Manitoba as a Funeral Director and Embalmer. I am married to my wonderful wife Lisa and we have four children, Catherine, Sean, Samantha, and Josh, residing in Stonewall, Manitoba. I am a member of many organizations that I am proud of, and they are: -  Member of Viking Masonic Lodge in Gimli, Manitoba -  Scottish Rite Masonry in Winnipeg -  Chamber of Commerce in Winnipeg -  Member of the Rotary Club of Winnipeg -  Member of The Church of St. Stephen / St. Bede -  Current 1st Vice President of the Hong Kong Veterans of Canada Association.  This organization has special meaning to me because my Grandfather Njall O. Bardal had fought and had been a prisoner in Hong Kong. With the opening of our Gimli office, I've been spending some of my time there, working with Mona Johnson to take care of pre arrangements.
