Obit Albert George Spence, died July 19, 1943, Medicine Hat

According to recent information, Albert George Spence died July 19, 1943 in Medicine Hat. Would anyone have access to his obituary? Hoping to find location of his sister Etta and her husband's first name (last name Burke), also the names of Albert's children, particularly a son who may have been born from a first marriage, before Albert's marriage to Henrietta.
Thanks for any help
Peggy

Hi, with the information posted : - contact The Cemetery Office.
https://www.medicinehat.ca/index.aspx?page=542
They will know the date of Death date of burial. May know if there had been an obituary published - and the date/s
they will also know the name of the Funeral Home/ Undertaker - in charge of arrangements
.
,Funeral Home may take information for the Registration of Death - as well other personal information not required for the Registration. Names of pall bearers - music - religious service - names and locations of family members - etc - All depends on the Informant
Depending on when a death occurred - an obituary may be published the day after - or many days later - some the day before a funeral - and some - a short while after a funeral if there is a private funeral.

Cheers & Good Luck, Stella

Internment will be in Hillside Cemetery
Nott's Chapel
