Trying to find info on Grandfather

Surnames: Furneaux
I am trying to locate a birth date and death date for my step Grandfather Richard Furneaux. He was married to my Granny, Ruth Furneaux (maiden name Neidig). I believe he was born in Coal Creek. They lived for years in Fernie and then he was transferred to Edson, AB with the coal company he worked for. He died in Edmonton while there on a weekend but I believe he is buried in Fernie. I was at the funeral but I was kid and don't remember the details. Does anyone know any Furneaux's in Fernie or Coal Creek? I can't find any records anywhere. I've written to the local newspaper but haven't heard back yet.

What time frame are you researching
When did your step Grandfather Richard FURNEAUX pass away?
obituary may not show date of birth.

Depending on requirements of the time - and knowledge of the informant.
Registration of Death - will show Date and Place of Birth.
Names of parents including maiden name of the mother - place of birth of parents etc
Should show name of Funeral Home - Name and location of Cemetery.
If Richard FURNEAUX passed away in Alberta - Vital Statistics Registry office in Edmonton - the cost Aprox $40
