Funeral Home in Surrey

For generations, a funeral has been a way for family and friends to gather and celebrate the life of a loved one, to honour their accomplishments, and to start the journey towards healing.  A funeral is a fundamental part of your final arrangements, whether burial or cremation is chosen. 

Say More Than Just Goodbye

A funeral service, whether for yourself or a loved one, can be as traditional or contemporary as you desire. No matter how unique the request, our planning professionals creatively and resourcefully provide a one-of-a-kind remembrance. Often, a visitation period proceeds the service. Receiving family and friends through a visitation provides support,  and allows others to express their love and concern for you. Our quiet visitation rooms provide a soothing atmosphere for attendees.

Planning a Service and Reception

Avalon Surrey Funeral Home features a modern chapel, with seating for 110 and televised overflow. But you don’t have to plan a conventional, clergy-led service. Today, the opportunity to honour your loved one reaches far beyond the classic readings and a eulogy.  Whether it’s showcasing dad’s prized motorcycle collection or serving cookies baked from grandmother’s famous recipe, discuss your ideas with us.  The possibilities are endless.

As you personalize the funeral, some things to consider include:

• Attributes or passions of the person who died that you want to be sure to honour
• Memories to share
• Important people to include
• Person to lead the ceremony
• Others who might want to speak or share memories
• Music ideas for the visitation and ceremony
• Readings for the ceremony

After the service, it can be comforting to host a reception where family and friends join together over a meal.  We offer comfortable reception rooms with full catering services, as a private place to gather and remember. 

Online Tributes
