Every year, there is an increase in the number of Canadians who opt for cremation as their preferred choice. Many are finding the simpler and less costly alternative of cremation, a more attractive option. To make your farewell as meaningful and personal as a traditional burial, you can chose from the following options.
Choice of Resting Place
Urns can be buried or kept in either a columbarium, a mausoleum, an outdoor or indoor niche, or in a special urn garden.
Memorial Service
This is the ideal selection for those who want to be cremated but also want the benefits of what traditional burials offer.
A Chance to Say Farewell
To many, viewings and visitations serve as an important part of the grieving process by offering an opportunity for a final farewell. Even if you are cremated, this option can be selected and you can also add a reception for your friends and family as part of your memorial plans.
Urns and Keepsakes
To ensure that your loved one’s memory will remain with you forever, you can select from several quality cremation products such as memorial record packages, jewellery and keepsake and cremation urns.
