Glenview Memorial Gardens can provide convenient and flexible cremation services.
Every year, more Canadians are choosing cremation. Cremation provides you and your family with a simple, yet meaningful way to pay your final respects. Cremation may also be more affordable than a traditional burial. However, there are many options to make your final goodbye personal and evocative.
Final Resting Place Options
Cremation urns can be placed in an outdoor or indoor niche, columbarium or mausoleum. Or you may choose to bury the urn in a garden designed specifically for that purpose.
Chapel or Graveside Service
Even though cremation is chosen, you can still hold a traditional chapel or graveside service, honouring your loved one with dignity and respect.
Public Viewings and Visitations
Viewings and visitations can be an important part of the grieving process as it provides loved ones a final chance to say goodbye. And even with cremation, you can also choose to hold a reception for friends and family.
