Each year, more Canadians are selecting cremation as their preferred option. While the reasons may vary, elaborate burials are not as popular as they once were. Cremation is an option that many are choosing as it offers a meaningful expression of remembrance in a simple way. Many people also find this a more affordable option.
You can select from a variety of options to make your farewell as meaningful and personal as a traditional burial.
Final Resting Place Options
Urns can either be buried or kept in special urn gardens, indoor or outdoor niches, columbariums or mausoleums.
Chapel or Graveside Service
If you would like to be cremated but prefer everything that is offered in a traditional burial, this is the ideal selection for you.
