Funeral Pre-Planning
We contribute to retirement plans, take out life insurance, and create wills. As your family matures, pre-planning your own funeral becomes part of this important planning process.
Planning for the future is a natural and important part of our everyday lives.
There is no charge for pre-planning and it consists of a basic conference with our staff, where the funeral director will record statistical information, service selection, and casket selection. We keep the information on file and at the time of need will relay your selections to your family and estate representatives relieving them of the anxiety involved with making rushed decisions.
Funeral pre-planning may seem like a challenging task or something that makes you uncomfortable. For many people, death is something they do not want to think about or acknowledge. Although it is difficult, pre-planning a funeral can be both beneficial for you and your family. By doing so, your family can spend their time grieving and comforting one another rather than spending time at the funeral home making arrangements. It also provides you with peace of mind knowing that your final wishes will be taken care of in the way you would like.
In addition to pre arranged funeral services, we offer Guaranteed Funeral Costs through a pre-payment option where your payment is invested into a trust account at Guaranteed Funeral Deposits of Canada. The deposited funds will accrue interest until the contract is fulfilled (when the services and supplies are delivered) or the contract is canceled. Our plan allows you the option to cancel, change, or transfer your arrangement at any time in the years ahead (please refer to your funeral service contract). Our funding program strictly adheres to the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act, 2002, ensuring complete protection for your investment, yourself, and your family. We will be pleased to answer any questions you may have about your prepayment options.
Our dedicated staff is available to assist you and your family in answering any questions or concerns regarding funeral pre-planning. Please consult us at your convenience.
Take care of all your end of life planning details and give you and your family the peace-of-mind you deserve.
The Basics of Planning Your Own Funeral
Pre-planning your funeral puts your family a step ahead when you're gone. They don't have to go through the process of making tough decisions organizing the funeral during a time of mourning. It also gives the family direction at a time when they need it most.
The pre-planning process is easy, and even if you don't have an idea of where to start, we'll guide you every step of the way. Our dedicated and compassionate team will sit down with you at the pre-arrangement and explain all your options to you, discuss pricing, the appropriate payment plans to consider, and other important decisions.
As you document how you'd like your funeral to be, we usually encourage you to have a loved one by your side for comfort and support. It could be a spouse, a family member, relative, or close friend. They’ll be there for comfort and support, and to make sure that your last wishes are honoured.

Once we receive the form, one of our funeral directors will review your selections and contact you to schedule a meeting at our funeral home. During this meeting, we will discuss your service options, provide you with a tour of the facilities and answer any questions you may have. Once we have assisted you with pre-planning the funeral, the funeral director will finalize documents for you to sign and complete your funeral arrangements.
