Affordable Cremation & Funeral Services

"It has been a couple of months since my mother passed and I finally have a moment of calm to write this review. I was so impressed with Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services. Right from the very first contact with them, they have been incredibly kind and helpful. They were quick to respond, even multiple times over the weekend to patiently help me through the process and answer my questions. Every staff member we encountered was so gentle and attentive..."

"Loosing our mom so very suddenly was the worst thing to happen to us. We choose Alternatives funeral and cremation as my dad liked that she went straight there and was taken care of there for her cremation. The team there was lovely to us through the whole process. They came to our house to do the paperwork and dropped off our mom’s ashes to us. From start to finish it was wonderful. The team has also followed up with..."

"Everyone here that worked with my family - Marivic, Annika, Elizabeth, and others behind the scenes - was so professional, knowledgeable, helpful and caring. Our meeting at Tim Horton’s with Annika (not the ideal place but we needed to have it here and made it work) to discuss the arrangements my mom had made was so informative, and final plans concerning the funeral mass and inurnment were made quickly with little waffling. Even though we were inundated with a lot..."

"My experience with Alternatives Funeral was excellent. They were so professional in all aspects of the service provided. My wife was in good hands and well looked after. All the staff were compassionate and really cared how the family was doing. I know my wife received the dignity and respect while in their care. I would highly recommend them to anyone."

"My husband passed away but had donated his body to UBC. UBC has arrangements with this company and I could not have been happier with the service I received. From the moment I was in contact with them, I was met with only care and kindness. We were able to arrange a viewing quickly and during our visit, we were treated very compassionately as well as being told exactly what to expect. After the cremation, we waited only 3 or..."

"These caring ladies helped us after our son went to rest. Anika came to our home - explained what's next and loved on us as she guided us making all the final arrangements for Chris. When he passed, they came and took him into their care with dignity.. followed through with his cremation, and delivered his ashes and documents to us. They made this emotional time much easier for us...explaining every step with compassion."

"We used Alternatives Funeral for my Dad’s passing. All the staff were extremely kind and professional. Martin met with us at our home and explained and answered all our questions compassionately and efficiently. They even came to the house to pick up my Dads clothing which would have been very difficult and emotional for us to drop off. The office staff as well were easy to communicate with and compassionate at every encounter. Prices were very reasonable as well. Highly..."

"Alternatives was a pleasure to work with during a difficult time. Jesus and Elizabeth were particularly kind and compassionate.   I always received quick responses to my questions and they kept well within their promised time schedules.  Results were professionally presented and their attention to detail was perfect."

"Thank you to all the staff of Alternatives. Your prompt and friendly service made it easy for me and my family during my brother’s passing. When one loses a loved one, it is very hard to plan a service, especially when it is sudden. You helped me thru all these and spared me the worries. Thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you Andre, AJ and Maria for going over and beyond for me and our..."

"The staff at Alternatives could not have been more helpful in guiding us through the process after our father’s passing. They were patient, compassionate and effective in helping us navigate the myriad of details involved. We didn’t know what we didn’t know, and Juliana and Martin helped us every step of the way. We will be forever grateful."
