Honouring Life, Centred on Your Family’s Wishes

"I felt very well taken care of by Alternatives after the passing of my beloved partner. They were very supportive, comforting, and helpful in so many ways. I would recommend them to anyone in need of funeral home/cremation services in the lower mainland. AJ was a pleasure to deal with, and his compassionate nature really shines through in how he deals with grieving clients. He even came to my home to make the arrangements, and hand delivered my partner's ashes..."

"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."

"Did not know what to expect and was relieved at how smoothly the entire process went. From the first look at their website to final documents, everything was clear, well organized, and taken care of sensitivly. Made what could have been a difficult process less stressful."

"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..."

"Kristi and Elizabeth where absolutely amazing throughout the entire process and even after, they've continued to reach out to me in support. In a time of my life thats entirely full of grieving/emotions while greedy banks and lawyers have added to the difficult time, these two have been top notch and a breath of fresh air. A big thank you to the team at Alternatives Funeral & Cremation services."

"Well organized, walked us through the process and sensetive to our needs. Made for a wonderful experience as we laid mom's body to rest."

"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."

"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..."

"I recently lost a love one, and chose Alternatives to do my funeral arrangements. I am so glad I decided to go with Alternatives. The service they provided was great, they came to my home and helped me with all the arrangements. They were friendly and professional, making sure I understood everything, and provided a list of things that I needed to do. After a few weeks they called to see how I was and if they could help in..."
