Honouring Life, Centred on Your Family’s Wishes

"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..."

"This is the second time we have used Alternatives funeral services. They were very helpful with the whole process both times and made the everything easier. Thanks for your help Gaymond and team"

"The staff at Alternatives were extremely patient and accommodating to our needs at the time of my brother's passing away. I am from Ontario, and all the information was shared with me allowing me to make the arrangements from afar with guidance. When I encountered administrative challenges with obtaining the death certificate, Annika, my contact person, advocated on my behalf to get the issue settled and allowed me to get all the appropriate documents. I particularly appreciated the efficient process..."

"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..."

"This was our third time making use of AFCS. At those times when we had many things to deal with, they managed this process professionally, compassionately, and with little input from us, so that we could focus on our other responsibilities. They continue to provide exemplary service and we highly recommended them!"

"They were great. Not only did they made the transition easy. They walked me along every step with clear detail and explanation. Their website is well made with prices listed upfront. I had the pleasure of calling and needed some questions answered the person on the other end spent 30 minutes with me answering everything and giving me advice. For the open casket ceremony I had done for my farther he was presented really well and it helped me find..."

"We found Alternatives to be professional and personable in all our dealings with my recently deceased brother. I highly recommend their services. Lisa was a treasure. Thank you to all"

"Alternatives have been a pleasure to work with in a time of high stress and emotion. They were kind and calm in all their correspondence. Their website is straight forward, the process other than that was seamless and they are so professional and caring. Only call out is that their window for delivering the remains (if having done cremation) is a very small specific window so if you are a child of a parent and working it’s difficult to navigate."

"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."
