Cremation
With a Direct Cremation, there are no formal ceremonies in a church or at a cemetery. If burial is selected, Alternatives will complete the interment with the selected cemetery; however the family is not present. If cremation is chosen, the cremated remains and death certificates are returned in person to the executor. If you wish, you can still select many of our other services such as visitations, obituaries, or extra death certificates. We can also create an Alternatives Event™ for you at a later date. If cremation is selected, we offer a wide array of urns and a unique variety of memorial keepsakes.
Includes our professional fee, cremation fee, minimum cremation container (up to 240 lbs), 10 funeral directors statements of death, online obituary, and a temporary urn.
Additional options: estate assistance kit, obituary in print, rural transportation fee (if applicable) urn upgrade, cremation container upgrade, provincial death certificate, stationary, visitation, emablming/sanitary preparation and dressing of deceased.
