Why plan ahead?
Planning your final arrangements ahead of time provides benefits for both your family and you.
Pre-planning helps your Edmonton Family
When you pass, it will be an emotional time for your family. By pre-planning your final arrangements, you can spare your family added responsibilities and stress.
- Alleviates the need for the family to make uncertain decisions at a time of confusion and grief

- Eliminates the risk of emotional over-spending by family members
- You can discuss final arrangement options openly with your family in a relaxed environment with clarity of mind
Pre-Planning Saves Your Edmonton Family Money
By pre-planning your final arrangements today, you will be able to take advantage of a variety of financial benefits.
- As with most products and services, funeral and cemetery costs rise as the years go by. By pre-planning your final arrangements now, you can lock in at today’s lower prices potentially saving thousands of dollars in the future
- You determine the budget, reducing the risk that grieving loved ones will spend more than you would want them to
- By paying ahead, you have the option to pay in installments vs. your family having to pay the full amount all at once, later.
Pre-plan the service you want
Pre-planning your final arrangements gives you the opportunity to determine how you would like to be remembered.
- Celebrate your life, your way, by planning any or every stage of your time to remember the event.
- Organize the kind of ceremony you want incorporating elements of your personality, interests, culture and/or religious beliefs.
- Include personal touches that you know will bring comfort to your family members and friends.
