Where To Start

When you begin the process of designing a ceremony, the decisions you'll face might seem overwhelming at first. We're here to help you understand the options and make your choices one by one, creating a remembrance of love, healing, and life celebration. The process can be broken down into two stages: decisions regarding the service and how you'd like to honour your loved one's life, and decisions regarding how you'd like to care for your loved one's physical remains.

Designing a Ceremony

Whether it's formal or informal, traditional or offbeat, a funeral provides an opportunity for family and friends to gather and support one another in taking the first steps of their healing journey. A service can take place in any setting - at your home, outdoors, or at our facilities, for example - and can incorporate music, poetry, or art in the celebration of a life well-lived. There are endless possibilities for what the service can be, and we're honoured to go above and beyond in our duty to meet your personalized and specific requests.

Our team is experienced in event planning, understanding and graciously accommodating the needs of all beliefs, faiths, lifestyles, and relationships. We're here to answer your questions and guide you through the decisions you'll need to make, and will encourage you to take your time to figure out the most meaningful and fitting way to honour your loved one and incorporate the elements that you and your family find meaningful.



Caring for a Loved One's Physical Remains

Once you've chosen how you'd like to celebrate your loved one's life journey, the next decision you'll face is about how you'd like to care for their physical remains. This can be a difficult or emotional choice for you and your family; we will provide you with the information you need as we help you to consider your options and make the decision that is right for your loved one and for your family. Once you've decided between burial and cremation, there are a few additional choices you'll face:

  • For a burial, you'll need to select a casket and a cemetery, and choose between a ground burial and entombment in a mausoleum.
  • For cremation, you'll need to select an urn and choose whether to bury, entomb, or scatter the cremated remains, as well as a location where you'd like to do so.


No matter which path you decide to take, we'll be there to support you and assist you in exploring your options and making an informed decision that feels right for you and your loved one.
