Burial Services
Our traditional burial services are created to acknowledge the religious or spiritual beliefs of the deceased while at the same time honouring their life. Generally, a member of the clergy or other person chosen by the family conducts this type of service. We encourage the active participation of the family in helping plan this part of the service. Many times family members take part by giving a reading, singing or assisting the clergy.
If the ceremony is held in a church, there is no additional charge. Nor is there an additional charge for arranging and conducting fraternal services.
Traditional burial services may be the following:
- Casket
- Transfer of the deceased to the funeral home
- Embalming
- Dressing, cosmetology and other care of the deceased
- Professional support and administrative staff assistance
- Use of visitation rooms
- General use of the facilities for the service and arrangements
- Funeral service
- Use of funeral coach
- Limousine
- Administration vehicle
- Register book
- Acknowledgment cards
- Memorial folders or prayer cards
These items are just a sample of the options that we can provide you. For more information about all of our burial service options, please call us at (604) 298-2525 or visit us at 4276 Hastings Street in Burnaby.
