When making end-of-life arrangements, people must choose between two primary options: burial or cremation. While burial has long been the more traditional choice, cremation has become increasingly popular in recent decades. In today’s blog, we explore why so many residents of the Fraser Valley are choosing cremation as their preferred option—and why A Simple Cremation is here to support them every step of the way.
Convenience and Simplicity
One of the key reasons Fraser Valley residents opt for cremation is convenience. At A Simple Cremation, we specialize in direct cremations—a straightforward, respectful process in which the deceased is transferred from the place of death to our sheltering facility, cremated as promptly as possible, and the remains returned to the family.
This approach offers families time and emotional space. Rather than rushing to plan a formal funeral while still in shock or grief, you have the option to hold a memorial or celebration of life at a later date when you are more emotionally prepared to do so.
Cost-Effective and Transparent
Another significant reason families choose cremation is affordability. Compared to burial, cremation typically involves fewer expenses—no casket, no burial plot, and no interment fees.
Our Basic Cremation Package is designed to keep costs manageable without sacrificing care or dignity. It includes:
- A phone arrangement with a licensed funeral director
- Transportation of your loved one to our sheltering facility
- The cremation fee
- A standard cremation tray
- A basic cardboard urn
- Death registration and necessary documentation
Additional options—such as viewings, witness cremations, or upgraded urns—are available, but never required. All of our fees are posted on our website so there are no surprise costs or hidden fees.
Cremation continues to be one of the most convenient and cost-effective ways to care for a loved one’s remains in the Fraser Valley.
