Your loved one will be transported into our facility at the crematorium in Maple Ridge. Once the paperwork is processed and completed, and the 48 hours have passed, we will schedule them for cremation.

Legally the cremation can only take place 48 hours after the time of death and all authorization documents are completed. There can be occasional delays such as getting the required release from hospitals or medical certificates from the doctor or coroner. However, typically, the cremation will take place within 5 - 7 days. We will contact you should a delay occur.

Definitely. We can plan for the witness cremation in our viewing suite at the crematorium. There are, however, additional costs for these services which you can see in our Pricing list

Every local cemetery has the option to bury ashes and we would be happy to refer you to any one of the several municipal or private cemeteries in the area.

You may scatter the ashes anywhere you like as there are no federal or provincial regulations that prohibit the scattering of cremated remains, even in places such as federal or provincial parks. The only restriction is you will need permission to scatter on private property from the land owner.

You can always scatter the ashes on your property, just remember that if ownership changes, you most likely would not have access to it which may cause emotional difficulty or pain for those who considered that land a place of pilgrimage.

These are very important decisions to carefully consider while some like the idea of scattering on land or water, these are irreversible decisions. Some people do come to regret that decision and wished they had a permanent memorial site. Memorial gardens at a cemetery is something to consider. In most cases, they are dedicated for this purpose. They could also authorize a plaque or marker be placed in honor of your loved one which would allow you to have a permanent memorial space.

That’s no problem. Every year, we do land scattering of ashes. You can take a look at our Pricing page for further information about this service.

We can definitely do that, however, the shipping and handling charges are extra. You are also able to have us divide the ashes into smaller keepsake urns so multiple people in the family can keep a part of their loved one. If this is something you are interested it, you can let us know and we can discuss it further.

Usually our clients plan for a memorial service on their own after cremation has occurred. However, we can make suggestions of venues to hold your memorial service in. Whichever option you select, we are here to assist you.
