"I felt very well taken care of by Alternatives after the passing of my beloved partner. They were very supportive, comforting, and helpful in so many ways. I would recommend them to anyone in need of funeral home/cremation services in the lower mainland. AJ was a pleasure to deal with, and his compassionate nature really shines through in how he deals with grieving clients. He even came to my home to make the arrangements, and hand delivered my partner's ashes..."

"Alternatives were there with a plan when we unexpectedly didn’t have a plan. From the initial phone call to the collection of my beloved to cremation and delivery, Alternatives were informative, honest, compassionate & very real people. They even did a followup call to offer condolences and to see if there was anything else they could assist with. Thank you for being so amazing in our saddest time."

"Loosing our mom so very suddenly was the worst thing to happen to us. We choose Alternatives funeral and cremation as my dad liked that she went straight there and was taken care of there for her cremation. The team there was lovely to us through the whole process. They came to our house to do the paperwork and dropped off our mom’s ashes to us. From start to finish it was wonderful. The team has also followed up with..."

"I recently lost a love one, and chose Alternatives to do my funeral arrangements. I am so glad I decided to go with Alternatives. The service they provided was great, they came to my home and helped me with all the arrangements. They were friendly and professional, making sure I understood everything, and provided a list of things that I needed to do. After a few weeks they called to see how I was and if they could help in..."

"This was our third time making use of AFCS. At those times when we had many things to deal with, they managed this process professionally, compassionately, and with little input from us, so that we could focus on our other responsibilities. They continue to provide exemplary service and we highly recommended them!"

"I am extremely pleased with the professional and caring service I received from Kristi at Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services. She always answered my questions promptly in a helpful and friendly manner. The online booking system is convenient and the options are explained in detail. The service costs are reasonable especially compared to other companies. My family and I highly recommend Alternatives Funeral and Cremations."

"Alternatives have been a pleasure to work with in a time of high stress and emotion. They were kind and calm in all their correspondence. Their website is straight forward, the process other than that was seamless and they are so professional and caring. Only call out is that their window for delivering the remains (if having done cremation) is a very small specific window so if you are a child of a parent and working it’s difficult to navigate."

"Our mum passed recently and she had made arrangements with Alternative Funeral and Cremation services for her burial. As soon as the initial call was made until the last arrangements were over, Kristie and Elizabeth were there every step of the way. Their attention to all the details and their kind regard for our mum and family was evident. I would recommend Alternative Services to all my family and friends. Thank you Kristi for your kindness and professional handling of..."
