Honouring Life, Centred on Your Family’s Wishes

"The Alternative Funeral & Cremation Services for my Dad was exceptional. From the night of his death, to them coming out to go over all the paper work to my dad's ashes being delivered to my house. It was all done with such kindness and efficiency. Thank you Elizabeth and Lisa for your care and helping me during this stressful 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..."

"Annika was very helpful and even set up a meeting at my home to complete paperwork after our Mom passed away. I was thankful for her kindness and assistance in a time when I was mostly focussed on grieving."

"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..."

"Out of the blue, mom was diagnosed with st. 4 cancer. Made arrangements ahead of time with Annika and she was such a big help in guiding us through this hard process. After notifing Alternatives Funeral Sevices in Aldergrove of my mothers passing at around 11pm; they gave us some time with her until they arrived at 1ish in the morning. Went above and beyond the expected service and the purple urn suggested is perfect. THANK U- Charlotte."

"We found Alternatives when searching for a cremation service who would help us as we walked through the process of losing our baby through miscarriage a few months ago. I was surprised when calling a few different places at how some funeral homes wouldn't receive our baby since she wasn't full term, but Alternatives was incredibly compassionate, understanding, and willing to help. We are so thankful for the wonderful care we received and for the dignity we were treated with..."

"These caring ladies helped us after our son went to rest. Anika came to our home - explained what's next and loved on us as she guided us making all the final arrangements for Chris. When he passed, they came and took him into their care with dignity.. followed through with his cremation, and delivered his ashes and documents to us. They made this emotional time much easier for us...explaining every step with compassion."

"We used Alternatives Funeral for my Dad’s passing. All the staff were extremely kind and professional. Martin met with us at our home and explained and answered all our questions compassionately and efficiently. They even came to the house to pick up my Dads clothing which would have been very difficult and emotional for us to drop off. The office staff as well were easy to communicate with and compassionate at every encounter. Prices were very reasonable as well. Highly..."

"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."

"Kristi Olsen was extremely kind and helpful and made a trying time pleasant and comfortable. I would highly recommend their services. Ed Wong"
