"Thank you for making the last rites of my father hassle free and peaceful for me. John was immensely helpful and respectful throughout the process so was Elizabeth when she delivered the ashes to me at my home and also followed up later to find out how am I doing. It is not easy to lose lived ones, it becomes even tougher when one is in a new country. So heartfelt thank you again for being there for me."

They have been extremely helpful answering questions, assisting us with all the steps necessary, following up, .... They have a very personal touch."

"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..."

"Kristi and Elizabeth where absolutely amazing throughout the entire process and even after, they've continued to reach out to me in support. In a time of my life thats entirely full of grieving/emotions while greedy banks and lawyers have added to the difficult time, these two have been top notch and a breath of fresh air. A big thank you to the team at Alternatives Funeral & Cremation services."

"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. "

"Alternatives provided excellent service when my brother recently passed away in Vancouver. As I live in Ontario and would only be in Vancouver for a few days, they made sure that everything was planned in advance and exceeded my expectations. Jesus, Elizabeth and especially Gaymond went out of their way to help out. I highly recommend Alternatives to anyone in need of their services."

"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..."

"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."

It was also easy stop and then return later to where I had left off. They were very accommodating to our wishes, for..."
