Honouring Life, Centred on Your Family’s Wishes

"The staff at Alternatives could not have been more helpful in guiding us through the process after our father’s passing. They were patient, compassionate and effective in helping us navigate the myriad of details involved. We didn’t know what we didn’t know, and Juliana and Martin helped us every step of the way. We will be forever grateful."

"Kristi and Elizabeth were kind and caring and help me with all of my questions. Every thing was taken care of just as they said it would be and on the timeline that we had set.

Even though we were inundated with a lot..."

For the open casket ceremony I had done for my farther he was presented really well and it helped me find..."

"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..."

"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."

"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!"
