We understand that every family is different. Influences such as religious and cultural traditions, cost concerns and personal preferences make many tributes as unique as the person being honoured. Our professionals are here to show you the options available. They will guide you through the process and take care of small details, so that you can be comforted by having held a fitting and personalized tribute for your loved one. Tributes can be formal, informal, religious, non-religious – whatever your family desires.
Many funeral homes advertise cremation services, but use a 3rd party contractor to deliver the service. With the only onsite crematorium in the Mid Island region, our professional staff are able to make direct cremation as simple as possible and once you call our team, your loved one will never leave our care. We’re able to provide affordable, efficient, and professional basic cremation services without delay.
