🌾 Happy Thanksgiving from Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services 🦃

As families gather across our community this Thanksgiving, we take a moment to give thanks - for the trust you've placed in us, for the lives and legacies we've been honoured to serve, and for the strength that comes from caring for one another.

In a world that moves quickly, we're reminded that gratitude slows us down just enough to see the beauty in each day, and the blessings found in every connection.

From all of us at Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services, Happy Thanksgiving - may your home be filled with peace, warmth, and love. 💛

Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services is proud to support Harborview Electric in bringing water cremation (alkaline hydrolysis) to British Columbia—a more sustainable option as traditional cremation capacity strains.

With ongoing prohibitions against water cremation, B.C. funeral homes say their flame crematoriums have reached capacity amid rising demand, with slim chances for expansion

Genuine care and consideration are two factors that families appreciate when it comes to working alongside Alternatives. Many funeral homes are known for their high ticketed mark-ups, their commissioned sales people and their ability to convince you of add on's that you don't require. ⁣

At Alternatives we are proud of our non-commissioned staff and our transparent and honest pricing. We are here to guide you, never swaying your decisions. 🌿⁣ https://plan.myalternatives.ca/information/
