Is Cremation Environmentally Responsible?

Not at all crematoriums. Our Crematorium was built in 2014 and follows high environmental standards, monitored by the Ministry of the Environment. Our crematorium creates almost no emissions, unlike older crematoriums. Ours creates no smoke, no harmful toxins, no unhealthy byproducts other than CO2 from the natural gas used as fuel, approximately $4.00 per cremation in Carbon Tax in January 2019.

Should I prepay my funeral?

Prepaying is a personal choice. Prepaid funeral funds go into an account in your name and are held until the time of death. Interest accumulates tax free in your funeral account. This interest goes towards your funeral whenever you die. Regardless of price increases to your arrangements at the time, you will not pay more. If the price increases are greater than the accumulated interest, we cover the difference. If the price increases are less, we return the difference to your estate. The benefits are that you take care of your own funeral, if that's something you are in a position to do. We also offer time payment options from over several months to over ten years, instead of paying all at once.
