Cremation in Surrey: what to expect
We care for families across Surrey, from Guildford, Whalley and Fleetwood to Newton, Cloverdale and South Surrey. You can make every arrangement online, or meet with us in person at our Aldergrove office or in your home, for an extra cost.
Bringing your loved one into our care
We answer the phone 24 hours a day and arrange the transfer from wherever your loved one is in Surrey. Transfer from a hospital is included in our package. A transfer from a home, hospice or care home adds $145.00.
Families in Surrey often call us from:
- Surrey Memorial Hospital (Fraser Health)
- Peace Arch Hospital, White Rock (Fraser Health, serving South Surrey)
- Laurel Place Care Centre (hospice and residential care)
- Melville Hospice Home, South Surrey
- Zion Park Manor
- Kinsmen Place Lodge
- Guildford Seniors Village
Cremation takes place at our own crematorium in Aldergrove, about 37 km from Surrey City Hall.
After the cremation
We call you when the cremated remains are ready. You can pick them up at our Aldergrove office at no charge, or our staff can hand-deliver them to you in Surrey for $95.00.
The City of Surrey owns three cemeteries: Surrey Centre Cemetery, Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery and Hazelmere Cemetery. Sunnyside Lawn and Hazelmere have scattering gardens, and Sunnyside Lawn has a columbarium for urns.
Surrey's parks bylaw does not allow cremated remains to be scattered in a park, except in an area the city has designated or in a city cemetery. The city is also piloting an ash-scattering site on the Fraser River at the Surrey Public Wharf, for Surrey residents by reservation ($237 plus tax).
Across BC, ashes can generally be scattered on Crown land and in provincial parks, with consideration for others. On private land, ask the owner first, and in towns and cities, local bylaws apply. We can also scatter the ashes at sea on your behalf for $95.00.
The price in Surrey
The same as everywhere we serve: our Simple Cremation package, a direct cremation, is $995, or $1,122.15 all-in with the Consumer Protection BC fee, one death certificate and GST. See every line item.
