Cremation in Vancouver: what to expect
We care for families across Vancouver, from the West End and Kitsilano to Kerrisdale, East Vancouver and South Vancouver. Most Vancouver families make their arrangements with us online, and we can meet you in person at our Aldergrove office or in your home, for an extra cost, if you prefer.
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 Vancouver. Transfer from a hospital is included in our package. A transfer from a home, hospice or care home adds $145.00.
Families in Vancouver often call us from:
- Vancouver General Hospital (Vancouver Coastal Health)
- St. Paul's Hospital (Providence Health Care)
- Point Grey Private Hospital
- Windermere Care Centre
- Yaletown House
- Haro Park Centre
Cremation takes place at our own crematorium in Aldergrove, about 59 km from Vancouver 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 Vancouver for $95.00.
Mountain View Cemetery on Fraser Street is Vancouver's only cemetery, owned and run by the City since 1886. It has in-ground spaces for cremated remains, and the city expects new columbarium niches to be available in 2027.
If you would like the ashes scattered at sea, we can do this on your behalf instead of returning the cremated remains.
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 Vancouver
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.
