Cremation in West Vancouver: what to expect
We care for families across West Vancouver, from Ambleside and Dundarave to the British Properties, Caulfeild and Horseshoe Bay. 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 West Vancouver. Transfer from a hospital is included in our package. A transfer from a home, hospice or care home adds $145.00.
Families in West Vancouver often call us from:
- Lions Gate Hospital, North Vancouver (Vancouver Coastal Health)
- North Shore Hospice, North Vancouver

Cremation takes place at our own crematorium in Aldergrove, about 71 km from West Vancouver Municipal 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 West Vancouver for $95.00.
Capilano View Cemetery on 3rd Street, owned by the District of West Vancouver, has served West Vancouver residents since 1926. It has in-ground plots for cremated remains and columbarium niches, and plots cost less when the person they are for lives in West Vancouver.
The District of West Vancouver does not permit ashes to be scattered in public spaces, including its parks and beaches.
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.
