Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services

About

At Alternatives®, we are proud to provide you with a different approach to funeral and cremation services.

Story

Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services began in Western Canada in 1992 as Personal Alternative Funeral Services, with the goal of providing consumers with a comfortable, affordable and common-sense alternative to the escalating costs found in many funeral homes. Clearly our approach was welcomed as we have become the largest independently owned funeral home in Western Canada.

From the one location in Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, the company has grown to serve over 1,200 families every year.

From the inception, our business model of going to the family in their own home to make final arrangements has become very successful. Other funeral providers discovered our system, resulting in the establishment of Partner Locations in various cities including, Vernon, Armstrong, and Trail in British Columbia, in Calgary and Red Deer in Alberta. And we are pleased to welcome the latest Partner Location in Regina, Saskatchewan.

Our mission is to deliver superior value, both financially and emotionally. And while our name has changed, the same strong ownership and management structure remains in place.

From start to finish, Ännika was absolutely amazing. When my mother went into hospice, I contacted Ännika to help us make all of the arrangements. Before mom even passed, we had the peace of mind of organizing her cremation, so that we wouldn't be stuck making important decisions in the throes of grief. When mom passed, someone came and transferred mom to the funeral home. It was done with such love and respect. When I met with Ännika shortly after mom passed to go over the final details, she graciously provided us with information on what to do next, canceling bank accounts, applying for death benefits, etc. She walked me through all of the details so I could pass it along to my father. Initially I had said I would plan moms celebration of life and once the time came to do so, I was lost. I mentioned that to Ännika and she explained a new service they are implementing, wherein they arrange the entire celebration of life even if it is outside of the funeral home. Her fee was more than fair and she worked so hard on our behalf. She arranged and organized everything for us in such an efficient and professional manner. We had our vision of what we wanted, which was a little unorthodox, and she made it come to fruition beautifully. The day of the service, I was beside myself and not much help, but Ännika and her team arranged and executed everything beautifully and professionally. I can't imagine having to organize this event without them. Our family is forever grateful to Ännika and her team.
I want to share an amazing experience I had today… My Wife and I have been talking about getting our affairs in order for a number of years and today we prepaid for our Funeral and Cremation Services with John Romeyn at Alternatives. I have known John for going on 35 years now, and I knew he was the one I would be calling to get things arranged. If you are like us, and you are in your mid-50’s, it’s time to take care of getting things arranged for down the road. You never know when you will need these services, and it’s not an easy subject to talk about, but taking care of things in advance, and having your wishes known and paid for in advance makes nothing but sense. The best part is prepayment means it is inflation proof. What you pay is what you pay. If you are contemplating getting your affairs in order, and you want to make sure your family has an easier time with things, then please go see John. He has been doing this for 22 years now, and is so professional, it makes the situation so easy.
10 years ago, Alternatives helped us with the death of my father. We just buried my mother yesterday. The family is grateful with the service provided to us by Alternatives. We were happy that our parents had pre-arranged all this before they died.
The two people I worked with at Alternatives were compassionate and efficient -- very helpful. They reached out long after the arrangements were done to see how I was doing after my Mother's passing. It was so kind. My friend’s Mom passed a few months earlier – no one followed up from their funeral home and they were ridiculously expensive. Lower cost does not mean lower service! I recommend Alternatives as my experience was very positive. Thank you Elizabeth and John.
Alternative Funeral & Cremation Services was highly recommended to me and I am extremely happy I went with them. Losing someone you love is one of the hardest things in life, yet during the entire process, the staff at Alternatives were there for me, and they were all so kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. I also want to commend Alternatives for their checklist and letters to help guide me through the administrative process of taking care of my loved one's estate; this was incredibly helpful as well. Thank you so much Alternatives! I have recommended you to a number of people already.
Alternatives have been amazing! So quick, compassionate, and helpful. Nothing hidden. Online forms easy to fill out. No high pressure sales tactics like we experienced a few years ago with a different organization when my father in law passed. I highly recommend Alternatives!
Losing a loved one was difficult but dealing with Gaymond and the entire Alternatives staff was a very nice and comforting experience. We felt very supported in the decisions we made. For me personally, the experience felt like I had a friend helping to guide me through the process, step by step. They came highly recommended to me and I recommend them highly to anyone looking for funeral and cremation services.
Alternatives was so supportive and helpful when my close friend passed. They took all of the burden off me and made sure all details were taken care of so I didn’t have to worry. I was not in the mindset to deal with such things, and their caring and amazing staff took over and made sure the hard stuff was dealt with in a tender and respectful way. I would recommend them to everyone.
All of the staff I spoke with and saw were absolutely wonderful. So caring and helpful. Made sure we could have our viewing before our sons dad had to leave for a very extended work trip. Called after to make sure we were handling things ok. I’m so appreciative of all the help and promptness extended by Alternatives to help with our loss and grieving process. Myself and my family will be forever grateful.
This was the 1st family member we lost and I didn't know what to do but thanks to Juliana and her team at Alternative the process wasn't stressful at all. Once my father passed I gave Juliana a call right away and they dealt with everything. Great, quick, stress free service. They go above and beyond. Highly recommended.
