Pre-planning a funeral may be one of the most considerate things people can do for their family and loved ones. Tending to the details immediately following a death can often be complex and confusing. By pre-planning, you not only relieve your family of the burden at an emotional time but also of the task of second-guessing what you would have wanted.

You may use our checklist as a guide for gathering information and making arrangements. It also describes our free L.I.F.E. Estate Planner, where you can make a record of your vital personal information.

The staff of The Simple Alternative is there to help and guide you as you choose what you want and how you wish to proceed. We can also make arrangements for you to have your service at a Visitation Centre, located at York, Pine Hills, Elgin Mills or Mount Pleasant cemeteries, or any other location of your choice.

The Simple Alternative makes group presentations to provide free information about pre-planning, as well as other aspects of our services. If you would like a representative to talk to your club, congregation or other group, contact us to make an appointment.
