Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services

Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services Compassionate, flexible funeral and cremation services in BC and SK. Canadian owned and operated.

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 locat

ion 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.

On National Pet Day, we celebrate the incredible ways our furry friends fill our lives with joy, purpose, and connection. They greet us with unconditional love, comfort us in quiet moments, and remind us to embrace life with playfulness and heart. Pets leave pawprints on our hearts that stay forever, shaping the way we love, connect, and find meaning in every day. At Alternatives, we honor these special companions as cherished members of our families, whose presence makes life fuller and more meaningful. Let’s see your pets! They make life brighter.

Napoleon Hill, renowned author of Think and Grow Rich, reminded us that ‘the time will never be just right.’ From a life-to-the-fullest perspective, especially in the context of honoring life’s fleeting nature, his words encourage us to act, connect, and make meaningful moments now—because waiting for ‘perfect conditions’ means missing the moments that truly matter.
