Frequently asked questions

  • How quickly can arrangements begin?

    Arrangements can begin as soon as you are ready.  Call us at 416-489-8000 to speak with a member of our team, or begin online at any time.  We will explain the next steps and coordinate the necessary transfer, documentation and cremation arrangements.

  • What is included in the price?

    We pride ourselves on clear, transparent pricing.  Our advertised “from” prices includes the essential services and products required for a simple cremation:

    • Professional services and documentation
    • Transportation within our Toronto service area
    • Cremation-related services
    • A simple cremation container
    • A temporary cardboard urn
    • Required third-party fees
    • Applicable taxes

    If you choose optional merchandise or require additional services - such as transportation outside our standard service area - we will provide a clear, itemized explanation of the additional cost.  You will be able to review the complete price before confirming your arrangements.


  • Can I start online and speak with someone later?

    Yes.  Many families begin making arrangements online and speak with our team whenever they need assistance. Starting online does not mean you have to complete everything on your own.  We are available by phone to answer questions, explain your options or help you continue.


  • How long does the cremation process usually take?

    Once the required documentation and authorizations are complete, cremated remains are typically available within 5 business days.  Timing can vary depending on authorization requirements and crematorium scheduling.  We will explain the expected timeline for your circumstances and keep you informed as the arrangements progress.  If you have a particular date or time-sensitive need, please let us know as early as possible.
