Final Wishes – Cremation or Burial
Today, many Canadians are choosing cremation as an alternative to traditional burial. Although cremation may seem like the simpler choice, selecting cremation is just the first step in deciding how best to celebrate a life well lived. Just like burial, choosing cremation allows you to have a funeral or memorial service, most people choose a cemetery setting for the final disposition of cremated remains – viewing of the deceased before cremation is an option, as well as a cemetery monument. You can choose from a selection of keepsake urns, jewelry and memorial record packages, ensuring your loved one’s memory is with you forever.
Is Your Retirement Plan Complete?
Are pre-arranged funeral arrangements missing from your retirement plan? Here are three reasons to make pre-arranged plans that fit your personality and values, no matter how your lifestyle changes in the years to come: 1. Life insurance does not cover the cost of funerals. Planning helps pay for the full cost before your death. 2. Funeral planning is part of your legacy for your children. With planning, you have peace of mind knowing that your children are protected from certain monetary pressures. 3. Inflation affects lifestyle and funeral plans. We are here to help. Call us to book a consult with one of our pre planning professionals.

Protecting Our Elders from Abuse
June 15th marks World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, a crucial reminder to protect and respect our elders. Elder abuse can manifest as physical, emotional, or financial harm, often perpetrated by trusted individuals. To combat this, be vigilant: look for signs of neglect, sudden financial changes, or unexplained injuries. Encourage open communication and support networks for seniors. If you suspect abuse, report it to local authorities immediately. Together, we can foster a safer, more compassionate environment for our aging population. Let’s honor and safeguard our elders’ dignity and well-being every day.
