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.

A healthy environment is crucial for our overall well-being and vitality, as it directly impacts our daily lives. One effective method to enhance our environment is through composting, which offers numerous environmental benefits. By composting, we can significantly reduce waste production. For instance, in the City of Prince Albert, a staggering 40% of landfill-bound waste comprises organic material that could instead be transformed into compost, thereby averting the generation of methane gas and harmful leachates within the landfill. Embracing composting practices not only minimizes waste but also contributes to a healthier planet and a more sustainable future.
