Pre-planning one’s own or a family member’s funeral service is a commonly requested service. More and more people are pre-planning as part of their retirement and estate planning process; however, there are many reasons why families pre-arrange a funeral, be it emotional, practical or financial.
Be assured that whatever decisions are made regarding pre-payment your investments are safe and secure protected by law. Cardinal Funeral Homes Ltd. uses the TD Canada Trust and FamilySide™ (underwritten by Assurant Life of Canada) as depositories for all pre-paid funds.
If pre-payment is not selected, you can opt to record your wishes with us, leaving the balance to be paid by the estate or next of kin.
At Cardinal Funeral Homes we offer complete pre-need, at-need and bereavement services. Our licensed and dedicated team will help you to arrange a personalized service, tailored to suit your family’s needs and budget.
