Funeral Arrangements
The Way You Choose


We are able to provide a full range of funeral services for your families since we are a fully licensed funeral home dedicated to helping our clients. Arrangements can be made either over the phone, online or we can even come to your home.

How Exactly Does It Work?
Our online cremation quote builder enables you to make informed decisions when organising a Oakville cremation. By either using the said form, telephoning us or calling in, in person you are able to easily arrange a cremation service, whether for a lost loved one or yourself. From the transportation of the body from place of death to arranging necessary documents, we have the ability to organise everything on your behalf. Once all documents have been signed and returned to us then your cremation service is complete. As a licensed funeral home we are also able to issue a Certificate of Death once payment has been processed. This can help you immensely when trying to settle your estate. By not having an expensive funeral home and using existing locales such as chapels and local churches we are also able to keep your overheads down and pass on any savings we make to the client. By doing so we can offer unlimited options regarding cremation services at prices families can afford.

As a testament to Oakville’s rich diversity, many nonconventional Oakville memorial services are on the rise. There is no limit as to what can be arranged for your family. Medium to large group of people will find St. John's Dixie Cemetery and Evergreen Cemetery a perfect Oakville location. Family and friends have enthusiastic locales waiting to host them at Assumption Catholic Cemetery.

We are staffed to serve you in all of the Oakville communities, including Trafalgar, Mississauga, Burlington, Zimmerman, Boyne, and their surrounding neighbourhoods. For a list of facilities where we provide funeral services, please refer to our Service Locations Page.
