Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services

Online forms are very easy and straightforward to fill out. Prices were excellent compared to other funeral services. Customer service team is consistently courteous and responsive. They followed-up with our family for several weeks after. Alternatives Funeral took care of all the details for us, overcoming this hardship could have been much more difficult if it were not for the efforts of this team. Each and every interaction I had with the team was pleasant and professional. I would recommend to everyone.

If you are looking for a caring, compassionate, honest Funeral & Cremation Service company, I highly recommend Alternatives in Aldergrove BC.It didn't matter how many times I called them, every person that answered the phone was more than willing to answer my many questions in a calm and reassuring manner. I am very glad I chose Alternatives to help us with the arrangements for our Father. From my very first call about, oh no my Dad just passed away

From start to finish, Ännika was absolutely amazing. When my mother went into hospice, I contacted Ännika to help us make all of the arrangements. Before mom even passed, we had the peace of mind of organizing her cremation, so that we wouldn't be stuck making important decisions in the throes of grief. When mom passed, someone came and transferred mom to the funeral home. It was done with such love and respect.When I met with Ännika shortly after mom passed to go over the final details, she graciously provided us with information on what to do next, canceling bank accounts, applying for death benefits, etc. She walked me through all of the details so I could pass it along to my father.Initially I had said I would plan moms celebration of life and once the time came to do so, I was lost. I mentioned that to Ännika and she explained a new service they are implementing, wherein they arrange the entire celebration of life even if it is outside of the funeral home.Her fee was more than fair and she worked so hard on our behalf. She arranged and organized everything for us in such an efficient and professional manner. We had our vision of what we wanted, which was a little unorthodox, and she made it come to fruition beautifully.The day of the service, I was beside myself and not much help, but Ännika and her team arranged and executed everything beautifully and professionally. I can't imagine having to organize this event without them. Our family is forever grateful to Ännika and her team.

Alternatives Funeral & Cremation were recently used after the passing of my dear mom. I had made the necessary pre-arrangements with both Tyrel and Andre back in September 2022 for both my mom and myself. They made the process easy and gave me they assurances that all would be done as I had planned when the time arrived. All certificates were provided in a timely manner. They worked cooperatively with the cemetery staff from another organization to ensure that everything was done to perfection from both sides. Thank you to both Tyrel and Andre for carrying out your duties as promised and for your presence at the graveside service. It was all very much appreciated. Dennis

I was very happy with the compassionate way (Alternative funeral services) at the time, helped us with the arrangements for my mom. She was accepted as an organ donor so the process was a bit more involved. Everyone was very professional and caring. I would highly recommend them to any one.

The staff were so compassionate, caring, and helpful in dealing with handling all the details. Great followup contact to ensure if there was anything else they could help with. Thanks for making a rough time manageable.

What a great experience considering the task at hand. Very empathetic and helpful staff. Kind and considerate.Arrangements were made even delivering the remains so a second trip was not necessary. I have recommended this facility to many people and will continue to do so

Approximately 2.5 years ago my mom passed away and I knew nothing about making funeral arrangements. It was suggested to me to call Alternative Funeral Services. When I called I had the pleasure of talking with Gaymond Wong on the phone and set up a time for him to come to our home. He was very helpful and caring and made a difficult process seamless and stress free. He was very knowledgeable too which was a great help to me as well. My father recently passed away too. It was a comfort to know I could reach out to call Gaymond at Alternatives Funeral Services and everything would be taken care of above and beyond what I could ask for. Forever grateful!

This is (sadly) the second time using their services. When I received the phone call, to hear from caregivers that my elderly loved one had passed away, I knew exactly whom to call. The young person who replied was able to help me navigate the primary bits of necessary information required by them and the care facility. Within a few hours there was a funeral director that oversaw the transfer on the body to the proper facilities. Within reasonable length of time, I, the funeral director, and another staff member discussed all the details for upcoming cremation.This company knows the difficult and emotional business of dealing families and those dealing with end of life losses. They manage it deftly.

The death of a parent is one of the most difficult times in a person's life.Alternatives was there for me in 1994 when I had to deal with my father's passing, and now in 2023 they were with me once more when my mother passed. Annika, Elizabeth and the team completely reduced the stress of dealing with the inevitable. They were comforting, sympathetic and very professional regarding both the process and followup at this heart-wrenching time.I would highly recommend Alternatives, especially if your parent has specific wishes.
