A well planned funeral can play an important role in the healing process, because it becomes the bridge between the past and the future.

Each funeral is unique, just as each life is unique.  Regardless whether it is a "Traditional" or a "Remembrance Service", the friends and relatives gather to celebrate the legacy of a life.  For generations, the funeral service, such as you are now seeing in our chapel, has been a cultural and religious heritage.

Whatever type of service is chosen, the ceremony will forever be meaningful to family and friends and the role of the funeral home is immeasurable.  However, changing times have dictated changing viewpoints for many people.  While a great number of funerals are traditional, there are those who feel funerals are too costly and request a service in a lower price range.

Another Ceremony that is gaining in popularity is the Remembrance Service.  In order to accommodate those who wish this form of service, we have created our REMEMBRANCE CENTER.  This provides the ideal setting for an urn, a photograph of the deceased, perhaps accompanied by flowers and pictures placed on the magnetic collate board we provide.

Also our staff are very familiar with the requirements of military and fraternal services.  Regardless of the specifications, from flags to other paraphernalia, we can accommodate and satisfy the most rigid requirements.

For our client families who do not have a church affiliation, we are pleased to arrange for them a presider or clergy person as requested.

With the changing cultural mosaic, there is an increasing number of Canadians who do not have any religious affiliation.  We can assist in planning a funeral that will meet any need.

Whatever your requirements, we at Burquitlam Funeral Home have many options from a full service funeral to a cost-saving alternative which will suit any budget.
