Services
How we can help
Cemetery choices are personal and address many traditional, cultural, religious and personal beliefs. Our primary role is to provide a final resting space for your loved one, whether through ground burial, crypt entombment, cremation, or with memorialization products, like headstones and markers. Our professional staff can work directly with you and your loved ones by calling 403-221-3660 or emailing CalgaryCemeteries@calgary.ca.
Pre-planning
It’s common for people to make end-of-life arrangements prior to their passing. These arrangements could include pre-purchased plots, crypt spaces or cremation urns.
Advantages of pre-planning
- Pre-planning is an act of love because it means your friends and family will not need to make last-minute decisions at an already stressful and emotional time.
- It also relieves your friends and family of the financial burden of paying for your final arrangements.
- Your family will know exactly what to do, ensuring that the funeral services are provided according to your wishes, preferences and beliefs.
- Like most other products, cemetery plots, niches and crypts increase in price over time, so pre-purchasing can help you save money in the future.
- If you change your mind after pre-purchasing, and decide to rest in a different cemetery or go through a different funeral process, you can always sell your plot, niche or crypt.
For more information, call 403-221-3660 Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
