I Have Pre-Planned With One Funeral Home. Can I Switch?



One of the most common questions we get with regard to funeral services is transferring your funeral plans to another funeral home. We understand that plans do change and, as such, are always more than happy to help you switch to a different funeral home at any point. Many people, who don’t quite understand what their rights are, will not fully pre-plan a funeral service if everything isn’t first in place. We can assure you that no matter what the circumstances, your transfer will go off without a hitch to ensure that your funeral service doesn’t face any undue stress or inconvenience.
If you do end up switching funeral homes, the process is fairly simple. Location and timing, as well as a myriad of other unforeseen circumstances, can affect this ultimate decision. At the end of the day, we are here to ensure that your vision is perfectly captured and make sure that all the little details are covered.

Switching Funeral Plans to Another Funeral Home

When you are aware that you do need to change funeral homes, just let the staff or funeral director know about your intent and they will forward all the necessary paperwork to your new choice with no penalty or fee whatsoever. A common misconception about the funeral industry is that we only care about the bottom line, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. We here at Simply Cremations want nothing but the very best for you and couldn’t possibly charge you for something that is probably largely out of your control. There are many moving parts involved in a proper funeral service and no funeral home would want to cause any damage to your plans. Even if you have very specific needs, they are all transferable with no hassle at all.
We aim to help address your needs and concerns, and not the other way around. If you need anything at all or require any further assistance, please reach out to us at Simply Cremations and our friendly, professional staff will be more than happy to help. A funeral service is meant to be unique to you and we endeavour to ensure it stays that way, no matter what.

Cremation Pricing: What Can I Expect?

  At Simply Cremations & Funeral Services, we have observed that cremation is the most popular method of disposition in the province, with about 65% of the population choosing cremation as their final disposition. As an alternative to burial, cremation is often seen as more eco-friendly, and the cremation pricing is typically much lower when compared with a traditional burial. What Is The Average Cremation Pricing? The cost to have a loved one cremated in our area depends on several factors, including the desired services, the funeral home you work with, and your geographic location. You can anticipate paying between $1,095 and $1,295 to arrange a simple, direct cremation in Calgary, Edmonton, and Red Deer metro areas. Direct cremations can be challenging to arrange in Alberta's more remote areas because of the high costs involved, and you will need to check with the funeral home you are working with. They will provide you with the details you need to make your decision
