Our Direct Basic Cremation Package
We understand how difficult and confusing it can be to arrange a funeral service which is why we only offer one direct, Basic Cremation package. We are Greater Vancouver’s low-cost and affordable option to a traditional funeral (Squamish to Chilliwack).
The Basic $990 Package includes:
- Preparation of documents for signing
- Normal hours transfer from a Lower Mainland government hospital
- Registration of death with Vital Statistics
- A basic wooden cremation container
- Cremation and delivery of the ashes in a basic box to you within 14 days, together with the Death Certificate, within the lower mainland.

FAQ's
How are you different from other cremation providers?
- We are a private, family-owned business with no affiliation to other funeral homes and memorial societies. Learn more about us HERE
- We don't engage in two-tier pricing where you receive one price from the parent company and another cheaper price from their cremation service
- We offer one low, affordable price which many funeral homes will match, except our price started that low
- We don't upsell the expensive extras and ONLY provide you what you ask for because that's Basic.
How else are you different?
- We don't require payment up-front or a deposit! We prefer you pay us once we've completed our service
- You can pay us upon delivery of the ashes to you or just prior to delivery
- We accept E-Transfers, personal cheques, bank drafts, or cash - no credit cards to keep the price low!
How Long Does it take?
Under normal circumstances, we will have delivery of the ashes and death certificate within 10 days from the day:
- Cremation documents are signed
- Your loved one is transferred to the crematory
- The doctor or coroner has sent us the medical certificate of death, whichever is later
What are the costs?
A Basic Cremation Inc. costs significantly less with just one basic package. There are optional extras that will incur additional fees but aren't required - to learn more, see our 'Basic Package' page
