Pre-planning
It’s common for people to make end-of-life arrangements prior to their passing, including pre-purchase 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.
For funeral homes and places of worship
The City of Calgary works closely with licensed funeral homes, community groups and places of worship, like churches and other religious organizations, to provide space for ground burial, crypt entombment, cremation as well as memorialization products, like headstones and markers.
