Funeral Service ($4,395 plus GST)

Funeral Service

The Calgary Funeral Service is a more traditional choice where the casket is present for the service, with burial to follow. Just because it is more traditional, doesn't mean it can't be personalized. When comparing the cost of funerals from Choice Memorial Cremation & Funeral Services with traditional funeral homes in Calgary, you will likely notice a substantial difference in the price. We are able to maintain affordable funeral services prices by offering services in our funeral home for small gatherings up to 70 people, or using existing facilities in our city to hold the service. If you have a church home, you already have a beautiful venue to hold the service. If you do not have a church home, and are expecting a larger gathering, as your funeral service provider, we will find the perfect venue for you.
