Our Online Process: A Step-by-Step Guide to Arranging Cremation from Home

When a loved one passes away, the immediate questions and tasks can feel overwhelming. The traditional path of in-person arrangements, office visits, and stacks of paperwork can add to the stress of an already difficult time. We understand this deeply. Our experience has shown us that for many families, what is needed most is a process that is simple, transparent, and can be handled with quiet dignity from the comfort and privacy of their own home. This is the guiding principle behind the Sensible Choice online arrangement process.

Our online platform was created to simplify the cremation process, leveraging technology to provide a convenient and accessible service for everyone. It is designed for families who are comfortable with using email and digital signatures to handle necessary documentation, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: supporting one another and navigating their grief.

The first step in our online process is simply to begin. You can start the process any time, day or night, by visiting our website and clicking the “Arrange Online” button. This is not a commitment to proceed, but an opportunity to gather information and begin the process at your own pace. The platform will guide you through a series of questions to collect the necessary information about your loved one and your wishes for their cremation. We know that every detail matters, and our system is designed to capture all the vital statistics required to complete the necessary legal documentation, such as the Death Registration.

This initial stage is about giving you control. There's no pressure to make quick decisions. You can save your progress and return to it later, ensuring you have the time you need to consult with family members. This flexibility is particularly helpful for families who are spread out geographically, as the online system allows everyone to contribute to the process without having to be in the same room. For families in Brampton, this means you have access to a compassionate and professional service without ever having to leave your home.

One of the most stressful aspects of making funeral arrangements is often the financial uncertainty. We believe in complete transparency. Our Sensible Choice Online Cremation Package costs $1,525.00, and this price includes all necessary services, fees, and taxes for a direct cremation. The price is guaranteed for six months from the moment you begin your arrangements online, providing peace of mind and protection from rising costs. You can be confident that there will be no hidden fees or unexpected charges.

The package price covers essential items and services, including professional funeral director services for online coordination and basic aftercare support, the initial transfer of the deceased, documentation processing, the use of our facilities for the care of the deceased, and a Lakeview Cremation Container. It also includes key disbursements such as the Death Registration Fee, Coroner's Cremation Certificate, Bereavement Authority of Ontario Fee, and the North Toronto Cremation Fee, along with applicable HST. Our commitment is to provide a straightforward and dignified service at a sensible price, ensuring you have one less thing to worry about.

Once you have provided the necessary information, our team of experienced funeral professionals takes over. We prepare all the required legal documentation, including the Death Registration. These documents are then sent to you securely via email for your review and digital signature. We utilize industry-standard digital signature platforms, such as DocuSign or Adobe Sign, to ensure the process is simple and secure. This digital approach eliminates the need for you to visit an office or mail physical papers, saving you time and effort.

Our team is available 24/7 to answer any questions you may have about the documents. We understand this can be an unfamiliar process, and we are here to guide you every step of the way. Once we have received the signed documents, we proceed with registering the death and obtaining the necessary certificates. This streamlined process allows for efficient and respectful care of your loved one, with all the legal and administrative details handled behind the scenes.

While our process is primarily online, it is never impersonal. Behind the digital platform is a team of compassionate and experienced funeral directors who are available around the clock. A common question we hear from families who choose an online process is "Will I still have someone to talk to?" The answer is always yes. We are here to provide guidance and support whenever you need it. Whether you have a question about the process, a concern about documentation, or simply need to speak with someone who understands, we are just a phone call or email away.

The Sensible Choice model is a modern approach to an age-old need. We are proud to provide our direct cremation services in Brampton and the surrounding areas, offering a sensible alternative to traditional funeral arrangements. Our goal is to make a difficult time less burdensome by offering a service that is both affordable and deeply respectful, without compromising on the quality of care.
