Taking Control in a Difficult Time: A Step-by-Step Guide to the Sensible Choice Online Arrangement Process

The time immediately following the loss of a loved one is universally challenging. The emotional weight of grief is often compounded by the necessity of making immediate, complex decisions about final arrangements, sometimes under intense pressure. We understand this feeling of overwhelm deeply; families often tell us that the most stressful part is navigating a process they’ve never faced before. Our experience has shown us that one of the greatest comforts we can offer is the gift of control and simplicity during a time of chaos.

That is why the Sensible Choice Online Cremation Package was designed—to provide a clear, dignified, and straightforward alternative that allows you to manage the practical details from the peace and privacy of your own home. By embracing digital arrangements, we streamline the process significantly, reducing overhead and passing those substantial savings directly to you.

The core concept of the Sensible Choice Online Package is simplicity and transparency. It is a straightforward option for those who prefer a direct cremation and are comfortable using digital tools like email and digital signatures to handle the necessary documentation. This streamlined approach focuses on the essential, non-declinable services required to facilitate the dignified disposition of the deceased.

The Sensible Choice Online Package is offered at an all-inclusive price of $1,525.00. This flat rate means the price you see is the price you pay, eliminating financial uncertainties and allowing you to focus on supporting your family, not juggling unexpected invoices.

We believe the process of arranging a direct cremation should be as simple as possible. It starts with one call for immediate assistance or by visiting our website to begin the arrangement process.

Step 1: Initiation and Essential Information

The process begins when you contact us or start the arrangement online using our secure portal. This initial step gathers the vital statistics and personal details required for the formal registration of death and the necessary permits. Our system is designed to walk you through each step, ensuring you have the time and space to review and input information without feeling rushed.

Step 2: Streamlined Digital Documentation

In a traditional setting, much of this phase is handled in a formal office environment, adding time and cost. With the Sensible Choice package, we provide all required documentation digitally. This efficiency is a key difference that keeps the cost significantly lower. For families in communities such as North York who are seeking a truly affordable direct cremation service, completing documentation digitally is an excellent way to secure the lowest possible price while maintaining complete accuracy and dignity. Once the required legal documents are completed—including the registration of death and the Coroner’s certificate for cremation (if applicable)—we proceed immediately to the transfer.

Step 3: Compassionate Care and Final Transfer

Once the paperwork is in order, the physical care begins. This includes the initial transfer of the deceased from the place of death (such as a hospital or Coroner’s office) to our holding room. The deceased is then placed in a cremation container and securely sheltered until all authorizations are secured. Finally, the deceased is transported to the crematorium for the final disposition. For the Sensible Choice package, this includes the Cremation Fee at North Toronto Crematorium. Once the process is complete, the cremated remains—in a temporary cardboard container—are ready for pickup by the family directly from the crematorium.

The all-inclusive price of $1,525.00 ensures there are no financial surprises. This package covers the full scope of necessary services, merchandise, and legally required disbursements.

The $1,525.00 package is comprised of the following key components, which are itemized for your peace of mind:

• **Professional Services:** This covers coordination, arrangements, documentation, and the minimum preparation and shelter of remains.
• **Transportation:** Includes the initial transfer from the place of death and the final transfer of remains to the crematorium.
• **Merchandise:** A Victoriaville Cardboard Cremation Container is included, as is a temporary cardboard container for the cremated remains.
• **Disbursements:** These are fees paid to third parties on your behalf, ensuring the legal process is complete. These fees include the mandatory Coroner's Cremation Certificate fee, the Municipal Death Registration Fee, and the Bereavement Authority of Ontario (BAO) Consumer Protection Fee.
• **Cremation Fee:** The Cremation Fee at North Toronto Crematorium is covered.
• **Taxes:** All applicable HST is calculated and included in the final price, so there are absolutely no hidden costs.
